It's Wisdom Shown

THE growth of organized labor in the
United States is shown by the
great increase in the membership Of
the American Federation of Labor, the
most powerful body of wage-workers
in the country, if not in the world.
Organized labor is stronger in Ameri-
ca than ever before. The cry for the
open shop and the heated denuncia-
tons of the opponents of the boycott,
the closed shop and the sympathetic
strike is met on every hand by ex.
amples of the wisdom of collective bar
gaining on the part Of workingmen
when dealing with their employers and
the continuance of union shops by
cooler headed employers.

Appreciates Teachers Work.

One woman says that when her
children bring home their school re-
ports at the end of the month she al
ways finds five minutes in which to
write a personal letter to the teach.
ers. If there is something that the
children have learned that surprised
her she writes a note Of thanks and
appreciation, and il the reports are
unsatisfactory she writes offering to
help the teacher in any way she may
suggest. Needless to say, the teach
ers are appreciative, as any one will
know who has ever taught school.

Another feet of ships is to make
the long trip around South America
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but
magnificent battleships it is to be one
of lighthouse tenders and clumsy
lightships. For this reason it will
not be as spectacular a departure as
that which marked the sailing of Ad-
miral Evans feet from New York
harbor last year. Nevertheless, it will
be interesting in it's way and impor-
tant because in the Pacific this fleet
of ships is to perform a service for
navigation which is of the utmost
Importance. Five of the six boats
will be stationed on the western coast
and one will continue on it's way to
Honolulu.
This strange fleet which is booked
to sail in September, and which will
be the first of it's class ever sent on
so long journey, will be made up
Of the lighthouse tenders Manzanita,
Sequoia and Kukui and the light YES
sells Nos. SO, 81 and 80. All of the
steam, the lightships being equipped
with machinery capable of driving
them along at the rate of seven knots
an hour and at this leisurely gait the
trip is expected to be brought to
successful termination in about 120
days.
Over at the United States light
house station at Tompkinsville, Sta
ten island, where the tenders and
lightships congregate, the craft have
arrived from the hands of their build
ers, and are being put in order for
the voyage. Capt. Albert Mertz,
who will have charge of the fleet, is
engaged in supervising the stowage
Of stores and supplies and otherwise
getting the vessels in shape for their
long and hazardous journey.
The vessels are only of moderate
size, and three of them, the lightships,
are not intended for regular deep sea
steaming. They are sturdy craft,
however, and little trouble is antici-
pated en- route. The worst to be
feared is the separation OF the YES
sells in a storm, at which time each
ship may be blown miles out of her
course and each become widely sep
arated from the other. Each craft
goes out under her own steam and
there is to be no towing except In
case of emergency. The Manzanita
will be the flagship, all the other
with
tance of her.
ct is my intention" said Capt.
Mertz, 'to follow practically the same
course as that recently taken by the
torpedo boat flotilla, although circum-
stances may change all that. the
lightships have steaming radius OF
$500 miles-that is, with the coal
which they are capable OF slowing
in their bunkers they are able to
make this distance without refueling,
and when they have run this course
thew must make port for coal. Their
speed is estimated at seven knots,
and as the tenders are capable OF
steaming at twice that speed it will
he a case with the latter of tagging
in order to keep company with the
lightships.
Each of the six craft is being
loaded with a large amount of light
house material and supplies intended
for the Pacific stations, and in this
way the trip of itself will save the
government considerable money,
since otherwise it would have been
necessary to ship these commodities
by rail or steamship. The six vessels

a Cjoarette Suicide.

"Give a crab a cigarette, and he'll
smoke himself to DEATH"
The speaker, to make good his
words, took huge crab from the bas-
ket in the bottom of the boat. He
stuck a cigarette tight in the crabs
narrow slit of a mouth; then he lit the
end.
Watch" he said. with a cruel
smile.
The crab, to rid himself of the hate
full mouthful, eXhaled strongly. Then,
according to the laws of nature, he in
naled. He exhaled again; again he
inhaled. Thick clouds of smoke rolled
forth, but thicker ones remained in the
hapless creatures lungs. The cigar
cite burnt free and fast.
$50 he'll keep on" said the cruel
experimenter, smoking like a steam
engine till he dies"
But at this point one of the fisher
men had pity on the crab, and
snatched the cigarette from its mouth.
