Ones mind is a trecherous thing af-
ter all. A few days ago at the City
Rooming house, Ash and Fourth St,
the guests fell into discussing the
date of the sinking of the Titanic. Ac-
cording to a new encyclopedia at the
library the boat went down on Sun
day night, April IA, 1912. Of the 2,223
passengers and crew on the ship, 832
passengers and 685 of the crew
| were lost. Some of the guests thought
the date was farther away and some
nearer than the one given.
