calities need balk her Half the time she
might give to the preparation of themes
to be read before a woman's club, if
spent reading the trade journals and
technical books pertaining to her hus-
bands work, will give her a good grasp
of what he is doing and thinking about
every day.
Business is always based on the
needs of human beings, and it is always
going somewhere. Perfectly stunning
problems and controversies arise in
every trade and profession, far more in
teresting than politics, and often more
interesting than murder trial, because
so directly involved with ones own bread
and butter. These affairs can all be fol-
lowed in the printed matter about a
given line of business, and there is
nothing in woman's mentality that pre-
vents her understanding them, because
thousands of women already understand
them as workers.
1t is a curious fact about the knotter
technical points that the technical man
himself, who would talk or write alb
strusely to another technical chap, will
clear them up in everyday terms in eX-
planning them to child If an interested
woman takes pains to catch enough of
the drift of a mans work through read
ing, so that she can ask intelligent ques-
tions she will lay the foundation for
comradeship of work, and soon have
sound knowledge.

her husband, and through her sugges-

How One Woman Helped

THE wife of department-store buyer
picked up some dry-goods journals
thrown away by her husband. They
contained advance fashion notes that
interested her. and these led her into
other dry-goods subjects Costs of SELL
ing, delivering, and exchanging goods,
matters with which she was familiar as
an individual shopper here ran into
massed totals that made serious business
problems. Some of the problems fell
right in her own husbands department,
for he had the piece goods, and these We're
being hurt by ready-to-wear garments.
One day she read an article on the in
fuence of paper patterns in selling piece
goods and trimmings. 1t told of a buyer
in another city who had built up these
lines by placing the paper patterns near
the entrance of the store. Every pat

NV THEN you stand on Brooklyn
w I Bridge, New York. watching a
" deeply laden freighter being
w snaked down to sea behind a
consort of tugs, you picture her warping
into Havre or Rio Janeiro or Liverpool
few brief weeks later. The captain wishes
he could share your optimism. One ship
in every two hundred that start on
long journey is either never reported or
she is salvaged under trying circumstances.
This record does not take into account
the hazard of war.
All sailors do not die at their posts,
but so many of them do that if your son
sets his heart on a seafaring career, try
to persuade him to become an aviator
instead. Even on the Great Lakes,
which are held in contempt by saltwater
sailors, more than three thousand acct
dents have happened in the last ten
years of record.
Modern science has helped tremen-
dously in making the sea safe; but it
has added danger in almost the same
ratio by devising highly dangerous car
goes. Columbus had small boat, but
he did not carry hand grenades. Magel-
Ian circumnavgated the globe with ships
that would hardly pass inspection for
river duty now; but he did not have to
carry unslaked lime Marquette dared
the treacherous waters of Lake Huron
in canoe, but he was not carrying
metallic sodium.
Under the jurisdiction of the Gov
eminent Steamship Service 232 ship
accidents were investigated in 1914, in
Guiding fires at sea, laundering, boiler
explosions, collisions, and miscellaneous
casualties.
1t was snarling sea that wound up
the career of the steamer Guillemot, of
London. A few nights before Christmas
in 1911, she was snoring down the Bay
of Biscay, laden as good ship never
should be laden. Below decks cargo
was slowed to her hatch covers. On
the forward deck, 80 barrels of tallow
and 1913 drums of oil We're dashed. In
the midst of the tallow and oil spare
propeller wheel was cleated down. The
men who attended to it's Cheating were
quite sure it could not be shaken loose.
Perhaps they were longshoremen.
While the Guillenot waged battle with
the Bay of Biscay, the propeller wheel
broke loose from its fastening and started

Consider also the lime-carriers of
Rockland, Maine. These ships are
manned by the hardest seafarers to be
found on any coast. When lime boat
springs leak, or when a few gallons of
bilge water finds its way into the treach-
erous cargo, she goes up in smoke. In
slaked lime starts a fire that nothing can
quench. Metallic sodium is another
cargo not very popular with the men
who go down to the sea in ships.
The Marie Celeste gave us one of the
perpetual mysteries of the sea which
read something after this fashion:
making Seaway III zigzag manner, with her
wheel unlaShed Meat, freshly cut reposed
alongside the skillet in the galley. The log
had disappeared No records We're left. No
trace of the crew was ever found
The latest and most plausible explana-
ton of the abandoned Marie Celeste came
from the lips of an old Scots captain who,
when | met him, owned and ran little
tramp schooner among the South Pacific
islands. The Marie Celeste. declared he,
was laden with casks of alcohol, which
leaked, and the fumes, squirting through
the hatch seams, resembled live flames,
which frightened the crew away.
The old-fashoned dangers of the sea
still exist in some parts of the world.
Not without reason did Lloyds, before
the war, charge the highest sea-insurance
rates for ships that took the inland pas
sage to Skagway, Alaska. The inland
or island passage, is alive with sub
merged pinnacle rocks. Until recently
the charting of each pinnacle meant the
loss of a Ship for in no other way could
II pinnacle be discovered
The State Of California left the Gam
bier Bay cannery dock in calm water, /.
and four minutes later struck pinnacle
and foundered. This dangerous channel
Is now being charted, and the most
treacherous pinnacles dynamited.
Gales and desert islands and pinnacle
rocks will continue to play some part IN
the romance of the sea. But it seems
probable that the adventuresome tales
told by the mariner of the future will be
based more and more upon such Incl.
dents as the runaway propeller wheel
and the cargo of sodium; because from
such commercializcd materials as these
is the real story of the sea now being
written.

In the sheltered waters of Lake Michigan
more than three thousand accidents
occurred to ships between the years 1901
and 1910. Lake freighters are long and
thin. Often they break in half, due to
stress ofwavesand badly distributed cargo.
Yet Great Lake freighters are not
wrecked by breaking in half nearly so
often as they are wrecked by shifting
cargo. The cargo holds are huge iron
tanks In heavy sea slippery cargoes, y
such as fiaxseed, often shift to port or
starboard as the vessel veers in changing
her course, and a slow capszing, a rush to
the llfe-boats, are the usual consequences.

Women Lend Enthusiasm

EVEN a little old-fashioned womanly
sympathy from the wife who is gen.
uine comrade is necessary to business
man at times. Business men are supposed
to be cool and calculating. But they get
into tight corners oftener than one would
suspect, get knocked down tempera-
mentally, and have worries that obsess
and keep them awake nights. Plans go
wrong, subordinates fall short of expec-
tations, competitors press in, details go
awry. There are times when a business
man is only part of himself, and can
hardly see beyond the end of his nose.
Then he needs somebody to check worry,
rekindle hope and enthusiasm, look off
into the distance and away into the
future, and help him be the whole of
himself again. That is a woman's job.
Any wife can readily enter into her
husbands business interests if she will
take the trouble. And it is not much
trouble. Nothing in the way of techni-

The crew was ordered to capture the
runaway wheel. They answered hero
ically enough; but, one by one, they
went down, slipping and sprawling upon
the oily deck. By this time the devas-
tating wheel had done serious harm to
the vessel herself. Hatch covers were
cracked, and the bows, dipping like
submarine under the overload of cargo,
shipped masses of green water, which
cascaded into the hold.
When the pumps were manned, the
valves were helplessly clogged with tai
low, and the Guillemot went to the bot
tom, tribute to careless commerce or.
