THE THINGS YOU

By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Late Dean of Men,
University of lllinois.
“It is the things you haven't,” Gore
sald to me, “that you value most—the
things that you
have missed that
you see in other
people and that
you realize, If you
had had them,

posed until I had
time to think the matter over that the
illiterate were likely to think well of
thelr illiteracy and somewhat to look
down upon those who had given thelr
minds and their time to education, but
Gore says that it isn't true. He has
had a good deal of experience in at-
tempting to interest citizens In the
support of a great public school sys

“Where 1 was superintendent of

Seek to Salvage Liner in the
Shark-Laden Waters.
Norfolk, Va.-—Another fleet is off on
the Rainbow Trail to a hitherto un-
reached pot of gold. The treasure of
the Ward liner, Merida, sunk off the
Virginia Capes more than twenty
years ago.
Capt, Harry L. Bowdoin, in his ship
Salvor, accompanied by the trawlers
Sea Hawk and Sea Rambler, is now
at the point, sixty miles off the coast,
where the wrecked ship lies forty
fathows deep In shark-infested wa
ters,
Pinning his hopes chiefly on a div.
ing suit he has spent 16 years in de-
veloping, the sixty-yearold seafarer
was optimistic on his departure.
Captain Bowdoin, however, is not
the first to be lured by the treasure
of the ship which sank after being
rammed by the United States Fruit
company steamer Admiral Farragut
on May 12, 1911. For the last twenty
years romance as well as desire for
material reward has beckoned the ad.
venturous to the wreck.
All passengers of the Merida were
saved, but the eargo and valuables
deposited with the purser went down
with the ship. There is reason to be.
lleve, therefore, that the hulk still
holds twenty-two tons of half-refined
gold and silver ore; bullion in bars
worth at least £1,000,000;: 4.000 tons
of copper ore and eighty kegs of
American $20 gold pieces,
Another item of the cargo which
some might consider worthy of sal
vage was 2000 kegs of fine Jamalca
rum.
As early as 1916 a syndicate of
New York bankers was formed and
launched an effort to recover the
Merida's treasure, but the wreck was
not found and the project was aban.
