Sc do not become his sole endeavor. But
when man attempts scholastic work, ath-
letic success, political leadership, social
prominence and adds to these participation
in the musical, literary, dramatic, or religious
sides of university life,-a variety of inter
ests actually attempted by many of our col
1ege men,-he is attempting too much. Some
thing must suffer. He inevitably becomes
lack of all trades and master of none, and
the realization of this fact becomes quite
painful when in the early years of profession
al and business life he meets college gradu-
ates who have not so erred. But, lest | be
misunderstood, far worse than the man who
does too much is the man who does nothing.
Every freshman should discover at least one
branch of work outside the classroom for
which he has natural bent. His service to
the university community along this line is
his duty and his privilege.
Just one more suggestion. The American
Rhodes scholars at Oxford have specially
admired the keen interest of all Englishmen
in sport. No matter if a man can never by
any chance make Varsity team, he should
nevertheless go out and play on minor teams.
We must develop in this country intercol-
legiate athletics. Too much attention is now
paid to the picked man. The mediocre and
average athlete must be given his chance.
At Oxford and Cambridge it is literally true
that seventy-fve per cent. of the students
are engaged every afternoon during unlver
sity terms in some branch of sport. There
are no bleacherites.

THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA
Continued from page s

tolshot away, glorious sight to the glazing
ewes of Little Welsh, her curved bows fling
ing the spray, her men crouched down, all
eyes on the sinking ship, Casco up forward,
making trumpet of his hands. The fat
shape of the sheetiron lifecar chased after
the motor.
A gush of warmth swelled Little Welsh S
heart. @That's the ticket! They got the
old air tank with 'em! She haulin' astern!"
With the lifecar-that was the only way
they could pick off the sea-washed men of the
ore carrier "The rev'n isn't in it now, "
he chuckled.
But where did he come in to help? The
men could not see him, for the spume and
smother of the Gridiron, and he crouched,
an image of ice, frosted by the sea salt, his
fannels frozen on him. The bullies had no
leisure to waste on him! Ships Bottom had
business on hand! The boat was pressed
for time! Later, when they got done,
maybe
Scowling, fumbling with his levers and
his wheel. he forgot fear and cold @I'm al
ways gettin' the short end of the stick! But
they better 20 to her while the going IS good!"
Surfman Welsh had seen iron ships 60
down before, too many of them; but he had
dreamed of no wreck like this. 1t was hor-
rible, unnatural, like everything that con-
cerned the sunken reef-crawly! A ship
tortured-drowned by inches! This muir
dcrous power that caught ships and aero
planes, that sucked out the breath of the
wireless and killed electric motors-it was
going to get him! He too had blundered in
through the smother to his fate!
Well-Ships Bottom was going stale, any
how! That investigation that was coming
He was growing sleepy. The wavering
shapes came again. That fool freighter was
trying to stand on end
The Algonquin was SO close he could hear
the shouting aboard, the whole length of
the ship away. Her crew had taken to the
bow The after half of her deck was under
water. Her bow, reared up, formed an
eighty-foot barricade that struggled and
tore at it's chain cables. Welsh could look
into her funnel tops, trained over the reef
like smoking guns. "Jes' like she's backing
down in hole!" he gasped-and caught
his breath, thoroughly awake now.
Was that the solution of the mystery?
Was there funnel down there in the sea, a
huge hole yawning in the ocean floor,
smashed through maybe by the awful i'm
pact when the Copper King charged the
reef? Was that what lured vessels to their
death, sucking them in from the sea as a
sinking ship sucks down boats? Welsh had
heard of such things, submarine volcanoes,
seaquakes, that wreaked havoc, filled, and
went out of business but that would not
account for the wireless attraction, the stop
ping of ships engines, shutting off light and
power. Only Sam Bright, the wrecker
knew the truth!
A CHEER came from the wreck, and
through the smoke and the binding
spray Welsh glimpsed a shimmering object al

course of his four university years. A broad
man with a variety of interests and with little
narrowness of vision is to be commended;
but it is the purpose of this short article to
sound a note of warning.
Several writer's have already in consclen-
tious and thorough manner elaborated the
shortcomings of our American institutions of
learning. They have compared the Amer
lean senior with those men in English and
Continental universities who are about to
take their degrees, and the comparison has
been considered to be entirely to the advan-
tage of the latter OF course, the comparison
cannot be wholly fair, since the scheme of
study in the English and French and Ger
man universities makes definitely for more
or less specialization. When a man takes
his degree on the other side he does in very
real sense know a great deal about one or
few subjects or branches of study. His work
has been markedly intensive. Moreover, it
is only too apparent that the young man
abroad has cultural opportunities in music,
art, and so forth such as can be found in few
places in America. However, whatever the
differences of conditions and environment,
the great fault of the American college man,
and mistake that the freshman should fore
see and guard against, is that he tends to
have too many interests. Too large pre-
MUM is placed upon activity in college at
fairs"
One would not of course advocate that the
freshman should become a grind. If he is
athletic, SO much the better-if athletics per

the sea, washing back. She was looking
death in the eyes, and she knew it, and her
crew knew it, scuttling like rats on the deck.
But Welsh was not interested in her just
then. He was busy trying to save himself
from taking header into the breakers that
were doing their best to fight the hydro
plane back with stunning blows, binding
him. Something had happened. The ma
chine had stopped, almost dead, the electnc
motor sticking, just as it had done with him
twice before. He was in the gnp OF the Old
Man of the Sea, anchored, sluggishly wal
lowing right over the sucking, boiling mael-
strom, where the rocks and the Copper King
what was left of her) lay foundered under
thirty feet of water.
Little Welsh was scared, scared all
through, as well as suffocating in the big
breakers that threatened to tear the hydro
plane apart. The machine had struck
nothing; but it chung in the same place,
swaying to and fro on the mad waters. Steel
strong as it was, presenting slight resistance
to wind or wave, this failing could not last.
Besides, the ship was washing down on him
in the whirlpool, whatever held him.
Little use to warn her off; but he did it,
lashing a Coston torch on the aluminium
framework, and waving the f1aring percus-
sion on high, till it scorched him and he
dropped it. He remembered afterward that
the metal handle clung to the lurching hy-
dro's deck The revenue cutter at least
would see that signal of danger; though it
narrowed the little gunner's heart to call
Ships Bottoms rival in.
An answering beam, washing the freighter
in the calcium glare of ghost ship, told him
that the revenue, still out of sight in the
smother, was coming to the rescue. From
the ship he caught the rattle of anchor
chains, and he could make her out through
the spindrift, a ships length away, squat
tering down with orninous rumblingS OF a
shifting cargo, as she reared at her last moor
ings. Impotent to move, Welsh watched
her sinking stern first, dragged down by the
shifting ore and water in her, or the mysteri-
GUS power that lurked in the rocks, or BOTH
Where was Ships Bottom9 Hang 'em!
The sea thundered over the hydroplane,
beating down its canvas wings. One plane
was already in tatters. The little surfman
had come out, hatless and coatless, in the
teeth of a sou'east drifter that dropped the
temperature like norther. He was chilled
to the bone. His hands, locked in death
grip on the steering wheel in his efforts to
start, were frozen. His breath was coming
in gasps Only dread and horror of his sur
roundings held the light in his dauntless
eyes, and their luster was fast going. Shades
seemed to rise from the sea, clawing and
moving.

CHANGES PROJECTED IN
F:;sTREET:STRUCTURES
Buildings on North Side Be-
tween 18th and 18th Streets
to Be ModerniZed.

Changes are to be made in the char
acter of buildings in the block on F street
between 14th and 18th streets, which will
do much toward making that section
better adapted for modern business uses.
The property at 1909 r street. which
was recently bought by William Ballan-
tyre & Sons, is to he remodeled so as
TO be suitable for. the stationery business
which has been conducted by tnat ffm
or many years on It'll street between
ID and Il streets northwest The buiid1ng
adjoining ON the east is available for simi-
ar changes, while the next building, sun
IN the same direction, was purchased some
ume ago by Edward J. McQuade and has
been modernized and adapted for business
purposes.
The corner at 18th and + streets is oc-
cupied by the Wyatt Office building. Tne
section west of the Ballantyne property
on the same side of the block to lotn
street is entirely given up to commercial
purposes. but the buildings are not OF the
modern type. On the south side OF the
street the property is held In large DOCKS,
beginning at the southeast corner OF Iotn
and f streets, where the Corcoran once
building has a long frontage on r street.
The first floor of this building Is entlrely
given up to stores and other business On
terprises.
Adjoining on the east comes the lone
frontage belonging to Henry *: Wharf,
ing, a portion of which is a modern
structure. Next to the Willard holdings
is the modern banking house occupied by
the International Banking Corporation,
while still to the east and eN-ending 20
the corner of 14th and F streets Is the
New Willard Hotel. which fills the en-.
tire front of 14th street between f street
and Pennsylvania avenue.
