Steaming In exultant strength across the blue Atlantic on its first vo>-
age to the New World, the largest and finest passenger craft that ever
flouted the Vaterland from Hamburg, is now ploughing the deep.
,t ,s as long a. five city block.. Ms carrying capacity Is as great
that of forty long freight trains. It could house an army. It has
,hl, luxury and the convenience# of the flnett hotel.

their 'enZvor. to make 1. safe. II is really two ships In one. so bat.
should disaster befall the outer skin, the Inner would keep the great boat
afloat.
"Unsinkuble," exports say.
So they said of the Titanic.
Meanwhile, across the paths of travel In the North Atlantic, drifting
down In glitter or fog, stretches a great ice floe, 460 miles long, some
sea captains say. , . .
Luckily this menace to human safety is known and charted.
Fortunately tho sea dog on the Valeriana's quarterdeck is watchful
and careful. In the lone of danger there will be no "full speed nhead.
At staggering cost our mariners have learned n lesson of caution.
Yet let's hope there'll be no test of the great greyhound s endurance;
no mishap to pit the puny strength of man in a death grapple with the
might of nature, but the happiest of voyages to a harborage secure.

-—o
The first vessel load is about starting, or has just started, from New
Orleans, of Oklahoma oil, going to the foreign markets. The mcrcnant
vessel "Oil Fields'4 was loaded from the Mid-Continent field for foreign
ports last week. The Inspection of the oil proved it to b. even better
grade than the trade demands, and most of it comes from Tujsa, and was
the product of the small producers. Heretofore the oil for export has
been furnished by the large producers and this breaking into the export
game by the little fellow marks an epoch in the Industry.
Tulsa refiners will soon load a cargo of gasoline for the export mar-
ket also It will be handled through the Union Petroleum company, which
has been large purchaser in the Oklahoma field, and will also embark
from the port of New Orleans.
SAFE -because you do not have to carry much money.
CONVENIENT— because you can draw checks for bills.
ECONOMICAL— because your check is a receipt for all
bills paid and no chance to be required to pay
the same bill twice.

THE MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS.
While the Medical Reserve .'orps was creaied for . broader purpose
than that of having available a list of trained men on whom to call in
time of war. at the same time this was one ot the important reasons for
Its organisation. There are over twelve hundred officers on the Medical
Reserve Corps (Inactive list), and those who are willing to serve will un-
doubtedly be sufficient for any situation that may develop at the present
time or in the near future. The surgeon-general of the urmv has sent a
circular to each of the offices of the corps. In which ho submits five ques-
tions, to which the officers are asked to answer "yes" or no. The ques-
tions are:
1. Are you ready to accept active duty In your home city or Its Im-
mediate vicinity should occasion require?
2. Are you ready to accept active duty at camps of mobilization,
where recruits will he examined?
3. Are you ready to accept duty In army hospitals in the I nlted
States or elsewhere?
4. Are you ready to accept dyty with troopB in th. field?
6. How soon after receiving notice that your services are desired
can you leave your home?
It will be noticed'that an opportunity to do other effoctivt work Is
here given those who. while willing to do their part, for some reason or
other are not able to go to the front. Many of the officwrs are men who
have organising ability, who have been connected with hospitals, and
who. for this reason, would be of great assistance in administrative work.
Some now belonging 10 the Medical Reserve Corps are men beyond the
age limit for entering as volntiteer surgeons for military service or. in fact,
for active work In the field in time of war. however, inys the Journal
of the American Medical Association, there Is much to be done liysides
following the troops; recruits must bo examined, hospitals equipped, hos-
pital supplies of nil sorts selected. Inspected, purchased and distributed,
base hospitals maintained, and wounded and Incapacitated men transported.
All of these duties can be performed by men who, though they have not
had actual military training or experience, are able to relieve the regular
uillitatY whose services can he utilized where 'h< 1 will be most \aluablc.
(iav life for star "witnesses for the people" entertained by the stale
attorney's officii ha* become Chicago's conspicuous scandal, the bills for
boote. joy rides and smoke* having rua luto so many thousands of dollars
that a huge appropriation was exceeded. The bar association condemned
the practice of lavishing luxuries on a man or woman because he or *he
was prepared .o give testimony which might aid In the conviction of some-
one else. The deficit of *17,000 for expenditure* of the kind was, how-
ever. cared for by the county board in spite of President McCormlck's veto.
A million dollars Incognito Is causlug surprise In Chicago. If 1 were
the owner of a legitimate business with a bank account of not less than
a million dollars," said an advertising ageucy man, "1 think 1 should be
willing to have my name known, yet one of our best customers is a mail
order house recently started which is owned anonymously and gives as a
basis for credit a bank statement that the concern has practically un-
limited resource* and a million dollar deposit. I have not thought it my.
business to try and find out who is the man back of the concern There
Is big money In the mall order business with the parcel post and the new
express rates and It may be that tbe Standard Oil crowd are getting
Into It as they have Into the Dairy lunch and many know who It is that
has so much money to use In a business and does not want bis name or
their names used."

Calgary, Alta., May 20,-The domin-
ion government has been requested
by the board of control ot the Inter-
national congress to Invite delegates
from all countries where irrigation
agriculture 1b practiced, to attend the
21st. Congress In Calgary October 5
to 9. In addition to the foreign
representatives and speakers there
will attend expert Irrlgatlonists from
the principal states of the union and
the provinces of the dominion.
Teh congress this year promises to
be one of the rope', notable in the
history of the organization from an
educational standpoint, and from the
economic results which may follow.
There is much in the methods which
have been os successfully used by
vie Canadians which can be Btudled
and to some extent adopted by the
home builders of the states. Methods
of colonization are to be given spec-
ial attention. *' * —
The congress work is in charge ot
a board of governors consisting of
George A. Snow, Salt Lake City,
chairman; Major Richard W. \oung,
Salt Lake City, president of the con-
gress; J. B. Denis, chairman of the
local board of control, which has
been organized at Calgary; Douglas
White, Los Angeles; Lou D. Sweet,
Denver; L. Newman, Great Falls, and
Arthur Hooker ot Spokane, secre-
tary of the congress.
Delegates will be shown over the
great irrigation project which begins
practically at the city limltB and ex-
tends 150 miles to the east. This is
the greatest project of Its kind on
the American continent, embracing
over 3,000,000 acres and on which
millions of dollars have been spent.
Hunting and fishing abound in the
mountains near Calgary and the
meeting comes at a delightful season
of the year for tourists.

breakfast the following morning ona

Jacks made by the other member of
the party. "These are about the
toughest Imitations of the real thing
I ever ran against," he observed,
sourly, but as he saw his companions
face light up at the prospect of ob-
taining the forfeit, he quickly added.

Doatb In ocean disasters promises
to b© robbed of much of Its likelihood
If a life jacket invented by G. M. Boddy,
a British experimenter in life-saving
devices, proves Its reputed merits
With the Boddy vest the wearer can't
drown If he wishes. It is automatio
In every feature and, unlike the con-
ventional life belt, It doesn't hinder
the free movement of the body.
The Boddy Jacket, says the New
York Press, 1b in the nature of a liuga
breast pad, resembling somewhat the
chest protector worn by the baseball
umpire. It is freely inflated with a
fiber imrervlous to water, and despite
Its thickness, Is quickly attached It
occupies half the space of the life
belt now in use.
The disposition of the air pade in
the Jacket gives the body a face-up-
ward position in the water. A cush-
ion on the back, Just below the shoul-
ders, keeps the wearer's head above
sea, no matter how high the ocean If
running. While gigantlo waves may
submerge the wearer for an instant,
the head bobs high out of the water
an Instant later.
The buoyancy of the Jacket permits
the wearer to remain afloat for three
or four days. The question of sus-
tained life becomes one merely of
physical endurance against cold or
hunger.
The appalling loss of life In recent
marine disasters and the subsequent
investigations by the British board of
trade have called attention to the
Boddy jacket and, moreover, have In-
spired inventors of life-saving ap-
pliances to strive their utmost. The
allurements of huge rewards for near
perfect apparatus have produced many
Inventions, several of which have been
adopted by steamship companies un-
der indorsement of marine boards.
The Boddy jacket is adapted to be
worn by a child as well as by an adult,
l Strapped to a child the infant ma} bo
throw n overboard with almost certain
impunity. The little one. when cast
over, Is bound to turn up on Its baik.

That condemned murderers should
have the opportunity of submitting
themselves to vivisection and thus se-
cure a "chance to work out their sal
vation," instead of being hanged, was
the startling suggestion made by the
mayor of Hath, England, Dr. Preston
King, a* a meeting of the local antl-
vivisectlonlsts.
He suggested that, while the nation
kept capital punishment In Its code
of laws, and thought It right tor so-
ciety at large that a criminal who had
committed murder should be hanged,
they should give the condemned man
the option of subjecting himself to
eome simple kind, not the grosser
kind, of vivisection—snch, for In-
atance, as feeding on tuberculoma milk
or injactlon of germs of various kind* ,
