1 ory of the dead.
 Stories will be told of the gall lant death of Major Archibald Butts, aide to President Taft, and of Mrs Isidor Straus' deliberate choice to remain in death as in life by the side of her husband. One of the survivors of the tragedy, Edith L. Russell, speaking in New York city recalled as one of her sharpest impressions the mournful, incessant hboting of the Carpathia's foghorn as it took the survivors into New York. She told how J. Bruce Ismay, then managing director of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine, saved her life by securing her place in lifeboat.
 "He saved my life" Miss Russell said. Even when women were being placed in the Boats many people aboard did not believe the liner could actually be in danger of sinking. It seemed unbelievable. Only few minutes before, when the iceberg brushed by, we had picked splinters of ice off the deck as an amusing incident of the voy- age. When the order came to put on lifebelts, people joked about the style of them.
 "I know that many did not be- lieve the boat would sink-not even when we were in the boats. Suddenly we saw the stern go straight up in the air. All the lights were blazing. The stern stood up above us like one of New York's , ,skyscrapers with all the windows lighted up in the evening. Then it went straight down and disap- peared."
 The Titanic was S821s feet long and 175 feet from the keel to the tops of its tunnels. Its speed on the inaugural dash across the ocean was a fraction greater than 22 knots.
 Because of the Titantic disaster, enough lifeboats are required today on every line for every person aboard.
 The loss of life in the Titantic tragedy exceeded both the Lusi- tania and Eastland disasters. When the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine in 1915, 1,198 lives were lost The Eastland turn ed turtle at it's pier in Chicago in 1915 with SIP casualties.
 Wartime casualties dealt to bel ligerents have accounted for great CT loss of life than these. Of 4,00O aboard the French cruiser Prov ence, sunk in the Mediterranean in 1916, only about 800 were saved. A Chinese transport was blown up on the Yangtse, at Kiukiang, China. in 1926, with loss of 1,200.

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with CreAmulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is PLEASANT to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed
membranes and inhibito germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosotc, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment Of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms Of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system

it was pointed out Monday by Mer-

He cited three bills making this

mote self-amortizing public works to
be financed at the low rate of
per cent through the Federal Re-

Two are senate bills and one was
introduced in the house and awaits
senate action.
The house bill provides a new
method for financing sewage dis

bonds sales and makes the project
Self-liquidating by direct levy for
sewage disposal on a monthly basis
the same as water rent.
Similar provision is made for mu-

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Bernice
Petkere, a young woman from Chi
cago, was sitting at a table in a
very loud night club one morning
about six months ago, and she got
tired Of the music. 1t left her cold.
So she borrowed pencil from
her husband and wrote a song on
the clean side of the menu. Then
she hummed tune to go with the
words.
She called the song Starlight. 1"
1t was the first song she had ever
written. Her husband thought it
sounded pretty good, nothing extra,
but better than the music in the
night club.
Gets $1,000 Check
That afternoon she took the song
around to Sanity Brothers, the
AAiNoAN PhblAoA4CAo, dllO WIlcIl llley
heard it one of the brothers wrote
her out an advance check of $1,000.
The song became a hit. For two
weeks 1t was played more often on
radio programs than any other pop
ular song ever written.
The two major broadcasting COM
panies were forced to restrict the
number of times it could be played
in their stations. The young wom-
an was beWildered.

big way.

She wrote three more songs. And
today Irving Berlin called her "the
most talented song writer of the
present era"
I've been playing the piano all
my life," said Miss Petkere today.

a song until I heard that jazz in the

could do better than that.
