All it usually costs to relieve the
misery of a cold today—is 3/ to 5/
— relief for the period of your cold
151 to 25/. Hence no family need
neglect even minor head colds.
Here is what to do: Take two
BAYER tablets when you feel a
cold coming on — with a full glass
of water. Then repeat, if necessary,
according to directions in each
package. Relief comes rapidly.
The Bayer method of relieving
colds is the way many doctors ap-
prove. You take Bayer Aspirin for
relief — then if you are not im-
proved promptly, you call the
family doctor. __

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB
HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF!
“Death in Two Tanks’’■ ’■’U'.-v
; By FLOYD GIBBONS T
Famous Headline Hunter
UELLO EVERYBODY:
n Well, sir, we have Bill Schulz with us today—Bill Schulz
of Woodside. We’re glad to have him here—and Bill is a dog-
goned sight gladder than we are, even. Because if Bill were not
here he’d be pushing up the daisies in a nice quiet park full of
tombstones. That can be said of most any of us adventurers,
of course, but it’s particularly true of Bill.
BUI was working in a garage, and it was the faU of 1918. The garage
was in Fifty-fourth street between Sixth and Seventh avenues. It isn’t
there now—unless they rebuilt it. And BiU Schulz is lucky that they
didn't have to do some rebuilding work on him.
It was a good-sized garage—that place Bill worked in. They did
a lot of major repair work, and as a consequence there was a lot of ma-
chinery around the place. On the morning that this adventure hap-
pened BiU was fixing up a wrecked car that had a badly bent frame.
A crew of welders had come in from outside to help him, and they had
brought their own apparatus, consisting of a hand truck on which wera
mounted two tanks.
One of those tanks contained oxygen—the other acetylene gas.
The welders did some work on the bent frame, and went off to
take care of another job, leaving their apparatus behind. And just
about the time they left Frank Lawter came into the room
where Bill was working.
Deadly Mixture of Gases.
Frank Lawter was a battery repairman at the garage. He had run
short of acetylene—which he used to burn out the pitch in storage bat-
teries—and he came in to see if he could get a little out of the tank the
welders had left behind them. BiU was busy, so he told Frank to
help himself.
Frank went out and got an empty oxygen tank, in which he intended
to get the acetylene. At least Frank THOUGHT that oxygen tank was
empty, and if such were the case, everything would have been aU right.
There Was a Terrific Explosion.
But the fact was that the tank was a brand new one—fully charged
with oxygen. Frank had got hold of the wrong tank.
Standing about eight feet away from where BiU was working, Frank
started to couple the two tanks together with a piece of copper tubing.
He asked Bill for a wrench to fasten the couplings, and BUI, stUl busy, told
him where he could find one. Then, after fastening the couplings up
tight, he turned on the valves of both tanks.
WeU, sir, oxygen and acetylene, alone in their respective
tanks, are a fairly respectable pair of gases. But mixed togeth-
er they form one of the most inflammable and explosive com-
pounds that you will find anywhere. And they were sure being
mixed up in that hookup of tanks that Frank had arranged.
The tank valves hadn’t been open more than ten seconds when Bill
Schulz smelled gas. Then he looked over and saw what Frank was
doing. Immediately he caught the situation and shouted to Frank to get
away from those tanks before they blew. At the same time he dropped
his work, sprang to his feet, and took one step forward.
There Was a Terrific Explosion.
What BUI had intended to do was to grab Frank and drag him away
bodily from the danger area. But it was too late. He took just one step
forward—and there was a terrific explosion!
AU the thunder in the world seemed to come together in one
great, resounding roar. The ground shook—the buihJmg rocked
and swayed. The garage roof lifted completely off its steel gir-
der beams, and the walls cracked and tumbled in.
BiU was picked up by the force of the explosion and catapulted across
the floor. For thirty-two feet he flew through the air. Then he landed-
hard—but on something that was soft—a pile of cotton waste stacked in
one corner of the garage. He sat there in a daze for a minute, wonder-
ing if he had been hurt. He didn’t feel any pain. HE DIDN’T FEEL ANY-
THING!
That’s what frightened BiU. There wasn’t ■ bit of sensation in his
whole body—had there been he would have known that he was ahve and
had a chance to recover. But this business of having no feelings at all—
it was just too much like being dead.
BiU sat like that for a minute. Then he began to lose con-
sciousness. Dying? BiU was very much afraid so. And that
was the last he knew for a while.
Thought His Arms Were Gone.
Meanwhile the whole neighborhood had felt the force of the explosion.
Windows were shattered for a mile around. Fire apparatus—emer-
gency patrol cars—ambulances, came flying to the spot from aU direc-
tions. They put BiU in one of the ambulances and carried him off to
the hospital. Poor Frank Lawter went off to the morgue. He had been
killed instantly.
When BiU regained consciousness he felt numb aU over. “Where are
my arms?" he asked the ambulance doctor who was working over him.
For it felt to him as if his arms—both of them—were gone. It was a
long time before he would believe the doctor when he told him that
his arms were there all right—that he was only suffering from shock.
BiU is just as sound as ever now, after a month in bed—and his
only regret is that he couldn’t have saved Frank Lawter.

Claimed Exemptions From Draft
During the CivU war immigrants
who had not become naturalized
filed claims for exemptions from
the drafts. To counteract this, pa-
triotic organizations made appeals
for volunteers and endeavored to
raise troops among their own peo-
ple. In Cincinnati, Ohio, German
and Irish organizations held meet-
ings to denounce aliens trying to es-
cape the draft and to ask their lead-
ers to raise troops.
Portraitist Supreme
Rembrandt, 1606-1669, was a
Dutch miUer's son who became the
greatest portraitist in history of
art. He was a huge success at
twenty-one. For years he lavished
great wealth on his famUy and
friends, and paid extravagant
sums for other artists’ pictures. One
by one he lost love, riches, family,
prestige. He died alone and forgot-
ten in Amsterdam slums. He loved
to paint himself and friends dressed
in “prop’’ costumes from his stu-
dio.
The “Rich Port”
Porto Rico, one of the earUest of
Spanish American colonies, has en-
dured since its settlement by Ponce
de Leon more than four centuries
ago, as the “Rich Port,” the name
that Christopher Columbus gave it
on its discovery. Its history in the
development of the Americas is
shared only by the Dominican Re-
pubUc, where the early Spanish set-
tlers established their first govern-
mental base.
Perfection
The great Italian sculptor, Michel-
angelo, was once visited by an ac-
quaintance, who remarked, on en-
tering his studio: “Why, you have
done nothing to that figure since I
was here last.” “Yes,” was the
reply; “I have softened this expres-
sion, touched off that projection, and
made other improvements." “Ohl”
said the visitor, “those are mere
trifles.” “True,” answered Michel-
angelo, “but remember that trifles
make perfection; and perfection it
no trifle.”

as interested in handwork and just
as thrifty as all of her New Eng-
land ancestors who have preceded
her there. She still makes braided
rag rugs from discarded gar-
ments and they harmonize per-
fectly with her lovely old furni-
ture. One that she showed me
was different than any I had ever
seen. Here are all the dimensions
and method of making it in case
it is new to you, too, and you
would like to make one like it.
The center oval part is 32 inches

The scrolls are made in pairs

Afghan That's Smart
and Easy to Crochet
You will love to have this choice
afghan, made of just a simple
square. Joined, it forms an ef-
fective design. There are a va-
riety of other ways of joining it,
all given in the pattern. Use three
colors of Germantown or make
half the squares in one set of col-
ors, the other in another with
background always the same. In
long. These strips are braided
tight so they are not more than
% inch wide. The center of each
strip is marked as shown here at
A and the ends are then sewn
around and around, working to-
ward the center as at B. The
pairs of scrolls are sewn together
and also to the edge of the rug as
indicated here at the lower right.
This kind of rug has infinite pos-
sibilities for color schemes. One
seen had a blue center, a band
of mixed color and then a wide
band of red. The pairs of scrolls
alternated red and blue.

chair seat covers shown in this
sketch are in the book offered
