LETTER FROM MRS. MARY Al
DEN PRESCOTT TO HER son,
JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT
MY DEAR BOY:

MY DEAR BOY:
I cannot understand from your
letter just how Leslie came to burn
herself. You say something about
a paper being lighted from a cigaret.
I do hope that Leslie is not smoking
too much. OF course 7 think that
smoking at all is too much, but dear
Priscilla Bradford told me that Les
lie had that modern habit. so natur-
ally I can only think that the acct
dent of which you speak as an ex-
cUse for your wife not writing me
has come in some way from that de
plOrable habit.
I wish. my son. you had told me
that you were going to marry in
such haste. Had [ known this
would have tried during the last year
to have saved enough money out of
my meager income to have painted
the house this spring. AS it is pre-
sumo the old homestead will have to
go neglected and forlorn. It would
not have been so had your father
lived.
Convey my kindest regards and
commiserate Leslie upon her accident
and believe me always.
YOUR LOVING MOTHER

Atlanta bankers. The smaller banks,

from what is known as bootleg

sHUN FLOATING C0FFINS
French Sailors to Go to Sea on Ger
tain Ships.

tain Ships.
French freighters of a certain type
have earned such bad reputation
among seafaring men, that today sail
ors are refusing to go to sea on them,
while naval draughtsmen at Paris de-
clare they should be taken out Of serv-
ice altogether.
Twelve such vessels were built by
The government during the war. Their
holds are clear, with no bulkheads
which permits the sudden shifting Of
cargo, and their water ballast tanks
have a trick Of filing Unexpectedly.
Five Of them already have turned
over. The last was the Emile Durant,
which rolled over without warning and
drowned 10 members of the crew.
Nevertheless some sailors are occa-
sionally found, from time to time, who
will take a chance, so several of the
craft are still at sea.
