With Loving Cup on Ar-
riavl in New York.
NEW TORK, May 29.--I merely tried
to do my duty as I saw it; first, to my
ship: secondly, to Buffering humanity,

room of the Cunard lino steamer Car
pathla, Capt, A. H, Rostron, hero of
the Titanic disaster, blushing like a

he had done nothing unusual in risking
his vessel and the lives of passengers
and crev in sending the Carpathia full
speed through the ice fields to the rescue
of the Titanic refugees huddled In tho
lifeboats afloat In the open sea. His
statement was made In response to a
eulogistic speech by Frederick K.
Stewart, of this city. In presenting to
the captain a silver loving cup to com
memorate the rescue, and to the officers
and crew medals for the same purpose.
The entire affair was unique In the
history of this port. Entering the
harbor, the Carpathia was saluted by
every vessel she passed on the run up
from tho channel lightship. At the
pier a committee of Tllanlo survivors
nnd invited guests boarded the vessel,
and at their request Captain Rostron
mustered th- entire crew, from dcclt
hand to stoker, in the main saloon,
and after somo eulogistic speeches
every ono of tho vessel's company re
ceived a medal.
A loving- cup given Captain Rostron
bore the following Inscription:
"Presented to Capt. A. H. Rostron,
R. D. R, N. R commander R. M. P
Carpathia, In grateful recognition and
appreciation of his heroic and efficient

The Price and Terms of These
Columbia Heights Homes
Price
$2,750 $150
Cash
Monthly
$22.50

for itself upon its payment you become the immediate
owner and can take possession at once.
Then you pay but $22.50 per month (which includes
all interest) and this monthly amount which buys the
home is actually less than such a home would rent for.
Decoration Day (Thursday) is a holiday. You can
make it more than that. Make it a day of opportunities.
Will you be among those who are bound to take advantage
of the opportunity to see the kind of home you would like
to call your own and a home that you can purchase with
the money that you are now wasting for rent, each month.

Eye Talks,
By Dr. Ralph Martin Samuel
Failure of vision from nge la
not caused, as Is often erroneous
ly siippoxod, by tho flattening or
sinking of the eyobill. but by the
loss of HctommodatlnB power of
the crystalline lens. By the ac
commodating power I mean the
adjusting of the crystalline lena
by the cellary muscle to the dis
tance of the object looked upon.
My profession, that of or tome

supply spectacles to collect, re

modify th light to the require

In supplying spectacles for pres
