ENGLAND'S GREATEST
 SAfE EGUARD.

Il has been great many years slnce Britain has found herself i'll d position of defense against an enemy who threatened her home soil. for de- spite the recurring conflicts i'll which she has taken part on the neighboring continent, that narrow strip of water iSIns along her soutneasteln coast, known as the English Channel, has ever been a most effective bar to the aggres slon of d hostile nation, and has afford cd her a protection and d refuge which few of her many foes have hoped to overcome. Not since the great Ma poleons combined French and Spanish fleet under Nilleneuve. which was to suard the passage of his magnificent ,..r.a in,a "Slf SSlafTpd,Sf q shores, was scat armed force attempted the invasion of her soil. And even lie, with his i'm placa ble hatred of the English and regardless of the mighty resources al his command. exclaimed impatiently. when the news of Nelson's victory was brought to him after Austerlitz:
 Let the English have their sea"
 Napolean had waited at Cologne for months for the opportunity to cross that narrow strip of water lying be- tween his dearest enemy and himself but all to no purpose. At still earlier period the vast fleet assembled hy Phillip Il known as the "InVincible Armada" was first hurled back in wild disorder and later almost utterly de- strOyed. not so much by the action of the British fleet as by the sea that so rovidcntially surrounds the English shores. It is also recorded that Caesar himself, while waiting to cross from the northern coast of France, realized the futility of attempting the subjuga- ton of England owing to that same slender line of water and memorialized his view in the words That little strip of water which we wait to cross. will play q more important part in the worlds history than even it's greatest seas"

to the island of Guam has given the

for it with the longing of mad desire,
writes Hazel Pedlar in the San Fran

They have been content through
centuries with their woven floor mats
and their stone stoves spread out in
their lean-to kitchens. Through gen.
erations of the Chamorro people men
have been satisfied with the meager
returns from their primitive farming.
They needed money only to pay taxes.
There was little it would buy save
rice in famine times, a little sugar
now and then as a luxury, and plug
Of tobacco as great extravaganza.
But the coming Of the white men,
wearing the uniforms of Uncle Sam,
has changed all that The introduo
ton Of goods of all classes and the i'm

of American origin, have given the
natives new ideas and new tastes.
They need money to buy the white
mans wares.
But above all, they have seen the
household furniture of American man
ufacture, and they know no peace un
til they have acquired at least one sam
pie. They care not whether it be stove
or bureau, chiffonier or table. Posses

Their mode of life is similar to Euro

dent on the island.
The coming of the United States
marines and their officers has had its
effect On the dress of the natives. The
men of the middle class wear whites
the coat fastened up to the neck IN
military fashion, but with tails like
shirt on the outside Of the loose
trousers. They wear a straw hat, or
an imported felt one; and when at
home wear halfslippers without stock
ings. The wife and daughters usually
wear trailing skirt of silk muslin
and full, low-necked, wide-sleeved
blouse of stiff pima cloth. over which
a wide kerchief is frequently draped.
| The youngest daughters are often
| dressed in American fashion.
! The lower classes differ in appear
ance from the higher classes, fact

They are peaceful, good-natursd and
law-abiding people, industrious after
their own limited fashion and sensi-
tive and clannish to degree.
No Race Suicide Here.
The natives are homogeneous and
race suicide is a thing not to be
feared. A mother thirty-two years old
has been found with fifteen children,
two sets of twins in the number; and
large families are the rule rather than
the exception.
Wedding customs among the Cham
