SAILORS DESCRIBE
 NAVAL DISASTER
Tennessee and Idaho Were Behind
 Mississippi

San Pedro, Calif., June 13.-How the explosion aboard the Mississippi appeared to sailors on the decks of Narships near the scene was told by members of the crew of the Ten nessee and Idaho. superdreadnaughts that were steaming in formation about 1000 yards from the Missis- sippi.
 Tt was just a few minutes before noon and we were expecting mess call when somebody yelled: Look at the Mississippi said a sailor from the Tennessee. "All the ships had been firing consistently, their guns emitting a cloud of smoke from the muzzle followed by tongue pr flame.
 But this was different. The No. turret on the Mississippi was hid den in a cloud of smoke. Then a burst of flame enveloped it, We knew something had happened. In fact. we knew just what had hap pened. When one works around the guns he figures his chances and knows just what would happen if a charge were to explode prematurely.
 We knew that about every man in that turret was dead. There are only two small hatchways to escape by, and they couldn't have gotten out if they wanted to. I had a friend in that turret.
 Immediately after the explosion we saw the crew of the Mississippi hurrying to quarters, We knew that they would flood the turret to stop any chance of the fire getting to the magazines below the gun deck.
 The Tennessee and Idaho imme- diately stood by and lowered small boats to give assistance If it was needed. Ships doctors were sent aboard. The other ships of the fleet also were scurrying up, making q circle about the Mississippi. At first it was fearsd, think, that the heat Of the explosion would cause all of the guns in the turret to explode, with the chance that such an eyplo- sion would reach the magazines and wreck the entire ship.
 For more than an hour the Missis- sippi lay of San Ctemente Island while her crew fought 10 control the fire and recover the bodies of ihe dead companions. We could sec lhem working near the turret.
 We're due for target practice again Friday morning but I guess we won't have any more had luck"

EXPLOSION WORST

of the turret and reported no sur- vivors.
 Then he went back and brought out the first bodies. By then other vessels in the diyi- sion knew what had happened. The Tennessee and the Idaho stood by and lowered small boats. Ships sur seons were sent ot the stricken ves- sel
 Over all was the apprehension that other guns i'm the turret might ex- piode: that the explosion might reach the magazines and wreck the Missis- sippi.
 Another Explosion.
 One other gun did explode and too, at the tragic moment when the bodies and injured men were being transferred to the hospital ship Relief after a race to port in the wake of wireless messages that gave naval officers ashore their first inti- nation of the disaster. That the second explosion did not send a projectile crashing into the center of San Pedro was due only 10 the fact that after the first blast the damaged turret swung around so that it's guns pointed out to sea. Communication Officer Morgan, at tached to the battleship New Mexico. announced early today that the bodies of the victims would be kept aboard the hospital ship Relief pending word from their next of kin. Telesrams were sent to those relatives. last night.
 He said that the bodies would be transported to their respective homes or buried in the National cemetery at Arlington, Va. in accord with rela- tives' wishes.
 Fumes Cause Death.
 Inhalation of flame, gas and poison ous fumes, rather than the violence of the explosion, caused the deaths. witnesses pointed out. The explosion itself did little damage. The flames which followed created the inferno in which the 4s perished.
 Many officers and men aboard the ship did not know of the disaster un- til several minutes after it occurred. The blast came at time when other guns were roaring at the target.
 Three officers who died were sta toned in a booth immediately be- hind the brooches of the three rifles, Their chance Of escape was even smaller than that Of the men. as they were located farthest away from the hatehes.

Vegetables And Vitamines

MERE was time when mothers
 thought that fruits and green
 vegetables were responsible for their children's attacks of intestinal disorders. And perhaps they were sright-because with due respect to a lbygone age, the mothers of yesterday did know how to cook vegetables scien- ltifically. How to cook them in order ito retain the important clements they lcontained. It is a question if they knew that ordinary vegetables con- ;tained mysterious elements called vita mins which are necessary to proper Inourishment, especially the nourish- ment of the growing child.
 Vitamins are vague affairs but scientists agree that they are present in all so-called nourishing foods. Certain ly green vegetables have generous then, feed your child more vegetables.
 Instead of chocolate bars and ice cream cones which overload small ,stomachs with carbohydrates and make them stodgy, let them have fruit juices and well cooked green stuff.
 Leafy green vegetables are impor- Itant to all diets because they are rich Iin lime, iron and other valuable salts. They furnish rOughage for the body and this aids in proper elimination.
 Suitable vegetables for the growing child are spinach, carrots, string beans, Ipeas, squash, celery, asparagus tips and Tomatoes.
 The strained juice of canned to- Imatoes may be fed to small babies as safely as orange juice and is equally good them.
 Spinach is q very important green but it must be very carefully cleansed, ms it is full of grit and dirt when 1t comes from the garden or market. Always wash spinach leaf under run ming water if possible. Use many waters, then allow it to stand in cold water until ready to cook. Spinach contains a high percentage of calcium, iron and phosphorus. For this reason it is especially good for little children as it furnishes lime for the teeth and the bones. Spinach helps to make straight, strong bones and strong teeth.
 All green vegetables may be boiled but steaming is better, if possible. It is more economical and it preserves the true content of the vegetable, giving the child the vitamins he needs.
 To steam vegetables, place them in a tightly covered cooker with perfo- rated bottom. Place this over n kettle of boiling water. If you have no proper steamer, use a double boiler. Steaming requires more time than boil ing. After cooking, always press spin ach through Il coarse seive, add little salt and butter, and reheat before eerving.
 Fresh young vegetables are always preferable. They should always be well Bcrubbed and cleaned before cooking.
 Practically all vegetables should be so tenderly cooked that they will press easily through a seive, making a puree of vegetable which is most easily di- gested and which most children enjoy.
 Sometimes, when children think they dislike certain vegetables, they will eat them as a spread between thin bread bnd butter.
