 For years and years he works with pipe to learn just how a joint to wipe. and how to come and sagely seek when gas or water springs a leak 1t Is not fair to mock him thus-this honest man who tolls for us. He earns our plaudits and oui praise, and sends his bill each 30 days
 So let Us show more kindness to this man who does what he can to make us happy while we live; his hard-won honor we should give to him without a sniff oi wink though he should break the kitchen sink. CWe trust the man who plumbs next time for us may have perused tha

the household emergencies that the ser- want problem and the living problem call up, is not beyond the American husband in the present domestic crisis.
 Children and fools are said to tell the truth, and little incident in one of the most cultured homes of the land lets out a truth of this nature in rather a refresh- ing manner. Indignant at an unwonted re- proof. from his father, the 4-year-old pet of the household crept to his mothers side and whispered sternly, Mamma, I'm going to kill papa. Can't we get a woman to do our work?" Plenty Of material for the humorist comes out of mans part in the distracted domestic life of today. But, after all, it is something more alarming than funny when men of high character and talent cannot com niand an income sufficient to save them selves and their wives from all that slav- ing and scrimping which the wrestlers with the living problem set before us as the one grand hope.

 According to stories told by passengers on reaching here tonight many of them prepared for death by drowning after the Turrialba, steaming through a snow storm on her way from Jamaica West Indies, to New York, grounded on the Jersey sands in the early hours of yes- terday.
 "We were reconciled to our fate" nar- rated Police Inspector Edward Hughes of this city, returning with his wife from a trip in search of health. ''We talked about the Titanic and we can now appreciate something of what the poor passengers on that ill-fated ship experienced.
 Everyone prayed when the storm was at it's height and those men who had wives, we-wel. you can think 1t over yourselves, young men, he said to re- porters.
 Ship Struck Sandbar
 q think we struck the sand bar at :55 in the morning. I, among others, came out on deck to see what was the cause of the peculiar sensation-the ship apparently quivering as if she was go- ing to break. The weather was thick It was showing and the wind was from the northeast
 ''rhen the engines were shut down and all that could be heard was the noise of breakers striking against the ship. Later the engines were reversed and efforts were made to back off the bar but the ship did not respond
 Wireless messages for help were sound ed and soon reply came that the Sen eca was on her way.
 Early in the afternoon, a motor boat, trying to reach the vessel, was swept by giant wave against her side. Those on board the Turrialba pulled the life boat on board to save her from being dashed to pieces by combers.
 According to passengers the life boats were lowered yesterday afternoon and those on board were prepared to enter them. but the steamer was heaving SO to stand. A while later the Seneca hove in sight and small boat with seven men came alongside. After a conference 1t was decided not to attempt to trans- fer until the water became smoother The night was passed in comparative comfort and early today the transfer be- gan with five boats, two from the Seneca, one from the Turriaba and two from nearby life saving station The trans shipment was made without mishap on a comparatively smooth sea, women and children going first. The passengers were landed in time to eat a belated Christmas. dinner in New York
