Collectora.

Collectors as rule are egotists and thieves. They are often leading citt zens in the great republic of Bores. One man will buttonhole you in the street while he tells you in ghastly detail how he finally secured the auto graph of the fourth governor of Georgia. Another will describe min utely his collection of photographs of all the women who have yet taken the part of Carmen. We know an other wise blameless person who collected monograms. What one of us has not at some time dwelt in this Arcadia When we were boys 1t was either . collection of coins, beginning with cop per cents of the United States, post age stamps. or names of locomotive engines. How many had the fore sight to keep their coins and stamps? They were scattered. or they disap- peared, together with little book re lating to adventures of Alexander Selkirk, that book with deep green covers and wood cuts apparently cut with jackknife. For it we would now gladly exchange Q complete and luxurious set of books by any author livtng.- Boston Herald.

MAY REGULATE SPEED
OF SHIPS DURING FOG
Bureau of Navigation May Ask
Restrictive Legislation to
Hold Owners Responsible.

LEGISLATION to restrict the speed OF
coastwise vessels in fogs is probable as
the result OF the disaster of the Vir-
ginia coast when the Monroe was sunk
by the Nantucket with a loss OF forty
one lives. Investigation OF present
maritime laws is said to have shown
present penalties to be so inadequate
that additional national legislation is
needed.
Asslstent Secretary Of Commerce
Sweet, who will direct the investigation
of the Monroe disaster is looking into
the question Of what responsibility can
be placed at the door of ship owners
in case of disasters due to excessive
speed. Testimony of ship owners In
former hearings now in the hands of
the department indicate that set stand
ards Of speed have been set by the
owners by which boat officers are ex-
pected to be guided.
Under present laws the Bureau of
Navigation is practically restricted to
revoking a masters license or assessing
small fine while there are inadequate
provisions for holding the owners Liable.
Assistant Secretary Sweet Is expected
to appear before committees OF Con-
gress on this question.
