Employ Nelu Process
for Coloring Wood

The use Of colored woods in the con-
struction Of furniture has long been
known, the material being stained aft
er the necessary seasoning process.
Within the last few years, however,
a method of Austrian origin has been
employed, whereby the wood is col
ored when in a green state.
By means Of heavy pressure in a
closed vessel the sap is driven out OF
the wood and is replaced by the color
ing fluid. which may consist of So
luton of the more permanent aniline
dyes. The best kinds of wood for
treatment are found to be birch,
beech, alder, plane, elm and lime; oak,
fir and pine being unsuitable because
they do not stain uniformly.
The colored wood is used for furni-
ture making and for the manufacture
of doors and window frames. 1t can
also be employed for outdoor pur-
poses, In which case no painting Is
necessary, although a coating Of var
nish would seem to be necessity.
For the fitting of ships, railway cars,
and similar purposes, this stained
wood appears to be eminently fitted.

those ludicrous incidents which so Oft
en- accompany historic events. In those
days the uniform of American naval
commanders was an affair of much
gold lace and buttons as to the coat,
ruffled shirts and tight knee breeches.
At the opening of the engagement
Hull, after twice saying 'Not yet" to
Morris's request for permission to
open fire, had finally given the word
and as he did so he twice bent forward
almost to the deck. When the smoke
of that first thunderous volley cleared
away it was discovered that HuITs
energetic movements had split his
tight breeches from waistband to the
knee! But there was no time to change
then and in this unheroic costume
he continued to direct his men
throughout the battle.
The Constitution kept near her
prize all night. At dawn the officer
in charge of the Guerrero reported
that she was filling with water and
in danger of sinking. So Hull sent
his boats to bring off the prisoners
and the prize crew and by three
o'clock in the afternoon the ship was
deserted. She was too much damaged
to be saved, so she was set on fire
and fifteen minutes later an explosion
that scattered blazing brands far and
wide over the waters marked the end
of "England's Guerrero"
Hull arrived in Boston on August
80 and reported his victory to the
secretary of war. When the news
spread 1t was received everywhere
with the widest demonstrations OF
joy, for it meant that England's reign
as "the mistress of the seas" was be-
ginning to wane. Hull was the hero
of the hour, especially since his vic
tory dispelled the gloom that had been
caused by the surrender of his uncle.

in Faneuil hall, Hull was voted a

the name Of Isaac Hull has come down
in American naval history along with
that of John Paul Jones as one Of our
greatest naval heroes. Thereafter the
Constitution was known as "Old Iron
Sides" and although she won other
victories none was more brilliant than
this one.

STORY FROM THE 5TART

Garth Guthrie, Canadian war
veteran, having to live in the

Bay post at Elkwan. He came

he realizes cost him the love of
his fiancee, Edith Falconer. Sir
Charles Guthrie, his brother, is a

At last as the bows of the American
ship drew alongside the enemy, Hull
shouted "Now, boys, pour it into
theml" Instantly Old Ironsides' for
ward guns, which had been double
Shotted with grape and roundshot,
poured forth terrific volley which
swept the Guerrero and bathed her
decks in the blood of her men.
But the men Of the Guerrero had
not been idle. The two ships were now
within half pistol shot of each other
and the Englishman's guns were
pounding the American vessel. But
for every blow that he dealt he re-
ceived two in return. Within fifteen
minutes the Guerriere's mizzen-mast
was shot away, her main yard was
in sings and her hull, spars, sails and
rigging were torn to pieces by the
hail of metal from the Constitution.
The Britisher brought up in the wind
as the mizzen-mast gave way and the
Constitution passed slowly ahead,
poured in a tremendous fire, Iuffed
short around the bows of the enemy
to prevent being raked, but fell foul
of the Guerrero, her bowsprit run
ming into the larboard quarter Of the
enemy ship. At this moment the cabin
of the Constitution was set on fire
by the forward guns of the English
man but the flames were put out
quickly.
As the two vessels lay locked for
moment, each side attempted to board
the other. Fierce volleys of musketry
amid the roar Of the big guns added
to the horror of the scene The Amer
leans who were attempting to board
the enemy were led by Lieutenant
Morris, Master Alwyn and Lieuten-
ant Bush of the Marines. Morris and
Alwyn were severely wounded and
Bush was shot down. Before the Amer
leans could accomplish their purpose,
the sails of the Constitution were
filed and she shot ahead and clear

rying with it the main-mast. leaving

Hull hauled off his vessel short
distance away, made hasty repairs
on the rigging of his ship and at
sunset bore down to a position which
would enable him to rake the Grip
pied Guerriere. But the Englishman
was through. A jack that had been
kept flying on the stump Of the miz-
zen-mast was lowered as a signal Of
surrender. Hull sent Lieut.. George
G. Read to board the prize. AS Read
stepped on deck and asked for the
commander, Dacres appeared. "Com-
modore Hull's compliments and he
wishes to know if you have struck
your fiag?" said Read. Dacres, calmly
looking over the wreckage that sur
rounded him, replied dryly, swell, I
don't know; our mizzen-mast Is gone,
our mainmast is gone, and, upon the
whole, you may say we have struck
our flag" Read then offered the SER
vices Of a surgeon or a surgeons
mate. "Well, should suppose you
had on board your own ship business

said Dacres. "Oh, no." replied Read.

they were dressed half an hour ago."

 "One was for s5. the other for s6. I never have learned what the other charges were, if any, but from what was said, think it was in connection with the sales of the stock. If the charge had been justified, I can't fig ure it out at all. The county attorney didn't take the case up, and I certain ly wasn't indicted"
 Approximately s5,OOO of his broth CTS life insurance, which he never has collected, with approximately S15,- 900 he expects to raise through his share of his fathers estate at Purcell, will be used by Ratliff to fight his case, and establish his claim in the mining company shares.
 To Settle Estate
 It is to settle the affairs of the Ok lahoma estate that Ratliff's attorneys will go to Purcell Friday and wihtin thirty days, they expect to accompany him to Alaska to investigate the mat ter from that end, according to Fred Hoyt.
 Ratliff has been into nearly all parts of Alaska, and is as conversantI with locations and names of towns and activities there as the average business man here is conversant with things in Oklahoma. He speaks of men in financial and social life in the United States whom he met and as- sociated with while they were in AL aska so summer tours. "Of course, I couldn't do that anywhere else," he said. Remember that Alaska is a big country, and the total population up there is only about 25,OOO. I got a chance to talk to President Harding when he was up there, but he wasn't interested because I was from the States"
 Put Up Grub Stakes
 Ratliff has ''grub staked" more than a dozen prospectors, he said, from the profits of his hotel and tailoring shop in connection with it, which catered to hte tourist trade.
 The claims involved in the mining deal have been proved, he said, and mentioned in United States govern ment reports. The lead runs under three hills, and has been tapped at both ends, and at points along the top of the hilI he said.
