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:

convoy. 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.

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

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.
