Struck by a Squat.

The two boats that got into trouble
were the sioOp yacht Nora, which had
on board Captain Herbert Shivers, his
mate and thirty passengers, and the
sloop Alvin B., with a party of twelve.
The sand obstruction is about a mile
from shore. Just as the Nora was
about to go over it heavy squall struck
her. AS the craft keeled over she was
hit by a huge wave and turned COM
pletely over, the mast swapping off
short. There was an agonizing cry as
the yacht turned turtle, which was
quickly silenced, when nearly all the
victims disappeared beneath the water.
The heavy sea, however, probably was
responsible for the saving of most of
the survivors, as the waves were so
rough that the uptuned yacht was
tossed about, thus uncOvering the
struggling victims caught underneath.
AS many as could reached the keel. In
the unequal fight against The elements
the clinging men disappeared one by
one until only eighteen ware left cling
ing to the boat.

Insane Desire For Speed.

The season for automobile sport"
opened with a most distressing acci
dent In suburb of New York, result
ing In the death of two venerable wo-
men on their way TO church. A youth
of twenty handled the machine, and
the owner ordered him to hurry from
the spot without Offering help, evidence
that the responsible parties We're UNFIT
to be at large with the power to do
mischief. The father of the owner of
the auto IN this case promptly declared
that the fatal accident was due to an
insane desire for speed"
Desire for speed and nothing else
causes about all the accidents in which
autos are involved, whether the vic
tins are inside of or under the ma
chine. This particular accident occur
red on down grade curve under
bridge, where there were double troll
ley tracks, and for their own safety
as well as for pedestrians on the course
the autoists should have been extreme
ly cautious instead of extremely reck-
less. A deat tn curve in the road is not
a place for sport Autoists incapable
of restraining their desire for a sport
ing pace under circumstances like
those should be dealt with sharply by
the law. They laugh al F;-Ss as part
of the price of sport" Sprlsonment
should be added to the ns1s, and loss
of license for the drivsr 7hould be the
penalty for ignoring the speed limit or
other regulations for safety. and the
charge of manslaughter should face the
autoist who puts human life in peril
on the highway by the brainless direc-
ton of the swiftly moving machine

Telephone Manners.

The telephone having become fix
ture users of this great time saver and
business and social convenience cannot
fairly object to the hint that there is
room for improvement in the code of
procedure that "goes with every ma
chine" The company rules simply tell
the speaker and the auditor what to do
to connect. Things unsaid in the rules
are left to the good sense of the users,
but certain knot of reformers think
that these, too should be formulated
into a code.
For instance, it is suggested that the
idea that every call is from friend
wanting to pass a joke, or maybe fire
alarm or some one demanding a check
for that last bill, is TO be dropped and
the call taken as a mere matter of
fact The receiver should be handled
with deliberation, the tone unrufiied
and the overworked Hello" replaced
by the monosyllable 'WellP An eX-
change of names in every instance is
insisted upon by the new codists, for
even when a call is awaited the first
conner may not be the one expected.
OF course secrets have no place on
the phone, but all conversation has its
preliminarles when the parties are face
to face, and between parties unseen
talk should not begin nor end abrupt
ly Since time is money on the phone
as elsewhere, and often to a greater de-
gree. code observed at both ends of
the wire will really be another time
saver
