NAVY DROPS "STARBOARDv
And with 1t Goes Port" in In
terest of Safety.
From The Tribune Bureau 7

Washington, April 15.--"Port' and star
board. time-honOred terms known 10 sea-,
faring men in all parts Of the maritime
world. are doomed so far as their use in
the American navy is concerned, the Sec
rotary Of the Navy having approved to-
day a recommendation of the General
Board regarding orders governing the
movements of the rudder on vessels.
Fright" and left" will be used hereafter
one Of the reasons for the change given
by the General Board is as follows:
There can be no question that an .un-
necessary mental process is involved
when the recipient of an order TO do a
certain thing, or perform a certain mo-
ton. is obliged Ia mentally translate the
order so as TO produce an opposite or diff
ferent motion. Under such circumstances,
the order to starhoard IS not instantly
followed by the natural resulting move
ment of the body, hands and wheel TO the
starboard or right; for the necessary
mental action-the receipt of the impress
sion conveyed by the word 'starboard';
then the remembrance that the helm 10
starboard corresponds with wheel to port,
followed by the resulting motor impul-
ses-must all be completed before the
order can be executed With practice. the
cerebral action becomes more sure and
rapid, unconscious almost but II Il
could be measured there would always be
found a delay before desired action can
actually take place.
This becomes serious matter with
relatively unframed steersmen and may
become a vital matter in moments of In
tense excitement. when in action or in
danger of collision Under such circum-
stances man of unframed intelligence
becomes confused. lie will not be able TO
move body and hands to starboard when
he gets the command Port; but will gen.
orally and automatically do exactly what
he hears-makes the ordered movement TO
port"

From School 95 Colonel Roosevelt and

and bought four or five cent luncheons,

some Of the children why they ate at the
schoohouse. They told him that their

eat green pickles, salt herring and tee

long a time that they've lost track Of it,
Mrs Poole said the pennies Of the chill

a hundred or more admring boys and
