amendments 10 the seamen's law.
particularly with regard TO the one

boat men TO be substituted for able
seamen, when the latter are not
available.
The enactment Of that one amend
ment. Mr.. Schantz points out. Will
mean a great deal to the companies

Great Lakes. some OF which now are
seriously handicapped by a shortage
OF men. II also will provide against
certain emergencies. as seamen now
may leave their boat during a trip.

we're Immediately obtainable.
Three amendments TO the sea

ton relating TO the substitution OF
lifeboat men that Is OF paramount
Importance TO the vesselmen. I'm
der the law at present. crews may
leave a boat at any port. II able
seamen are not at once obtainable.

The other amendments provide for
abolishing the three-watch system.

Ii may readily De seen mat there is
no need for a three-watch system
on the lakes when few OF the boats

Perhaps you have seen butter.

South or Central America.
A pretty little story Is told about
these birds of Costa Rica 1t Is
said the Indians were always very
good 10 all birds and that some
birds the Indians would allow no
one TO harm them under any circum.
stances. AS result, the birds were
tame.
So when Columbus and his men
landed upon the shores OF Costa
Rica the birds came down 10 give
them cheerful welcome. But the
Spaniards with stones and arrow
killed many birds. The rest few
away and told the other birds
throughout the island what wicked
things had been done TO them.
or course the little birds could
not tell Sraniard from an Indian.
and so they soon began 10 fly away
whenever they saw any man.
II made the Indians feel badly "a
have the birds afraid OF them The
Indians therefore felt very bitter
toward the Spanlards for their Ill.
treatment of the birds. Hence the
Indians determined 10 drive Column

Rica. This was the beginning Of
the fight between the Spanish and
the natives. Finally the Spanish
won.
