Swoon Saves Submarine
Crew on Floor of Sea

LONDON.-T British Press as
ISOLATION reported this strange Incl
dent:
A British submarine lay disabled
on the ocean floor. After two days
hope of raising her was abandoned
The crew, on orders of the COM
handing officer, began singing
abide With Me-"
The officer explained to the men
that they did not have long to live
There was no hope of outside aid,
he said, because the surface search
ers did not know the vessels posi-
ton.
A sedative was distributed to the
men to quiet their nerves. One
sailor was affected more quickly
than the others and he swooned. He
fell heavily against piece of equip
ment and set in motion the SUBJ
marines damned surfacing mech
anism.
The submarine went to the sur
face and made port safely.
The Press association said it had
learned of the incident from a let
ter written by one of the crewmen
to a relative.
Official sources declined COM
ment.

Girls Kindness
Wins Her Estate
Former Employer Remem-
bers Early Assistance.

LIMA, OHIO.-Kindnesses shown
him by a former clerk during his
first days in Lima were remem-
bered by Charles Shannon, SO, local
confectioner and maker Of nos
trums, before he ended his life here
by taking poison.
Shannon had settled in Lima 20
years ago, stopping off here while
en- route from Virginia, where ne
had taken his wife for burial, and
liking the city so well he decided
to stay here. He heard of small
confectionery for sale, so he pur-
chased it, later branching out into
the making of "tar" syrups and
cure-an compounds.
One of his first clerks was Ruth
Primmer, who since had been mar
ried and had two children, to whom
Shannon became very attached.
Six weeks ago she received a let
ter from Shannon asking her to
bring the children to see him. When
a few days ago she received an
other letter saying, in part, 6. aft
er many years l am going out OF
business and inclosing the keys to
Shannon's small shop, she became
alarmed and informed police.
They visited the small shop and
there found Shannon's body on his
bed, an empty poison glass nearby.
Coroner Harry Lewis said death
was a suicide due to poisoning
In a penciled note found in the
bedroom, Shannon willed all his
earthly goods, including his small
store, to the little clerk who many
years ago had aided him in getting
his start here.

Pocahontas Had Tomboy
Character, SAYS Write-

Pocahontas really existed, al
though her name was either Mato-
aka or Matowaka. She was called
Pocahontas (sportive, playful be-
cause of her gay, tomboyish dispo-
sition. Born the daughter of the
American Indian chief, Powhatan.
about 1895, she was kidnapped in 1913
and taken to jamestown where she
was held as hostage for English pris-
oners in her fathers hands. Histo-
fians long have argued over the
Authenticity of the tale that she
saved the life of the captured John
Smith.
She was converted to Christianity
and baptized Rebeoca. In the spring
of 1914 she was married to Thomas
Role, who took her 10 England
where she was received as a prin-
cess. In 1917, as she was preparing
to return to this country, she died
: and was buried at Gravesend, Eng
land. She left one son, Thomas, who
later returned to Virginia.

Calculate Square Feet Area

In order to estimate the quantity
of paint needed for job, first cal
culate the area in square feet to be
covered by measuring the building
to be painted. When the area has
been calculated, divide this by the
spreading rate per gallon and the
result is the quantity of paint need
ed for the job. Spreading rates are
approximately as follows: Printing
coat $50 square feet per gallon; Sec
ond and third coats 700 to $50 square
feet per gallon; and old work being
painted 300 square feet per gallon
for each coat.

Win Band Title Without
Having to Blow a Note

LA GRANGE, GA.-After win
ming the state American Legion
drum and bugle corps competition
for seven consecutive times, the
LAGRANGE corps received the title
again this year without having to
blow note. Thet corps appeared
at the legion convention at Savan-
nah to defend their title, but due to
tire and gas shortages, there were
not enough musical organizations
present to furnish competition. So
the LAGRANGE corps pocketed the
$5OO prize money, took the first
place title, and went home.
