NEW CRUISER HOUSTON GIVEN BAPTISM RITES Sea Warrior to Be Ready for Service by 1930, Navy Announces. Bv BcriDVt-Howard Xeicepaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept, 9.—The cruiser Houston, latest of the navy’s new warships to be christened and launched, will not be completed and ready for service until next year, navy officials said today. The Houston was sent down the ways during special ceremonies at Newport News Staurday. It cost more than $10,000,000, and is one of the nine-gun 10,000-ton type of ships which the government Ts building. The launching ceremonies were described by officials of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company as the most successful of any of the navy vessels. Promptly at noon the ship was released and slipped easily into the water, while airplanes hummed overhead, scattering roses, and the navy band played “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Houston, Tex., had made the occasion a memorable one by sending a special train of officials and citizens to attend. The Houston will be assigned to what Is known as the Atlantic, or scouting, fleet, and will have its base in one of the Atlantic ports', probably at Newport News. The ship’s officers are to be named and will supervise its completion. Champagne gave place to brackish water from the Houston ship channel for the christening ceremonies. So there might be no slip-up, two such bottles were decorated and prepared for the occasion. Although some have reported that the bottle failed to break when Miss Elizabet Holcombe of Houston smashed It against the ship’s side, this was denied later. It had broken, but was smashed again so that the crowd could see the water fly. For the bottle to fail to break is considered a bad omen. The occasion '•ost Houston In excess of $20,000, Ok whjch $15,000 is for purchasing and presenting to the cruiser a silver service set. Escape When Ship Sinks Bu T'nitrd Prr** COPENHAGEN. Sept. 9.—Forty passengers and the crew 1 of thirty of the steamer Heimdall were en route to Stockholm today after scaping when the ship struck rocks off the coast of Ostana. northeast of Stockholm, and sank shortly afterward. The seventy victims escaped in lifeboats.

RID OF RHEUMATISM AND BACK ACHE Had Fir* Years of Misery, But Finallv Found Road to Health. Anyone who is enduring the pains of rheumatism, backache, kidney weakness or stomach tortures, will be more than interested in reading the experience of Mr. C. T. Bowen, 629 Mulberry St., Rockford, 111. He writes: “Rheumatism made my life miserable for 5 years. The pains in my right leg and hip were so intense that I couldn't lie on my right side. I couldn't even lean back in a barber’s chair. In addition I had terrible back-ache and kirii ey pains, and my liver felt sore all the time. I had suffered for years with constipation and stomach trouble, and was always taking pills and laxatives without getting relief. Whenever I ate, gas would form and I would bloat and cramp so that I was afraid to eat. I rolled and tossed all night long, and got up more tired than when I went to bed. I was a mighty sick man when I read about Viuna and sent to the drifg store for a bottle. From the first few doses. I knew I had found the right medicine at last. Before I had finished the first bottle, I improved wonderfully. Now all my rheumatism has just about vanished. My back-ache is gone, my kidneys are strong and my liver working fine. Food tastes good and I am eating heartily and sleeping soundly, with no stomach distress and no constipation. Today I am a well man, working every day, and enjoying life which I never expected to do again.” Viuna has worked wonders in thousands of desperate cases of kidney trouble, back-ache, stomach trouble and rheumatism. It may be the making of you. Try one bottle under positive guaranty. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

CHAPTER XVII (Continued) ! It gives us goose-flesh, j “That would be good, Albert, what do you thinkT’ He nods. “Y have white trousers at home, too.” “White trousers,” says I, “but a girl like that—” We look askance at one another. There’s not much to boast of here —two ragged, stained, and dirty uniforms. It is hopeless to compete. So we proceed to tear the young man with the white trousers off 'the boarding, taking care not to damage the girl. That is something | toward it. j “We could go and get deloused, anyway,” Kropp then suggests. I am not very enthusiastic, bei cause it doesn’t do one’s clothes any good and a man is lousy again in- : side two hours. But when we have sonsidered the picture once more, I declare myself willing; I go even farther. “We might see if we could get a clean shirt as well—” “Socks might be better,” says Albert, not without reason. “Yes, socks, too, perhaps. Let’s go and explore a bit.” Then Leer and Tjaden stroll up; they look at the poster and immediately the conversation becomes smutty. Leer was the first of our class to non wild, and he gave stirring details of it. After his fashion he enjoys himself over the picture, and Tjaden supports him nobly. It does not distress us exactly. Who isn’t smutty is no soldier; it merely does not suit us at the moment, so we edge away and march off to the delousing station with the same feeling as if it were a swell gentlemen’s outfitters.

I am called to the orderly room. The company commander gives me a leave-pass and a travel-pass and wishes me a good journey. I look to see how much leave I have got. Seventeen days—fourteen days leave and three days for travelling. It is not enough and I ask whether I can not have five days for travelling. Bertinck points to my pass. There I see that I am not to return to the front immediately. After my leave I have to report for a course of training to a camp on the moors. The others congratulate me. Kat gives me good advice, and tells me I ought to try and get a base-job. “If you are smart, you’ll hang on to it.” I would -rather not have gone for another eight days; we are to stay here that much longer and it is good here. Naturally I have to stand the others drinks at the canteen.. We are all a little bit drunk. I become gloomy; I will be away for six weeks. That is lucky of course, but what may happen before I get back? Shall I meet all these fellows again? Already Haie has gone —who will the next be? As we drink, I look at each of them in turn. Albert sits beside me and smokes, he is silent, we have always been together; opposite squats Kat. with his drooping shoulders, his broad thumb, and the calm voice; Muller with the protruding teeth and the booming laugh; Tjaden with his mousy eyes; Leer, who has grown a full beard and looks at least 40. Over us hangs a’ dense cloud of smoke. Where would a soldier be without tobacco? The canteen is his refuge, and beer is far more than a

drink, it is a token that a man can move his limbs and stretch in safety. We do it ceremonially, we stretch our legs out in front of us and spit deliberately, that is the only way. How it all rises up before a man when he is going away the next morning! Next morning, after I have been deloused, I go to the rail head, Albert and Kat come with me. At the halt we learn that it will be a couple of hours yet before the train leaves. The other two have to go back to duty. We take leave of one another. “Good luck, Kat; good luck, Albert.” They go off and wave once of twice. Their figures dwindle. I know their every step and movement; I would recognize them at any distance. Then they disappear. I sit down on my pack and wait. Suddenly I become filled with a consuming impatience to be gone. nun I lie down on many a station platform; I stand before many a soup-kitchen! t squat on many a bench; then at last the landscape becomes gloomy, mysterious, and familiar. It glides past the western windows with its villages, their thatched roofs like caps, pulled over the whitewashed, half-timbered houses, its cornfields, gleaming like mother-of-pearl in the slanting light, its orchards, its barns and old lime trees. The names of the stations begin to take on meaning and my heart trembles. The train stamps and stamps onward, I stand at the window and hold on to the frame. These names mark the boundaries of my youth. Smooth meadows, fields, farmyards a solitary team moves against the sky-line along the road that runs parallel to the horizon—a barrier; before which peasants stand waiting, girls waving, children playing on the embankment, roads leading into the country, smooth roads without artillery. It is evening, and if the train did not rattle I should cry out. The plain unfolds itself. In the distance, the soft, blue silhouette of the mountain ranges begins to appear. I recognize the characteristic outline of the Dolbenberg, a jagged comb, springing up precipitously from the limit of the forest. Behind it should >*e the town. But now the sun streams through the world, dissolving everything in its golden-red light, the train swings round one curve and then another —far away, in a long line one behind the other, stand the polars, unsubstantial, swaying and dark, fashioned out of shadow, light and desire. The field swings round as the train encircles it, and the intervals between the trees diminish* the trees become a block and for a moment I see one only—then they reappear from behind the foremost

tree and stand out a long line against the sky until they are hidden by the first houses. A street crossing. I stand at the window, I can not drag myself away. The others put their baggage ready for getting out. I repeat to myself the name of the street that we cross over—Bremerstrasse — Bremerstrasse — Below there are cyclists, lorries, men; it is a gray street and a gray subway; it embraces me as though it were my mother. Then the train stops, and there is the station with noise and cries and sentries. I pick up my pack and fasten the straps, I take my rifle in my hand and stumble down the steps. On the platform I look round; I know no one among the people hurrying to and fro. A Red Cross sister offers me something to drink. I turn away, she smiles at me too foolishly, so obsessed with her own importance: “Just look, I am giving a soldier coffee!” • She calls me “Comrade,” but I will have none of it. Outside in front of the station the stream roars alongside the street, it rushes foaming from the sluices of the mill bridge. There stands an old, square watch tower, in front of it the great mottled lime tree and behind it the evening. Here we have often sat how long ago it is we have passed over this bridge and breathed the cool, acid smell of the stagnant water; we have leaned over the still water on this side of the lock, where the green creepers and weeds hang from the piles of the bridge; and on hot days we rejoiced in the spouting foam on the other side of the lock and told tales about our school teachers. CHAPTER XVIII I PASS over the bridge. I look right and left; the water is as full of weeds as ever, and it still shoots over in gleaming arches; in the tower-building laundresses still stand with bare arms as they used to over the clean linen, and the heat from the ironing pours out through the open windows. Dogs trot along the narrow street, before the doors of the houses people stand and follow me with their gaze as I pass by, dirty and heavy laden. In this confectioners we used to eat ices, and there we learned to smoke cigarets. Walking down the street I know every shop, the colonial warehouses, the chemist’s, the tobacconist’s. Then at last I stand before the brown door with its worn latch and my hand grows heavy. I open the door and a wonderful freshness comes out to meet me, my eyes are dim. The stairs creak under my boots. Upstairs a door rattles, someone is looking over the railing. It is the kitchen door that was opened, they are cooking potato-cakes, the house reeks of it, and today of course is Saturday; that will be my sister

leaning over. For a moment I am shy and lower my head, then I take off my helmet and look up. Yes. its is my eldest sister. “Paul,” she cries, “Paul—” I nod, my pack bumps against the banisters; my rifle is heavy. She pulls a door open and calls: "Mother, Mother, Paul is here.” I can go no further—mother, mother, Paul is here. I lean against the wall and grip my helmet and rifle. I hold them as tight as I can, but I can not take another step, the staircase fades before my eyes, I support myself with the butt of my rifle against my feet and clench my teeth fiercely, but I can not speak a word, my sister’s call has made me powerless. I can do nothing, I struggle to

To the housewives of this community who believe in furnishing their homes in keeping with the times WATCH THIS PAPER for an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT For 20 years there has been no improvement in gas range design. The lop-sided gas range of today was built to meet living requirements of nearly a quarter of a century ago. In the meantime, practically everything in the home has been changed. The lines of furniture are different—what were luxuries have become necessities. Only the gas range has failed to keep pace with the times. Now, The Independent Stove Company of Owosso, Michigan, makers of the famous RENOWN line of ranges, have developed a gas range that is entirely new in design, new in beauty and with conveniences that recognize the changed living conditions. Wait for the New RENOWN Gas Range We have secured the exclusive franchise for this wonderful new range. Watch the papers for announcement of our first showing. And whatever you do, don’t buy a gas range ’till you have seen this new RENOWN! ! Citizens Ga Cos. 45 South Pennsylvania

make myself laugh, to speak, but no word comes, and so I stand on the steps, miserable helpless, paralyzed and against my will the tears run down my cheeks. My sister comes back and says: “Why, what is the matter?” Then I pull myself together and stagger on to the landing, I lean my rifle in a corner, I set my pack against the wall, place my helmet on it, and fling down my equipment and baggage. Then I say fiercely: “Bring me a handkerchief." She gives me one from the cupboard and I dry my face. Above me on the wall hangs the glass case with the colored butterflies that once I collected. Now I hear my mother’s voice. It comes from the bedroom.

“Is she in bed?” I ask my sister. “She is ill—” she replies. I go in to her. give her my hand and say as calmly as I can: “Here I am, mother.” She lies still In the dim light. Then she asks anxiously: "Are you wounded?” and I feel her searching glance. “No, I have got leave.” , My mother is very pale, I am afraid to make a light.
