OLD NEPTUNE WAS
EVIDENTLY DRY


VANCOUVER, June 6.-The thirsty
ocean yawned and almost engulfcd
the steamer Spectator few days ago,
according to a report IN marine circles
here. The British vessel was bound
for Mexico with 10000 cases of Scotch
whiky aboard.
The vessel was $50 miles off the
California coast, according to the re
port, when an earthquake mussed up
the bed of the ocean. A grinding,
sucking noise followed and the ship
was sucked down.
The engines stopped dead, and there
was hill of water on either side. This
lasted for 90 seconds, and then the
vessel pulled clear. Two minutes later
the ocean took another gulp at her,
but found her too hard a pill to swal-
low, and finally permitted her 10 pro-
coed on her way without further peril
Whether the gulping was a rcficc-
lion of the mental attitude Of Cdlifor-
MIA citizens, or whether the members
of the Spectators crew had been
sampling the cargo could not be
learned.

BEAUTIFUL IDEA IS a..
STRONGLY ENDORSED

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 6.-The
plan of bordering the great highways
of the nation with trees planted to per-
petuate the memody of men and wom-
en- who served during the World War
has been recommended to all state de-
partments of the American Legion by
F. w. Galbraith, Jr., national COM
mander. The idea originated with IL
linois department and has received the
support of the strongest newspapers
of the middle west and of high federal
and state officials.
1t is proposed to plant 100000
trees of types recommended by the
Forestry Bureau and set out in accord
ance with the advice of the bureau. To
each tree will be :H>sixed plate bear
ing the name and military record of an
ex-service man or woman. The Lin
coin and Dixie highways would first
benefit from the project, according to
present plans. ultimately, it is
hoped to honor every veteran of the
World War with tree bearing his
name

 How many young girls suffer as Mrs. Tegarden did and do not know where to turn for advice or help. They often are obliged to earn their living by toiling day in and day out no matter how hard the pain they have to bear. Every girl who suffers in this way should try Lydia B.
