line. About this time Mr.. Newell was elected to
congress and on the first resolution day of the
first session of the thirtieth Songress-on Jan
uary g. 1S4S, to be exact-he introduced in the
national legislature the measure which laid the
foundation of our Life-Savng Service.
The national government maintains up
ward OF three hundred life.saving stations dis
trbuted the coasts of the Atlantic, the Pa
cfc, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Each OF these stations is named by a crew OF
from six to eight surfmen-hardy and fearless
fellows who are splendid specimens of physical
manhood and who skilled in handling boats in
angry seas and in manipulating the various
chanical appliances which Uncle Sam provides
as aids to the Drawn and the quick wits of
coast patrolmen in the dangerous task of cheat
ing the deep of its prey. For devotion to duty
that necessitates eternal vigilance and the most
fatguing service the life-savers receive the mod.
est wage of $50 per month Moreover they re-
ceive that pay for any nine months year, the
crews being laid OFF during June. July and Au.
gust, at which season severe storms and wrecks
are almost unknown. Should life-saver be in
jured during his summer 'ay-off" he not only
cannot get back into the service but he cannot
under existing conditions draw any pension or
retirement pay, matter how many years he
has faithfully served the nation.
The vast majority of rescues effected by the
life-savng crews are accomplished by means OF
lifeboats or surfboats These stanch craft, which,
as now manufactured, almost unsuitable, are
the ideal vehicles for taking considerable num-
bers of persons from imperiled vessels H. lim

Ohio Athlete To Bio Meet.

Ohio may have a representative in
the worldwide Olympic games in
Sweden. 1t is proposed by Steve Far
rell, the trainer at the Ohio State
University, to enter Clement Cook, the
marvellous young local sprinter, in the
100 and 220 yard events, Cook won
the state collegiate prizes last year,
covering the 100 in even time and the
220 in % 1-5 seconds. 1t is proposed
to try him out at the preliminaries in
Chicago next year against Craig, Of
Michigan; Davenport, of Chicago, and
Wilson, of Coe, said to be the pest
in the Middle West. Craig has done
his 220 in q Is seconds. In the
event that a three-men relay is asked
for Farrell may enter Wycoffe, Of o.
S. u, who last year took the measure
of Baker, of Oberlin, the best two
miller in the state.

and beach apparatus with view to carrying on
rescue work through the instrumentality of the
breeches buoy the life car. First of all
shot with a line attached is fired across the
stranded vessel by means of n powerful little
mortar or snub-nosed cannon, which will hurl
line over wreck 400 yards distant, in the
teeth of gale. With this preliminary line in
their possession the crew of shipwrecked craft
quickly haul out a larger line and finally a
three-inch hawser. Attached to the hawser is a
board which bears in English on one side and in
French on the other instructions as to how to
make the hawser fast to q mast or the best place

When the shipwrecked mariners signal that
they have obeyed instructions as to fastening the

Capital Increasing.

More than S17,750,0O0 is the amount
which Ohio increased the amount of
capital stock which she expects to
employ in every sort or corporate ac-
tivity in the state during the month
of December. The sum is the net in
crease recorded in all the activity of
the office of Secretary of State Graves
in increasing, reducing and changing
the organization of existing concerns
and incorporating new ones. The en-
terprises organized present an unus-
ually varied array of human activi-
ties, from building and loan associa-
tions to every sort Of mercantile and
industrial establishment.

Ohio Farm Land Values.

At an average of $63.7S an acre Ohio
has more than a billion and half
dollars of wealth in the extremely tan
gible form of farm property, this be-
ing shown by figures completed by the
Tax Commission for use in its annual
report, which is in preparation. The
value of this form of realty does not
include the value of real estate in
cities or villages, nor any of the value
of the mineral deposits under lands
which are also used for farming.
This represents an increase of nearly
three times over the assessed value
of the same sort of property per acre
in the year 1910.

Public Service Commission.

PUBLIC Service Commission.
With but half year of
work under the new public utilities
law behind it as guide, the Public
Service Commission of Ohio has
found that it is not going to meet
with insurmountable difficulties in
the matter of regulating the issue of
securities by public utility corpora
tions
Applications aggregating millions OF
dollars of stocks and bonds have been
filed before the commission by rail-
roads, traction lines, and even by gas
and electric light companies, and the
commission has found it quite pos
sible to investigate the condition OF
the companies before allowing the is
sues, and also quite feasible to name
a price below which the securities
may not be sold.
The ultimate effect which this work
will have upon the value of securities
of Ohio corporations when they are
placed upon the market is best indi-
Gated by Commissioner Oliver H.
Hughes's statement that the commits
sion will not be satisfied with it's own
work until 1t has reached a point
where every stock and bond offered
for sale will bring 100 cents for every
dollar 1t represents.
Towards this end, and to secure the
proper regulation Of new enterprises
which are being incorporated in this
state, it is quite probable that the
commission may officially go before
the next General Assembly to urge a
general Encouragement of the incor-
poration laws
