The boys department has nearly
equal space along the east side of
the building, while the Offices of the
secretaries occupy the center. The
gymnasium, one of the finest in the

modern equipment, including a pad

The second floor contains large

of rooms which will be used as bach

third and fourth floors are solidly
made up of fine rooms, attractively
fitted up and provided with all con-
venienees, as shower baths and tot
let facilities, which will be rented as
home. The building provides ac-

men in this way and most of the
rooms will be occupied Just as soon
as they are ready for use.
The building is an object OF pride

One Of the great problems in con-
rection with the use of lifeboats on
big passenger steamers-and natural
" the problem has become more COM
plicated as the ocean liners have
grown in size and in heights found
in the necessity that passengers get
into the lifeboats on the deck level,
distance, in the case of the Titanic
of say fifty or sixty feet above the
water. Naturally many Of the more
timid passengers are nervous over
such a condition particularly because
in days gone by there have been hor-
rible blunders and whole boqtloads
of people have been precipiated into
the sea through carelessness in low

passengers were tossed into the wat.
er. Modern mechanical devices that
make the launching motion more au-
tomato have tended to lessen such
dangers but there remains to be solv-
ed the problem of embarking passen-
gers at a lower level.
Another advance OF recent years
in the lifeboat field is found in the
improvement in the facilities for
launching lifeboats. The U. s. govern
mental regulations require that all

erenco is strong for metal boats
and the Navy officers are entitled to
some consideration in their Judgment
for they have long been away ahead
of the merchant marine in that they
have provided on each of Uncle Sans
warships ample boats to take off
every man in the event of a disaster.
On the other hand the L. S. Life
Saving Service, admittedly the finest
life-saying service in the world, and
extensive users Of life boats prefer
the wooden boats. So, too, have
most Of the leading steamship COM
panies up to this time. Nor can this
favoritism for wooden boats or the
part of the leading steamship COM
panies be charged to economy for a
frst-class wooden lifeboat of the larg-
est size costs from $500 to $3.50,
whereas a good metal boat may be OBJ
tanned at prices ranging from 1925 to
$500 each. 1t is claimed for the met
al boats that they will not break or
collapse; that they do not suffer de-
terioration from the ravages of wood
boring insects and that they can be
indefinitely stored on deck without
danger that the seams will open and
render the boat leaky. On the other
hand it is asserted that a wooden life
boat may be far more readily repaired
after a minor accident than a metal
boat may be.
Although there has been criticism
of late regarding some of the life
boats to be found on passenger-carry-
ing steamers it would be a great mis-
take for any reader to get the i'm
preston that vessel owners have been
to provide these boats in ac-
cordance with any hit and miss policy
or in conformity with their own in
diyidual ideas. In the United States
all lifeboats must be built and in
stalled in accordance with rules and
regulations laid down by the Steam
boat-lnspectiOn Service, a very i'm
portant branch of our national gov
eminent. All builders of lifeboats
are obliged to furnish the Supervising
Inspector General with drawings and
specifications showing and explaining
the construction of the craft they
are turning out and the Characters
tics of the material used. In add,

T. is whispered that vessel owners
had grown careless on this score
just as they had become Indifferent
regarding the number Of boats pro-
vided,-and that a considerable pro-
portion Of the so-called Iifeboats car
ried on oceanic liners are Tor We're
up to the time the Titanic SANK not
actually lifeboats at all, merely open
boats without the special consuJc-
ton or equipment needed to adapt
them to emergency service.
There are three general classes Of
boats allowed and authorized by the
United States governmental regula-
tons heretofore in force. These are
wooden lifeboats, metal lifeboats and
collapsible boats, in addition, Of
course, to life RATS. Only recently
Uncle Sans requirements regarding
lifeboats have been greatly stiffened.
the new regulations are to go into
effect on July /, neXt,-with a view
to securing greater efficiency and sea
wOrthiness in such craft, but it IS
likely that further radical reyisions
Of the laws will now be necessary
on this score. For one thing, the
chronicle of the Titanic disaster Cif
careful and expert investigation bears
out the reports of survivors, would
seem to give a black eye to the col
lapsible boat as a haven of refuge IN
an oceanic disaster. Under the regu-
lations heretofore in force it has been
permissible for steamer to provide
one-third of her required boatage in
the form of these collapsible boats.
OF course owners have liked them
because they do not take up anything
like as much room as other boats, to
say nothing of a saving in cost. IN
deed on some of the big transatlantic
liners the custom has been to stack
the collapsible boats on top of one
another just as camp stools are piled
on the deck of an excursion steamer.
AS between metal and wooden life
boats it is a matter of individual
opinion or expert judgment with two
verdicts. Each type has it's good
points and each has its enthusiastic
advocates not only>among the general
public who are swayed by ordinary
everyday opinions but also among the
experts who have technical knowl-
edge. In the U. S. Navy the pref

OF course, it should not be inferr-

all seemed to understand and appre-

ia which Wills sister Mary appears.
The moment the vision scene was
disclosed, the audience was hushed.

Ureboats shall be fitted with such
davits and gears as will enable the
boats to be safely launched in less
than two minutes from the time the
clearing away of the boat is begun.
II is stipulated that on vessels car
rying passengers all lifeboats must,
if practicable, be carried under sub
stantial dayits or cranes which of
course, would enable them to be low
cred direct into the water. However,
If IL is not practicable to thus carry
all lifeboats it is permissible to stow
the remainder near at hand and Uncle
Sans experts say that such is the
perfection of modern launching appa-
ratus that in the case Of a disaster
such as that which befell the Titanic
it would have been a simple matter
to have put all the passengers ana
crew into boats even were there no
more boats swinging from davits than
was actually the case, if the addi-
tional boats had been stored on
chucks back against the deck houses
This would seem to dispose of the
contention of some steamship officials
that it is not feasible to carry nor
successfully launch enough boats to
take care of a large ships company.
It is required that all boats under
davits be capable of being stimuli
taneously launched and whereas some
delay would Of course ensue in low
ering the second division of boats
there would be ample time for carry
irg out such plan if people aboard
a ship had any warning of impending
disaster.
Recent events will presumably do
much to still further perfect lifeboat
design and principles of construction
but this industry has developed at
no slow pace during the more than a
century that has interviewed since a
London coachmaker first conceived
the idea of a lifeboat. Not only has
the twentieth century form of life
boat been rendered virtually unsink-
able through the introduction of the
air-tight tanks above mentioned but
it may be, through ingenious mechan-
ism, rendered self-righting and self
bailing-that is it will automatically
return to its normal position if by any
chance capsized and will mechanically
free itself of the water which has
