Ham

To dress up that slice of plain
ham, follow the suggestion of male
amateur chef we know:
Put IL pound slice of ham in a
baking dish. Mix together table
spoons of prepared mustard, table
spoons flour and tablespoons mo-
lasses. Spread this tenderly over the
slice of ham and sprinkle with
raisins and cloves. Mix a cup of
milk and u cup of cream and pour
over the works. Bake in preheated
moderate oven for ! hour. Serve
with the pan juices.

the clothes on the line.
especially like the suds return
feature as it saves plenty of soap
and hot water, for the water is only
slightly soiled after running sheets

use this soapy water for the

mems handkerchiefs. I add u cup
of bleach and run washer 10 min
utes, then let it rinse three spray
rinses and one deep rinse. I lift
the automatic control then and do
not finish the entire rinsing and
damp-drying process (this saves
time, for this washer has seven
rinses, three spray, one deep, three
spray, in the order named). Then
it damp-dries.
Then I add fresh hot water, soap
powder and u cup borax or COM
mercial water softener, as Washing
ton water is very hard, and wash
another 10 or Is minutes. I save
the suds and in the next tub wash
the house dresses, mems shirts, pa
jamas, ETC.; then in the last tub I
wash one or two chenille or shag
bathroom rugs. In washing the
bath towels twice they come out nice
and fluffy. The commercial laun-
dries have f1uffing machines. One
should not let the towels become too
soiled, as 1t is easier to wash dozen
slightly soiled articles than half a
dozen badly soiled ones.
If something should happen to my
washing machine, would buy the
same kind again; that Is how well
pleased am with it.

Paratus proceeded to muscle in on
the painstaking work already done
by the original salvors. A fight en-
sued. Calloused fists cracked
against bearded jaws. Eventually
the fight landed in Admiralty
Court where it was decided that
the original salvors had estab-
lished possession of the hulk.
When a ship is in distress
and the captain cries, ''All
hands to pumps!' a fright
ened passenger would rarely
think of salvage. But aboard
the Great Eastern, one of the first
and most famous of steamships, a
passenger did just that. Steaming
across the North Atlantic in 1864,
the Great Eastern broke her steer
ing apparatus and wallowed help
lessly in heavy seas.
A Yankee 10 the Rescue
lo THE rescue came an American
passenger named Powle. Wasting
no time, he rigged up new steer
ing device which saved the ship
from the sea. Passengers. and crew
rushed to shake his hand - Powle
was the hero of the hour. But he
was more than that. He was a
shrewd Yankee who, on disem-
barking in New York, hurried to
proctor, sued the owners and COL
lected SIS, 900 salvage!
In old England a royal decree
awarded all salvage to the King.
The King later reduced his claims
considerably, retained his sover-
eign right to two strange items:
stranded whales and surgeons.
This odd provision of Admi-
ralty Law has even come into play
in American history.

A few minutes later Captain
Petersen of the Marie Maersk
cut the towline. The Eastern Glen
kept on in the direction of Boston,
the crippled tanker dropped far
astern. The fair weather held and
several days later tug showed up
and took the tanker in tow. The
battle of the radiograms had
ended.
Another Battle Starts
Bur the battle in Admiralty
Court was just beginning. Proc
tors for the Eastern Glen went to
work. (Proctor" is the Admi-
ralty term for lawyers.) Salvage
was claimed. The case was decid-
ed by Judge John G. Knox in the
U. S. District Court.
Said the judge: THE minds of
the parties involved never met
upon several essentials necessary
to a binding agreement. But the
tanker Marie Mae7sk was in great
distress. when the Eastern Glen
came to the rescue. The service
rendered by the Eastern Glen was
meritorious." And in the judges
opinion this salvage service was
worth $7,533. His Honor then
penalized the Eastern Glen $533
for not casting off when requested.
Everything considered. Captain
Holmgen had wasted neither his
time nor his breath.
Not Many Prizes
SALVAGE is a romantic and mys-
terious word on the water front.
1t is a whispered word as far as
treasure on sunken ships is con-
cerned. To salvors, most of the
ships sunk during the war carried
uninteresting cargo - food, fuel
and arms, not gold. Many ships
sank in waters too deep for divers.
This leaves a very small number
of accessible prizes IN this treasure
hunt, and salvors don't like to give
away clues.
Some years ago, two salvage
expeditions clashed over a
sunken ship with gold in it's
strong room at the bottom of
the North Sea. The first expedi-
ton located the hulk after a long
search and dropped divers. The
divers groped through sea grass,
brushed past slithering fish and
cut into the side of the ship.

River in Oregon and trapped itself
in shallow water. A crowd gath
cred. One man produced a rifle,
shot and killed the mammal, Or
ganized the dissection and profted
from the proceeds. Much to his
amazement, the State of Oregon
brought suit against him, basing
its plea on the States sovereign
rights over whales and surgeons.
Furthermore, the state won.
Death on the high seas means
work for proctors, but it does not
inevitably result in large payments
to relatives of victims. In 1893,
Congress passed a law called the
Harter Act under which ship
owners could not be sued for errors
of the master and crew if proper
care had been taken to make the,
ship seaworthy. The Harter Act
was in force when the Titanic COL
lided with an iceberg in 1912 and
sank with a loss of 1,5l7 lives.
Under the Harter Act, the
Titanic was ''seaworthy and
its owners were not responsible
for the collision with the ice
berg. Proctors for the relatives of
drowned passengers sued in vain.
Nor did the victims families fare
much better in the case of the
Moro Castle. which became a
charred morgue off the New Jer-
set coast in 1884. 1t was after this
tragedy that the law was amended
in favor of potential victims.
The Law T. Changed
UNDER the amendment, claims
could be pressed for as much as
$50 per gross ton. For example,
if a passenger lost his life in a dis
aster at sea aboard a 5,OOO-ton
ship, a proctor for the victims
family could sue the shipowner
for 60 times 5000 or $500, 900.
The American skipper who re-
Gently accused the Dutch of pi-
racy was barking back to the days
when pirates of the China Bar
barry coasts got away, literally,
with murder. If they were appre-
hended, a letter of marque came in
handy. Under Admiralty Law, a
letter of marque gives the master
of a ship authority to command a
privateer - in other words, to en-
gage in legalized piracy against
enemy vessels in wartime.
For example, King William III
of England gave a letter Of marque
