DONE, THE ASSOCIATION WOULD
RESIGN, TO A MAN" Thi. was heard
by seven or eight other pilots sitting
about and the negative sign or word
wa, wanting, showing that they all feel
alike in the matter.
When Major Langftt left this com
mand and the work at the jetty, he
was asked. poiniedly, By eue ~ sthsse
very pilots, how much water was on
the har when you closed your work.
Major. and the major answered the
pilot by referring him to the marking
on his. the majors, June report Of the
bar survey, and an inspection Of that
alleged reliable waterman shows less
than a. feet.

AS soon as the weather permits the

OF course. our operations will have u

now too rough down that way to dc
accurate work. but as soon as tn,

The major also declared that he in
tends to adopt policy Of measuring thu
depth of the water on the bar at fire.

months. II is a matter, he explained
that every resident of Portland is IN

Berlin u Fairy City,

Berlin is at it's best at night. 1t
has discovered the secret Of electric
lighting, and when people step out
from their Offices and shops at 8 and 9
o'clock at night it is into an enchanted
city. The solid palaces, the monstrous
statues, the enormous houses and wide
spaces of the long and stately streets
are then soft and gracious with a fairy
radiance. 1t is a city not only of pros
perity, but of pure delight. The heav-
mess of the buildings and the rigidity
of their lines are blurred and softened.
In this clear northern air the million
lamps blazing from the walls of houses,
shining across the interminable streets
and glowing in a straight line down
the whispering avenues, have some
thing of the magic gentleness and SEN
suous inspiration OF an Arabian story.
You begin to think Berlin is the great
est city in the world.

All the world knows the remark of
the governor of North Carolina to the
governor Of South Carolina, It's a
long time between drinks The true
history of this famous anecdote was
told by a South Carolinian. 1t appears
that the phrase was first heard at q
political dinner when the governors
Of both North and South Carolina We're
present. The first governor had deIiv-
cred Il fiery political speech The stu
alton was intense when the turn came
for the governor of South Carolina to
speak. 1t seemed that any word the
governor might say would complicate
the situation. Even should he keep 81
lent his opinion would seem clear. 1t
was at this critical moment that the
governor of the other Carolina rose
and, inspired by stroke of genius, re-
marked. Its a long time between
drinks" The absolutely noncomnait-
tai remark saved the situation.

runners who carry the jinrikishas,
battle their own feet and wash their
mouths with cold water, after which
they are served with their meals on
the benches outside the tea houses.
Their meal, which they eat with avidi-
ty, consists of sfh fish, rice, pickles
and Il. soup made of almost everything
odious. After they have eaten they
will smoke tiny pipes, with only three
whiffs for each filling. Next comes the
