fodder and picking tomatoes. Some

One of the most devastating rain
and hail storms visited this section
last Thursday night, doing much dam
age to fodder, tomatoes and late lima
beans. There were two storms that
centered- over Milton, the first about
4:30 in the afternoon. The hail that
accompanied the rain and high winds
were large and did damage to wind
ows and tomatoes. The second storm
descended about $3.50 and was accom-
corn fiat. This storm was accOmpan-
led by hail but the stones were not
so large as the first storm, but the
wind was stronger and blew the
stones with great force, mashing to-
matoes and puncturing watermelons.
The storms seemed stronger and more
severe on the south side of the Broad

There used to be considerable
doubt whether it was impossible
for a human being to live for a
century. Reports of centenarians
were not convincing to people
with a taste for statistics and
documentary evidence. That
doubt, however. has been pretty
well swept away Recently there
have been a lot of news items
about people alive or departed
from life at anywhere from one
hundred to one hundred and
thirty-six years OF age.
Most of these very likely have
been exaggerated tales. based as
usual on tradition and unintcn-
tional distortion. But many oil
them seem beyond controversy
Among the latter may be set the
latest case. that of West Vir-
ginia farmer who according to the
family record was born in Scot
land in 1896.
1t will be observed, however
that practically all of these in.
stances of extreme longevity have
to do with people living simple
plain uneventful lives, SO far re-
moved from the world OF action
and progress that no attention is
paid to them until their death,
Really, is long life so greatly
to be desired when it can be said
that the most important part of il
is its end?
Far more desirable seems the
ideal represented by the death
bed words of Theodore Roosevelt
who finished his course at an age
comparatively early. 81 have had
a full life and happy one.
Properly estimated, Roosevelt
lived longer than score of these

AS a leader he lacks every
quality which brings success and
his personality is of that nature
which wrings wishes from those

the Russian flagship was sunk by

that Russia has suffered two dis.
asters-the drowning of the gal

WANT LAWS WADE PLAIN

Much more foolish platforms
have been announced by candi-
dates than that of the woman
lawyer of Kansas City, who says
she wishes to become a member
of the Missouri legislature to
render the laws of her state more
simple in language and stated in
terms which may be understood
by the majority of persons.
She declares that the laws of
MsSouri-and the same might be
sad of many other states = are
ritiiculously complex and need
lesslv puzzling, and many OF them
are impossible OF being under
stood except by experts and then
admitting of more than one in
depreciation. She believes that
such a service as stating the laws
in plain language, would go far
toward inspiring a greater respect
for them.
According to her viewpoint,
many OF the laws seem to have
been written in the belief that BY
making them a mystery whole
some fear would be inculoated.
and that rendering them in
telligible enough for familiarity
would breed contempt.

TWO SAILORS SACRIFICED
TO SAVE SUBMARINE CREW

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1.-Two men
were drowned from submarine un-
dor singular circumstances during the
recent Swedish coastal feet manoeuv-
res. They we're really sacrificed to
ensure the safety of the whole crew.
The submarine Illern, II appears,
fircd torpedo at a movable target
and then came to the surface i'm order
to see the effect produced. Four OF
the crew came on deck. but trouble
suddenly occurred in the ballast
tanks, and the commander immediate
ly closed the hatch and submerged,
leaving the four to their own re-
sources.
Three OF the mon were washed of
the deck, but the fourth chung to the
submarines periscope. The sub
marine rose again quickly and this
man was rescued. Two of the men in
the water, including the son of Ad-
miral Ancarerona, were caught in the
wash Of the battleship Sverige and
drowned. The other man was picked
up by naval cutter.
1t is reported that the entire crew
OF the submarine would probably have
been lost II the commander had failed
to submerge immediately the, trouble
was discovered.

No CHANCE FOR CYRIL

The Grand Duke Cyril. who
has been making the motions of a
man who expects to be recogniz-
ed as the wearcr of the Romanoff
crown, has been informed with
diplomatic dclicacy BY the Rus
sian exiles at Paris that he hasn't
a chance i'll the world to repre-
sent a restored throne and EN-
pire. The best of the monarchists
would have none of Cyril, who
is described as a parasite OF no
character, private or public. In
the days OF Nicholas, the Grand
Duke Cyril was always a trouble
maker, mainly because OF an in
eptness. which is these days of
psyche analysis might be given
a much harsher name.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
SCHOONER"

THE word "schoon." which
came over with the Dutch
from Holland. was used for many
years IN New. York and In. New
England as a term TO denote the
peculiar movement OF stones or
nat pebbles when skipped along
the water, and IL Is from this
that we derive the word "schoon-
er" as applied TO a certain type
OF sailing vessel.
The first schooner ever con-
structed is said to have been
built In Gloucester. Mass, about
l7l3. by Capt. Andrew Robinson.
Z The boat was laid out along
novel lines, In order TO produce
a maximum of speed and she nat
urally rested on the water. rather
than In II. Hardly had the sails
been set for the trial trip, than
a bystander cried out, "0h look
how she scoons along mean
ing that the craft hardly seemed
to touch the waves, bur skinned
along on the surface. Robinson
instantly replied: "A sooner
she is.' and, from that time to
this, vessels thus masted and
rugged have gone by this name,
though an N" has been insert
ed as the third letter.
The use of the same word In
ante-prohibition days to desig-
nate large glass of beer. Is
more difficult to trace, but It
probably had IFS origin In the
foam On the top Of the glass--a
substance which appeared to be
analogous to the white-caps of
the ocean. for certainly no one
would try to "scoon' a ''schoon-
er Of beer" over the waterl
