Scientific American. Freighter Develops Engine Trouble and Falls Behind Convoy Sub marine Bobs Up and Beglna Hurling Shells. By FRAZIER HUNT (In the Chicago Tribune.) An American Naval Base in France. A lad from the U. S. S. Destroyer 552 had Just finished narrating how close they had come to getting a sub marine on the last trip when they had brought In a big convoy of troopers. "Some boat she Is," he remarked offhand. "We did seven thousand knots last month and in three sub fights. Say, what was those funny steel drums you had plied on the deck of your old cargo ship when you come In yesterday?" A lad from the Atlantic freight ferry boat turned to the destroyer gob. "Those steel drums you asked about didn't have nothing at all in them ex cept about a million gallons of the must dangerous poison gns ever made. Can you Imagine what would happen If a torpedo or even a shell had hit one of those tanks?" This ship, which we shall call the" Terrance, left New York as part of a convoy of, 15 stores ships. Cargo of Death. On this trip It was carrying several thousand steel dums of poison gus that the army needed badly. It was a dungerous cargo. Any explosion on board would tear open these drums of concentrated gas and in ten seconds choke the crew to death. The only hope would be to use respirators, so a hundred gas masks were borrowed from the army nnd the executive offi cer of the ship called all hands for In structions three times a day. The first ten days of the trip were uneventful. Then the Terrance's en gines began acting badly. It could not make the required ten knots and slow ly It fell behind. There were not suffi cient convoying destroyers to have one remain behind, so all that stood be tween the Terrance's drums of death and a German submarine was the fore nnd nft guns. Finally, at six o'clock one evening, the gas mask drill Just had ended when the lookout In the crow's nest shouted down that a submarine wns coming to the surface on the port side, some 0,000 yards astern. And here wns the Terrance with crippled engines hobbling along six or seven knots an hour, with the convoy 20 miles uhend: "Onen fire wilh the stern gun.

Send word to the chief en glneer," were four orders the sklppei on the bridge gave first. Through his binoculars he could see the submarine coming to the surface. Even now the Terrance's stern gun was peppering away shots, but falling short of the mark by 1,500 yards. In half a minute more the subma rine's connla? tower opened nnd men crawled out and uncovered the subma rine's two guns. In another minute the first shell came whining toward the Torrance. It, too, fell away short. Call for Help. In the radio room the operator was pounding out the call for help, and now came the answer that the destroy ers were coning to aid. Down below the whole engine force was working madly. Suddenly a miracle happened and the starboard engines begun sup plying power to the propeller. From a bare seven knots the ship Jumped to ten then eleven, twelve. Meantime on the bridge the officers with gas masks strapped ut alert po sition were getting the thrill of their whole life as the old boat picked up speed. Sub shells now were fulling within 800 yards of the ship. With the Terrance's new speed the sub gained slowly, but the skipper and officers knew Its guns would out range their own and soon find a mark. It was a great race with life or death for the goal. Then from the edge of the world came the smoke of destroyers shoot ing ahead like flaming arrows. Thirty knots nnd more they were making. In another minute they could truce their outline. But: the sub was nearing, too. One shell bioke less than thirty yards away. . Seconds seemed like hours, but each brought the rescuing destroyers near er. They were heading straight for the sub, and no sub cares for that. There was one more shot, then the gunners run to the conning tower and climbed inside. Two minutes later she submerged. Their last shot hit within ten feet of the Terrance's stern. JLAlfi ounf: i Of. GLANDL.j Italian Savants' Discovery, If 'true, Will Have tnrnerl Them tne Gratitude of Mankind. Tli reviews of medicine nnd vet erinary surgery speak of lmportum researches looking to the cure of glim ders, which afflicts horses and may also attack man, who almost Invaria bly succumbs. At the beginning of the war the spread of glanders, especially anion,: the quadrupeds of the Third Italian army "suggested to Colonel Command Ing Dr. E. Bertettl, director of the veterinary service of the army, the Idea of utilizing the victims of glan ders In making experiments In regard to Its curability. Obtaining permission of the wnr ministry nnd the supreme command of the army, the experiments were be gun at Canrle In a sanltnritim rigorous ly quarantined nnd equipped with all the latest scientific and surgical ap pliances. Dr. Ouldo Final, head of the Instl sute of Pathology nnd Medical Clinics of the Superior Veterinary School of Turin, assisted Doctor Bertettl. After two years they nnnonriocil that glan ders wns curable, not only In Us Chron ic stages but also In Its process of evo lutlon. The Importance of the discovery and the evidence of the results obtained led the two experimenters to ask for a commission to make practical tests of their discoveries. The results fully confirmed the facts announced by Doc tors Ilertetll nnd Finzl. PUT HYPNOTISM TO GOOD USr. i Incorporated y - k Australian Physician Announces Tha He Has Cured War Stammering by Its Employment Writing In the Medical Journal of Australia, Dr. Clarence G. Godfrey states that during the past two years a number of cases have been referred to hlln for treatment by hypnotic sug gestion, In which stammering or stut tering had developed, or had be?n revived, after yenrs of disappearance, as the result of shell shock or of various war stresses. Sometimes a hpynotlzed patient has been told to keep on repeating some well-known nursery rhyme and not to cease at the signal to awake, although in the mid dle of the rhyme, but to keep on talk ing. He will usually manifest his astonishment at finding himself talk ing without difficulty, Sometimes n patient flll converse on unking with out realizing that bis stammering bus disappeared until his attention is drawn to It wilh nmuslng effect. Tn one case the patient spoke perfectly In sleep at the first attempt to hyn notlze him, although he hud bad n very bad stutter for eight months past, being almost inarticulate, lie woks In a few minutes apparently cured nnd lias been free from stutter ever' since. It has been noticed that every ense treated, even the worst, has been able to speak far better In the hypnotic state than out of It.' TAKING CARE OF SOMLITTER Sufficient Protection Must Be Provided During Months of March and April. GIVE STRAW FOR WARM BED DESIRABLE SITE FOR FARM Farmer Is Fortunate If Stream or Lake Is Handy for Required Supply of Ice. Other features being satisfactory, a farm Is well located that has a s'ream or lake or pond from which a supply of good, dear, clean lee may be har vested and the farmer Is doubly for tunate If there is an Icehouse at hand ready to receive it After Pigs Arrive Nothing Should Be Given but Supply of Clean Water Feed Moderately for the First Few Days. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Many farmers hnve their sows far row during the months of March and April and the early fall months in the South. Since the weather is often se vere in northern sections during March and April, cure should be taken to pro tect the sow from cold. Give her enough straw to make a warm bed, but not so much as to allow the little pigs to get covered and crushed. The sow should have clean water but nothing else for the first 24 hours after the pigs arrive. Feed for First Week. On the second day a thin bran mash or skim milk will be relished. Feed moderately for the first week. A mix ture of two parts of corn and one of middlings may be fed In Increasing amounts until the sow is eating a full feed. If skim milk can be fed In ad dition to the groin, there is nothing better to make the sow give a full flow of milk. Another good grain mix ture for the sow at this time Is six parts of corn nnd one of oil meal. If skim milk is available, the sow will do well on four pounds of milk to one of corn. A full grain ration for a day should never be more than four per cent of the sow's live weight. If the sow can be put on alfalfa, clover, blqe grass, or rape pasture, less corn will be required. A corn ration of about two per cent of the sow's live weight with good pasture makes a cheap and adequute supply. Care of Young Pigs. As soon as the little pigs begin to eat they will do best if fed additional slop in a separate pen and away from their mother and the larger pigs. This can be done by having a pen or a lot where choice clover or other for age crop Is growing to which the pigs may have access, but where the open ing is so small that the larger pigs cannot pass through. When the young pigs are from eight to ten weeks old they should be weaned. This often causes a serious check In their growth, but should not do so. When Sow With Profitable Litter. it is desirable to wean the pigs put the mother in a pen leaving a creep for the pigs. Feed the sow sparingly; give water Instead of slop and have the grain ration dry. While the sow Is receiving a maintenance ration the pigs should be fed all they will con sume without waste. A ration con sisting of such feeds ns skim milk, middlings, corn, nnd green forage will satisfy the pigs' appetites and simplify the weening. HOG HAS NUMEROUS ENEMIES Louse Is Most Common of Pests and Also Easiest to Get Rid Of Oiler Is Effective. The hog has numerous enemies, among the worst of which are para sites. The hog louse Is the most com mon of those pests and It might als be said it Is ulso the easiest to get rid of. Medicated or crude oil will drive out lice, nnd at their first appearance every hog raiser should get busy without de lay. If you hnve a dozen or more hogs it will pay you to get a hog oiler for applying the oil, as this permits tjhe hog Itself to rub the oil directly into the itchy, lousy parts, without any trouble to,vou. Don't let your hogs keep rubbing away their flesh and your profits on ev?rv fence rail, post, tree, etc., and put themselves in a physical condition to fan easy victims to the germs of c.iolera and other scourges. One hog oiler to every 20 to 30 hogs will re lieve them from torments of lice and will prove the best Investment a hog raiser could make. FIXING LOCATION OF WELL Direction of Surface and Under ground Drainage Should Be Given Good Consideration. (Prepared bv the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.)
