HOBOKEN, NJ J.,Nov. S.-"Fad-
der God done it." were the stirring
words uttered by Joseph Notice, big
dark skinned Jamaican cook, fondly
known to the crew as "Bill', when
he stood on the dock at Fifth street.
Sunday morning holding his Bible
in his hands and flanked by his
eight white rescued companions.
They drifted with him on the sea
in an open boat seven days follow
ing the abandoning of the four-mas-
ter Horatio Fess as she foundered
400 miles off Bermuda.
VIM. d. Potter, the captain, UNI
folded the tale of the sea, which
began with the abandonment OF
their four-masted schooner and end
ed with the cooks comment, GOD
save us ALL"
Bound for Martinique from Phila-
delphia, the vessel took a battering
from three successive gales and
sprang leaks when 400 miles off
Bermuda.
On October % the crew took to
the sea in a twenty-foot motorboat,
its engine removed to make 1t light
er. The schooner sank soon after.
Fer six days the crew roared and
baled and maneuvered their craft
with makeshift sails. Notice prayed
almost constantly.
When the seventh day dawned,
and their larder was reduced to
seven BISCUITS, land was sighted,
Bermuda, and the men bent to the
oars, but a gale beat them back
when they we're within few miles
of shore.
Then they sighted the Volendam
as she steamed out of Bermuda. d.
One of the red flares that had
been stored in the life boat before
abandoning the lost ship was light
ed. In the just beginning twilight,
that red signal caught the eye Of
the captain on the Volcndam's
bridge. within half an hour the
rescuing boats ladder dangled over
the heads of the nine refugees. And
so "'Fadder God" had come at last.
When "Bili- shipped on the lost
schooner, he asked for two things,
a bottle of rum and a Bible. They
gave him both. And thereby hangs
tale.

to those girls who do not make a spon-
taneous hit with men is to stop vast
ing their time and their energies in
trying to attract them and find some
real interest.
The queer thing about it is that
as soon as you reach me point where
you are Indifferent to men and don't
care much Wheeler l44ey notice you
or not, ~--ey Wiz prOLaDly be crazy
about you.
And if you have everything else in
the world to make you happy, why
worry so much over the man problem,
anyway? 1t seems that girls put the
attentions of men above everything
else on earth, and feel thai if they are
not being rushed by some men-be he
ever so observation-disclosures else
is dust And that is truly tragic
However, if we try, we can find
many worth while consola Ion prizes

Biliousness

Old fashioned biliousness, or spring
fever, is less prevalent now than in
the good old days. 1uis is probably
due to the fact that part of the So
called biliousness, was really malaria
or ague, which disappeared when
swamp lands were better drained
Another reason for less biliousness
is that we have learned to choose
fresh fruits and green vegetables and
not dIet composed of overdoses OF
pork, pancakes, bread, potatoes and
pastry. Better refrigeration and
transportation have made oranges
lemons, spinach, tomatoes and many
formerly summer foods available all
the year around. If you are troubled
with biliousness, these eight remedies
will help:
Lemonade before breakfast; eat
lightly; exercise in the open air;
drink an abundance of water; eat
vegetables and fruit; do not eat be-
tween meals; chew slowly and thor
oughly; fast absolutely when you feel
bilious attacks coming on.

Candy Hints

In spite of the fact that we know
it adds ounces to our weight, the
sweet tooth will occasionally get an
irresistible ache. When it does, make
delicious homemade candy-as good
as you know how-and then eat what
you crave taking care to deny your
self all other sugar and starch foods
for meal or day. To counteract
the evil effects of too much candy,
eat lavishly of oranges, lemons, coarse
vegetables, fruits, and bran
When making candy let it cool be-
fore beating it. Keep it covered
while it is cooking. This holds the
steam in and dissovles the sugar
crystals as they form around the
edges of the kettle. Have the fire
low under it or it will boil over. A
little more butter and a little less
cooking will make the candy more
waxy and less granular If you want
to keep candy from drying out, seal
it in TN can away from the light
and atmosphere.

APRIL 8TH rs
BIRD DAY IN
ARIZONA STATE

Gov. George w. p Hunt has issu-
ed formal proclamation, designating
April as Bird Day"
The governor recites the fact that
the country sustains an annual loss
of $1,000, 100000 by insect pests and
that this loss can be greatly over
come by protecting and increasing the
life of the bird, the insects greatest
enemy. The proclamation states:
"The preservation of the bird must
come in a large measure through in
stilling in the minds of school chill
dren of Lne state love of nature and
knowledge of her benefactions;
"That the public schools and all
societies, as we'll as individuals, CO.
operate in the work of saving the
birds, l request that all teachers in
the public schools and the people gen
orally shall observe 'bird day. with
appropriate exercises that the value
of birds may be better recognized"

In Confidence
! ADHERING TO IDEALS

Mine is the eternal man problem
how can l attract them? l have just
about everything a girl needs to make
her happy-but haven't a boy friend.
Because will not drink, smoke or pet
l never have a date. Do you think
am right in adhering to my ideals
Do you think that some day will
find man who can love and appre-
ciate a girl who has a higher am
bition in life than just good time
I don't mind waiting, but sometimes
| become rather discouraged when /
see the type of girl men seem to fall
for and marry. ID. w.
l am no prophet where men are
concerned and don't know whether
your Prince Charming is on his way
| to you or not-but l can tell you one
| thing for certain, and that is that even
| if your Prince Charming never makes
| his appearance you will be a lot better
off than you will be if you take, in
your despair, callow little jelly
bean without two ideas in his head.
| 1t is only the woman who is fortunate
enough to make good marriage who
is better off than the girl who does
not marry
| While love and marriage are highly
desirable blessings they need not be
the whole of life, and any girl who
sacrifices her high ideals in her effort
to win husband, pays too high price
for the sort of man she might at
! tract-for he certainly could not be
Of the type desirable as a husband.
No girl makes a mistake by ad-
herring to her loeals. Personally,
doubt very much if the girls who
pet, drink and smoke culinary the
modest, self-respecting girls. Altho
| have no statistics in the matter
I am of the opinion that their chances
are equal. Men do not love girls be-
cause they drink, smoke or pet-they
may love them in spite O. it. Neither
does man love a girl because she
| doesn't do these things although he
may be very glad she doesn't He
loves her because there is some kim
dred in their natures that strikes a
spark. After that, nothing else mat
ters.
One of the mysteries that has never
been solved is why certain girls are
magnets that attract every man they
meet, while other girls, probably just
as charming and good-looking in every
way, never have a cate. Frankly,
believe that If girl is attractive to
men, it doesn't make the least bit of
difference that she will not drink,
pet or smoke He finds her compan-
ionship sufficiently interesting and
stimulating. It's a sad fact, but it's
true, that there are many women who
would never be popular with the op-
posite sex regardless of the conces-
sions they might make, and my advice

Eggs

Eggs are one of our cheapest
sources of body building materials.
They contain no waste, are easily
cooked and are completely digested.
They are best when cooked below the
boiling temperature -coddled or soft
boiled.
Though eggs come in their own
sealed package, the shell, they should
be chosen from a clean yard, as the
filth and germs of unclean surround
ings will be passed on into the egg.
Fresh eggs may be preserved in
water glass, using one quart of the
commercial liquid to eighteen quarts
of boiled water. Pour this into two
6-gallon jars and it will preserve
thirty dozen eggs. Eggs may be
added daily. The top layer should
be covered by two inches of the
liquid, and a cover kept over the jars
to prevent evaporation.
Spring eggs, infertile, will keep
better than fall eggs Pack only
clean eggs, but do not wash them, as
the egg has a slime upon it which
helps to seal it, and washing removes
this protection.
