terrific storms ever encountered of the

dered off Lands End with loss Of IS
lives and the British steamer Radyr was
believed to have foundered with all
hands.
Guardsmen Unable to Aid.
Coast Guardsmen on shore saw the
Radyr battle with the gale and then
settle down and disappear without help
at hand. A second SOS said that the
crew were taking to the boats. but
nothing was seen after the ship disap-
peared. Messages were sent to nearby
steamers to pick up the survivors, but
live in the tempestuous seas.
As the day wore on the list of vessels
in distress continued to grow until there
were at least score reported in dan
gerous straits Many of the ships were
British, but the list included Nor
wcgian, Dutch. Hungarian, Spanish,
French and italian vessels

the storm-swept seas to England, where
the pictures are to be put on exhibit

Each day the ship has been sending a
wireless message on her progress and at
8 o'clock last evening reported she had
passed Gibraltar, making good speed.
Up to midday today her usual daily
message had not been received by the
exhibition managers and 1t was awaited

er and the precious nature of the ships

Liverpool Port Tied-up.
Tempestuous conditions prevailed at
Liverpool, where the gale was so strong
that liners were unable to reach the
landing stage or leave the river. The

sengers and American mails were being
taken to her by tender.
Hurricane Rakes Island.
Scilly Island reported a wind velocity
of 103 miles an hour, while 80 and 80
mile velocities in other parts of England
were common.
Throughout the night the gale tore
through London. smashing windows and

Crowds leaving the theaters last night
were surprised at the violence of the
blast, which at that time was accom-
panied by spectacular electric display
and torrential downpour.

ed but in addition they help to pep
one up and to prepare one for the
days grind. Here are some simple,
quickly prepared breakfast dishes
which can be served with the least
possible effort and time. They are
prepared and recommended by nu-
triton experts and are worthy of a
trial.
Soft-cooked eggs-Place the eggs
in a saucepan and carefully pour
boiling water over them. Cover, and
place where they will not boil. Let
stand from to minutes, depend
ing upon the softness desired. For
hard-cooked eggs, let them stand
from 20 to 80 minutes. They sure
do taste like more.
Scrambled eggs-Five eggs, 5
tablespoons milk, tablespoons but
ter, salt and pepper to taste. Place
butter in the top part of the double
boiler to melt. Beat eggs slightly,
add the milk, salt and pepper. Pour

EARLY SPRING FASHIONS
SUMMED UP IN 100 WORDS

The early spring fashions are
summed up "for the ordinary wom-
an" in 100 words by Jane Warren
Wells of Farm and Fireside Maga-
zine. She says:
Color emphasis on blue and black.
Sports materials increasingly pop
ular.
Woven designs in silk take pre-
cedence over printed designs, and
silhouettes will be tailored and sim
pie.
The best fabrics are made of fine
yarn, no matter whether material is
silk, wool, cotton or linen. Materials
are all a little finer in type, more
closely woven, and lighter in weight
than before.
Considerable stitching is used to
decorate plain fabrics. Buttons and
buttonholes, as well as pockets, are
seen. V-necks and tie bows finish
most dresses. Pleats are used in all
fabrics. Belts fasten in the center
front and are tighter
