NEW LONDON, Conn, June 49,
After seven months delay due chiefly
to rough seas, the United States Navy
at last is ready to lift the submarine
S-51, sunk on the night of Septem-
her 26 last, Is miles east of Block Is
land. when it was rammed by the
steamer City of Rome.
Unless ground swells and tenn
pestuous water again interfere, the
men who have worked long and per-
sistently to salvage the vessel hope
that either late tomorrow night or
early Monday the submarine will come
up to the surface from the darkness
and silence of the deep.
She lies tonight in the place that
has been her grave since she sank
with her crew of 36 officers and men.
She is on the sandy floor of the AT
lantic Ocean. 1870 feet below the sur
face and cooped up within her are
the bodies of perhaps "a of her crew.
Three were saved and the bodies of
nine others were recovered.
Six Boats Working
Moored above her, at a lonely spot
just beyond sight of land, are six
craft with 500 men, who since early
April have been constantly at the
scene of operations, attempting to
overcome the handicaps of angry
weather and shifting conditions at
sea.
A little sentiment as we'll as a prac-
tical purpose has dominated their eff
forts to raise the submerSible. Al
though some say the bottom of the
sea is the only grave a sailor asks,
the Government has considered the
wishes of relatives OF the victims and
also wants to honor the memory OF
the men at a funeral.
The practical view of the situation
is The Government spent $2,290,952
in constructing the submarine and
when it does come up it's hull, Navy
officials say, will have value of about
1000, 900 and the craft can without
much difficulty be put into service
again.
All Preliminaries Completed
All preliminaries to the raising of
the submarine have been completed
What remains is for the salvage work
ers to force compressed air into the
eight pontoons attached to the sub
marine and buoy the vessel up to the
surface. If the Navy succeeds in this
great attempt it will be because it en-
listed all the instruments and powers
of science available to overcome the
mysteries of the sea. If it fails the
submarine in all likelihood never will
be brought up.
Last Fall. after the submarine was
sunk, the Navy, in desperation, did
what all desperate persons do. It re-
sorted to brute strength in the form
of powerful derricks, which. with all

On the 10th of May, which is Syl- via's twenty-second birthday, Peter gives a picnic supper for her. Fay and Ranny slightly tipsy, arrive late.
 The crowd pair off to play hide and-seek, like children, in the dark woods; and Sylvia during the course of the evening finds herself alone with Ranny He tells her that he and Fay have made up their minds that they don't love each other, and says that he never really cared for anyone but Sylvia, and she reCklessly suggests that they run away together that night and be married. So they do. They spend all night sitting in Ranny's car, and in the morning they get a license and are married; and they begin their honeymoon at q little country inn.

Sylvia Starr, who looks like a flirt, but isn't one, has been engaged to Randall Phelps for year, when he asks her to break their engagement He tells her that he has fallen in love with her best friend, Fay shir- ley.
 Heart broken, Sylvia gives him up, greatly to the satisfaction of her Aunt Agony, who has brought her up. Aunt Agony insists that Fanny is a lazy good-for- nothing, and ad- vises her niece to marry Peter Wilk, a well-to-do bachelor, several years older than the girl.
 AS the time draws near for the June wedding Of Fay and Ranny, Fay seems less and less eager for the marriage. She admits 10 Sylvia that she and Ranny don't care so much for each other as they once thought they did. And Sylvia dis covers that she is secretly seeing a great deal of Eddie Carter, a former sweetheart of hers.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service

When erysipelas occurs in parts of the body other than the face, if is usually due to infection being implanted in some wound. This wound may be only a pin scratch or mere blister.
 All wounds in the skin should re- ceiye careful attention. Never put dirty fingers into a wound and re- member that in speaking of wounds any finger is a dirty finger that has not been thoroughly scrubbed with soap and hot water for at least five minutes.
 There arc germs all over our hands, and, very often, erysipelas germs, especially under the nails.
 Always use sterile gauge on wounds that require a gauge dress ing. Never put cotton next to q wound. It will stick and may cause infection. Cotton may be placed over the gauge but never on the wound itself.
 Blood poisoning must not be thought the same thing as erysipe- las.
 Blood poisoning in one case may be quite different from blood poison- ing in another. Instead of using the ter blood poisoning. you should learn the meaning of the words sep ticaemia, pyaemia and toxaemia and remember that fever and other con- stitutional symptoms so with all thes. conditions. There are quite a number of germs which cause these conditions.
 Septicaemia is generally used to mean that there are germs in the blood but no local suppuration, no infected wound, no local abscess. If the germ in the blood is not one of the common producing germs, 1t is often spoken of as bacteremia.
 However a local infection may become septicaemic-that Is, the germs may enter the blood from a local wound. When this happens, and when abscesses occur in other parts of the body, particularly in the internal organs, the condition Is spoken of as pyemia.
 ToXemia differs from septicaemia in that the germs themselves from Q local infection do not enter the blood but the poisors or toxins pro- duced by the germs do, and cause constitutional symptoms such as fever, headache and various other disturbances.
 Dlphtheria is an example of toxe- mia. It may rarely become a sep ticaemia or bacteremia. An in- fcctod wound may remain through out ifs course a toxemia or if may become q septicaemia or pyemia. All these conditions are loosely call led blood poisoning.

place."
 "The safest place in the world" said a voice behind Johnny, and then there was a thump that made Johnny almost turn a back somer- sault in order 10 get inside his hole Never had he been more startled. It was some minutes before he even dared poke his nose outside that he might look around and sec who had frightened him so. When at length he did look out, there was no one to be seen excepting a big, gray old Rabbit sitting up at the edge of tangle of brambles a few feet away. Johnny stared most impoitely at the gray old Rabbit. Where did you come from?" he demanded at length.
 That isn't the question at all" retorted the gray old Rabbit. "I be- long here. The question is, where did you come from"
 That's my business" growlcd Johnny C. lck. Were you the one who said that this is the safest place in the world? Because if you did. you don't know what you are talking about"
 How long have you been here?" inquired the gray old Rabbit.
 Not long, but long enough" re- torted Johnny Chuck.
 The gray old Rabbit grinned. I've lived here all my life" said he. "So you must admit that I ought to know. If it were not q safe. place, I wouldn't have been alive long enough to grow old and gray. When a Rabbit can live to be old and gray he must be living in q safe place. If you don't like it up here, what did you come for?"
 q didn't come, replied Johnny. "1 was brought here" Then, because he really wanted to talk to some one, he told the story of how he had been caught in the trap by Farmer Browns Boy over in the Old Pas turc.
 The old gray Rabbit listened at tentively. Finally, he asked a ques- tion.
 DO you know Peter Rabbit ?" he inquired. Of course, Johnny replied that he did. Do you know Mrs. Peter?" was the next question. Again Johnny nodded and said that he did. Well" said the old gray Rabbit. I'm Mrs. Peters father"
 "Ohl" exclaimed Johnny, then you must be Old Jed Thumper. I've heard Peter and Mrs. Peter tell about you"
 "Yes,' replied the old gray Rab- bit I'm Jed Thumper"

sion written on her mirror-like face,
 To call this heavenly little sanc- tuary a God-forsaken placel Why, it had been the happiest spot she had ever found. She loved every bit of it, from the windows with their white-dotted muslin curtains to the cool, dark dining room with its beamed ceiling and tiny tables. She loved it because she had spent the most wonderful week of her life here with Fanny.
 How would you like to go back to town?" he said, as he got out of | bed and reached for his pipe and 1 dressing gown. 'today?-I'm sick of doing nothing but watch the grass grow. How about you?" If Sylvia had told the truth, she would have said that there was nothing in the world she liked more than to watch the grass grow, as Ranny put it. She had never done anything so pleasant as to walk through the country lanes and across the green fields with Fanny, talking to him lazily, or reading to him as they lolled under a tree or a hedge. But she would never admit it, she told herself proudly. If he was tired of the country and the quiet, it meant that he was tired of being with her. It meant that he was sick and tired of the honeymoon and wanted to got back to things he was used to-the crowds of people, the jazz, the noisy streets of the city and the friends he had there. Hes sick of mel" Sylvia quietly told herself the truth.
 But her smile had never been more brilliant than when she looked at him with those flirt's eyes of hers and said; Fanny, I'm lonesome for town, too. I'll pack this morning.
 It took her an hour to put their things into the two bags that they had bought, and to straighten up the rooms-the bedroom that looked out into a leafy tree with a birds nest in it. and the sitting room that look ed out onto the lawn.
 Ranny was standing out on the lawn, smoking. He had told her to send the bags down by the bel-boy when they were ready
 That meant that he wasn't coming upstairs again-that he wasn't going to come again into the room where they had been so deliriously happy. to give her one last remembering kiss. It meant nothing to him-the happiness that they had shared there together, then.
 She bit her quivcring lip as she stood there, looking down at his well-lovcd head.
 He turned and drawn by that look. raised his head and saw her.
 Don't forget my khaki coat in the closet, Sylvy," he called.
 She got 1t. As she took it down from the hanger something In it's inside pocket rustled, and Sylvia put her hand in and pulled 1t out.
 It was Pays letter!
 Not stopping to read it then, and almost without thinking what she was doing, she put 1t into her hand bag and ran down to Fanny.
 (TO BE CONTINUED.)
 What does any girl know about her husband? Can Love continue to put down the doubts that arise in .Sylvia's mind concerning her hus- bands constancy?
