SOOTHING THE WAVES.
Oiling the Waters When the Seas Are
Runninn Ainh

Oiling the Waters When the Seas Are
Running High.
When the captain Of a wave beaten
ship pours oil upon the waters he does
not empty barrel of kerosene over
the side. He has somebody stitch up
three or four cotton bags, which he
fills first with oakum and then with
oil, usually equal parts of fish oil and
kerosene. The bags are then tied
tightly at the tops and pricked all over
with sail needle to permit the oil to
exude and are hung from the boat
davits and weather chains to drip their
contents on the raging pillows. The
bags must not be allowed to get emp
ty, but must be retilled every two
hours. For six bags ten gallons of
oil are used in thirty hours. Some
times if it is very cold the oil congeals
and will not run out through the holes
fast enough, and the mouth of the
bag is then lOOsened to let it escape
in that way. Its effect is magical on
rough sea. A huge comber will
arise, threatening to bury the laboring
vessel under tons of water, but will
strike a patch of oil no larger than a
common dining table and subside in
an instant into a smooth, round swell,
which the ship rides like cork.
The use Of oil is also valuable aid
in wearing ship in gale and high
seas. A few gallons of paint oil over
the lee quarter enable the vessel to
perform the maneuver in perfect safe
ty without taking a drop Of water on
board. When a boat ships so much
water that it is impossible to get the
oil bags slung in position without run
ming the risk of being swept over
board an ordinary bed sheet saturated
with paint oil tied to a rope and al
lowed to float will soon calm the seas
sufficiently to permit men to move
about the decks safely. Paint oil is
agreed to be the best to use, rape seed
oil and porpoise oil rank next, but
kerosene is not satisfactory unless
mixed with some other oil-New York
Press.

DENMARK,

The following item gives an inter
estlng account OF what influence the
women of Denmark are bearing on the
elections since they received the right
to vote: THE March elections this
year were of unusual Importance be-
cause OF the active participation of the
women of Denmark, who, for the first
time, were accorded the right to vote
and to seek election to office-that is
to say, in local or communal affairs
They are still disfranchised so far as
national or state affairs are concerned,
and consequently cannot vote for
members of the rigsdag. Owing to
the slowness of Danish statisticians
we do not yet know how many women
aValled themselves of the right of s,,f.
1rage last month. AS to the number
elected to office a dispatch says that
In Copenhagen II per cent of the new
~ elected officials are women and
that throughout the country z per cent
are women. A rather unexpected re-.
suit OF the elections is the falling off
in the socialists in many cities where
the new propaganda has been firmly
established. In the rural districts
however, the socialists made a better
showing, but on the whole thew have
no particular reason for exultation
over the outcome"
The Danish government has given
orders TO the governor general in the

SAD BEHIND THE SCENES
Fafe OF Peabody School
Is An Uncertain Matter

Nashville, November ia statement
from the trustees of the Peabody educa-
tion fund, given out here today, leaves the
distinct impression that it is by no means
vet certain that the George Peabody
School for Teachers, with its 81 100000 and
more endowment. will be located in Nash
VILE 1t is intimated that the entire
scheme for distribution of the vast trust
fund might be revised. The statement
comes through the executive committee
of the new college, and as a result of op-
position in some quarters to payment OF
gifts to the school voted by the nate,
Davidson county and the city of Nash
vile.
1t Is charged and believed by some that
relations between the Peabody school and
Vanderbilt university have been proposed
and will be established which will result
either in a merger of the two or in such
close affiliation as will impair the inde-
pendence of the Peabody school. The,
statement of the Peabody board denies
that any merger or affiliation was ever
meant.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-11-14

Consnuing the statement says
1t contemplates nothing more than
such arrangements between two independ-
ent institutions, as shall avoid duplication
of plants, of course, and of instructors,
as shall enable each of them, on terms
and for consideration satisfactory to 1t,
to supply the other with such educational
facilities as the latter could secure for
itself Independently only at great and un-
necessary expense. AS there could be no
effective cooperation of that sort unless
the two institutions were located in I'M
mediate proximity to each other, part of
the campus of Vanderbilt university, If
that could be acquired, or if not, then
other land In the immediate vicinity of
that campus, seemed to the trustees to be
the true site for the proposed college, and
has been fixed upon as such"
Another significant assertion in the
statement says:
IF such opposition should turn out to
be inveterate and to involve the delays
and uncertainties of protected litigation,
the trustees must necessarily consider
whether their entire scheme for the dis
tribution of the trust fund must not be
revised"
