applies this principle. Affection has
no cash value in the market, religion
has none. Business cannot pay for
affection or religion. But it can recog-
nize the fact that these are of value
and that the person who has cash to
invest may also have affection and re-
ligion, which he does in the act of in
vesting cash; and that in similar
sense the laborer who accepts an OPP
portunity to labor does not by that act
dispose of all his values as a person.
Further, no person is separated from
his rights and responsibilities as
person by transactions which have to
do only with the things which he con-
trolls. The person who controls either
money or labor is responsible to the
public as a person, and must be con-
sidered as such apart from the things
which he controls.
In the preventing of strikes it is
necessary to deal with such questions
as wages and conditions of labor as
business propositions. The amount or
cash to be paid for a days labor must
depend on the cash value of the prod
uct of such labor. This is a business
proposition. But somewhere in the
transaction there is involved some
thing that has to do with the persons
who perform the labor and the persons
the responsibilities of business end the
responsibilities of persons begin.
Hence, any proposition which has to do
with the industrial proposition is
fair proposition to be considered by
either the business or the persons who
control it. And the industrial courts,
in dealing with the mixed problems OF
business and philanthropy, must have
sufficient authority to prevent the laps
f1egrN
from things to persons or vice versa.
Courts having authority to deal with
industrial problems as mixed problems
of business and philanthropy and au-
thority to pass to either side of the di-
viding line in their investigations and
decisions can prevent strikes or end
them if they have also the power to
enforce their authority. And the sub
stance of this plan is that each state.
and also the federal government, shall
establish such courts with such au-
thority and power.

weather bow a distant but fast ap-
nroaching wall of greenish gray, its
white top apparently licking the low
hanging clouds.
He does see at last, but too late.
The ship gives a quick lurch, a heave,
attempts to rise to the oncoming bill
low, but fails. High UP, level with
the fore yard, towers the white crest.
For one GREATNESS moment to those
aft it seems to hesitate, lifts, leans for
ward, then falls, crashing down on
the whole ford part of the ship. From
rail top to rail top the main deck HIS
in an instant, each mast the center or
a whirlpool of yeasty foam. Then, as
the ridge of the wave passes under the
ship, she lurches, rolls over to wind
ward into the hollow beyond, dumping
her deckload of seething water over
her weather bulwarks into the sea.
If you were to put a dry pea into an
empty saucepan, and then souSe
bucket of water over it, you would un-
derstand what happened to Sam Har-
land, able seaman. His shipmates saw
him. struggling in the foam, saw him
slowly sucked towards the bulWarks,
then shot across their top into the re-
f1uX Of the sea outside.
What they felt is not part of the
story; such accidents occur aften, and
seamen are not prone to describe their
emotions Man overheard. Sam Har-
land, able seaman, lost at sea Oct. g."
Such notes are common in log books

and brought her hove to under lower
topsails.
The ordinary 1andsman doesn't
quite realize what storm in those
regions, at that time of year, means.
Sailing is impossible-the ship that
simply holds her own against those
giant midsea pillows is doing we'll.
She is stripped of all but three or four
heavy storm sails, enough to give her
the necessary steerageway to keep
her nose pointed towards the oncom-
ing seas, so that they shall not strike
broadside on.
Thus had the Howard been hove to
for three days, meeting each foam
capped billow with an upward toss of
her bows, sometimes showing her
nose deep into the green seas, sending
ponderous cascades laundering down
from her forecastle head, flooding the
main deck to the cabin aft. Some
times the forecastle, an iron house on
the deck, would be entirely submerged,
and then the men of the watch below,
who lay in upper hunks, could behold
the sea through the plate glass port
holes, as you see in an aquarium, cast
ing sickly green light over their bag
gard faces and giving them death
like pallor. With a gurgling roar the
water WOulQ drop ana spread alt, anu
good, wholesome light of day come in
again.
Aft on the poop were gathered the
officer and the men of the watch on
deck, a dozen oilskinned figures
clutching the lifelines rugged from
rail to rail. Thus they stood, four
hours at time, drenched, gazing stol-
idly at the whirl of spray and scud
about them, with nothing to do, only
to stand by. The man at the wheel
was dashed to his post; his duty it was
to keep the helm jambed hard over.
Such is the sailors school of physical
endurance.
One bell struck-on the poop. Even
that old martinez, the skipper, would
expect no man to strike it ford, for
the bell on the 'forecastle head clangs
sullenly at intervals in low throaty
notes, as the roaring torrents pour

over it. Bad enough it is for the man
to dodge ford in the first lull to the
lee door Of the forecastle, to jerk those
drowsy fellows Of the other watch out
Of their few hours of slumber.
"Ho-o-o, ho-o-oo, ho-ooo, all hands
ahoy! Awake, We sleepers! One bell!"
With sleepy yawns and drawing
curses, the men drop out of their
hunks to their chests, and slowly, re-
luctantly, in sullen silence, climb into
their oilskins, while the seas bang the
weather wall Of the forecastle like
shells from heavy guns.
Eight bells!-relieve the watch!"
Aye, eight bells; but the watch has yet
to wait a while, for no mortal man
could wade those flooded decks from
ford to aft. Sea after sea. green and
white, pour over the bulwarks, like the
breaking of a big dam.
Finally comes another lull. The ship
pauses as though to rest, while the
tons of water on deck shoot out
through the hawserpipe and scupper.
Once more the deck Is visible, covered
only by the foam-rimmed sheets of rip
ping water. The lee door of the fore
castle flies open, and one by one the
men shoot out. like bees from hive,
and scurry aft, fairly throwing them
selves up the poop ladder.
All hands are aft-all bat one. Old
Sam Harland, able seaman, fingers to
fill his pipe, as he invariably does, in
fair weather or foul. Creeping Sam
they call him. At last he crawls out,
shuts the forecastle door atd starts aft.
Suddenly all hands shout and ges-
ticulate to him. He sees, but the
shouts are lost in the roar of the. gale.
Slowly he waddles aft, unconscious Of
his danger, Were he to- fook behind
him he would see coming up on the

How New Bedford Official Appealed to

tax collector of New Bedford softened the
blow of his last call to definquents by
publishing the following as an official no

Z, 1920:
: The treasurer of the town presents
His most respectful compliments
TO those who have not paid their rate
AS former advertisements state;
TO warn them that the days are spent
Wherein the town allowed per cent
That, therefore, no abatement may
Be made on taxes yet to pay.
And next. the law directs a call
On tax delinquentS-one and all.
In writing. at their own expense.

And, then. if not within ten days
Thus called upon. his TAX he pays,
The Constable must be epjoined
TO make distraint for all behind.
This method has the law provided.

The ship was drifting, and having
so much surface exposed to the wind,
she naturally sagged to leeward faster

But the odds were against him. Fur

from him, catching only an occasional
glimpse of his naked shoulders as he
mounted. the seas and toppled over
their crests. The skipper had brought
up the log line and tried to heave the
metal fan with its coil of thin cord,
but, strong of arm as he was, it went
not even one-third the distance. He
threw it down on deck and turned
away.
Again came, one of those booming
rollers. They saw the drowning man
mount it's slope until he was struggling
in the hollow curve under the combing
top. On it came. he in it. With a
heave the big ship shot upward and
they saw him in the hollow beyond. He
seemed to have been hurled nearer. and
this caused intense excitement.

true version.
. The big four-masted bark Henry B.

general cargo for San Francisco. This
brought her around the Horn in Au-
gust and UP to the North Pacific in
October, bad time of year, just when
4he equinoctial storms are brewing.

now, saw his white face, his clenched
Jaws, his powerful arms beating the
waves. By this time he had freed him
self of his clothes. But except that ne
kept himself up, he was helpless; IKE
a block of wood he was Whlrled ABOUT
and tossed up and down-ground by
the waves as though they were indeed
chewing well before swallowing.
Then he suddenly disappeared. For
five minutes the men stood, stlll
clutching the rail. Instinctively they
bowed their heads, as men do in the
presence of death.
There came a lull. Again the decks
"Come boys" shouted the second
mate, "get ford and turn in"
The watch just relieved moved with
difficulty down to leeward and pre-
pared to slxurry ford to the forecastle,
there to snatch Jews hours rest.
But before they could gain the shell
ter of the ford deckhouse, the vessel
reared on it's stern. They could not
climb that slanting deck. From ford
came that awful, growing roar again.
The green wall swept on, shot up
alongside, ready to topple. An impul-
sive cry burst from the lips of all,
their danger forgotten in the sight be-
fore them. Almost over their heads
rose that CLASSY, foam-streaked green
mountain, and on its very top lifted
the naked form of man, his arms
outstretched, mouth agape, eyes star
ing, legs outspread, like some spirit
of the storm, wrapped in smother OF
froth and spray. They caught just
that one glimpse-then came the
crash-again the decks were flooded.
Fortunately all had gained. some
hold, and when the waters subsidized
none was missing. In the pumphole,
by the mainmast. they found the
naked, unconscious, but still living
body of their lost shipmate, washed
aboard by the refux. The sea had
given up it's prey.
