The rough weather continued until
we ran into Madeira. We could not
60 alongside here as the water was
too shallow, and the passengers had
to land in small boats. / did not go
ashore as l had bad fall ara h'trt my
knee. Besides l learned by bitter ex-
periance that places Portuguese were
much better when looked at from a
distance, and Madeira from the ship
was very pretty sight. The hills be
gin right from the waters edge and
go straight up. The hillside is very
prettily terraced and you see the hous
es one right above the other.
We had not been very here long un
til the native boys came out in their
boats to dive for pennies. l never saw
anything like it. Toss penny in the
water and under they would go, and
they would bring it up every time.
Sometimes even, they would have
them between their toes. One little
boy about nine or ten years Of age
climbed right up on top Of the ship
into the captains bridge and dlved
off. Another dived under one side Of
the ship and came out at the other
side Then three of them turned their
boat Upside down on top Of them and
sang songs underneath.
Several passengers went in bath
ing from the ship. Among them ii
lady whom we boys had called the
Queen OF. Sheba, because she was such
a horrible looking person, and be-
cause she persisted in dressing in the
brightest collars Imaginable. Size came
out on deck in bathing costume that

cclors were concerned, and sticking
up from. her yellow bathing cap she
proudly wore a silver star. I don't
know what she thought she was
But to cut a long story short, size
went in. She seemed very happy fer
a few minutes until she let out a
whoop that fairly shook the ship. 4

arm and was holding on for all It was
worth. One of the diving boys We'll.

lieye me she was Cnc detected looking
mortal as she stood there Oh deck
with her silver star dangling over
one eye.
We were supposed to be at Madeira
one day but we happened to hit a
week that had nine Sundays instead
of seven, so we could not get our car
go off. During these days we were be
seiged by boat loads of wicker chairs
and baskets, and embroidery. AS you
know Madeira is famous for its wick
er chairs. l could have bought enough
for all the verandas IL Monterey for
a few pounds. But the Captain had
had experience with. these chairs be-
fore and he asked the shipping COM
pany to impose c teriff of one pound
on each piece Of wicker work. IIe
said that one time he made the trip
and by the time the passengers had
finished buying chairs he had to
.hrow the cargo overheard in order
to make room for them.

could spend day or so there very
profitably.
l did not do much sight seeing my

were making the trip merely as a

went, however, to see the Cathedral

king and his son who were assassin
ated in Lisbon few years ago. The
inside of the church was finished in
Mcsais work and certainly was very
pleasing to gaze upn., The church
was eight hundred years old but it
looked much newer and cleaner than
buildings erected in London within
the past generation.

London, January 1S.-(Special) The War has made London the political center of the world, and one of the eenters of Londons complex foreign political life is the old Russian em- bassy.

The Russian revolution is a phase of history which baffles understanding by it's nearness, but some day every scrap of informa- tion out of Yusupoffs household in Belgrave Square and out of the Rus will be eagerly collected and pieced together by future historians.
 RASPUTIN'S NEMESIS
 To begin with. Prince Ynsupoff is something more than the wealthy. good looking Russian aristocrat who came to oxford. married 8 czars granddaughter and danced in the most important English bathrooms. The men and women in the street regard him as the man who was responsible |" as the saying goes, for ridding the Russian court of Rasputin.

 Two 1.-the young men were tying up bundles of finished shirts on the morning that I wished 21 Belgrave Square. They were grandsons of Czar Alexander III. princes of the imperial house of Russia. and they were work ing in their shirtsleeves. Not many years ago the tales of their lace baby clothes. their ornate cradles and gold safety pins would have made rich copy for womens magazines all over the world. Now they are landiess aliens, working for a chance to get back what bolshevism has taken away from them.
 The director general of this astound- ing workshop is a woman of middle age, very plainly dressed in black. She wears no jewelry. She sis the Countess Carlow, who once had pal aces filled with wonderful treasures. For nearly six months after the bol- sheviki took them for the Russian peo- pie. she lived in a small house, never knowing what hour of the day or night the bolsheviki might choose to kill her.

 ZIRON is not patent or secret remedy. It's ingredients are printed in plain English on the label. There is no camouflage.
 Every doctor can tell you the therapeutica value of every one of those ingredients Every druggist knows of their worth. Every person. who knows little about drugs has heard of their use and merit.
 Don't make the mistake of thinking that any preparation containing iron will have the same effect on the system that ZIRON lroI Tonic has.
 The ingredients are different-hence as 1 the results. The iron itself is different ZIRON co tains inorganic iron-some other compoun are made from organic iron. The differen in this one item alone is important. (See ti United States Dispensatory, 20th Editio page 477.) The other ingredients in zIRON are all oi great value in the treatment of anemic condi- tions of the system, when the blood is poor, when you tire easily, catch cold easily suffer from rheumatic pains, indigestion, have a poor appetite and lack energy for your daily task
 Thousands of people have used ZIRON Iron Tonic with great benefit in cases of this sort.

 Professor Metchnikoff's great discovery that the corpuscles of the blood formed nat ural defense against disease, has never been thoroughly understood by the public.
 Take a group of germs, seeking to gain a footing in human body, so they can develop and thrive As soon as they gain foothold, general alarm is sent by the nerves to the heart. The heart pumps blood to the affect ed part. You have an inflammation" The corpuscles of the blood attack the germs and literally eat them up.

Every person has Thought and won
dered if all they read about the sunk

would do If they were on the sinking
ship. The German Submarine
U-35 was one of the most succesGful
Of the German feet, having a record
of twenty-three ships destroyed.
When she was finally captured by

the actual sinking of these ships for
the German government, intending
them for showing in Germany.
The war being over, these films
have been released for showing in
