Every Precauti'onr Taken to
Avert Disaster and
Cope With It.

~ INCE the sinking of the Titanic,
~ that appalling disaster which. on
~ April ii. 1912. cost 1903 lives,
there has been increased agita-
ton for greater security Of vessels and
passengers at sea. This question has
been the subject Of exhaustive consid-
Grafton by the revision committee of
the international congress on safety at
sea. At the recent conclusion Of this
convention in London fourteen nations
signed new ocean traffic rules. 1t was
decided that the text Of the convention
and annexed rules should not be OFF,
cially published until Feb. Is in order
to give the delegations from the va
rious countries in the pact ample time
to communicate the same to their re-
spective governments.
The governments that signed the sea
safety pact are Great Britain. the
United States. Germany. France, Italy,
Spain, Sweden, Norway, Canada. Aus
.tralia, New Zealand, Holland, Belgium
and Denmark. Other countries were
given the privilege Of coming into the
convention up to Jan. 81. The treaty
will be in force July /. 1916 after rati-
fication by the various states.
Under United States Control.
Lord Mersey, president Of the con-
ference, describes the new sea treaty
as follows:
can international service is to be es-
tablished by the nations chiefly inter
ested for the purpose of an ice patrol
and ice observation as well as the de-
struction of derelicts in the north At
lantic It is to be under the control of
the United States. This service is to
take over and continue the work done
by the two vessels employed by the
United States in 1928 in locating
ice, in determining it's limits to the
south, the east and the west and in
keeping in touch with it as it moves
southwark. in order that vessels may
be kept informed by wireless telegra
ply of it's position.
t'The service also will continue the
ice observation work started last year

1000 miles from land. &. N
Division Of Watches.
Vessels in the second category, new
ertheless, are required to keep watch
tor at least seven hours day, besides
a watch Of ten minutes each hour.
Wireless apparatus must have a.
range Of at least 100 miles and an
emergency apparatus placed in the
safest place unless the main installa-
ton is in the highest part OF the ship
in conditions Of the greatest safety.
The master of ship in distress is
to have the right to call for assistance
among vessels which have answered
his appeal from those vessels which. he
thinks are best able to render him as
sistance. The other vessels may then
proceed on their voyage.
The convention lays down that there
must be accommodate ton in lifeboats or
their equivalents for all persons on
board ship. Lifeboats are divided
into two classes. the first of which
comprises the ordinary open boats and
other boats with fixed sides and the
second of which is composed of boats
having upper parts Of their sides col
lapsible.
Every vessel must be equipped with,
a minimum number Of davits or equiv
| alent appliances which vary accord
ing to the length of the ship. Each
davit must have lifeboat of the first
class attached to it, and thereafter ad-
ditional boats must be provided until
the provision has been made to accom-
| modate Is per cent Of the total persons
on board. If further accommodation
be required it may be provided in the
shape of lifeboats or approved pom
toon life RATS.
The convention DEGREES that as large
a number as possible Of the boats and
RATS must be capable of being launch
ed from either side of the ship, so that
as few as possible need to be launch
ed from the weather side Special life
jackets for children also must be pro-
vided.
Lifeboat Crews.
There must be minimum number
Of the crew who are competent to ham
die boats and RATS. For boat or raft
carrying not more than sixty persons

fixed at three, with additional num-
bers for larger boats or RATS. These
men must hold certificates of compe-
tency issued under government au-
thority.

forbidden.

| her knowledge and at the manner in which she had learned to talk. She was
 able to talk, to "hear" other people by watching their faces and their lips, this though she had not taken any course in lip reading other than what her mother had taught her. She was given a front seat in school, where she could watch the teachers lips. In this way she understood Perfectly all that was said. She obtained high grades in all her studies as Is proven by certificates given her during her eight years in the grammar schools. In the meantime Mrs. Britton taught her at home and with every year her power of speech grew greater. She had her take vocal lessons, believing that although she might never sing, she at least might strengthen her voice in this way. She showed natural love for painting Her house in Savannah contains many clever works from her brush.
 She has mastered the violin through vibration and reads the notes. It is through the floors vibrations, it is said, that she is able to dance well and keeps excellent time.
 This young girl, whose former home was here and who has friends in Bir- mingham, is a wonderful example of the completeness with such difficulties as those surmounted by wonderful Helen Kellar may be overcome Her story should bring hope to others who are sim ilarly handicapped.

 troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
 any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound you'll get a
 large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray. Try it!; No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and even ly. You dampen sponge or soft tEbrush with 1t and draw this through y6,ir hair. taking one small strand at a time ' by morning the gray hair disappears. and after anotherl application or two, your hair becomes) beautifully dark. thick and glossy.
