Grim Spectre Piloted This
 Ghostship ofDiamondShoaLs
 Into Another Ocean Mystery

ship. No living thing saw her end.
 Sunset was drawing down the gloor1 of night on a Sunday evening when pa trols from the lfe-saving station looked their last for the day across the storm fretted shoals. The surges ran white over the lurking menace of the sands, headstoned with relics of many a stout craft But there was no sail in sight. The wide reach of the sea beyond was empty in the gathering gale
 In the morning the Deering lay before them in the grip of the sand, her canvas set and slatting to ribbons in the wind, her boat gear hammering overside, her boats and her people vanished. All day the lifesavers sought to reach her. Some of her crew might still be aboard Time and again they were beaten back by wind and sea and it was a day later before it was known positively that she was an empty ship, stripped of all life before she had plunged into the death trap.
 There was no mark on her to show why she had been abandoned. She was ap- parently undamaged until the wind and sea and sand had their will of her and slowly ripped her timber from timber, on the shoal Under the drive of her sail the ship was buried beyond the power of tugs to pull her out And in the weeks that have passed not word has come to tell what became of her crew No body has been washed up; no remnant of the lifeboat of clothing came ashore,
 The battered hulk of the big vessel forlorn with topplng masts and grimy, torn canvas, the hull filling with sand through opened seams, stands ghostiS monument to the unconquered power ol the sea.

Beaufort, N. C., March GA grim spec tre stood unseen at the helm of the Batft- built schooner Carroll A. Deering when she cleared Rio de Janerio harbor last December, riding light, and winged out to sea with Norfolk port to make. via the Barbadoes.
 The ship was tough and trim from truck to keelson, sound throughout and no more than sweetened to the ways of the sea by her year off the building stocks. A stout New England shipmas- ter, weathered to all the gales that blow trod her quarterback. Above him clean, sound canvas lowered away to the five great masts that drove more than thousand tons through the water on airs that no more than famed the cheek
 Today she is 'The Ghostship of Dia- mond Shoals" her bones bleaching in the graveyard of the Atlantic,' her master and crew vanished, no man knows where or why She has added one more page to the seas great book of mystery; paid tribute to the grim power of the deep that on occasion strikes through all that men and science can do to shackle it, to claim it's own.
 There is no record of the Deering's last voyage She sailed full handed, thrilling with life and power. A month later she staggered. binding shoreward, alone ny night to ram her way to her last berth on the shoals No hand tended her wheel; no man stood to clack a sheet or spiil the wind from her tortured canvas tc ease her death struggle, She was dead

 Young Blood
Makes Old Folk Young
 and Weak Folk Strogn

If you look and feel old, weak, and nerv- and discouraged: if you are lacking in the vim, courage and energy that you used to have, it's almost certain you have old blood--blood that is lacking in oxygen car rying red cells; and that your nerves are also run down. What you need to make you look and feel young. strong and vigor- ous is more red cells in your blood and stronger nerves. For this purpose one of the finest things known is to take>a five grain tablet of Blood-Iron Phosphate with each meal. This supplies just the right kind of red-cell- making iron and nerve fine and strong. Go today to Eugene Jacobs Drug Store, Jacks Drug Store. Gil- christ-Tarrant Drug Co.,. any other drug gist and get enough Blood-Iron Phosphate for three weeks treatment; it costs only s1.50--50c a week--take it regularly, and you'll be simply amazed at the results.
 Try it and see. Your money back if you want it.-Adv.

CHURCHES OF US. GAIN 667,0OO NEW
 MEMBERS IN 1920
Marked Increase Over 1919, When Aggregate Number of
 Members Gained Was { Less Than 44,O0O
By Associated Press


 New York, March 6.4-Churches of the rev members in 1920, according to a cen sus compiled by the Christian Herald, made public today by Dr. H. K. Carroll of Plainfield, N. J., who gathered the statistics. He said this was a marked increase over 1919, when the aggregate number of members gained was less than a4,ooo.
 Dr. Carroll said in 1919 decreases were shown in most of the churches. He com pared figures of some of the larger groups showing that in 1919 the Metho- dist group lost 75,951; Presbyterian group lost 46, ,459 and the Baptist group lost H. 10S. In 1920 these groups gained respec- lively 2S7, 127. 4S.031 and 129,83. The three large Baptist bodies, he said, have not yet completed their statistics, and it is believed that the actual figures will show a gain of more than 129,0OO in the year. Baptisms in the southern Baptist church have reached the unprecedented figures of 600 with churches yet to be heard from.
 The Roman Catholic church showed a somewhat smaller increase in 1920 of lZ1,- 579. Doubtless when immigration sets in
  will be greater.
 Notwithstanding the very encouraging returns in the number of commitments, said Dr. Carroll, "losses continue in the number of ministers and of churches in the various denominations. There is net loss in the Methodist group, and this decrease has been going on for some time, apparently without serious denomi- national notice. The Methodist Epis- copal church lost 200 churches in, 1920 ana 228 in 1919.
 The loss of churches for all denomina- tions is 556 for 1920. ''There is an increase in the aggregate number of ministers, but many of the denominations report losses, which are numerous among the Lutherans, Presbyterians and Baptist bodies, and heavy in the United Brethren church. The increase for 1920 is anoma- hnr tn 11rdprsfan f'
