RULE OF THUMB NAVIGATION
New England Sailors Stick to Sextant
and Care Little for New-FangIed
Nautical Instruments.

Edward Hungerford, who made an
investigation for Everybody's to find
out where the men are coming from

some interesting incidents showing the
New England sailors independence of

EVERYBODY DENIES
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
NORMAL HEAD STORY
State Auditor Kositzky Admits
Now That He Was Wrong
Taylor in the Dark

There is very unanimous denial
on the part of state officials today OF
responsibility for printing in the Off.
cial directory Of state officers the
name of Edward j. Taylor, former
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, as the president OF the new Dick
inson normal.
Mr. Taylor, himself, had heard moth
ing of the alleged appointment until
he saw yesterdays story in The Tri-
bune, which emanated from Dickinson,
the home of the new state normal,
and which was carried by the Dick
inson Press last week.
Bright and early this morning State
Auditor KOsitzky, who was out Of
town yesterday and could not be
reached, called up The Tribune aid
advised that he had made mistake
in presenting the name Of Mr.. Taylor
as head of the Dickinson normal
AS stated yesterday, the state board
of regents has been from the start sill
ent on this subject having no inten-
ton of making an appointment, or at
least of announcing the appointment
nov, for an office which il: not to be
filled for year.
Secretary Brewer OF the state board
advised yesterday tina! he had endeav-
ored without success; to learn the
source of the information upon which
State Auditor Kositzky published the
appointment of Mr.. Taylor as head Of
the new normal.
Although the official directory has
been out several weeks, the fact that
his name appeared therein as head of
the new normal had not been brought
to Mr.. Taylor's attention until the ap-
pearance of the Dickinson story last
evening. He denies absolutely any
knowledge of such appointment and
regrets that his name has been used
in connection with the story.
Inadvertently, it was stated in the
Dickinson story that Mr.. Taylor was
defeated for reelection last fall by
Mr.. Macdonald. Mr.. Talyor was not
candidate at the primaries or in the
general election, having declined to
make another race for the office Of
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton. Mr. MacdOnald's opponent last
fall was w. 4. Hoover Of Fargo.

FOREIGN BORN
CITIZENS ARE
CHANGING MIND
Many Aliens Considered Natural
lied Americans Discover When
Drafted They re Not

The alien who has been voting oc-
casionally, holding Office. even, and
otherwise availing himself of the priv.
ileges of citizenship but who now
seeks to avoid paying the penalty of
American citizenship by representing
himself as an unnaturalized alien, pre-.
sents Il problem to the local exemp.
ton boards Of North Dakota.
A number of instances of this kind
have been reported to the district
board. In many cases, it is stated,
the claimant for exemption as an alien
has succeeded in amassing a tidy for.
tune during his residence here; his
rights as a citizen never have been
questioned, and he never has hesitat.
ed to avail himself of such rights, but
now that he is asked to do his bit for
Uncle Sam he suddenly discovers that
he is subject of some other country.
The practice in such cases seems
to be to place the burden of proof on
the shoulders of the alien. Unless he
can satisfy the board that he is not
a citizen, he is considered as an Amer.
lean, and if accepted, is certified to
the district board as SUCH In any
event aftidavits of. such registrants
cannot be easily verified.
The board has completed certifying
lists of accepted registrants for the
present to county boards and the ad-
jutant general, and the next two days
will be devoted to preparations for tho
consideration Of agricultural and &C.
cupational claims and of appeals. Next
Monday it is anticipated more names
will be ready to certify.

Mr. keade regards the support
which the supreme court has given his
office as a most effective weapon in
procuring more complete compliance
with the orders which he finds it ne
cessary to issue. In the town where
twelve buildings were condemned by
the fire marshal last week, every one
of them was real menace, and their
being cleared out will reduce the fire

A Good Listener.

The horse is really one of the best
listeners in the world. He is always
on the alert for sounds which concern
or interest him.. When he looks at
anything he turns his ears towards it
to observe the better whether any
sound comes from it. If horse is
particularly interested in your driving

horse at a greater distance than the
average man can hear it.-Boston
