GUNS OR NO GUNS

While everybody has been discussing whether ships should be armed unarmed and which kind Americans should travel on, little attention has been given to the travellers viewpoint. How would the question affect you, if you had to cross the Atlantic?
 To begin with it would depend largely on where you going. If you bound for England France you would probably take passage English French ship neither of these cases would the problem of arise all France has no guns on any of her merchantmen so concerned with the troversy raised by Germanys threat sink armed chant ships without warning Great Britain while she stoutly maintains her right to arm merchantmen for defensive" purposes matter of fact has mounted any liners plying to American ports.
 If bound for Italy you would probably be ob liged to go armed ship, for Italy has insisted mounting guns on her liners.
 But suppose had the power of choice any given case-would you chose armed or an unarmed ship? The problem isn't simple as international lawyers would have appear On the ship you safe from assassinationin theory As matter of fact the class of ships has far been little immune from attack than the other.

It Is unfortunate. according to the

most people associate the word zen.
gineer' with a man who runs an en-
CINE or a boiler. Even the man who
operates the boilers of an apartment
building is called an engineer" al.
though the name is entirely a mis-
homer when applied to him. He may
be a good mechanic, but he is not an
engineer. The gray haired man who
drives the locomotive of a transconti-
mental limited and who holds the lives
Of hundreds Of human beings in his
care belongs to the very highest type
Of mechanic, but he is not an engineer,
except in the United States and Cana
da. All foreign languages have words
that properly designate the work these
men are doing. In our country there
is no word to distinguish them from
the bridge builder, the sanitary expert,
etc.

Qaxil Worship In Tiblx.

The religion inculcated by Buddha
had certain cardinal points-the en-
enlargement Of the ascetic life. the
maintenance Of virtue, the exhortaAon
to persons Of all castles and both sexes

existence and. lastly, the attainment OF
Nirvana.
But in Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on to the earlier devil worship
of the people. and religion has been
evolved better expressed as Lamaism.
or modified devil worship, SO that In
addition to the Buddhas and Bodisats
there have also come to be tutelary
and guardian deities Of a terrifying
and malignant aspect, whose duty 1t Is
to defend the faith and the faithful

deities are depicted in grotesque and
terrible forms In all the monasteries.
