' ,l- h .? s. I- r i tip 51 jsr gosszp iMrotfT people liss Miriam Kane Tells of Her Shows Poster Stating That Edith Cavell Had Been Executed Other Things T"S rather strange how things come home to one. Is It not? Yesterday I went Into jhe workrooms of the Independence Square auxiliary of the Amerlcnn lied Cross to ar Miriam Kane tell of the work for the ,prench wounded In the English Hospital nd the work amonK the blind at the Llght- louse In Paris. Miss Kane wa"s for more than a year In j'rance, and was what was caUed a V. A. D. a nurse's aid, In other words), In an Kng- sh hospital. Then later she went to Paris nd worked with Miss Holt for the blinded men. There jure twenty-seven tnousann Minded men in France, and Miss Kane said ihe knew of a very, very few who are as yet self-supporting after nearly four years if blindness. put this is not the strange part of it all. Iss Kane had a number of posters to show ;Us, and among them was a copy or tne roclamatlon of death issued by the Ger- ians for six persons, among whom iwere Edith Cavell nnd Hancn. the architect. There was, lower down on the poster, R number of names of tho'e who were con demned to fifteen years' Imprisonment, and In- those names I saw Marie du Croy, though Germany had it as Mary. And I remembered meeting, nt the Wal- Jar George Smith's house, In Torresdale, one nay iTince iieno nu troy, me uncie of the unfortunate girl, and her brother. Prince Leopold du Croy, who were in this country visiting and who were guests at various times nt the Smiths. And I re. membered hearing only this winter how Marledu Croy had contracted tuberculosis .from Her Imprisonment, and it is hardly likely that she will live to bear those fifteen yaars, een If she should .not be liberated -before then; as she surely would If she lived, because the German dominion can not last. And that is but one person of whom I happen personally to know. A delicately reared, charming, lovely Belgian girl con demned to fifteen years' imprisonment for being loyal to the country to which she belonged! As sure as there Is a God In Heaven there will be a day of vengeance fur those creatures of the honlble German system, as well as the system Itself! After showing the proclamation, Miss Kane snowed a wonderful poster of that treat and holy Belgian, who stands out be fote the world, fearless before the atrocities of Germany. The one man the Germans have had to respect, Cardinal Mercler. And, -somehow, there was great comfort In the 3 sight, for it secins to me that though so many have come tiacK to oenei in uuu mm to acknowledging His dominion since this terrible war, .there are still many scoffers and unbelievers, and that It only those who have not bel!c ed in Him would bow their heads and say, "'e hae sinned in shut ting Him out of our lies," victory would come sooner. Such men as Cardinal Mercler do not hesitate to raise their voices to acknowl- 'nedge the Poor Man of Nazal eth. And so it lyjwas a comfort' to see inai great nsure Hfu-ftoninrr no it n.ro liptwppM his neonle and & the enemy, and trusting In God to help f'Jt him, but also not hesitating to protect and V t. .' . . , . .- i, protest wnenever ne can. uuc iimiui V& souls!

But, accoullng to Henry Ellonsky, holder of the world's long distance swimming championship, that Is be cause they do not employ the scientific method ot breathing when In the water. With hands, feet and legs shackled, Ellon sky swam from Battery Park. New York city, to Coney Island, a distance of seven miles. In five hours and twenty minutes. His sister, with hands and legs free, swam with him. ' The lulc which Ellonsky gives to his puplla is: "When In the water breathe through the mouth only and gulp the ah. as jou would if .vou were frightened or veiy much amazed on land." The air thus Inhaled Is driven into the lungs In about five times the quantity late breathed through the nope. A cramp Is merely a contraction of the muscles caused by "the penetration of the cold Obviously, it could not of Itself cause drowning Its worst effect Is to cause a panic, which tin on s the swimmer off Ills guard, causing him to let the air out of his lungs and thus allow the air passages to become tilled with water. The safeguard against such a panic Is absolute confidence In the floating power of the body and a. demonstrable knowledge of the proper way to quickly fill the lungs to utmost capacity with air. The moment a cramp Is felt, advises a writer In Popular Science Monthly, the swim mer should turn on his back and begin to gulp the air. making no effoit to keep him self from sinking. As be sinks he slowly exhales undei water, through the mouth, with the lips puckered as for whistling. If It Is a stomach ciamp the knees will be drawn up againft the abdomen, but the sw Immer should force them out, pushing on them with both hands and using all his strength until tbey are fully extended. This will no doubt cause great pain for a few seconds, but as soon as the lees are Btralghtened out the cramp will vanish, and the body, buoyed up by the. air In the lungs, will shoot Up (o the surface. There, still Inhaling in great gulps, and exhaling through puckered lips, the swim mer may float until he regains his strength or is picked up. In case of cramp In the leg or arm the same ss!pm of Dreaming is louoneu, anu me affected part strength. is straightened out by sheer Win-the-War" Notes of Philadelphia Women A new Navy League shop has been added to the number conducted with fine results under the chairmanship of Mrs. N.

If our vision Is not as sharp as It once was, It Is even something of a task to get n piece of thread tlunugh a needle's eje. A needle has been devised which can be til leaded by the simple expedient of looping the thiead over the head ot the needle and drawing it downward. As described In Popu lar Science Monthly, this needle differ fiom the oidlnary needle in that It has an opening through tho top of the eye through which the thread slips, when It Is drawn -downward The steel endH sprlqg close together as noon as the thread has passed into the eje. This tpe of needle Is said to be particu lars' adapted to the 'doing of fancy work because two or three threads may be passed tluough the eje at , one time, a feat that is quite Impossible with the ordinal y needle. It is also useful for embroidering with wor sted, the thick, clumsy threads ot which mHke It necessary, usually, to employ a needle for the purpose which has a large clumsy eje. The Size of the Halfpenny It Is not, perhaps, generally known that the Kngllsh halfpenny is an exact measure for one Inch. A dozen people may be atked, at haphazard, what Its dimensions are and they will not answer correctlj".
