She was one of the pusâ€" sengers rescued in the only canvas boat, out of 500, that survived the tragedy on April 14, 1914, the day of the sinking of the "unsinkable" vessel on its maiden voyage across An iceberg off Halifax felled the vessel. April 14 is the birthday of her only daughter, Ellen. It is also the the anniversary of her brother‘s birth,. Mrs. Larson, then 21 years old, sailed on the Titanic, the largâ€" est ship in the world, at the insistâ€" ence of her brother Carl, although she had booked passage on the Adriâ€" atic which sailed a day later. He gaid at the time that nothing but the best was good enough for her. Mrs. Larson still has the passage ticket which indicates her cancelled trip on the Adriatic. For eleven weeks after landing in the United States, she lay ill in a Chicago hosâ€" pital. For two or three months she could hear the scream of the ship in her sleep. Their canvas boat was 25 ffet from the $7,500,â€" ©00 ship as it sank, creating a Janâ€" gerous suction in the environs of the hulk. Until a ship‘s officer took her on deck and showed her the crew lined up on the second deck with water to their chests, she did not realize the gravity of the situation. When she was safely inside the lifeboat with approximately 25 others, she was horrorâ€"stricken to see people rushing from dne end of the deck to the other in vain attempts to escape. "Don‘t fight weedsâ€"grow grass" is the secret of an attractive weedâ€" free lawn, says Mr. Beaudry. "The best way to avoid the soâ€"called pest grassesâ€"crab, quack, pigeon and water grassâ€"is to maintain sturdy growth in your lawn. Never pull up these pest grasses, as that mereâ€" ly leaves a hole where three more will sprout for every one which you uproot. Mocow your lawn regularly often enough to keep the grass from seeding, hence seeding is the comâ€" pletion of a lifeâ€"cycle and weakens grass, leaving it vulnerable to weeds and other growth. Late Spring Gives Opportunity to Plant And Improve Lawns One member of their party, Mrs. Anna Gustafson of Des Moines, Iowa, who had managed to save a suitcase, shawl and a bottle of The late, wet spring this year gives householders an opportunity to plant and improve their lawns during Jane instead of May. Crab grass which ordinarily appears in lawns about this time of the year, will probably not be prevalent until July this year, according to William Beaudry, landscape engineer of the Chicago Real Estate Board. "Weeds are only pinchâ€"hitters for grass. If you keep your lawn in good condition, you will have little trouble with weeds. June is a good. time of the year to fertilize your lawn, and with ordinary eare, such as occasional watering and mowing, your Jawn should hold up well throughout the season. Where a lawn is off to a poor start or has a patchy appearance, there is still time, due to the late spring this year, to remedy this condition. If there are bare spots in your lawn, merate them; that is, insert a spadâ€" ing fork the full length of its blade and move it about so as to loosen lower soil. Do this every six inchâ€" es. Then roughen the surface with the rake, seed it and put on top dressing. There is still time for this to be done now, and your patches will be ecliminated or greatly imâ€" proved. "Rye or timothy are good to plant for immediate growth. The best time to seed is in September using blue grass or other good seed, for then the grass seed grows roots and is UnusuaL Srozms Nature‘s Playground _ Black Oak Resost Enjoy Nature at her best!

One of the carsmen pointed out the green lights of the Carpathia, which picked them up, to Mrs. Larson as she could speak only Swedish. She was so broadcasts over WBBM and WENR, although for ten years after the catastrophe she could not bear to speak of it. Landing in New York, she was lodged in the Luâ€" theran Swedish home, and then proâ€" ceeded to Evanston, where her aunt, Mrs. Johanna Erickson, lived. She made her home there from May to December, 1912. twenty minutes on the open sea, that she squeezed the stranger in a hug. Mrs. Larsen has been heard in Explaining why the California, which was nearest the giant ship at the time of the accident, did not come to its rescue, Mrs. Larson states that marine laws did not then require 24â€"hour radio service. The canvas boat, in which she was saved, is unodubtedly with the Norâ€" wegian captain of the Carpathia, who kept it as a souvenir of the grim night. The Larsons were marâ€" ried by Roy J. Mason, justice of the peace, Dec. 7, 1915, in Waukegan. Mrs. Larson is the former Hilda Hellstrom. Members of thirty persons saved on a door afloat on the ocean, the sharks in the wake of the sinking, and other scenes seem far away now that she is safe and happy in Highland Park. Only when a letter from the Los Angeles museum in Exposition Park, Cal., came asking to buy the passport she owns as a memento of the occasion, does she look back to the horrors of that night, somehow even unbelievable today. the HIGHLAND PARK PRESS.
