subject with a few notable present
day examples of irreverence. He
then in a very vigorous and prantical
way discussed Reverence for Law,
Reverence for humanity, man, Rever-
ence for gifted, cultivated personality.
He took a broad sweep but was
very definite in treatment and appica-
ton, fearless in his Remuneration OIL

run across the Atlantic, and to make
profits for the steamship compan-
les.
This may seem like harsh state
ment but il is, nevertheless, true.
There are two distinct '1anes" of
traffic which are followed by steam
ers crossing the Atlantic from the
northern part of the United States
to Europe. The northern lane pass
es within the limit of drifting ice
while the southern lane passes out
side of that limit. The difference
in distances between these two lanes
is not much over 100 knots( about
115 miles.)
At the time of the accident the Ii
tanic was following the northern
lane and these hundreds Of lives and
millions of dollars were sacrificed
to- save a distance that the Titanic
Could cover in less than six hours
under ordinary conditions. The
Maureiania or Luitania could cover
il in less than five. hours in good
weather. Steamship men have al
ways known that the southern route
was far safer than the northern and
yet millions Of lives have been risk
ed and thousands have been sacri-
feed to save those few hours. No
steamship company dared to be the
first to abandon the northern route
because by doing so it would lose
patronage. The travelling. public,
ignorant of the danger, demanded
speed, speed and more speed, and
the company that could furnish the
speed got the patronage and the
money.
The northern route is not only
dangerous to the steamers them
selves, but il passes directly across
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland,
the great fishing ground of the north
Atlantic and perhaps the foggieSt
place in the known world. During

large part of the year there is a
great fleet of fishing vessels on the
Grand Banks; Kipling describes il as
"town upon the waters" Each
of these vessels is attended by sew
eral dories with two men to each
dory. Through fog and fair weather
the the great liners race through this
immense fleet of fishermen, bringing
destruction TO any who may be in
their path.
The records of the fishing fleet
show a lengthy list of vessels run
down by steamers; they also contain
many entries stating that men were
''lost i'm their dorieS in a fog" How
many of these men who were 'lost
in their dories" were run down by
liners will probably never be known
but ii is certain that many of them
must have been lost in that way.
These men as well as those lost on
The Titanic were sacrificed because
Of the endeavor to shorten the dis
lance and save time.
In addition to the struggle for
speed there was another cause for
the great loss of life on the Titanic.
Hundreds of lives might have been
saved if the ship had been equip
ped with a sufficient number of life
boats. The Titanic, like all other At
laniic liners. did not have boats
enough 10 accommodate more than
one-third of the crew and pasSen-
gers. This great lack Of boats is
caused by the greed for profits on
The part of The steamship companies.
Boats enough to hold the passengers
and crew would occupy quite a
large amount of space and this
space will produce more aprohts if
used for other purposes, Therefore
The companies are willing TO run the
risk of sacrificing the lives of their
passengers for the sake of dividends
loi
According to published statements,
the Titanic carried more boats than
are required under the British law.
The United States laws require more
boats and life RATS than the British
laws require, but even the United
States laws are not as strict as they
should be.
AS a result of the Titanic disaster
it is said that both congress and par
lament will pass laws providing for
sufficient safety appliances on all
steamships. Such laws are sadly
needed and should be passed and
strictly enforced. OF course con-
gress can not make laws governing
foreign vessels trading to other
countries but it can forbid any YES
sci to take passengers from United
States port unless it is properly
equipped with boats.
As another result of the disas-
ter, statement credited to Vice
President Franklin Of tire Vie Star
line, says that the steamship COM
panies have agreed to abandon the
northern route. This is another
consummation devoutly to be wish
ed"
The statement is frequently made,
and it is probably true, that travel
on the big liners is the safest in the
world. Disasters like that of the tt
tanic are. fortunately, rare. With |
the abandonment of the northern !
route and the provision of sufficient

How to Cure stammerInq.

Stammering is due to a peculiarly
nervous temperament. and only very
sympathetic treatment can effect a
cure. In child it should have imme.
date attention, and the first thing Is
to improve the little ones health by
means of plenty of sleep, fresh air
and good food. Every day he should
take deep breathing exercises in the
open air, to strengthen the muscles of
the throat. and counterfeit a spasmodic
habit of breathing Notice should be
taken of the sounds which the little
stammerer has most trouble with, and
sentences containing these sounds
should be composed for him to repeat
each day-very slowly and clearly.
He should be asked to read aloud ev
cry day, and, what is very important,
he should never be laughed at or
