MARINERS SAVED
 OFF DESERT ISLE
42 Rescued From Robinson
 CrusOe Existence

| Cape Town, South Africa, July o1 tPe-The little scaling steamer Xiii 1 dalkey has returned here with 42 persons rescued from Robinson Crusoe" existence on the bleak anu barren island of kerguelen, on the chill fringe of the Antarctic.
 The salvaged group. which in cludes two women and one child. is the crew of the wrecked sealer Lozere, and was marooned for three weeks.
 The Lozere, French steamer, bulging with the oil which weeks of ocean hunting had gained it, was prepared to return to Havre when it struck a submerged rock off kerguelen and broke its back. Broadcasting a call of distress, the captain got his crew to shore and awaited relief.
 Owners of the kildalkey at Cape Town, hearing the distant call for help, hastily provisioned their ship and sent it across the wild wastes of the South Indian ocean to the inhospitable island. Mountainous waves hammered the little 30O-ton kildalkey. It's chief engineer was killed when the seas violence hurl- ed him down a coal bunker.
 Meanwhile the company from the French steamer occupied two huts which previous squatters had built on the island and eked out their ships stores with sca-fowl and such vegetation as they found. kerguelen is 1,40o square miles in area. but is largely mass Of bare peaks thrusting up out of the sea, the highest being 6.120 feet.
 On the volcanic rocks the forag- ing marooners found patches of tough grass, coarse ferns and lichens. of little use for food, but they encountered one plant which proved boon in their distress. This was the Hand cabbage" pc culiar to kerguelen. much like the common cabbage. but yielding an essential oil which proved to be wholesome and sustaining food for that cold. damp climate.
 One bit of tragedy marked their unwilling stay. Three men seek ing seals for eating were overtaken by blizzard. One of the trio drop ped on the bleak slopes and was frozen to death.
 The ''1sle of Desolation" has had infrequent visits from man since its discovery by a French explorer in 177e. Captain James Cook, the celebrated English discoverer. rest ed his sea legs there in 1776. Oc- casiopally it has been used by seal ing and whaling-ship enterprises. In late 1874 and early 1875 it was invaded by expeditions of astrono- mers from the United States, Eng land and Germany for observation of the transit of Venus across the face of the sun.

U. 5. GROWS DESPITE. BAR ON IMMIGRANT.
Connecticut Continues to Show
 Healthy Increase

The growth of the United States has not been visibly affected by the curtailment of immigration, if one is inclined to believe figures. So far, since immigration quotas went into
 effect. the country has shown a nor nal expansion as compared with other periods prior to the immigra- tion quota law.
 Continental United States has shown an increase of q little less than 14,000.oo0 since the last official census in 1920, or about the same amount of increase for a period of seven years as compared with q little over If million in the period between 1910 and 1920.
 The argument that the World War which came in that period. stopped immigration, has little bearing as figures show that in the five years preceding the waI period over five million immigrants landed on these shores as compared with approXi- mately four million for the period since 1920. The present increase therefore, represents natural growth.
 The greatest increase in popula- tion during period of 10 years is represented in the years 1900-1910 when the population of the country increased by over 1G millions, but half of that amount was composed of immigrants. The greatest per centage of increase in population, however. is shown in the period be- tween 1890 and 1910, when the pop ulation went up by 3G4 per cent as compared with 12.9 in the period 191O-20, which he represents the smallest increase.
 Connecticut Increase Large
 Although the east and particularly the New England and Middle Atlan- tic states represent 30 per cent of the total population of the country. they do not by any means represent he greatest amount of increase in he past seven years. In this re- spect the western and mid-western states outrank their eastern sist CTS The greatest percentag of increase in population is held by the sum baked state of Arizona. which shows en increase of 63.1 per cent over the last census period. Next comes l Montana with 45.6 per cent in- crease: then California with 44.1; | Idaho with 326 as compared with | 13.S for New York; 13.S for Penn | Dylvania and IA for Massac chusetts. 1

TREATING SNAKE BITES ESSENTIAL
Dangerous Not to Take Care
 Of Them

Washington, July 21 R-While
 recent experiments in the removal of snake venom by suction with a rubber bulb and inverted glass de-
 vice have been successful, this treatment is not yet generally available. A snake bite is usually
 on the lower part of the limb and a band made of q handkerchief, Eecktie or similar article should be instantly applied and tightly twist ed with a stick to shut off the cir culation and to keep the poison
 from being carried into the system.
 The wound should be incised
 with a knife and then sucked. The
 wound next should be cauterized.
 This is done by applying carbolic
 acid or nitric acid on the end of a small stick. When such chem-
 icals cannot be obtained, cauter- lzation may be performed by heat ing nail, knife blade or other metallic object in fire and freely burning all parts of the wound.
 After the wound has been cau- terized so as to destroy as much of the poison as possible, the tour niquet may be loosened When one minute elapses it should be tight ened up again. After % minutes if no alarming symptoms develop, it is again released, this time for two minutes and again frightened. Another 20 minutes is allowed to elapse and the tourniauet is left off for three minutes. This procedure is continued for several hours, gradually increasing the time the tourniquet is off, the purpose being to allow only small quantities of the poison to enter the system at one time.
 If in spite of the local treatment, general symptoms develop. the pa tient must be given stimulants. It IS commonly believed that large doses of whiskey or alcohol in some form should be administered. This is mistake. as large dose will do harm by adding another depressant to that which is already in the sys- tenn. Instead of whiskey it is bet ter to give aromatic spirits of am- one-half teaspoonful in Wa ter every hour and half cupful of very strong coffee every two hours.
