UNHURT BY LONG IMMERSION Articles Salvaged From Sunken Ships Found to Be Practically Unharmed by Action of Water. Capt. Reginald Humphreys of the British navy in speaking of the action of the sea on vessels and merchandise says: , “Wooden ships, after being sunk, are rapidly covered with a marine growth which forms a sort of lime deposit and preserves the wood in some cases for several centuries. We are informed by one of the underwriters of New York who had charge of the salvage operation on the Oregon that bicycles were brought up from her hold that had been in the water over four months and yet looked as bright as when they went down; also silks the outer folds of which only were injured.” Some wines that had been recovered from a vessel sunk about fifty years brought $75 a bottle at auction. Gold and some other metaK glass and precious stones are never affected. A new avenue of wealth is opened to the world by means of the salvaging submarine.

COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE Hostess Saw Reason for. Thankfulness in View Set Forth by Her Young Visitor. Out on the east side the other afternoon a group of women were having a porch party. Now, all except one were married, and the married ones constantly talked to the one young spinster on the subject of getting married. They even went so far as to suggest some candidate sos her hand. And of one the young woman said. “Oh, he wouldn’t do. He’s been married,, and I’ve not yet reached that stage where I have to take a widower.” Absolute silence followed that remark. With a wild start the girl realized that three of the women present, including the hostess, were second wives. She was just beginning to reach the most painful stage of embarrassment, when the hostess laughed easily, and tried to utter a remark that would put everybody at ease. “Thank goodness you haven’t," she said. “Otherwise you might be in my shoes and I in yours.”—lndianapolis News. The Difference. Jimson had heard news about Jonson that pained and grieved him. When he met Jonson he demanded: “What’s this I hear about you and your wife having trouble? Before you were married you told me you would go to the ends of the earth together.” “Yes,” said Jonson, and there was a great weariness in his voice; “but I didn’t know she wanted to go there in a taxi.” —Boston Post.

FIGHTS 111 SENATE NEVER OCCUR NOW LANGUAGE IN DEBATE ALSO IS MORE RESTRAINED THAN IN THE OLDEN DAYS. SCRAPS BEFORE CIVIL WAR Then and During the Years of Reconstruction, Discussions Were Acrimonious and Personalities Were Com-mon-House, Too, Behaves Better. By EDWARD B. CLARK.,, Washington.—The senate of the United States is not an altogether amiable place these days, but if the people are surprised at the occasional sharp personalities which are exchanged, let them think for a moment how much better things are today than they were in the past when there was little or no check on the tongue, and on more than occasion no check on the fist. In sixteen years' service in the press gallery there has come to my knowledge only one physical encounter on the floor of the senate, and as that was in executive session and no one would talk about it. the affair is shrouded in obscurity to this day so far as the actual facts are concerned. About eighteen years ago two senators, members of the same party, representing the same state, exchanged a blow or two. Both parties to the altercation and a fist battle of a moment are now dead. Both, however, lived to regret the circumstances. Today while the League of Nations is under discussion there are things said which senators are sorry afterward that they did say, but there has been nothing of the kind which tn former years Was the generally accepted thing. In Days Before the Civil War. If one wants to read about personalities, the lie direct, and abuse generally, let him pick up some of the histories of senate proceedings prior to the days of the war between the states. Some of the debates between Sumner of Massachusetts, Mason of Virginia, Butler of South Carolina in the old days when read will make people understand how a parliamentary debate has improved in manners with the passing of the years. Even after the Civil war when men seemingly had had enough of acrimony there were some highly exciting verbal on the floor of the senate. Men dealt, even as late as the seventies, in personalities, sometimes of a cruel kind, even taking advantage sometimes of an adversary’s physical peculiarities or mannerisms in order to humiliate him. During the debates of the reconstruction period Blaine from the North and Hill from the South went after each other with verbal sledge hammers and occasionally the debates waxed so hot that men feared trouble. The nearest approach to anything of a serious nature in comparatively recent years was when one senator arose and calmly said of another senator who belonged to the same political party, “The senator from does not know how to debate with gentlemen.” The senator to whom this remark was addressed was known as a fire eater. However, he knew his own failings of temper and to the utter amazement' of the senate he took the personal rebuke with due meekness, saying that he had forgotten himself when he was talking a few minutes before, and that perhaps there was some justifica•tion at the moment for what was said of him. Spooner Versus Tillman. About fifteen years ago Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, now dead, and Senator Tillman of South Caroiina, who also is dead, had interchange after interchange of personalities while debating. Each had a seat on the center aisle, their desks being almost opposite each other. The galleries time and again thought that there would be u real explosion with fragments flying about, but both men kept well within bounds which in earlier days of the senate certainly would have been passed. In the house of representatives personalities come more frequently than in the senate, but the house, like the senate, is much better behaved in these days than it was in other days. There was a personal encounter about twelve years ago between a member from Missouri and a member from Mississippi, but not much damage was done. The seeming aggressor in the encounter was a representative who always had been known for his dignified and reserved| bearing. He was not a young man by any manner of means. His antagonist is now a senator of the United States. Gas Service Is Saved. Congress, after a Careful hearing of the advocates of both sides of the Issue, has decided against the chief of staff of the army, and has continued by legislation the chemical warfare service, otherwise known as gas service of Uncle Sam’s forces. Until June 30, 1920, therefore, the gas service by order of the lawmakers will be continued with the duties and authorities that it had on the day that the armistice went into effect, November 11, 1918. The committee of congress which went into the subject heard the whole history of the gas sendee, its intimate rela-. tlons with the chemical and dye industry, how the Germans "built their

SAVING’S SILLY; SEE THIS. •'Rotten policy to save! Fatal to save! Find out when it’s too late, don’t want what you’ve been saving so your impulses.

chemical industries and later utilized them in launching a form of warfare which caught the allies unawares, and which if later not met. would have meant defeat for the entente. Germany broke its pledge when it used gas against the British forces at Ypres in April, 1915. The view which congress has taken of the matter apparently is that when a country has broken a pledge there is no insurance that it will not do the same thing again, and therefore legislation has been passed and approved which will continue the chemical warfare service for defensive purposes for another year, and this means almost unquestionably that it will be made a separate unit of the regular --army when organization of the regulars shall be completed next winter. Nature of Gas. Warfare. There seems to be some misunderstanding throughout the United States about the nature of gas warfare. Gas is not as deadly a weapon as other approved weapons of war. but if an enemy is unprepared I meet gas attacks he will be put out the conflict until preparation can be made, and in the Intervening time the country which has gas. and which is using it is certain to win its victory unless preparation can be made quickly. British, French and American authorities say that with the development of gas warfare to its present condition it will be Impossible to pre- . pare quickly against an attack of the I enemy who is fully equipped with the modern offensive gas appliances. The reason the British were able to prepare in 1915 is that the first gases used were not as effective as those which later were manufactured. With gas as it is today the army which has it can defeat out of hand any other army which may confront it. no matter what its size—at least so runs the opinion of military experts in Washington. Congress, It seems, came to the conclusion before it sanctioned the continuation of the chemical warfare service that if any line of chemical Industry is probed it will he found that it has a war application as well as a peace application. The action of congress makes it clear that it believes that the chemical warfare service will go hhnd in hand with the efforts to develop a nitrate supply for this country, to develop the dyestuff and acetylene, industries against hurtful foreign com petition. Bird Protection Shows Results. Washington officials connected with the biological survey of the department of agriculture, of which E. W. Nelson is the chief, are faithfully at work these days in carrying out th® provisions of the treaty with Canada which gives the United States power to protect migratory birds. Dr. E. K. Fisher and Dr. S’. S. Palmer with other officials are doing commanding work. The effect of the prosecution of offenders against the laws regulating shooting is already evident. Strong support from genuine sportsmen has come for that provision of the law which prevents spring shooting and which gives the migratory birds security during the season of mating and nesting. The whole country flow is in sympathy apparently with the laws which protect the song and insectivorous birds of the land, A French scientist has stated that six months after the disappearance of bird life from this planet of ours man would have to prepare to follow in*the trail of disappearance. The Frenchman’s findings have been borne out by other scientists declaring that insect life would increase so rapidly if its natural enemies, the birds, were all killed, the green things on the earth would be dead in short order and that therefore no cattle could live, and man being deprived of both vegetables and animal food, would go the way.of annihilation by starvation. Washington Swarms With Birds. All of which in away is apropos of the extraordinary abundance of songbird life in the capital of the United States in this late summer season of 1919. No shooting is allowed in the District of Columbia at any time of the year. The result is that birds literally walk over the feet of people who sit in any one of the parks with which this city abounds. Os course domestic pigeons are not wild birds, but they are not ordinarily as tame as chickens. In parts of Washington the domestic pigeons, will light on the heads of persons sitting in the parks in the expectation of being fed. They are seldom disappointed. What is true of the domestic pigeon is almost true of the blackbird, known generally as the purple grackle. These glossy fellows will eat from the hand. Robins do not care for bread crumbs and therefore they do not besiege the park visitors as do the other birds, but they pay no attention to passersby and will pull worms from the sod unconcerned while within less than a hand’s reach of humankind. > * What is true of the city is to a considerable extent true of the suburbs in the District of Columbia. This summer I have seen the homes of twelve pairs of house wrens under the shadow of one suburban residence. Woodpeckers, orioles, chickadees, robins, bluebirds, martins, chipping sparrows, barn swallows, sparrow hawks, red shouldered hawks, and a dozen other species of birds were nesting, commun-ity-like, on the same domain. Avoid Extreme Views. Extreme views are never just; something always turns up which disturbs the calculations formed upon this data. —Disraeli.

FAMOUS APPIAN WAY. The Appian way was the first great Roman road formally undertaken as a public work, it is said. It was begun in 312 B. C. by Appius Claudius Caecus. Today the Appian way forms one of the most notable memorials of antiquity in or near the Eternal city, bordered by tombs and the ruins of monumental buildings. Long stretches of the pavement remain perfect. The width of the Appian way was from 14 to 18 feet

Imitations Are Dangerous. AN OHIO druggist writes to “The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New York Drug Journal, as follows; “Please furnish formula for Castoria. Ail the formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer.” To this “The Practical Druggist” replies: “We do not supply formulas for proprietary articles. We couldn’t if we wanted to. Your experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine? If you make a substitute, it is not fair or f right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.” No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria.

Children Cry For Mothers Must Use Care. Why do we so often call your attention to imitations of Fletcher’a Castoria? Because it is a baby’s medicine and imitations are always dangerous, particularly imitations of a remedy for infants. Your druggist may not keep an imitation but they are to be found on drug-store shelves. Reliable druggists think only of the welfare of their customers. The other kind only of the greater profit to be made on imitations. Your own judgment tells you that Fletcher’s Castoria having for over thirty years at great expense held up its reputation, must jealously guard it. Then, it follows that this company must use the very best of material. Must employ experts in the selection of the herbs. Must retain skilled chemists in its manufacture. Your same good judgment must tell you that these irresponsible imitators are trading on your credulity and the reputation built up by Mr. Fletcher, during all these years, for his Castoria.
