OTAY OR BUST
-Otay did Bust
—Continued From Page three—
the same number of persons of each
family found in need. Ensign Bry
an borrowed a horse and made a
tour of the valley, over to PalmCity,
Nestor, while Boatswain Roberts
penetrated as far as he could to
ward Tia Juana Valley. The first
day rations were issued to about
130 persons and each day after
varying from 70 !o 120. Arrange
ments having been • made that the
second day (Sunday, the flood hav
ing occured about dark the proceed
ing Thursday) to have stores in suf
ficient quantities sent out each day
the food proposition was well at
tended to. On Monday great quan
tities of clothing (donated by the
good people of San Diego) cots, mat
resses and blankets were sent out
These were welcome as we had not
received our haversacks or knap
sacks, they having been returned to
the ship in the boats the first night.
We as well as the people who had
suffered losses were from then on
well taken care of.
“It is not the intention of the
writer to mention the names of any
of the bluejackets of the party for
each man having done his share of
the work nobly it would be hard to
pick any one man for special men
tion, for let it be said that every
man in the party, both with the
boats and at Otay, stood the hard
ships and long hours of work with
out a grumble and every one had a
kind and cheering word for every
one they met who had suffered in
any way from the flood. And the
writer having been thrown in with
the people of Otay considerably
during our entire stay only praise,
and a great deal of that, was given,
it having been their first encounter
with the navy and from conversa
tion I might add that they found us
just 100 per'cent above their highest
expectations of what the navy was
composed of in any way.
“Space does not permit a detailed
account of all that ensued, but ra
tions were issued each day to the
needy as well as clothing and bed
ing. The people of Otay who were
not reached by the flood showed a
noble spirit in caring for the many
who were made homeless and the
hardships were greatly lessened by
their taking in the needy.
“Those who could lent valuable !
assistance to the Officers and men
in the distribution of food, etc. and ’
in lending horses and wagons for ■
transportation of food stuff to the
outlying territory.
“The person mentioned as discov
ering the first body and the person
who volunteered to go overboard
and loosen the anchor were one and
the same—the writer—and believe
me, kind folks, that water was cold,
muddy and was running so swift
that diving free of the anchor chain
was impossible.

HE WAS GIVEN THAT WHICH
WAS COMING TO HIM
Father Spurns Body of Spy Son
Laid at His Home Door
AMSTERDAM,—(Further details
are reported from the Belgian fron
tier of the assassination of Nels de
Rode, the Belgian, who is alleged
to have betrayed Miss Edith Cavell,
the English nurse executed at Brus
sels, to tlie German authorities.
According to this story, the body
of a young man who had been kil
led by two revolver shots, was
found in a street at Sehaarbeek, a
suburb of Brussels, early one inornT
ing. He was at once recognized
as De Rode, a man of 25 years, a
son of a retired Belgian major of
the Belgian army. The body lay i
at the door of the man’s parents, j
but the father refused to receive it. |
and it was taken to the public mor- j
tuary.
Immediately the German author
ities heard of the case they gave ;
strict orders that the affair should :
be kept as quiet as possible, but
instructed the police at the same
time to make every effort to dis
cover the assassin. The news spread
like wildfire, however, and before
noon all Brussels knew that a man
had been put to death.
The slain man it is said had
been suspected for a long time of
spying for the Gemans. It was
reported that he, together with an
individual of the same stamp, had ;
made a specialty of enticing young
men to take service in the Belgian
army and then, when they were on ;
th point of leaving the country, de- j
livering them to the Germans.
But recently it is said, proof had |
been obtained that it was De Rode
who betrayed Miss Cavell to the !
Germans as well as Architect Baucq
who was put to death with her.
From that moment De Rode’s
death sentence was signed. There
is, it appears a sort of society in
Belgium whose members have sworn
to levy “justice” on those who do
spying service for the Germans.
Those who shot De Rode are said to
have found papers on him that
would enable them to trace other j
such spies.
In reply to this challenge Gen.
von Bissing, the German governor
of Belgium, not only imposed a fine :
of 812,000 on Brussels, but levied
an equal amount against Schaar
beek where it was committed.

FLYING THROUGH THE AIR
CURRENTS OF THE NILE
In a recent letter to Nature some !
interesting experiences of M. Mc
Lean are described. During his
flight up the Nile he found that the
vertical air currents were frequent
ly very marked. When the wind j
was only slightly different in di- :
rection from the line of the river ■
here was a down current on the
other side.
When, however, the river split up i
into several channels the air was j
generally descending over the whole j
neighborhood and was disturbed.
These down currents were at :
times so strong that his aeroplane j
when climbing at its greatest
speed would descend steadily at S
feet per second. He estimates that j
the maximum rate of climbing of ;
his machine in still air was 4 feet
per second.

THEDA BARA §
A FEATHERED BOMB
- •
M. Guerre, the inventor of an ex
plosive projectile for destroying air
craft in the shape of a combined
bomb and arrow, recently made
some interesting trials of it from
the Solferino bridge in Paris. The
projectile consists of a small and
very light bomb with a very sensi
tive detonator which can be set
just before throwing.
In the rear of the shell or head is
a guiding piece with "feathers," re
sembling a short arrow. Several of
the projectiles were thrown from
the bridge down on a bed of sand
on the quay, and they took fire
at once, exploding at the same time.
Such a bomb would no doubt do
great damage to an airship, and it
is well adapted for use in an attack
of aeroplanes upon airships for
instance.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
(By Helen Rowland in P.-I.)
No doubt even Satan would tell
you that he went to Hades “for a
woman.”
In leap year it takes all a bache
lor’s preparedness to dodge the sen
timental Zeppelins and keep out of
matrimony.
A lover is a man who is willing to
pose as your slave today in order
that he may be your sultan tomor
row.
Most husbands have a charge ac
count with their wives in which
they are credited with a lot more
bad things than they ever did and
a lot more good ones than they ever
dreamed of doing.
-♦
A true poet is a man who can see
more with his eyes closed than he
can with them open, hear more in
the silence of solitude than in all
the music of the metropolitan.
Matrimony is a surgical operation'
by which one has one’s vanity re
moved without an anaesthetic.
-»
It is a psychological fact that we j
get just what we are looking for in
this world. That’s why the egotist
gets all the flattery and the modest
man gets* nothing but self-respect.
-♦
After a woman has been lubricat
ing a man’s vanity with oil and
honey for 365 days of the year he
needs a little temperamental papri
ka on the 366th to stimulate him.
The flower of a man’s love is
apt to fade like a morning glory
the moment the sun of a woman’s
smile becomes warm and glowing.

RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.
To half pint of water add 1 oz. Bay
Rum, a small box of Barbo Compound,
and K oz. of glycerine. Apply to the hair
twice a week until it becomes the desired
shade. Any druggist can put this up or
you can mix it at home at very little cost.
Full directions for making and use come
in each box of Barbo Compound. It will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray
hair, and removes dandrufT. It is excel
lent for falling hair and will make harsh
hair soft and glossy. It will not color the
scalp. Is not sticky or greasy, and does not
rub off.
