caIiber, entirely new lines of work
for government plants. The South
Charleston plant is a SO, 100000 en-
terprise occupying more than 200 acres
of land. 1t will be ready for making
armor and heavy forgings as soon as
the assembling of the necessary work
ing force can be completed. Disturb
ed labor conditions incident to the var
have been responsible for a delay IN
getting the work started. The new
plant is equipped with every modern
appliance for the manufacture of its
s~pecialities and will turn out annually
$4,000 tons Of plate, guns, pro-
jectiles, and miscellaneous ordnance
forgings.
Engineers, m~etallurgists, and mill
and machine shop men will be inter-
ested In the positions which are to
be filled in the supervisory and sub
ordinate forces. The United States
Civil Service Commission has an
nounced for this plant the need of a
superintendent of melting shops at
$4,000 a year,.a superintendent Of forge
shops at $4,000 a year, foremen of heat
treatment of armor plate at from $40
to $14.40 a day, foremen of heat treat

CHAPTER XVII:
ON Board the SLAYER.

VIA ~ SsN~
The terror of the two men as this
thought dawned upon them in all its
horror was apparent enough. Nothing,
not even fire, was more to be dreaded
than a visitation Of this awful nature
on %shipboard. Charnel ship though
this might be, it was safer by far than
the cockleshell towing alongside.
sLet's find out the truth first, men,"
/ said quietly. Hold your tongues.
There is no use giving up until we
know what the danger is. Will you
come with met"
The terror in Sans eyes caused me
to laugh and my OWE courage came
back with a rush.
afraid of dead men, are you? Then
well face them together, my lads, and
have 1t over with. Come on, now, both
of you. Buckle up; there is nothing
to fear, if you do what / tell you
this isn't the first cholera ship I've
been aboard"
1t was no pleasant job confronting
us, although we had less dead men to
handle than / anticipated. Indeed, we
found only five bodies ON board. There
were only two on deck, a giant, coal
black negro, and a g~ray-bearded white
maR, his face pitted with smallpox.
Determined on what was to be done, /
wasted no time with either body. The
two sailors hung back, terrorized at
the mere thought of touching these
victims of plague. l steeled myself to
the job and handled them alone, drag
ging the bodies across the deck and
launching them over the low rail into
the sea. i ordered Schmitt to cut the
lashings and take charge of the wheel.
"See here, Sam, and you too,
Schmitt, j am In love with that girl
in the boat. Do you suppose / would
ever have her come on this deck If 1
believed she might contract cholera?
You do as / say and you are perfectly
safe. Now, Schmitt, remain at the
wheel, and you. Sam, come with me-.
There will be a dead niger aboard
unless you jump when / speak"
He trotted close at my heels as I
flung open the door leading into the
cabin. The air seemed fresh enough
and I noted two of the ports wide
open. A tall, smooth-shaven man, with
an ugly scar down n cheek, lay out
stretched on a divan at the foot of the
after mast, his very posture proclaim
ing him dead. His face vas the color
OF parchment, wrinkled with age.
The negro crept up behind me and
stared at the upturned face.
my Gaud, sab, he wus de Of cap

In what was evidently the captains

the width of water constantly increas-
ing.
"Now, DULLES, jump fer it il yer
want ter go. All right then, my hearties,
let's hunt up something to work with
and scrub this deck. That's the way
to clean out cholera"
He led the way and they followed
him, grumb1ing and cursing, but ODE
dent. / added a word of encourage
ment, and in a few minutes the whole
gang was busily engaged in cleaning
up the mess forward, their first fears
evidently forgotten in action. Watkins
kept after them like a slave driver.
It was not difficult finding plenty
for the lads to do, making the neg
lected schooner ~shipshape, and adjust
ing the spread of canyas aloft to the
new course ] decided upon. Sam
started a fire in the galley and pre-
pared q hot meal, singing as he
worked, and before noon / had as
cheerful a ships GREY forward as any
man could possibly ask for. Dorothy
and ! glanced over the log, but gained
little information. AS the sun reached
the meridian / ventured again into the
cabin and returned with the necessary
instruments to determine our position.
With these and the pricked chart, |
managed fairly well in determining
U location, and choosing the most
direct course toward the coast.

NO KNOWN CURE
FOR HOG CHOLERA

There is no known cure for hog
cholera and no preventive except the
anti-hog cholera erum when properly
used" says J.. B. Francioni, swine
specialist, Extension Division, Louisi-
ana State University, "and farmers
should guard against using the cures
advertised by the local store keepers.
Bulletin number 223 of the Indiana
Experiment Station, Lafayette, gives
the results Of a fair and quite elabor-
ate test of 20 different preparations
which are being sold as cures or pre-
ventives for hog cholera, or for what
the manufacturer claimed great Writ
ues as hog, cholera cure. The results
of this test show those preparations
to be without value for curing or pre-.
venting hog cholera.
1.-THE Louisiana Livestock Sanitary
Board, Baton Rouge, conducted some
of the tests of a few sure cure hog
cholera remedies and have had the
same results as the Indiana Station.
The same is true of other tests con-
Quoted by different state livestock SAN
itary boards and experiment stations.
in spite of the fact of all tests con-
Quoted and all other proofs that hog
cholera cures are of doubtful value,
still many farmers will readily accept
the claims of any one offers a "sure
cure for hog cholera.
The statement is often made that
such WORTHLESS cures do no harm if
they do no good Such is moi the
case. The delay they cause in consult
ing the demonstration agent or veter-
marian as to the proper course to fol-
low in treating the affected animals
is costing the farmer thousands of
dollars.
Treat all sure cures with grave
suspicion, and place dependence in
anti-hog cholera serum. Proper farm
sanitation, good feed and proper
management will reduce hog cholera
to a minimum and vii save much
money"

to do that before he asked us aboard.
Now there is no danger SO long as we
remain on deck. / have no fear"
The Swede shook his head, grum-
bling something, but before the revolt
could spread Watkins broke in.
"An' that's right, miss. ] wus on the
Bombay Castle when she took cholera,
an we he'd twenty-one days of 1t

We lost sixteen o. the crew, but not a
