the fishing business, about all the YES
sells being manned by native sailors.
This Is due in a measure to the fact
that about all the vessels in the bust
ness are owned wholly or in part by
the fishermen themselves. In many
of the island towns the young men
club together and with the money &C
cumulated buy or build suitable YES

"The men are always within reach
of home and they are allowed the op-

THAT the sea has been robbed Of
one Of its strongest lures for young
America by the construction Of YES
sells which really defy the storms is
something else that has to be geek
oned with when figuring out what has
caused the shortage. The spirit of
daredeviltry Unborn in the average
American allures him to the life of a
sailor. The spectacular side Of the
business was a strong, appealing force.
This has called hundreds of men be-
fore the mast, and the tales recited
by the old timers in the coast cities
have stirred the imagination and fired
the blood Of many"

Many of the vessels leaving here
for coal and other ports within the

And within week the young fullback
was on the rapid road to recovery.
The day before Chalmers was dis
charged from the hospital Sylvia, her
mother and father sailed for Japan.
Nine weeks later Sylvia sat reading
with overnight, indignant eyes the
following letter from her lover.
Boston, Mass, December 8.
Dear Little Girl-Why did you run
away without one word of farewell?
Is it possible that, after everything,

Greatest Usefulness Until They
Reach Middle Age.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet. Many men do
not find their spheres of greatest USE
fitness until middle age, while others
never md them. Education ought to
help one to find his true sphere. The
great difficulty with SO many young
people is they show an adaptability to
too many things; they become what
their fellows or instructors call versa

Immense SAVING Possible,

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States is
$1.669. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
900 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which Is part of an extensive study
the National association Is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least $150,OOO,OO0 if the INDECENT
consumptives were properly segre-
gated. 1f

Sylvia read the letter several times
with a variety of emotions. Then she
crumpled it and tossed it into the
trash basket Afterward, she went
over to her writing desk and penned
a cloudy polite little note in reply
that effectually shut off any possible
excuse for further correspondence.
Early in the following autumn the
Marburys returned to America
1t was on glorious November
morning that Sylvia came in, flushed,
from downtown expedition, and hur-

she turned her bag upside down,

Newfoundland. 1t lies off Cape Agul-

be almost a duplicate in size and rich

is too far off, so there is little promise
