 More Alarms In Europe.
 The past week as a whole has been one of excursions and alarms as wild men have in turn broken out on the continent of Europe The attempt of the ex- Emperor Karl to plant him self once more on the Hungarian peoples fortunately ended in a fiasco, but the revolutionists in Portugal have affected change of govern ment by the simple expedient of kill ing their predecessors.
 Three other eruptions and unset- dement's are under way. The Poles and Russians are growing across their loosely fortified frontiers and the Silesian verdict of the League of Nations has led to changes in Ger many which may mean reopening of the observation-disclosures agreement for the reconstruction of devastated France.
 There is, in fact, general ferment instead of much needed qualification. The only evidence of returning san ity comes from Paris, where the French premier has spoken some words of wisdom to the French chau- vinists. He has reminded them of Waterloo, Sedan. and although the warning Is somewhat belated. it may yet restrain some who in the name of liberty would appear ready at all times to play into the hands of H. cense.

.STEVENSON'S SHIP
 SAVED FROM LOCKER
By Associated Press

Seattle. Wash, October 27.-Hhe old South Sea trading schooner Equa- tor, famous as the vessel on which Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have received the inspiration for his story of "The Wreckers,' has been granted a reprieve from Davy Jones boneyard of outworn ships
 The Equator, for many years "a Pu- get Sound steam tug, was about to be discarded when 1t was decided
 to open up her hull. The frames were found to be of Port Orford ce- dar and as good. according to ma rine men here, as when she slid down the ways at Bernicia, Cal. in 1888. As result the vessel was recently re- built, her steam engine replaced with a Diessel-po engine and she will shortly resume her career as tug. The story goes that Stevenson, making a voyage in the Equator then a schooner among the islands of romance" was sitting in the cabin one night with a gathering of trad CTS, pearl fishers and others and heard a South Sea yarn that gave him the idea for The Wreckers." La ter he recorded that fact in his diary

Thousands Now Take Iron ized Yeast Tablets to Build New Health, Strength, En-

Thousands of people who were
 formerly thin, weak. nervous, run down or languid, have seemingly
 taken a new lease on life since Science discovered that the health giving, energy producing clements called "vitamines" were contained in great quantities in Yeast.
 But to help bring more quickly ard more thoroughly the added flesh, the soothed nerves, the strengthened muscles. the clear skin
 and the wonderful energy, the blood must be enriched also.
 | That Is why Science has combined Yeast with organic or vegetable
