When is a Boat Not a Boat?

Harbor officials are in a quandary
over this question: when is a boat
not a boat?" 1t all comes about
through the popularity of the hydro
ae~roplane, and so far there is no one
connected with the government serv.
ice who seems to be abel to answer it.
The officials whose duties include the
enforcement of the harbor regulations
maintain that it is a boat and as such
comes under the regulations governing
power boats and therefore must COM
ply with the laws by carrying the stip-
ulated equipment of signal horn, lights,
life preservers, etc. On the other hand,
the officials of the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca as stoutly maintain that it is not a
boat, but an aeroplane, and for proof
point to the fact that it must have
Aero club sanction to participate in
competitive events and that its pilots
must operate under an aviator's II.

GREAT o M OF Her. TIME
Margaret Roper, Contemporary Of
Queen Elizabeth, Deserves to Have
Her Name Remembered.

There are some great women in the
age Of Elizabeth as well as great men
who adorned that remarkable period
of adventure and literary activity, but
few of whom had their lame passed
on to future generations. Perhaps the
greatest of these was Margaret Roper,
daughter of Sir Thomas Moore, who
was well skilled in Greek, Latin and
other languages; proficient in the SCI
ences, as then known, and as remark
able for determination and strength OF
character as the great queen herself.
Tradition records that Queen Eliza
beth offered her a ducal %coronet, which
she refused lest it should be consid-
cred as a compromise for what she
considered the judicial murder of her
father by Henry VIII.
The head of Sir Thomas Moore was
stuck on a pole and placed on Lon
don bridge, where it remained IA days.
Margaret Roper determined to gain
possession of this grucsome trophy.
Aubrey tells how she proceeded: "One
day, as she was passing under the
bridge looking up at her fathers head,
she exclaimed, That head has lain
many a time in my lap; would to God
it would fall into my lap as l pass un-
der it. She had her wish for it did
fall into her lap" Aubrey's account
of this miraculous happening is thus
explained: She bribed a bridge keeper
to throw it over the bridge when
he should see her passing under in q
boat, and the exclamation that she
made was a cue devised between her
and the bridge keeper. When sum-
moned before the council for having
the head in her possession, she bold
ly declared that her fathers head
should never be food for fishes" For
this she was imprisoned, but wal soon
liberated. She retained the head,
which she had enclosed in a leaden
box and preserved with the tenderest
devotion.

TESTING Wool Fabrics.

Two good ways of telling whether
or not the cloth you buy for "all
WOOL is really what it is represented
to be are given by Miss Anabell Turn
er of the home economics department
of the University of Wisconsin in the
Rural New Yorker.
"Unravel a sample of the material
exposing the warp and welt threads
separately" she says. Wool fibers
are more curly than the cotton. Then
burn some of the threads; if cotton,
they will burn quickly; if wool, more
slowly with an odor like that Of burn
ing feathers or bone.
IF cotton and wool have been spun
together in the same thread the
above test is not reliable. In such a
case, the alkali test should be used.
Mix together one tablespoonful OF
Lewis lye and one pint Of water.
Place the sample of goods in a gran
lite dish, cover with solution, and boil
for five minutes. At the end of this
time all the wool will be dissolved
out leaving the cotton intact, so that
it is easy to see how much cotton was
used to %adulterate the pure wool
fabric"

Cheapest Investment Farmer Can
Make 10 Purchase Of Pure Bred
Bull to Build Up Herd.

(By RAY p. SPEER, Minnesota College
Of Agriculture.)
1t has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who is
trying to build up the standard OF a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase OF
a good pure bred bull. 1t is not nee
essary to buy several high priced fe-
males as a basis for the average herd,
nor is 1t economical.
A striking proof of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit at
various state fairs last fall. One or
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair judge had to
choose between two cows with the
same dam, but sired by different bulls,
for the female championship OF the
breed. So strikingly similar in type
was each of them to it's own sire,
though the dam was the same, that
there was no trouble in distinguishing
between the two. The n that mao
been produced by the more outstand-
ing sire was SO superior to the one
that had been produced by the less SUI
perior bull that there was no trouble
about the selection.
The principle illustrated Is OF prac-
tical value to the farmer who is THINK
ing of beginning a herd with limited
capital, or has a very common hero
that he desires to grade up. An aver
age group of calves will be far SUI
perior to their commonly bred mothers
if a good pure bred bull is used. Sucn
a bull can be purchased very reason
ably if proper care is taken by the
purchaser. ~

WHEN THE SEA TAKES TOLL
Lone Survivor Of Gallant Crew All
That the Life Savers Might Bring
Through the Breakers.

The vessel fought in that last half
hour as it had fought all day-game-
ly, but without hope. Those who
watched from the lee shore saw the
wheelhouse, like a smashed match
box; saw the crazed, demented move
ments in the %cauldron, drifting here
and there, but always terribly shore
ward. Sea followed sea in wild con-
fusion, a great jungle of mad mon
sters, foaming white at the mouth,
roaring, snarling, swapping with. vi
cious teeth. 1t was nearer now. Only
q few minutes to live. A great,
shaggy brute, bigger and wilder than
the rest, charged it, caught it as 1t
were on the tusks and threw it high to
where it struck, beaten at last, with
it's nose on the outer rocks.
The first rocket was true, but as
the line fell across the deck a great
green monster sprang forward n
downward. Only two men remained
where there had been seven. The sec
ond line fell clear, but the third land
ed, and the survivors made it fast to
a winch. The chair vas half way
out to them when the next cruel
charge came. 1t beat. n of them
for, when the shining cataracts rolled
from the deck it was a solitary figure
hat chung with arms and legs to the
slippery metal. The buoy was wait
ing for him, but he dared not move.
He chose his chance well, toppled
across the perilous deck and got him
self into the seat. Blinded and stung,
he gripped the rope and was dragged
through the welter of waters. His
look was the look of a drowned man
and his chilled hands held the rope
with what seemed a death grip. 1t
was only by force that the rescuers
could u~nloosen the stiffened fingers
and carry him to the station.
He gave no sign for a long while,
and even when he breathed again an
hour passed before he found his
| tongue. He lay there with blank eyes,
his mouth half open, his jaw loose, no
look of comprehension on his face.
| Not a word did he speak until, outside
in the shed, the station mascot set to
barking at the wind.
The man moved ~uneasily.
"On de ship" he said, very slowly,
each word apart. ION de ship l hat

They Were Engaged, but Jim
Finally Married Another

Mas an old SLAYER, put. since the war,
to the happier task of running car
goes between Portland and Boston
land other seaports along the Atlantic
$coast. jim Purvis was the SON OF
THE Aquamuskat banker, and he was
put under the care of the skipper be-
cause he was wild. His father thought
a taste of s~eafaring life might cure
} him.
Perhaps it would have done, had
not the Rochester gone to pieces
in an Atlantic gale. All that was
ever found of her was a piece OF tim
Der with the name ON it, and an empty
water-keg. 1t was a frequent Incl
dent; nobody remembered it after a
month had gone, except the families
of the bereaved men, their friends
and sweethearts.
But TiIlie Bent had to break the
news to Millicent Ives. The dead
mans father dared not do il. Mill
ecent was Jim's sweet heart and they
were to have been married that fall,
If Jim were cured of his propensity
to roam. Millicent was a cold and
rather heartless girl, but the old
banker, who had made the match,
thought her the acme of all that a
oma should be. The Ives family
was a very old one and lived in a big
house in the same town as the banker.
They were the two rich families OF
Aquamuskat.
Tillie was only the maid. She had
gone to school with Millicent, but
when her father died and the little
farm was sold there was no way in
which she could earn a livelihood ex-
cept by service. She was a simple
country girl. With better chances she
might have become anything. But
she had no resources and she was
not beautiful; she took the only
course open to her.
