ton between interstate and intrastate
passenger business.
The commission expresses the opin-
ion that the present condition OF
charging one rate per mile Tor intra-
state traffic and higher rate per mile
for interstate, when the service per
formed is the same in both cases. is
indefensible. lntrastate and inter
state passengers are carried on the
same train, in the same cars and are
accorded equal privileges. II seems
clear that eventually there must be

tween the TWO services or a correction

In the territory indicated injra-
state fares are on a twO-CCnt basis.

Water Commissioner Would Fix
Limit at One a Week.
Question Has Become Burning One
Throughout State Of Massaehus-
etts-Head Of Board Of
Health Approves.

Boston.-How many baths does @
person require in a week7
The above question is being asked
by about every one of Lynn's 400. 00C
population. and the answer are va
ried ones. Some people claim only
one is necessary. thereby uphoIding
Water Commissioner Thomas Camp
bell, who has decreed that one bath
every seven days is enough.
Discussion of the subject is not con
fined to Lynn. as the question has be.
come a burning issue throughout the
state.
h water supply at Lynn became
low recently. and Water Commission
er Campbell, seeking to care for the
city's interests. asked that the citizens
content themselves with one bath a
week. The outburst Of indignation
which resulted fairly overwhelmed the
water commissioner. and he increased
the bathing privilege to twice weekly
He did SO grudgingIy, however. and
still insists that one bath a week
would be ~sufficient-of course. taking
Into consideration the condition that
exists.
Chairman Michael Ward of the
board OF health said he approved OF
the suggestion. He felt that the com.
paratively few who had become accus.
toned to the luxury Of a daily bath
should sacrifice their wishes for the,
good OF the many. Their abregation
would be for a good purpose, he said.
and rebound to their credit.
Chairman Ward went a bit farther
and expressed the belief that many of
the politicians at the city hall should
practice the self-deniai asked for He
said that they we're devotees of the
daily bath and declared that now was
the time for the city fathers and other
public officials to show their mettle

Her latest accident occurred when
she fell one foot from a fence and
broke an arm above the elbow. Last
spring she fell from a step and broke
a shoulder blade. Later in the sum-

an arm. but this fracture was healed
before the girl or her parents knew
anything about It Three weeks ago

other shoulder blade.

tion the service has a ship specially constructed
as a "derelict destroyer"-the only vessel OF the
kind in the world.
Commissioned officers Of the United States reve-
nue. cutter service have rank with the officers Of
the army and navy and receive the same benefits
of retirement as are accorded these officers. The
officers are trained for the service at the revenue
cutter cadet school, located at New London. Conn.
Young men enter at any age between eighteen and
twenty-four, and in addition to exactions in book
learning must undergo a military and nautical
training that IN some respects Is even more ardu-
GUS than that given at Uncle Sans big academies
at Annapolis and West Point. OF course the
classes at the cadet school are comparatively small
sometimes there are not more than two dozen
embryo officers enrolled at the institution. but this
is to be expected. for the revenue cutter service
does not need the great numbers of officers re-
CURED for our rapidly growing navy. Indeed. there
are less than three hundred commissioned officers
on the revenue cutter roster, where as the warrant
officers and enlisted men will probably not total
more than fifteen hundred. although Uncle Sam Is
constantly adding to his feet of revenue cutters,
and this expansion is reflected In the active list
The navigating responsibilities of the officers of
the nations sea police boats probably exceed those
OF any other men in the naval or maritime service.
Unlike many of the men who go down to the sea
in ships, they do not conhne themselves tn a given
ocean path. On the contrary. the young revenue
cutter officer may be called upon at short notice
to navigate his own ship in any waters from south
en Florida to northern Alaska, and he. must enter
many bays and arms of the sea where no naval
or merchant vessel would ever be required to go.
For these versatile demands the revenue cutter
officers are especially trained during their cadet
course. Each year during the t~hree-year course
the cadets spend several months on a cruising
practice ship" which joys back and forth across
the Atlantic. partly under steam and partly by
sail power. The boys attend to all the operations
connected with the navigation Of the vessel
gaining that grounding of practical experience that
will be SO valuable in later years-and incidently
they continue that small arms and ordnance prac-
tice which is a feature of their schooling on shore.
The motto Of the United States revenue cutter serv-
ice is "Semper Paratus." which may be translated
as Always Ready" and certainly the Yankee police
force of the high schools has eloquently proven in
recent years that the words of this slogan convey
no idle boast,

crews. but In addition it has virtually developed a
lifesaving service of it's own, and every revenue
cutter might be designated as a floating lfe.sav-
ing station. The police of the sea have to afford
protection for the sponge fisheries in the Gulf of
Mexico and the Straits of Florida; they play an
important part in enforcing quarantine regula-
tons when Uncle Sam is putting up the bars"
against some plagueinfested country abroad, and
they guard the safety of the public at all great
yacht races and ~regattas.
Persons who bear in mind the principal events
of the S~panish-American war will recall that the
revenue cutters with their officers and men
played an important part in the defense of the
country during that conflict. But this was no in

nation engaged the. revenue cutter service al
ways had a hand. and. indeed. there is a standing
arrangement whereby. in the event Of war, the
police OF the sea cooperate with the navy. It is
