Along towards morning I got up and
put on new night gown had, for
I thought the end was near and I
wanted to look all right when people
found me-Some time.
Friday morning the children were
too weak to hardly move. Their
bodies were all sunburnt and their
faces swollen and hurting them. And
they were crying for water and food,
but [ couldn't give them any, and
it nearly broke my heart.
Digs for Water
started to dig in the sand. 1t
blistered my fingers, and stopped.
I gave the children some raw po-
tatoes, jelly and Crisco we had left,
and it helped them q little. But Lii
liam couldn't eat any of it. Then
I prayed to the Lord to send water
just for the children-but the Lord
didn't send any water.

The heat was about 1870, I guess.
She was out of her head, and she

crying. Mama, buy me some ice

I prayed the Lord to take her quick.
But the Lord didn't.
And the other two. children, Ruth
and Elmer, began to go out Of their
head. They were afraid to die, they
said But I told them not to be
frightened, for it was so very easy
to die. But little Ruth looked up
at me and said: Mama, I don't
want to die; I haven't seen anything
of life, yet" And I told her:
"Ruthie, I'd rather you would die
than to have to go through all the
experiences of life" And little Ruthie
smiled, and asked why the Lord
didn't come to relieve them, if He
was so good. And I couldn't an

Sisters Draw Lots
To See Which One
Should Drink Poison

GENEVA, Nov. 1.-THE love
tragedy of twin sisters who drew
lots for death by poison became
known recently in the Innsbruck
courts when one Of them was tried
for murder. She was acquitted after
she told her story.
The girls, daughters Of farmer
named Goldheim, fell in love with a
former Hungarian officer, who was
unable to distinguish the girls, and
courted both, thinking he was al
ways with the same sister. The Of
ficer, when he realized the situation,
asked the girls to decide which
should marry him.
They solved the problem by pre-
pairing a glass of water and a glass
Of poison. They drew lots and the
loser drank and died. When the
surviving sister was arrested, the
officer diSa DDeared

i, 6. HAS No IDEA
Of SCRAPP|NG YARDS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-(By the
Associated Press).-The British sug-
gestion that each of the naval pow
ers retain at least one naval build
ing yard capable Of turning out one
ship a year does not appear to be
understood by the American naval
officers particularly familiar with
construction problems. There was
no suggestion in the American linn
itation proposals that any yards be
scrapped, and so far as navy yard
facilities in this country are con-
cerned all will be needed, it is said,
in the maintenance and repair Of the
retained fleet.
At present the United States has
several navy yards equipped to build
capital ships. It has not been con-
templated here that it would be
necessary under the reduction pro-
gram to scrap the equipment of
these shops and building docks. Some
Of the machinery would not be need
ed, of course, for repair work, and
would lie idle, but the bulk Of the
government plants in each case
would be constantly in use in keep
ing up the eighteen battleships to
be retained by the United States, it
was said. These ships, the newest
in the navy, are in many cases now
approaching the point where regular
oVerhauling programs are necessary
to keep them in first-class shape,
and with the scrapping Of the older
ships that have been keeping the
yards busy up to this time, Of
ficials feel that sound repair pro-
gram as to first-class craft can be
adopted for the first time.
If the British suggestion, a wholly
infromal one as yet, so far as known,
has to do with providing means for
insuring the advancement Of naval
engineering knowledge during the
proposed ten-year holiday, there is
no doubt that it will receive much
approval among American naval
officers. That aspect Of the holiday
proposal already has appealed to
technical experts of the United
States. They have assumed that
this would be covered in the final
form of the holiday agreement.
One thing that many officers hope
will be possible under the limitation
program is that the navy can be
kept in better shape at all times than
was possible with the larger fleets
and extensive work on new pro-
grams. This has to do, it is said,
more with preparation Of plans for
vessels of all types than with the
actual condition Of the ships af1oat:
Those are always in about the sta e
Of readiness it would be possible to
keep them; but with technical per-
sonnet released by the reduction of
the navy from other tasks, it. is
hoped that plans for all sorts of
auxiliaries which would be needed
in war can be kept up on a thor
oughly matured scale, and these
vessels not be, as was the case
in 1917-1S, the product of hurried
planning. The question involved is
one of keeping a sufficient technical
force at work during the naval hol1-
day to round out and revise the
MANS constantly.

Basis for Compromise
To End Garment
Strike Is Sought

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Concilia-
tors of the state bureau Of mediation
and arbitration were seeking today
a possible basis Of compromise by
which to break the deadlock in the
garment workers strike, involving
10000 men and women.
Efforts in this direction also were
being made by the American Cloak
and Suit Manufacturers associa-
ton, known as the Independents. y
A peace committee Of $50 is being
formed, in the expectation that the
various interests involved may be
induced to settle their indifferences
before the making of spring goods
starts in January.
The strikers were heartened by
the announcement of Benjamin
Schlesinger, of the international
Garment Workers union, that en-
ployes of members of the Women's
Garment Manufacturers association
in Philadelphia also had voted to
strike on November 81 against re-
StOratiOn of the piece work system.

COLORADO MINERS !.
DECLARE STRIKE

WALSENBURG, Col, Nov. IL
Martial law was proclaimed today
in the Colorado coal district, scene
of the bloody mine war Of 1914. A
walkout of union miners started at
midnight.
One hundred and fifty armed state
rangers patrolled the coal fields of
Huerfano county to prevent disor-
derS.
The strike began at midnight,
when several hundred miners of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company quit
work following announcement Of a
rs per cent wage reduction.
Union leaders said 1900 men would
be out by noon.
Colonel Patrick Hammock, in
charge of the rangers, said the I'M
usual precautions were taken be-
cause of death threats" made
against mine superintendent. The
miners, he said, would not be per-
mitted to build a tent city" to
house themselves and their families,
if the company evicted them from
their homes.
Issuance of the martial law proc
lamation by Governor Shoup imme-
diately followed the Walkout.

Brunswick Channel
Proves Adequate "
For Monster Ship

BRUNSWICK, Nov. 1.-THE
largest vessel ever in this port is
now lying at the docks Of the At
lantic Refining company. The COM
ing Of this monster ship, the j. P.
Donnell, of $4,000 tons, attracted
considerable attention along the
river front and in shipping circles
generally, and it is said it is the
largest craft ever to enter this port.
This immense steamship came in
with no effort, and not even a jolt
was felt as she crossed the bar.
Captain William Loback was en-
trusted with plotting this steamer,
and carried her on past the water
front of the city on to the wharves
Of the Atlantic Refining company,
showing beyond a doubt that the
size Of the vessel makes little differ
ence when it comes to entering this
port.
Captain Pray, we'll known in the
oil trade on the Mexican and At
lantic coasts, is in command Of this
monster.
A most remarkable record has
been made by this vessel in the dis
charge of her cargo. The steamer
locked at o'clock Monday after
noon with a cargo of crude gaso-
line. The first part Of the cargo
was Immediately run through the
refining process and loaded on tank
cars ready for shipment as it came
from the huge pipes.
Before the entire cargo had been
unloaded, several carloads of the
refined article were ready and start
ed on their journey to their various
destinations. This is considered by
those who are deemed expert ship
pers as one of the most remarkable
feats ever accomplished on this
coast.
The Donnell sailed Tuesday after
noon at 6 o'clock for Mexico, having
made a visit of less than twenty
four hours in this port, in which
time she discharged a very heavy
cargo.

invalid INVENTOR
USES BED FOR SHOP

LOS ANGELES.-Five years ago,
Edgar A. Young, Of this city, re-
tired for the night, to awaken par
alyzed from the waist down.
Young has never walked since, but
he hasn't let his affliction get the
best Of him.
~ A contractor by trade, me-
chanic of ability, and an inventor,
Young set to work Immediately to
make the best of things.
Lying in bed, he constructed a
work bench set on rollers, which
he can adjust as he pleases. And
before that bench, he has sat for
five years, planning, inventing,
eternally working.
Young's bedroom-workshop is
crowded with material, and devices
within reach. He invents only
things for which there is a practical
demand.
There is new type saw-set, a
wood plane of a new model, a wal
nut-brander, a 1922 model monkey
and stilson wrench, and many other
utility devices.
But the pride of Young's heart
is an automatic fig packer, which
he claims will do the work of three
or four handpackers. He planned
and built it from odds and ends Of
wood, steel and aluminium while sit
ting in his bed, and he demonstrates
it's practicability by neatly packing
a box Of figs while one waits.
Young accepts his affliction phil
osophically. 81 never worry" he
said. cit would only make me feel
bad, and then I might not be able
to workout 1 DO wish / could get
somebody interested in some of these
things They're good and practical
I know that-but it costs money to
advertise and put 'em on the mar
ket, and we haven't got much of
that. I am not unhappy. Even
though can't walk, L can work
and think. And I've got Dell, here,
the best wife on earth.
"Things'll come our way yet, and
then maybe the doctors can help
me get well, and I could get new
pair Of Specs too"
To his many friends and to the
casual visitor Edgar A. Young, cheer
full despite his 'cross," is an inspir-
ing example Of courage.
