of basket ball and has trained hundreds OF
athletes and kept thousands Of students physically

"Sob letters and nightgowns were the most wor-
rying and useless things the boys on the border
received frnm home" said Doctor Naismith
"Write that boy twice a week. Send him
the home paper. He may not prompt about
writing home, but never forget he has an in
satiable appetite for home letters and the home
paper His appetite for sweets, too, is very keen.
The army ration wholesome and nourIshino

HOW LIFEBOAT
ORIGINATED
ggee9 ee99ee99ggeg9gSg9gSg99gg99ee

The lifeboat is a very modern contrivance. 1t is
to be generally used. In the old days sea captain
greatly resented even the suggestion tnat HIS VeS
sol should carry lifeboats.
At the period when these boats still were an e1-
pertinent a remarkable feat Of ufe-saving was
performed the New Jersey coast at point
now within the precincts Of Asbury ParK'
Joseph Francis an inventor, had brought 1ortn
device made Of iron and shaped like boat WIN
lid which could be shut, thus keeping out the
water Francis contended that In case OF snip
wreck near shore line could be made fast De-
tween the vessel and the coast, and his quaint
l,feboat hauled back and forth, carrying several
persons each trip.
Francis was the butt Of much humor, and ms
,ife-saving boat, which commonly called
kettle because of its odd shape, became supJect
FOR general derision Then vessel bearing lhe
name of Ayrshire wrecked in 1S4l OH the
Jersey coast. It had large passenger llst anu
sreat loss Of life seemed inevitable. FRANCIS
rushed to the scene got a line to the snip anu
started his boat upon Its first emergency test ne
must have been lost otherwise, for the sea was 80
rough that no ordinary boat could have ever
reached land from the wreck
In recognition Of his skill and bravery, congress
presented Francis with the largest gold medai
over given by that body. 1t was made OF pure
gold two-thirds Of an inch thick, and was OF
about the same size a tea plate. The boat de-
yised by Francis might still be In use were 1t not
for the breeches buoy. Because OF the BOATS
size weight and general clumsiness 1t was difficult
to handle But 1t was none the less practical, and
paved the way for the breeches buoy operated on
tha same principle.
