"How Ions shouM a car's whre

Thrrr. larked the e ver-jnesent fear in the native mind of another earthquake, for Arica seemed a sort of "head renter" for such seismic disturbances, having been twir.? b--f.-te destroyed, with reat loss of life. Wbile the anehornpe at Arica was an open roadstead of almost unlimited exUnt it was partly protected from tn- prevailing winds by Alacran island, sanall and ajiparently a lump of rock broken off from the Mnrro hy some prior convulsion. All the merchantmen were clustered rather closely under the lee of this island, near the Morro, maybe a quarter of a mile from the usual man-of-war anchorage, and about the same distance from tho shoreThe men-of-war anchored more abreast of the town and possibly half a mile distant. It was Autr. S that the awful calamity came upon us. like a storm from .a. cloudless sky, overwhelming us" all in one common ruin. Start el Jiv Shock. I was sitting in the cabin with our commanding officer, about 1 p. m. v.then we were startled by a violent trembling of the ship, similar to the effect produced by letting go the anchor. -Knowini? it could rot be that, we ran on deck. looking shoreward, our attention was instantly arrested by a rreat cloud of dust rapidly approaching from the southeast, while a terrjblo rumbling grew iri intensity, and bf fore our astonished eyes the hills seemed to nod, and the ground swayed like the short, choppy waves of a troubled pea. . ; The cloud enveloped Arica. Instantly through its impenetrable veil arosf cries for help, the crash of falling houses, and the thousand commingled noises of a great calamity, while the ship was shaken as if grasped by a giant hand; then th? cloud passed on. As the dust slowly settled we rubbed our eyes and looked again and again, believing they must be phiying us a trick; fop where but a few short moments bffore was a happy, prosperous city, busy with life and activity, wc beheld but a mass of shattered ruin, hardly a house left standing; not one perfect, the streets Mocked with dehrl. through which struggled fr.inticnlly tho least wounded of the unhappy wretches imprisoned In the ruins of their nm happy homes; while rroars. cri. and ?hiieks for help rent the air. Pn'iwrr.l Vor WoiM. H:ir prudent commander. however. fvo th.? necessary orders to prepare for the worst. Additional anchors were b t go. hatches battened down, guns secured, life lines rove fore and aft, and for a few moments all was tho orderly confusion of a well-disciplined man-of-

war preparing for action. Many

ound-bpttomel ships keeled

their beam ends, while the

! Wat'r-e rested easi v on her floor

like bottom; and when the returning sa. not like a wave, but rather an enormous tid, came sweeping b.ck, rolling o':r unfortunate companion ships over and over, leaving some bottom up and others masses of wreckage, the "Wateree" rose easily over the tossing waters, unharmed. I'r 'ii this moment the sea seemed to defy the laws of nature. Currents ran in contrary directions, and w. wore borne here and there with a speed we iould not have equal -d had we been steaming for our live. At irregular intervals the arthquake shocks recurred. but none of them so violent or long-continued as the first. .lh oke Warship's Hark. The Peruvian man-of-war "America," said to be the fastest ship in the worbi at that time, had hastily gotten up steam and attempted to g.t to sea. Phe was well out when ihe receding water left her partly afloat and hroke her back, of .inrse destroying her engines. With her funnels still vomiting black smoke and apparently under full command of her people, she hacked down toward the helpless "Frrdonia," which was then rapidly petting in toward the Morro, ns If Intending to help her. Lieut. Commander Pyer, com mandifig the "Fredonia," saw tho maneuver, and. thinking tho "America" was c aning to their aid, and that a nearer approach would only involve them both In destruction, ran on the oop and hailed the approaching ship, then hut a few yards distant: "America." ahoy! You can do nothing for us; our bottom Is crushed. Have yourselves. fJood-bye! Then "down to his station among his silent, unshrinking crew he ran again. The next moment the "Fredonia" was crushed, and of that irifated company not one was saved, while a counter-current catching the Peruvian ship drove her rapidly in another direction. Ab -ut K:r.O p. m- the lookout hail

the sky. Its crest, crowned with the death light of phosphorescent glow, showing the sullen masses of water below. Heralded by the thundering roar of a thousand breakers combined, the dreaded tidal wave was upon us at last. Of all the horrors of this dreadful time, this seemed the worst. Watched Monster Approach. Chained to the spot, helpless to escape, with all the preparations made which human skill ould suggest, we could but wntch the monster wave approach without the sustaining help of action. That the ship could ride through the masses of water about to overwhelm us seemed impossible. We could onlygrip the life-line and wait the coming catastrophe. "With a crash our gallant ship was overwhelmed nnd hurled deep beneath a semi-solid mass of sand and wnUr. For a breathless eternity we were submerged: then, groaning in every timber, the staunch old 'Wateree' struggled again to the surface, with her gasping crew still clinging to" the Iifeljm,sso'me few seriously wounded, bruised, and battered; none killed: not one even missing.

RED CROSS BODIES TO EXTEND HOME SERVICE

I5r Associated Pres : INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Aug. 16. In an effort to have each community in the state organized to meet its special welfare needs, lake division headquarters of the American Red Cross has authorized several Indiana communities fo extend their home service programs. Among thos'o recently added to the list is the Benton county chapter at Fowler, which has been authorized to uro funds for care of an Infantile paralysis case. Acting on applications for extension, from Hammond, Huntington and. Bluffton, Ind., officials have just completed surveys of those communities and will determine each chapter's needs. . Among other projects which chapters plan to add to their regular wark. are family work. Information service and community welfare work.

More than l.OOO.OAO persons in England are receiving unemployment pay from the government.

LONDON. Aug. 12. Ireland bids' fair to offer the government pecu-( liar difficulties during th coming! months because even tnose who side with the government, and against 5inn Fein, are outspoken in some of, their criticisms of methods of settle. ; ment or of alleged lack of methods1 The. Saturday Review draws a vivid picture of the passion of Irish-! men for politics which lias made; them a mighty force in the United; States, where they "lord It in a land!

as great as all Europe." "Nothing but absolute lndepenfl

ence is claimed today." says this; political review paraphrring the! Irish case in America, "and Amerl-; ca. the land of liberty, is with all i t

eloquence and craft, urged to aid the separatist surge even with millions of dollars, which are to be repaid seven years after the English evacuate Ireland." No Voioo for IlriUiin. "Mtanwhlle. tho British embassy in Connecticut av., Washington, remains empty. No authoritative

70U never hear a groan or a whimper of complaint n from this present day Chalmers. It does what you ask of it. It takes a command like a willing servant and responds like a thoroughhred. And it wears well; not only in its "inner works," but in a way that you never grow tired of. (So many persons want a new car every other year!) The more it runs, the gentler, the easier it seems to get over ground. You will find the underlying cause in Hot Spot and Rams-horn, two devices' which häve advanced Chalmers two years ahead of other cars in engineering. They "crack up" and condition the raw gas in a way that produces terrific power with pussy-like gentleness. You obtain a brand new sense of driving ease, and when you want to "let loose" in a quagmire road or on a tortuous hill vour Chalmers never says "No."

You'll find it to be, as so many others have discovered in recent , months, one of the few great cars of the world.
