There are two "old age" human
interest stories in the days news
almost side by side. One concerns
Mrs. Pima Preiskai Of Passaic. N. J.

believing that somewhere her son,
Robert, who was in the World War,
survived her.
Then years ago a war department
telegram came, announcing Roberts
death. Mrs. Preiskai's other children
kept the telegram from her. and
throughout the ten years have kept
up the deception that Robert lived.
They took turns initiating his hand
writing. sent letters to France to be
remailed from there, and peace was
kept in the mothers heart.

PETER NEEDED QUIET
Here's the other "old age" story.
Peter Fitzpatrick. 63, father OF nine
children, had had 81 years of matri-
mony. The nine children. all sons.
were grown and able bodied. Five
were married. Peter did not feel that
his support for them was any longer
necessary. He left home. He got a
$12.50-a-week job in a deaf and dumb
infirmary. He liked it. It was quieter
than matrimony with nine sons.
But Peter was hailed into court the
other day on q wife abandonment

that the four unmarried sons were
amply able to care for their mother.

The judge sent Peter back to his
nice quiet deaf and dumb asylum, but
suggested that he pay his wife $3.50
Of his $3.50 4 week. in order to re-
lieve the strapping sons.

TOO FREQUENT A TALE
oh, probably too much pity
shouldn't be wasted on Peter. After
all, when man creates nine sons he
lets himself in for things that he
should recognize. But even so, the
spectacle Of grown and able bodied
children taking as q matter Of course

never assuming that they owe sup

CNEof the Outstanding features Of the new
Ford is its mechanical, internal.expanding
six-brake system.
Thisis unusually reliable and eFectivein in
action because thebraking surfaces ofaIl six
brakes are fully enclosed. There is no pos
sibiIiy Of mud, water, sand, road dirt or
grease entering the brake mechanism or

PROBE RESUMED
IN SAN JUAN
SHIP DISASTER
Inspectors Take Testimony
From Officers of CoIIid-
ing Craft.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. g.
Federal steamboat inspectors today
resumed investigation into the sink
ing of the San Juan, which went
down of the central California
coast last week with loss of seven
ty-three persons.
That the investigation will be
concerned more with the testimony
Of surviving officers Of the San
Juan, and officers Of the S. G. T.
Dodd. which collided with it, was
intimated.
Captain Frank Turner, steamboat
Inspector, said officers Of the two
ships would be summoned to testify,
but that surviving passengers Of the
San Juan would not be called this
week. Any passenger desiring to
file charges or believing he knows
anything of importance may make {
statement, Captain Turner said.
Ship Veered Suddenly
Officers of the Dodd who testified
Saturday, say the Dodd endeavored
to avoid the San Juan when it sighted
it a dozen miles of the coast just
south of here at midnight last
Thursday. The San Juan veered
suddenly and brought on the smash
which sent it to the bottom in five
minutes, the Dodd officers said.
It is expected that the testimony
Of the Dodd crew will be refuted by
the surviving officers Of the San
Juan.
Captain Turner also said he did
not think charges Of cowardice by
crew members Of the San Juan were
supported by facts.
Passed All Inspections
Nothing could have been done,
as the vessel sank in five minutes, )"
Turner declared.
Despite its age, Al years, the San
Juan had passed all inspections, ac-
cording to Turner, who pointed out
that the Titanic, new vessel, went
down when hit.
Search for bodies in the vicinity
Of Pigeon Point, where the ships
collided, continued today. So far
two bodies have been recovered.
