paration as told by people who
had become convinced of the sound

Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened He claims that
most i'll health of the present genera

is rs follows:

Supervising Inspector General Uhler
Says Launches and Other Such
Craft Arc Carrying Passengers and
Ought to be Subject to Regulations.

Ii the recommendations contained

vising Inspector General George Uhler
of the steamboat inspection service
has just submitted to Secretary
Straus of the department of commerce
and labor. are approved. all motor

section and. in fact. In all parts OF
the country. will be under the SUI
'pervison of tie local inspectors and
and their owners will have to comply
with the regulations as TO naviga
ton now observed BY the nayigators
of steam vessels.
General uhlcr recommends som,
important changes in the inspection
rules and gives some important data
as 10 the effectiveness OF the nr.s-
ont system md as to the extent ol
steam navigation throughout the coun
Try. Besides he recommends that
motor boats be required to comply
with the regulations as to tho rules
n the road as TO lights, as TO wills :
Ties and other signals as now applied
TO steam vessels. and TO license and
furthermore that the number of pas
sengers who may be carried on
launches be limited in view of tho
fact that this class OF craft is being
used largely for tho transportation
Of passengers and not so much for
pleasure purposes.
The supervising general declares
that the temporary transfer during
the past wear Of assistant inspectors
which was effected b. the order OF
the secretary. has produced good re-
suits and that the wisdom Of the
move is made more APPARENT daily. He
also refers 10 the good effect of re-
curing more frequent inspection of

on beyond all doubt that this precau-
tion was necessary TO insure a sufrlc-
iency of life saving equipment. and
to maintain it In a serviceable con-
dition.' The reinspection will be
continued, he says, and made even
oftener. If possible.
Speaking of the effectiveness of the
service at present, General Uhler
said; THE service is now in better
condition then II has been in its
history. and is doing splendid work
in conectio with the humae object
OF its organization. There can be
no doubt as to It's necessity as life
saving factor, and its equipment must
