TITANIC DISASTER
WILL RESULT IN OCEAN
TRAVEL REFORM

The requiems are chanted: the
TOLL ng Of bells has ceased; flags
once more flutter from their peaks;
and Ethe greatest sea tragedy OF
modern times fades from minds as
the world gets under full Roadway
once more. If the lesson is needed
precious lives will not have been
lost wholly in vain; just as an
Iroquoi fire made safer play house
and q Slocum excursion boat
brought its needed reform. 1t is
the province of these pages to deal
with the mechanical feature of II e
Titanic disaster rather than in
dulge in rhetorics, and to sum-
Marie the practical safe guards
which should result. The log of
the maiden trip of the biggest,
costliest, most luxurious craft
ever foateu is married with serious
shortcomi ngs. A mistaken conf
dence in her strength, reckless
speed in a known danger zone, in
sufficient life boats. and a crew not
yet drilled lin team work are a
part, but quite suffi cient, Of the
awful confession of inadequacy.
There were richly furnished
Turkish baths and gymnasiums
costly bronze Arabian lamps swung
in the smoke room; the Partisan
cafe, bathed in soft lights, was
beautiful with creeping ivy Irvine
on garden trellises like a summer
bower; but there was not one pair
of binoculars for the men in the
crows nest. The decorations on
the walls of the Louis XVI saloon
alone would have bought lifeboats
sufficient to contain 5000 souls.
The beautiful and com Portable
are not to be despised, but what a
mockery they become when the
real essentials are forgotten.
Already plans are making for
international regulation of pas
senger-carrying ships; already ship
owneres are advertising the
southern course, and sufficient life
loats with drilled crews to man
them. But these will not avail, if
in the frenzy for speed, ships con
tinue to :plunge through fogs at
express-train speed.
There is much the shi p builders
can do to safeguard human life,
but after all it must ever rest
with the navigator to exercise the
u t,nost caution. and regardless of
the Importance of owners and
travelling public alike. choose as
his motto Make Port" rather than
I'M axe Time. III. H. Windsor in
the June number of Popular
M chancs Magazine.

Barge Ride and Candy Pull.
lContributed.l


The Three B. class of the Baptist church
held its first annual barge ride and candy
pull last night. just eighteen members
and friends enjoyed the ride, and although
the Silly night was cold, they met with
a warm welcome at the home OF Herbert
Shute who, with his sister, Miss Idylene,
were hosts Of the occasion. Alexander
Weaver was the driver, and handled the
ribbons with customary skill.
While the candy was simmering, the
committee in charge inaugurated few
contests that set the wits wool gathering.
To this committee-H. w. Sargent, Misses
Winnie Southland and Alma Wilson
credit is due for much of the pleasure of
the evening. Suitable prizes were given
to the winners. Following the disposal of
the candy, the committee served delicious
refreshments which topped off the occa-
sion very nicely.
A feature of unusual interest was the
first appearance OF the Chronicle, little
monthly paper that the class is publish
ing, and which is intended to serve the
interests of the class and the church.
The party broke up at an early hour
with many expressions of appreciation to
Mr.. and Miss Shute for their generous
hospitality, and to members of the COM
mittee also for their efforts to make the
affair success. The next social is in
charge of Misses Marion Rideout, May
Wilson and Mrs. c. 1. Staples.

Mrs. Sarah Moore, of Brooksville. is
visiting her aged mother, Mrs. Charles

The new summer hotel at Maddocks'
landing will mean much to this COM
munity. Mr.. Sargent, who owned the
land on which it is being built, realizing
this, made very liberal terms with Mr..
Farmer, the proprietor. The hotel occu-
pies one of the most beautiful sites in
Hancock county, with fine beach in
front, broad view of the island-dotted
lake, with background OF forest
hills. Back of the hotel is pine grove,
carpeted with the pine spills of many
years.

is music and at the close of the exercises
every child has treat to take home,
either oranges or candy. The effort and
kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. Wooster are
greatly appreciated, and the school will
doubtless be of much benefit to the COM
munity.
The committee having in hand the
proposition for the esta tablishment of an
organization in Ellsworth on the lines OF
the Y. M. c. A., will submit to the State
Y. M. c. A. draft OF the constitution
