"uajr, jr., cashier. Water sports In the United State hare never been bo safe as they are today, a survey of the work done by Life-Saving experts of the American Red Cross In the past year Indicates. Thousands of adults and young peo ple were taught to swim proficiently hy these experts during this period. In addition, 5.6S1 men, 4,137 women, and 13.024 Juniors successfully passed the rigid teats of the Life Saving Ser vice of the Red Cross. The total thus trained during the year 22.892 -4f 6.041 more than hist year's results. The total membership of the Life Sav ing Corps of the Red Cross o Jane 10 was 71.810 persons. Mettng the demand (or qualified instructors and councillor In these camps, are the college men and women of the century, maay devoting whole or part of their annual vacation peri ods to this field. Meeting the need of standardised Instruction In Llfe Saving, First-Aid, and kindred sub jects, the American Red Cross con ducted nine First Aid and Life-Saving Camp Institutes this year with a total attendance of more than 600, in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, North Car olina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, and California. Representatives of Red Cross Chapters, summer camps, life guards at municipal pools and beach es, directors of physical education in schools, and others of this calibre made up the student body. A number of city or regional insti tutions were conducted also during the winter at indoor pools to develop local experts. The aquatic school con ducted by the New York Chapter was especially successful, it is stated. In spired by this system, many camps, pools, bathing beaches, etc., have adopted In whole or in part, the Red Cross Life Saving and water-safety program. In the New England states alone, more than ISO camps employ councillors trained in these methods. A partial survey Indicates more than 80 cities using the Red Cross senior test as a minimum requirement for their municipal life guards. Educa tional institutions have turned to it with enthusiasm. This widespread Instruction be sides creating unprecedented numbers of expert life-savers, Is developing a vast body of Americans who are at home In the water All contributes to safety the year-round, for swim ming is a recognired all-year sport today, records show. The danger fro-n water accidents Is ever-present however where proper safeguards arc not taken and to broaden this valuable Red Cross Rer vice Is one of the reasons why In creased membership in the Red Cross Is urged The Annual Roll Call, dur ing which the opportunity to assist all Red Cross work in many lines of endeavor Is extended, will be held from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, November 11-26. Large Volunteer Work of Red Croet Volunteers under the Red Cross all over the United States are doing con slantly for others, among their prod ucts being more than 90 per cent oJ the Braille reading matter for the blind, and a vast production of cloU lug and surgical dressings. I vnauicr, Called Gat "Wild Spirit" John Baptist Van Helmont, a cfcem Ist of Brussels, born in 1577. is cred ited with the first recorded scientific observation of gas. He noted that his heated crucibles did "belch forth a wild spirit, or breath," which he called geest" or "ceist" the Dutch and German for ghost or spirit. That is how gas got Its name. Van Helmont was searching for a weans to turn base metuls to gold. Had he found a method and transmit ted the formula to his successors it is doubtful If the world would have been greatly benefited. On the other hand his "wild siiirlt." now tamed and at the command of the humblest household, is a dailv and hourly necessity in hundreds of thou sands of homes. It Rupnlleg all the lieat required in huge factories, and Is equiillv agitable for a alngJe jet.

Nov 12 While looking over some old pa pers for a client of his recently At torney M. Leslie Davis ran across an original grant bearfng the date of January the 23rd. 1713. This old grant, beautifully written on a piece of sheep's skin, was from the Lords Proprietors to Edmond Gale. It wag for a tract of 300 acres on Bogue Sound, then known as Newport Sound, and Broad Creek. The sig- j nature of Thomas Pollock who was then Governor of the colony appear; on the document. There are sever al other signatures on the grgant but most of them are too faint to be read with the naked eye. It is stated in the document that one half of all gold and silver found on the lund must go to the Lord Proprietors The privilege of hunting, hawking and fishing was given to Mr. Gale and he was to pay an annual "fee rent for the property. Another rather interesting paper found in the box by Mr. Davis was a bill of sale for one sixth interest in a negro boy named Enoch. This sale was made by Clayton C. Garner to John S. Garner and $100 was the amount paid. The date was June the first, 1849. The bill of sale gave a .warranty title for the one sixth in the boy but as the slaves were eman cipated not many years afterwards the warranty ws not worth much. .Oav N.
