The interesting news comes from Paris that d
ministerial decree abolishes the OF the words
'tribord' and "abord" (starboard and port) on
all French ships, in favor of the simple right
and cleft" as commands to stecrsmen. The reason
given for the change is that vessels safety is
likely to be compromised by possible confusion
due to the similarity of the two expressions. Many
years ago the term port" substituted for
Iarboard" on ships manned by English-speaking
:rcws to avoid confusion with "starboard." 1t

ish right and left" in the United States navy
soon after he took Office, which made him the tar

Paris dispatch indicates, however that Secretary
Daniels was not the originator of "left and right
o designate the sides of ship, but that the terms
lave been in use in the French navy since 1884
Now that the system has been extended to all
French shipping, it probably will not be long be-
orc it is adopted by British cousins.

WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE DONE
Inquiry That Would at Least Have
Shown That Husband Was Not
Altogether Indifferent.

Mrs. Enderly. wife of Judge Ender-
ly, of small Missouri town. con-
planned one day that she had acct
dentally swallowed a button, which
she was holding in her mouth prepar-
atory to attaching to some garment.
AS the lady was rather given to
making great ado over trivial mishaps.
and as the Judge was much preoccu-
pied, he did not pay much heed. Soon
after, however, finding her in tears,
he made kindly inquiry as to their
cause.
ITS your heartless in-indifference
to anything that h-happens to me,
sobbed the aggrieved little woman. II

enough interest in it to inquire w-what
kind of b-button 1t was."-Youth's
