Tragic Account of
Brothers Drowning

Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Johnston re-
turned from Seattle Tuesday eve
ming, where they were called by the
death of Mr.. Johnston's brother,
who visited them and his father
here just five weeks ago. The
following is an account of the ac-
cident. r &s's@a.
Breast deep in brown flood wa
tiers woman knelt, grading the
head of her husband in her arms,
whispering to him as he drowned.
They had time to talk a little Of
the children before he died, and
then she had to leave him pinned
under the log which had come with
the floods over his drowned fielGs
leave him there, in the rain and
midland go back into the house
to sit alone all night, waiting for
the water to go down. :. 1870
That was the story of an amaz.
ing human drama, which chief
Deputy Coroner w. III. Corson brot
back from Carnation yesterday.
The man who drowned was George
George J.. Johnston, sixty-nine.
With his wife (the children are
grown up and gomez he lived on q
rented farm along the Tolt river,
two and a half miles southwest of
Carnation. The flood came. At noon
Thursday, he waded out to the barn
to feed the cattle. After while
his wife saw him start back to-
ward the kitchen door, where she
waited. A bent figure, he toiled
waist deep through the whirling
brown waters. He smiled and call
ed to her. And then a huge log
thrust up from an eddy, like sub
merged monster. He went down.
His head disappeared, Mrs. john
ston started toward the place he
had been. The water nearly swept
her from her footing. But she came
to the log at last and kneeling,
lifted her husbands head above
the water. His body was crushed
into the mud, under the log. She
refused to leave him though he beg
ged her to. For three hours and
a half she kept him above the wa
ter and presently, as the waters
rose, he was dead.
She crept back to the house and
all night she sat there, while the
rain whispered to her over the
floods. She was able to get thru
the waters to summon nelghbors
who found her husbands body, still
under the log. They notified the
children, William, Leslie anad John
of Seattle and Mrs. Augusta Shelf
on of Kirchan.

not like to read or who are too weak

Jigsaw puzzles still have their fans.
There also Is q steady demand for
German literature.
Library service was beun at the two
hospitals In Bismarck BY the public
library under the Civil Works Admin

CWA furnished two new book trucks,
made by local carpenters and pays
the hospital librarians salary: The

Circulation has risen. from 1909

The total from January - to Septem-

Periodically Miss Lit has sent out
to Bismarck residents through the
newspapers requests for recent num-
bers Of magazines, particularly travel
publications, jigsaw puzzles and books,
Including works in German. The
response has been . great help and
Miss Lit asks that It be continued.
The librarian visits the hospitals
three times q week and 1t each one
has q small room where the book
trucks are kept and where she can
do her clerical tasks. All calls upon
patients are made by the librarian,
who visits every patient who Is able
to read. Under this plan OF service,
efficiency Is high and losses are prac-
tically nothing. The authorities Of
both hospitals are enthusiastic about
the service and have given excellent
cooperation, according to Miss Lift.

Doctors urge a liquid laxative for
children. The child who has been
convalescing in a hospital, will
usually come out with bowels
working like a wcll-regulated
watch. Hospitals give children a
liquid laxative of suitable ingre-
dients, suitable strength. and in
suitable amount.
Children should never be given
the strong cathartics that are
meant for adult use.
So, avoid all use Of mineral
drugs, whether they are salts, pills.
tablets, or candy" form. Even
once a month is too often to give
any child a cathartic containing
powerful drugs.

Give that sluggish child a liquid
laxative containing SIENNA "a

Of Figs has the right amount for
children's use, and this rich, fruity
syrup does not upset them.
Just give any headachy, bilious
child a little of this gentle laxative

seem to be moving regularly and
thoroughly without need Of help.

FIFTY PATENTS
 EARN MILLIONS
Inventors Now B in g Given Regular Courses
 of Instruction

New York (UP)-Despite the depression, enormous fortunes arc being made by American patents. A recent survey shows that there are so patents in the United States earning $1,000,000 a, year, 300 patents earning $50O.OO0, and over i2,00O patents earning at least $10O,00O a year.
 Many of the inventions With high earning powers seem trivial. The sKiddie Kar," the collar but ton with turn down clip to hold ones tie, the barbed wire fence, and the cap for beer bottles have made their inventors millionaires. The United States patent office IS issuing new patents at the rate of about 1000 a week.
 Investigations. made by the h. ventors Foundation show that a great number of inventors fail to receive their proper share of prof. its from their inventions. One of the c0mmonest mistakes is for an inventor to try to procure a pat ent without previous experience. Many Inventors fail through their ignorance of the market for which they are inventing. Others make commercial use of a good idea be- fore protecting 1t by patent ap- plication, or they, get into trouble by manufacturing and selling som ething without first investigat- ing to see if it IS covered byia pat ent that is in force.
 Regular courses of instruction for inventors aren ow given under the direction of the Inventors Foundation. an institutions created for altruistic purposes to help Tn. ventors to make the most of theHt ideas and secure q fair return.

MODELS BITTER AT DEBUTANTES
Latter Are Chiseling in on Their JObs-Threaten
 to Retaliate

New York, Oct 26-OP)- What it takes to make a lady was explained at some length today by Miss Gertrude Mayer, leader of professional mannequins who are up in arms about debutantes "chiseling" in on their jobs. Miss Mayer, who is red-headed, ex- plained that no amount of Park avenue will make some danes into ladies'" She was aroused by the statement of Mrs Harold E. Tal- bolt, Jr, society leader, who said professional models merely "actel like ladies'" inferring that the req son the fashion show engaged debutantes was because they want ed real ladies.
 The amateurs had better get out of the modelling business or the professionals would take drastic action, such as stealing their boy friends, Miss Mayer said. Fifty mannequins, under her leadership petitioned shops and fashion shows to employ models of ability and not social background, asserting blue blooded debutantes and Junior leaguers were lowering professional standards.
 The girls agreed to picket the next big fashion show if the peti- ton failed, and that failing to in cade the social amateurs own
 realm in retaliation and grab theiI blue blooded boy friends.
 That would be last resort.
 Miss Mayer said. She said she had looked the debutantes over anj didn't think it would be difficult. A lot of society, girls walk Hike ducks" and are "humped-back,' 7 but aretaking 1000 jobs a year from professional models trained for the profession, she said.
