One OF the oldest structures In the
limited States is the lighthouse at
Cape Henry. Va. on the spot WHICH,
Capt. John smith first landed.
Doubtless our ancestors thought
they had done everything that was
required Of them to protect shipping
when the calm, steady light OF cape
Henrv flashed out over the turbulent
waters Of the Atlantic. But II was
not long before they realized that
when the light was most needed II
could not be seen-the envelopins
fog, the curtain of snow. the whirl-
ing sheet Of rain would blot It CUT.
In order that this difficulty might
be overcome. floating buoys with
bells and whistles attached, were en-
chored far out at sea- But even
they proved Intellectual. The lash
ing waves. the boisterous wind dead
ened the sound
Then the Government made still
another effort to prevent loss in
shipping. and that has proven the
most effective. but the most expen-
sive-tae life-saving station. Here.
night after night, on calm summer
evenings as well as stormy nights.
the beach patrol walks up and down.
Many a night / have watched them
and have said to myself: mo ship
could come to harm on such night
as this unless 1t we're by pure neg
lect or lack Of attention to the chart
ard compass"
Save First, Blame Afterward.
One clear night. when the light
threw it's bright path across the
smooth waters and the buoy bells
rang clear. a great ship came into
sight over the horizon and appar-
emily without any attention to the
chart or guides headed straight for
the shore. No one realized this I'M
til It was too late TO give warning.
The officer on the bridge had mis-
taken the light of passing electric
car for the light house.
Did the li:e-saving crew wait to
argue " no was to blame? No. They
launched the lifeboats and II was
only after every person was safe
ashore that any thought was given
as to where the blame lay.
This is the lesson that the Govern
ment teaches and it is we'll for Us

to standarriize our activities simi-
larry. Let every dangerous place IN
life be marked by a sign post.
Train the bells of conscience
to be sensitive to the slightest
disturbance. But after we have
done all these things let US still
have sympathy for the weak
nesses and the frailty of youth,
which frequently follows an
ignis fatuus, mistaking it for the
fixed North Star.
Public Recreation.
In our scheme of life we must not
forget to make proper provision for
recreation and amusement ''All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" This fact is being realized in
regard to school children by the pro-
vision which is being made in all
municipalities for Fairgrounds. But
unfortunately when children get be-
yond the playground age. there is
very little consideration given to
their need.
People of moderate means can
patronise only free amusements or
else those that are cheap. There Is
a great deal Of free amusements fur
nished in every city, but nothing like
as much as there should be and
could be, il only intelligent per-
sons could appreciate the need Tn
