of the Carpathia's thrilling race with
death. Se said the news of the dis-
aster had become known to the Cun-

men and women were lined along
the deck watching for the first sight
of the crippled Titanic.
"With the aid of glasses," Mrs.
Crane continued, "we soon sighted

to view was 'manned' by women.

sent for the chief engineer, told him
j to put on anothe* watch of stokers

officer to get out the life boats and
| be ready for any emergency. The

Carpathia I likewise instructed."
Arriving on the wreck scene Capt.
I Rostr.on testified he saw an iceberg
straight ahead of him, and, stopping
at 4 a. m., ten minutes later, he
j picked up the first life boat.

tain. "In a radius of four miles 1

twenty were 150 to 200 feet high.

Tears filling his eyes, Capt Ros-

told him I wanted to hold a service
of prayer-thanking for the living and
a funeral service for the dead. An
Episcopal clergyman waB found

As the prayers were being said,
Capt. Rostron testified he was on the
bridge searching for survivors. As he
searched the sea one body floated
by. The man was dead, probably a
member of the crew, the captain
said. The body was not picked up,
Rostron explained, "because the sur-
vivors of the Titanic were in no con-1

aboard."

Three Dead Sailors Picked Up.
i Three members of the Titanic's
'crew were taken from the life boats,
dead from exposure. They were bu-
ried at sea.
Captain Rostron said he found
one life boat among the wreckage in
the sea. The Titanic's life boats, he
said, were all new and in accordance
with the British regulations. The
Carpathia cruised around the disas-
jter scene more than half an hour,
having arrived an hour and a half
after the Titanic sank.
"The last message from the Ti-
tanic,'' said the captain, "was 'en-
gine room nearly full of water.' I

"Would you regard the couse tak-

| "What would be safe, reasonable

tain said, "and, therefore, can not
tell. I had seen no Ice before the
Titanic signalled us, but I knew from

went full speed ahead. I had extra

ECONOMY IN LIVING.
In these days of high prices It Is
well to remind ourselves that meat Is
an expensive luxury that can be cut
in two. We do not need bo ssuch me&t
as we usually hare served. A pound
of meat mixed with vegetables and
served as a stew will be as satisfying
as a fifty-cent steak which Is often
only half eaten and thrown out to the
dog «r into the garbage can.
We eat too much of proteid foods.
It has been often proven that well
masticated food eaten jjlowly will safe
isfy the appetite on a third less than
when It Is hurriedly eaten. The over-
amount taxes the bodily functions and
Is not only wasted but depletes the
system to remove It.
For brain workers easily digested
food should be chosen; rice, flsh, eggs
and custards are all good.
We want dishes that are good, whole-
some and appetizing, and they may he
prepared if thought and study Is put
upon the subject, at a great saving of
the pocket book and no difference la
the attractiveness of the table.
£odfish a la Mode.—Take a cup of
shredded codfish, two cups of mashed
potatoes, a pint of milk and two eggs
well beaten, a half cup of butter, pep-
per and salt; mix well and bake in a
buttered baking dish twenty minutes.
Mountain Dew.—Take a cup of
eracker crumbs rolled fine, the yolks
of three eggs and half a cup of sugar,
Juice and rind of a lemon,'three cups
of milk, and bake twenty minutes.
Beat the whites and put over the top
for frosting.
A well-equipped kitchen with all
the conveniences for housekeeping is
a great pleasure, but we must never
get so wedded to It that in an emer-
gency we can not get good results
with poor, or no tools at all
