Navy, was In town Tuesday, hav-[ tag been called home on account of I the illness of his wife who died on the 11th, leaving, besides her husband, a nine-day old infant. Mr. Howell enlisted about 12 months ago and has made one trip across the water. Talking with a Herald representative Mr. Rowell grr^a rather graphic description of his trip across the water. The first of last month he was sent over on a submarine destroyer and the trip was uneventful until his ship got into the submarine none. His vessel had several thrilling encounters with hostile craft and the skill and bravery shown by the American seaman was very credit KU Mo Pa?II , vu a difficult mark tor a submarine. Being a rather small boat It is easily maneuvered and the crew experiences little difficulty in evading * torpedo. Six men are kept on the watch night and day. the watch being relieved every four hours. Mr. Rowell says the moment a periscope appears above the water a six pound gun is trained on U and it the shell hits anywhere near the spot the explosive power is so great that it tears a hole ^ in the vessel. Allied how submarines were located on a dark night Mr. Rowell said the submarine periscope carries a seach-light in the end and the moment the periscope rises above the water the man on watch detects it. He said the submarine was useleas at night without the seurrh-light as the man in the submarine could not detect objects on the surface of the water without the light. Speak of conditions in England, Mr. Rowell aid the people whom he met seemed to be very much depressed. Business warxt a standstill and the store Shelves were practically empty. He said we had not felt the first touch of the war as yet; that it was pitiful to see old men and women standing Am loiaioaltot mroloo woo Mi m tM HdiJttwt M?Mo*M CM ? loot Boodoy ?mla| at 7:10 o'clock Tho yotor Dr. WMm B.

Nell Grant, who lived on Dr. f Piste's (orai, aoor Boy kin church, ktllod himself early yesterday mornI lac by blowtac the top of his head t off with a shotgun. Grant was about M yaarm old and loaves a wife and > several children; also some crown . children by a former wife. It Is said that he had been complaining a crest i deal recently about "hard timet/' ' his inability to support his family, and that ho had told his wife that something was going to happen. His wife says that ho called her yesterday morning and Jold her to get np and start a Are. She got up, | and finding that It was only 8:45, went baek to bed. About 5 o'clock Grant got up and started a fire. He then called Mrs. Grant and told her to get up and cook .breakfast. She got up and dressed and- went into the kitchen to start breakfast. In a few mlnutee she heard th? gun fire. She went to her husband and found him sitting in a chair, with the top of his head blown ofi. and holding a gun and a lire stick, with which he is supposed to hare pushed the trigger. Their little boy, who was in bed, says he saw his father get the gun and sit down and place the muscle against his forehead, when it fired. Coroner McRae and Sheriff Patterson were notified and went to investigate. They decided that an inquest was unnecessary. They found Grant's body still sitting in the chair. The load of shot entered the forehead, Just above the nose, send blew all the front of th? hsait off. The brains were scattered on the ceiling and all over the room. Search for Sankm Treasurer Coming After til* War Some of the greatest hidden treasure hunts evar known will begin when peace is declared. Then attempts will be made to retrieve the precious cargoes of the hundreds of ships that have been sent to the bottom through sea warfare, observes London Answers. According to Lord Beresford. since the war began more than 2,300 British, Allied and neutral ships have been sunk. This represents a tonnage "/jtfTtjlJlV""*kiv more than 4,000,000. Of I nTTTnir Ollt f~-I ' the cargo of some of these ships was plWBKabl l and of comparatively trifling value; * but mar were almost priceless argosies. 9 Sold anu precious stones and rare pottery and fabrics from India; more gold and precious stones from South 1 Africa; still more gold, silver, and " -a- ? . - - uuiuuuub, copper ana _W4d front South America; silks and velvets, * from China; and, nearer home, quicksilver, copper, silk and oils from Spain. Much of this treasure, which was continuously pouring on to the f shores of Britain in the early days - of the war, is now lying in hundreds 1 of shattered bulks in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Mediterranean and the In" dian Ocean. r The law relating to the recovery of 3 property from the sea?"treasure 1 trove"?is very obscure and difficult 5 to interpret. With regard to vessels wrecked near the coast, whose carr goes may be washer ashore, there is, ' at a rule, no difficulty ubout estab" lishing the ownership of the vessel * and they are entitled to recover their 1 property after all salvage rights have ? been satisfied. But with regard to wrecks on the . high seas a very difficult problem will i confront the Nation when peace - comes, especially when it is rememI bered that thousands of vessels have 1 gone to the bottom, and in many cases there are no records of where - they were lost. f But what is to prevent many adventurous spirits with money from r equipping treasure hunting expedi tlons after the war? Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson never wrote - of such riches as now lie buried in the bosom of the ocean. t And what princely days they will be for divers! Of late years experi8 enced drivers have w-i ??>i? ? --? ~ WW. autc iu ?ai u from to $25 to $500 a week while en1 gaged on a big and risky commission . But after the war divers ought to l be able to make large fortunes and a easily eclipse any previous records, t Probably the vast majority of the wrecks will be beyond their reach?in fathomless depths. But others that lie near the coasts, not a great many fathoms down, will offer a strong s temptation. s The record depth reached by divers in modern times was achieved by two British naval officers, who got down to 210 feet, where the pressure was j 90 pounds to the square lneh?a terrl i flc weight to bear.?Evening World. o Card of Thanks Editor of the Herald: Will you please allow me space In your paper to thank through The Herald my many friends for their kindness in helping me to win the handsome "Detroit Vapor Store" in the Herald's Auto Contest.

Grocers will be urged to inaugrate a "potatoes day" each week, selecting what ever day is slack in deliveries and making a special price for potatoes delivered on that day. Housewives will be &Bked to buy potatoes, a week's supply, on each potato day. The Administration wishes to place the Irish potato, every day in the year, on every table in America. The Food Administration declares that it is necessary right now as a war measure for everybody to eat potatoes and also to purchase them in ITo Those ^ _ ifc?if real with a i I beg to anno Marlboro and Agency for ' <\ should see Seri it is a beauty glad to have y< it over.
