The Price Fiend.
Once there was a concern which
manufactured what they were pleastd
to call "silver" spoons. There
was a dealer who bought largely
from them, but was always clamoring
for a lower price.
"But I can't lower the price," the
manufacturer would say, "unless I
put in more leacl."
"Oh, well, more lead by all
means," the dealer would say.
Some time later the dealer wired
that he would take an enormous
consignment if the price were cut
another ten per cent.
"Can't cut price another penny,"
the manufacturer wired back.
"Put in more lead," wired the
dealer.
"Impossible," was the reply, "last
lot shipped you were all lead."?

TRAPPED IX A SUBMARINE.
And How a Trapped Sailor Made His
Escape.
The story of a restless English
schoolboy who listened wearily as
his teacher talked "Boyle's law and
Arehimede's principles" and later
thanked his lucky stars, is told in
the March number of Popular Science
.Monthly, by Joseph Brinker:
"What was Boyle or the laws that
gasces and liquids under pressure
obey to him?
"The time came, ten years later,
when they meant life or death to
him. It happened during the war,
when he was on the crew of a British
submarine..
"His boat was lying idly on the
surface of the water. All of the officers
and crew except himself were
enjoying a holiday ashore. He went
below to work in the engine room
and left the conning tower hatch
open. Then something happened?
the young man never knew just
what?and the boat lurched down by
tne dow.
"He thought of the conning tower
hatch, and rushed forward to close
it. But the water was already pouring
in with such force that he was
unable to accomplish his purpose.
He returned aft to the engine room
and locked himself in by means of
a watertight door which separated
the boat into two compartments.
"He was safe temporarily, but
the other half of the boat was filling
with water and the submarine was
sinking lower and lower.
"The engine room was in complete
darkness, due to the short-cir6uiting
of the electric system. Everything
he touched shocked him.
"The salt water on the storage
batteries generating suffocating chlorine
gas. He rushed blindly at the
engine room hatch and tried to force
it open. But his strength was no
match for the pressure of the water
outside; and, even if he had
been able to open it, he would have
been no better off, for the water
would have rushed in and drowned
him before he could possibly get
out.
"Realizing that his last chance
was gone he grew quite calm and, as
is the custom of dying folk, reviewed

ought not to have done while here
.on earth.
As he came to that day in school
when he unwillingly learned of pressure
he stopped. Water, gas. pressure?what
about them?
"TTien he remembered that, in the
case of a body submerged in water,
the combined force of gas within and
the strength of the body material
must equal the force of the water
without, or the water would crush
the body in. Just -so the combined
force of the air in the submarine
I
and ..the steel hatch equaled the force
of the -water pressing down on it. If
he could make the force of the air
t
in the boat equal to the pressure of
the water on the boat, then the hatch
would be relieved of the strain of
holding off the water and would be
easily lifted.
"How could he increase thtf force
of the afr? Then he thought of
Boyle's law, which he had been forced
to memorize on the long-ago
schoolday?the volume of a gas varies
inversely with its pressure. If
he decreased the volume of the gas
in the submarine he might increase
the pressure enough to make it
equal that of the water. This done

and consequently easily moved.
"His next problem was how to decrease
the volume of the air. There
was only one way to do
this?by letting the water in.
If he did that he would be
taking a last desperate chance,
for he did not know how much compressing
the air needed before it
would exeh a force equal to that of
the water outside. If this failed him,
he would drown without a doubt.
"He decided to take the chance
So groping in the dark, he opened
the bilge valve and let the water in.
As it crept up about his waist he
philosophically decided that he would
much rather drown than suffocate
anyway. But when it reached his
waist he grew somewhat nervous and
thought he'd better try the hatch.
"He pushed against it, and it
opened slightly; but it slammed shut
again crushing his fingers, for the
pressure of the air was not yet great
enough to resist the water without
the aid or tne natcn.
"Nursing his injured fingers he
waited stoically until the water in
the engine room reached the hatch
coaming. Then with just head above
water, his eardrums strained from
the compressed air, he made a final
.attempt to raise the unwilling hatch.
"His patience, bravery and coolheadedness
were rewarded. At last
the air was compressed enough to
equal the force of the water and the
hatch moved easily.
"After helping him thus far,
physics decided to see him through.
The compressed air in the submarine
repelled the water which was trying
J hard to pour in and drown him. The
WHALEY SHOWS UP CLARK.
Would Have Him State Position on <
the league.
Washington. March 21.?Congressman
Richard Whaley, who is a ,
member of the Democratic reorgani- .
zation executive committee of the ,
house, today issued a statement again i
calling attention to the fact that ;
Speaker Clark has not publicly taken
a position on the League of Nations,
and suggesting that he will be
forced into advocacy of the League
by party sentiment and the action of
Democrats in the Missouri legislature
in demanding the resignation 01
Senator Reed. Mr. Whaley also emphasized
the partiality exhibited for
Mr. Clark by reactionary Republicans,
notably Mr. Mann.

air shot upward with great force,
taking the sailor along with it to the
surface of the water and leaving him
there breathless.
"After he had righted himself and
shaken the water from his eyes he
looked about and saw, at a little
distance away, a friendly destroyer, j
which soon picked him up.
"Such an experience must surely,
force on any man a great respect for:
school teachers?and fate."
SLAIX BY NEGRO CONVICT.
Fatal Shot Fired Near Spartan burg, j
Posse Makes Search.
' I
Spartanburg, March 20.?A posse;
composed of Sheriff W. J. White, j
county and city police officers and at
large number of Spartanburg men;
are tonight scouring the country in j
the neighborhood of Cowpens for!
Ivey Littlejohn, who this morning!
shot and fatally wounded J. S. Hoi-!
bert, a native of Hendersonville, N. i
C., who was engaged with convict la-;
bor in constructing a concrete bridgej
on the National highway about four j
miles west of this city. Thus far the j
negro has not been located, but it is!
believed that his arrest will come before
morning.
Littlejohn shot Mr. Holbert this
, morning after he had slipped up behind
the guard, struck him over the
head with a stone and then removed
the pistol from Mr. Holbert's pocket.
Mr. Holbert was found a few minutes
'later and brought to a hospital here,
but the bullet had taken a fatal
course and death came at 11 o'clock
this morning. The coroner's jury
this afternoon returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased came to
his death at the hands of Ivey Littlejohn.
Mr. Holbert was a native of Hendersonville
and is survived by his
widow and several children. The re-'
> mains were taken to Hendersonville
1 this afternoon for interment.
Two other convicts escaped with
' Littlejohn, but they later voluntarily |
surrendered and declared that JLit- i
tlejohn had forced them to flee.
