OLD NAMES BACK IN FAVOR “Mary" and “Eliza" Again in Style, After Having Suffered a Tem porary Eclipse. Old-fashioned names are again In style, and the greatest of them all— Mary—heads the list of present day Detroit brides, says Bert Maloney, marriage license clerk. “I have a passion for the name of Mary,” sang Byron, and many a poet ical Detroiter will experience a cuddly feeling at the news that the old names are back again. The popular Sarahs Anns, Agneses and Janes of Byron’s time gave way to the Ermentrudes, Clarisses and Yso bels of recent yesterdays, but now they’re coming Into their own again. Of course, “Mary” never went en tirely out. There’s something ele mental In it that defies banishment. It’s an ancient name of many tongues, symbolically connected with motherhood, with Isis and the moon »nd with the regeneration of man. —Detroit News. Named. Prof.—Who were the three wise men?

Tows Speejacks Across Pacific — : First Story of Progress of Gowen Party in Globe-Circling Trip in Yacht. ENJOYED THEIR LONG PULL Eastern Queen Tows Yacht From Pa nama to Teokea—Captain Swensen’8 Last View of Speejacks Party Was in Harbor at Sydney. New York.—The first story of the Speejacks l*as COnie to the port from which she sailed lust August on the first leg of her 50,000-mile voyage around the world. For eight mouths Albert Y. Gowen, Chicago business man and owner of the Speejacks, has been pushing the prow of his 98-foot yacht through South Pacific waters, and except for a brief bulletin sent six weeks ago from Kalauf, New Britain, | to the ship construction company j which built this craft, nothing has been , heard of this second “Cruise of the Smirk.” I Last week, however, the S. S. East i era Queen docked at Baltimore, and her captain, N. A. Swensen, came on to New York with his story of the Speejacks, the first story of the ad venturers. For Captain Swensen towed j the Speejacks behind the Eastern j Queen more than 4,000 miles, from Panama to Teokea, and later saw the Gowen party on their sturdy craft in Sydney, Australia, before the adven turers left that port for Java and Borneo. Captain Swensen was with the Spee jacks on one of the most interesting parts of her voyage, her longest jump from kind to land, and he tells a story of the trip from Panama to Teokea. When Mr. Gowen prepared to leave New York last August his boat, spe cially built for the voyage, was ex pected to proceed under her own power all the way, traversing the globe just south of the Equator. Her cruising range, however, was limited to 3,000 miles, and in order to make the first lap of the trip from Paifhma to the Marquesas islands without mishap and ** uu ik ou i uig vii. i uv.1, . uiyn vn vvni traded with the United States ship ping board to be towed to Teokea by the first shipping board boat which made the trip. The Eastern Queen, bound for Sydney, Australia, was dele gated to the task. “The last we saw of the Speejacks,” said Captain Swensen. “was shortly after Christmas—the 27tli or the 28th. She was In Neutral harbor, Sydney, where the Gowens spent Christmas, and we were all Invited over to see them. They were then in high spirits and anxious to get along into the is lands and heading west. En Tour. “VVe left New York on September 16 with a light cargo. Headed down the coast and went through the canal on the 28th, laying to alongside the Spee jacks the next day, just off Balboa. There we put a line ou her, putting an eight-inch hawser around her from stem to stern and back to stem to re lieve the strain on her hawse pipes. We fastened her behind the Eastern Queen with 300 fathoms of eight-inch maniln hawser, tying to the halter we had around her. Then we were off for Teokea and Tahiti. “We’d been out two days and the weather was holding fine. The Spee jacks was bobbing along behind us like a big cork on the end of a string. But I knew from the strain she was exert ing that if we hit any wind and weather the Speejacks was going to play havoc with that eight-inch hawser. So we hove to and put in a day chang ing the eight-inch hawser for a ten inch. “We got the big hawser out on deck and put one end overboard. Then we lowered a boat, which took charge of the loose end of the hawser. The small boat then rowed toward the Speejacks while we payed out hawser and slowly proceeded, pulling the Speejacks and f leaving the small boat behind. There were lots of sharks In that water, and if the men In the boat had slipped up anywhere they would have capsized in to the midst of them. But they didn’t. “We got the big hawser aboard the Speejacks, made a new bridle for it, and then took off the eight-inch haw ser—and there we were, all ready for anything, with 300 fathoms of ten-inch hawser instead of the lighter line. Luckily we did not strike any bad weather during the whole 4,200 miles. “Every day of the trip we could see the crew on deck of the Speejacks, keeping things In shape and enjoying their long pull. Mrs. Gowen was ofteu seen on the deck supervising things, and when we visited the yacht she was always having the time of her life, so she said, keeping her ‘house’ tidy and looking after her ‘hoys.’ At night they always had a big time aboard the Speejacks. They have a big phono graph, you know, and their wireless man broadcasted concerts to us.” The Speejacks is equipped with wire less apparatus capable of sending about 1,000 miles and with an unlim ited receiving range. After she left the Eastern Queen at Teokea she sen! several messages to Captain Swensen, telling him of her location and her progress. Reported “Lost.” “One funny little incident,” said the captain, “came on October 7, while we were in the middle of the Pacific. We picked up a message one night telling how a search was being Instituted for the Speejacks, which had been re ported lost somewhere in the Pacific. I believe I’ve got a copy of the mes sage somewhere.” He looked through a bundle of pa pers and dug out a penciled note which read: “Los Angeles—Search Pacific being instituted for private motor yacht Speejacks with Capt. and Mrs. Gowen and party aboard. Gowen's relatives announced sighting wreck, apparently abandoned, unidentified launch off Lower California, recently increased apprehension. Speejacks left New York for world tour In August last, reported leaving Cristobal for Honolulu ten days ago.

HELEN MAY MARTIN Miss Helen May Martin of Olathe, Kan., although deaf, dumb, and blind since birth, plans to be a self-support ing professional pianist, and indica tions are that she will be successful. Although she has been studying the piano for but four years, Miss Mar tin’s first public appearance recently was a decided success. With a sense of touch alone she has mastered thirty selections. In 1918 Miss Martin, then twenty-one, took her first lesson from a blind pianist who visited Olathe. This Bird Feasted on Valuable Stones ■■ ■ | Tacoma, Wash.—An ostrich that choked to death on a pine tree cone here was, after a post mortem examination, found to be a veritable jewel box. A pint of highly polished agates was taken from the proventriculus, a sort of stomach to which is at- ' tached the gizzard as the hop per to a mill, and a quantify of pure white pebbles of an un known stone. The agates had been used in the grinding proc ess of the bird’s digestion so many times they were rounded ' into perfect spheres and about the size of “shooter” marbles. ” There is no way to know just how long an ostrich keeps such stone-ware after picking it up, f but this bird was left here last | fall by an amusement company, i j Wherever the fastidious crea- ] l ture feasted it had eaten val- j t uable stones instead of ordinary 1 l gravel. ] Trevor Hogg, captain 1916 Prince tor eleven.” “When we got this message we wired the Speejacks, 300 yards away, and asked her if she was still with us. Then we wired Los Angeles that Spee jacks was O. K., still tied to us and proceeding without difficulty toward Tahiti. Also wired Gowen’s secretary in Chicago that newspaper reports were to be disregarded. “We cut loose from Speejacks about 90 miles off Teokea, 500 miles off Ta hiti. Then we went on to Pago Pago with our consignment of case oil and left it there for the Speejacks to pick up when she came along. Teokea is In the Tuomoto archipelago and Pago Pago is in Samoa, you know. I left oil at both places for Mr. Gowen. “So far as I kept track of her the Speejncks was keeping to her schedule in good shape. I heard from her at Teokea, Tahiti, Pago Pago, and Apia in Samoa, Silva in Fiji, Noumea in New Caledonia and Sydney. I heard a rumor nfter I left Sydney that Mr. Gowen’s drinking water went bad on him and that he had to put in some where to renew his supply; failed to find water and shlpped-a cargo of coco nut ; and that they lived on coconut milk till they got to water. I don’t believe it, though, as the Speejacks had a big fresh water supply and was equipped with a condenser to distill drinking water over from the salt if necessary.” Specially Built for It. Mr. Gowen had the Speejacks built specially in New York and he is sail ing her under the tlug of the Adven turers’ club. The proposed tour of the world will include approximately 50,(XX) miles and will take about 18 months for completion. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Gowen the boat has on board nine others, all men, including representa tives of the American Museum of Nat ural History and the National Geo graphic society, as well as the Field museum of Chicago. Capt. Trevor nogg, master or me snip, is an oia college mate of Mr. Gowen, and was captain of the Princeton eleven in 1910. The boat cost approximately $250,000 and is equipped for a cruising radius of 3,000 miles without renewal of sup plies. The last word received in New York from the Gowen party was a cable sent from Mr. Gowen at Ralaul, New Britain, to the Consolidated Shipbuild ers’ corporation. This wTas received several weeks ago, and said : “All well. Leaving today for Amboyna.” Am boyna is in the Malay archipelago. Rules for Longevity.

NEW WAY TO KILL DANDELIONS •X.--- ... -- Experts of University of Wisconsin Announce 'They Have Found a Method. Madison, Wis—The University of Wisconsin lists as among its greatest achievements the discovery of an ef fective “death to dandelions” treat ment. Twenty-four hours after announce ment of the discovery by the unlver city horticultural experts, thousands of letters were received inquiring for the details. The basis of the university’s new discovery is iron sulphate, commonly known as green vitriol. Full investi gation has shown its efficacy, it is said. The spray is made by dissolving iron sulphate, which is obtainable at any drug store, in water at the ratio of two pounds to a gallon of water. One gallon of this solution will spray 8C0 square feet of lawn. Three sprays are necessary every year, one In May, one In June and the third In the fall. Find Still on River Packet Boat.

The Young Mother. •THE TT.T.S OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN should be so well known to the * youngest of mothers that a reminder or a repetition of the symptoms of illness seems unnecessary, yet there are some mothers who overlook a feverish condition, a little colic, or a disposition to be irritable. If not corrected they may lead to serious sickness. And to correct them, to bring Baby back to its happy self, is so easy by the use of Castoria—a medicine prepared just for infants and children. It will regulate the bowels (not force tnem), aid digestion and so bring quiet and rest. Fletcher’s Castoria has been doing this for over 30 years; regulating the stomach and bowels of infants and children. It has replaced the nauseating Castor Oil, so-called Soothing Syrups, poisonous Paregoric and other vicious concoctions in the homes of true ana honest mothers—mothers who love their children. Those mothers will give their babies foods and medicines especially prepared for infants and children. fanptm#* Jenna JbeMJ** §£~ S£2K^__ .sssesssH ,«H Fpvrrishness ana g Exact Cop7 of Wrapper.
