A thrilling tale of the sea
comes over the cable from Lon.
don telling of the attempt now
being made to raise the Lusitania,
the most noted Of Germany's SUBJ
marine victims during the World
war. Count Landi, who has Sc
cured three year contract with
insurance interests to salvage the
vessel, is confident of success.
fhe Lusitania is sunk in 2S5 feet
Of water, ten miles off Kinsdale
Head, Ireland. 1t is planned to
close all the watertight compart-
ments of the big ship, patch the
rents made by the torpedo, and
raise her by expelling the water
with compressed air. There is
said to be a large amount of bull
lion, jewelry and other indie
structible valuables in the ship
that will afford millions of profit
to the workers if they succeed.
The Lusitania was sunk with
loss of 1,5O0 lives. including
number of Americans, in 1915.
Landi expects to find the vessel
in fair state of preservation,
saying, "There seems to be no
reason why we shouldn't t find her
just as she sank, for she was the
strongest ship in the world. She
is lying off gravel bed and
probably the only damage we
shall find will be the hole torn in
her side by the torpedo Landi's
wrecking cruiser cost $350,000
and is equipped with all the lat
est diving devices. The whole
world will be gratified if the sea
is forced to give up whatever re-
mains of the Lusitaniil and the
treasure she carried down.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2s, 1922

had any kind words for the late
Senator Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia, who died suddenly in
Washington Tuesday, now are ex-
pected to find a good deal to say
in praise of him, since his life is
ended and their commendation
will do him no good. This is
weakness of human nature, how
ever, which is not peculiar to the
press. We 60 through life say
ing hard things about our fellow
men, but when the grave closes
over those we have condemned,
frequently without good cause,
most of us are decent enough to
> stop there. Senator Watson was
remarkable man.. one of the
strong men in the nations public
life, and had he been elected to
the United States senate before
the infirmities of age laid hold
OF him, his name would have
been written higher OH the scroll
OF the country's great men. We.
have said that Senator Watson
was a remarkable man, and. SO
he was-remarkab in many re-
spects perhaps but certainly in
one: for the sake of expediency
and. for his own advancement he
never learned To sacrifice that
which he believed to be right, al
though he knew that the view he
frequently took Of public matters
was not the popular view and
that by refusing to travel with
the crowd, as many public men
do, regardless of their own con-
victions, he spurned the political
favor which might have been his
had he held less obstinately to his
own views. Senator Watson was
not q. strict party man, because
he sometimes thought the party
was wrong, and he dared say so.
Way back III the early '9us he
lost seat in the lower house OF
Congress after serving one term
as the representative Of the Au-
gusta district because he consld-
cred the principles OF the fopu-
hist party more IN the interest OF
the people than those of the
Democratic party. Later, in 1896,
he was the candidate OF the fop-
uiist party Tor the, vice presiuen-
cy and in 1904 made brillial,
campaign for the presidency MS
the nominee of the same party,
but lost, Of course. In recent
years he had returned to the Dem
ocratic party, but lacked much of
bt ing an admirer of Woodrow
Wilson and criticised severely
the conduct of the country's part
in the World war. No one ever
accused him, however, of being
in sympathy with the Republican
party. Two years ago he defeat
ed ,Hoke Smith for the United
States senate and there was no
Indication that he had since lost
the hold he had on the Democrats
Of Georgia when he was elected.
senator Watson had one " eak-
ncsa and that was his vanity, |

FAMILY WELFARE DEPARTMENT
 ASSISTING SANTA CLAU

 The family welfare department of the United Workers had few very gener- our responses to its Christmas appeal 1 last week. one coming from a long dis ! tance. California. but it needs more money, toys. candy and fruit As the i family welfare worker goes in the diff ferent homes where help of various !; kinds is needed she asks the children what Santa Claus is going to bring
 them.
 Befere they have time to tnswer, the , tired mother usually says, T don't thirk Santa Claus can come this year be- cause their father was out of work so l long and now that he has a job they need so many things The little faces 1 look dowrcast but there is a lightning change when the welfare worker says that she knows Santa Claus very well and will tell him these children want fsometfling for Christmas.
 i One little girl said she wanted sled and 9 doll; suggested that her two year old brother get wagon to pull,' and said the new baby didn't need any thing. She was then told she might get a doll. but not a sled and that the baby !Wouid have a rubber doll. She thought this a very good arrangement.

RUG LOOM HAS BEEN 1 USED IN FIVE COMMUNITIES

The rug loom loaned through the New
 London County Farm and Home Bu-
 reau has been. in five communities in the
 last three months. Lyme, Gales Ferry, North Stonington, Stonington and Wa terford.
 The loom is loaned for two to three weeks to each community. The groups
 are taught to warp the loom and weave. This makes a good method of using up rags which accumulate from time to time. Some of the best looking rugs ma de were cut of old ingrain carpets, over alls and grain sacks dyed desirable col ors. It costs about 20 cents to make a
 rug a yard square. Thus the usual
 length rug costs only 40 cents and takes from two to three hours to weave. Two of the communities using the
 Farm Bureau loom have since purchased looms for community use. The Weque-
