John | C. Howard, vice-president and mana- | ger of the George Hall Coal Co., of | Ogdensburg, gave it his unqualified | endorsement. - Mr. Howard said that | all of their captains agréed with the! arguments advanced, and he stated | tion made in the newspapers favor-| ing the transfer of the station were| correct in every particular, | James A. Lytle, of the Ogdens- | burg Coal & Towing Company, also gave the proposition his full approval] and said that it goes without saying| that the fiéet cptains hold to the same view, Mr. Lytle referred to! the wreck of two of the O.

He said that if there had been a life-| saving station at that point all of the crews might have been saved 1 Three coal-laden barges in tow of the | tug William L. Proctor, Capt. Nelson commanding, were laboring through a heavy sea off the Galloups when the tow line parted and the H. B. and James Buckly went adrift, After aking repeated, but fruitless, ef- Torts to regain coiirol of the helpless barges, Capt. Neison headed for Cape Vincent with the third barge, the Me- nominee, The tug then returned to hunt for the others, which were no- where in sight, having foundered. Af- ter hunting several hours, the tug- boat saw something tossing on the angry surface séveral miles away, and ran toward it. It proved to he a piece of wreckage to which the cap- tain of one of the barges and his son. wer clinging, nearly exhausted. They were rescued, being the sole survi- vors. The captain's daughter had i been washed away and drowned not i "the worst bunch of buccaneers that a long hefore the shipwrecked sailors were found by the rescuing tugmen, The matter will be taken up with the Department of Commerce, | through Congressman Luther WwW. Mott, and shipping interests on the lakes and along the St. Lawrence will be pafticipants in the movement to have the transfer made.

Because other parts of the country had become too hot for conferences it is hinted that Boston was picked for further moves against Canada, and the ease with which Canadian points can be reached from here leads to the belief that for a while Uncle Sam's agents will wage a silent war against the suspected German sym- { pathizers. tL" That the German plotters who are | under federal espionage went to their (rendezvous in Milk street building in a limousine owned by a prominent Boston man, whose name is~Nkwown, became known to-day.

SKIDDING. Skidding is a blood-curdling per formance on the part of a five-pas- senger tcuring car wliile ia an intoxi- cated condition. A new, shiny au- tomobile in the hands of a backslid den Keeley graduate is harder to Keep in the road than a two-year-old colt nursing -an attack of gastritis, and can skid faster and farther than a fat party shooting the chutes in a ong-piece bathing suit. Skidding is caused by .a total lack of front teeth in the rear tires. All new tires come squipped with sharp prying teeth which sink. into every rut, rock and thank-you-ma'am 'in the road, preventing side sway and producing a great variety of dull red contusions on the occupants. Af- ter 'having been Tun for a few thou- sand miles, however, these jeeth dis- appear entirely, leaviiig~*a smooth, rounded surface which will not catch anything but tacks and shingle nails: This enables the car to skid with passionate energy toward a twelve-foot embankment, without any more sense of direction than a Stout girl on a new pair of roller skates, . @ For the benefit of new automobile owners who have never encountered a genuine, hand-buffed skid we would say that it can be recognized without difficulty by a depressed sen- sation in the stomach, similar to the sensation enjoyed by an ocean tour Ist on the second day out In order to skim the cream off this sensa- tion, the automobile should be dri- ven around a sharp corner at forty miles au hour immediately after a sleet storm. An expert driver can skid for a block and a half in this fashion by using only two legs of the automobile, with the other two,point- ing aimlessly toward the North star and not connecting with anything ex cept the atmosphere Skidding has come to be consider- ed a dangerous pastime, having re- sulted in numerous unexpected fat- alities and sending hundreds of in- trepid skidders home for the purpose of having a few bones restored their original location The best method of preventing skidding'is to allow the machine to crawl along on its- aand and knees, but mogt people preter te wrap ropes, discarded un- derwear and steel chains around the hind wheels. Chains are the best preventive, and when attached so that they can slap tha fender 'in the face at every revolution add a spicy musical accompaniment to the con versation, If you are skidding on your New Year's resolutions, slow up at the corners and examine your brake lin ings. to o Amman.

NI a tA ALTS IN HOT WATER CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN Says we Fs make Kidneys the blood and pimples disappear. clean Pimples, sores and boils usually re- sult .from toxins, poisons and im- purities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the funcfion of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities} than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the! next best nieans of getting rid of these impurities which often break! out all over the skin in the form of piinples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a re author- ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before bréakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to nor- nal activity, thus coaxing them to the blood of impurities and cléaring fhe skin of pimples, Jad Sglts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lembn juice, combined with li- thia. Here you have a pleasant, ef-| fervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as well, J No One Seriously Hurt When Bombs Fell.
