EASY LIFE ON A SEA ISLAND

much prettier, but that's all. You

hour, just to have the pleasure of
bathing on a beach that is so much
talked about in the states. / had a
three days trip on the ocean with the
Fortune" since Pm here and that was
a fishing trip around the islands. 1
stood throttle watches for the first
time. Not much to it. We caught
about 1900 pounds of fish; some
weighed about eighty-five pounds.
One man had a. narrow escape, and
that was the dentist. He was fish
ing, and all at once he got bite,
and the fish must have been mon
ster. He was standing on the side
of the ship and pulling in, and the
fish jerked him overheard. If he did
not know how to swim he would have
been out of luck. We rescued him in
four minutes. That is quick time to
turn the ship around and go back. He
was all in, too; if it was a few min
utes more he said he would never
have made it. The man is about As
years old.
We make trips once in while to
the different islands, so l never know
how long we will be gone when we
start out So if you fail to hear from
me every month you will know the
reason.
We also have a German ship here,
captured when war was declared, the
Sof. Also captured the Elsass, a
German ship, which sure is a mon
ster. 1 saw it at Honolulu. 1t was
captured at Tutuila by the force, SO
these fellows told me. The Solf is
named the Samoa now, and the Elsass
is also changed. I do not know her
name.

fine here; have altogether a different
taste from those you get in the states.
Lots of pineapples and cocoanuts. Just
go up in the hills and get bananas by
the bunch. Cocoanuts, no one cares
for them; they let them dry, and send
them to Frisco to make oil out of
them. / ate so much pineapple that

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
IN THE MIDST OF WAR
E x T EN- D INSURANCE
BENEFITS TO WORKERS

In the throes of war European
countries have greatly extended the
benefits of social insurance legisla-
tion, including state administered
health insurance, declares Secretary
John B. Andrews of the American
Association for Labor Legislation in
the American Labor Legislation Re-
view" just issued.
This is brought out in a preliminary
report on the effect of the war upon
protective measures for workers in
the warning countries, ten European
nations having adopted health insur-
ance before the outbreak of hostili-
ties. The information was officially
requested of the association some
months ago by the first I.ational con-
ference of health insurance commits
sioners, representing nine state leg
islatures.
During the war Italy has expanded
her workmen's compensation laws to
include agricultural workers as well
as factory workers, and has also pro-
vided specifically for a commission to
draft a compulsory health insurance
law" says the report. Sweden has
within few months passed a COM
pulsory health insurance law. The
canton of Zurich in Switzerland has
now adopted compulsory health insur-
ance: In England the system of So
cial insurance has been extended in
the midst of war, so that benefits un-
der the workmen's compensation act
have been temporarily iberalized 25
per cent, and under the old age pen
sion law about SO per cent, and the
unemployment insurance law has been
expanded to cover about so per cent
more people.
"England's action is particularly
interesting" the report continues, "be-
cause the British are looking forward
to the time Immediately after peace is
declared for the great rehabilitation
of not only the soldiers and sailors,
but also of the munition workers. They
plan to utilize this unemployment in
surance SO as to cover these men and
women if necessary thru a period of
three years, with very definite guar
antees. Improvements were also
made in the health insurance law
The central powers also, it is reported,
have considerably liberalized their
workmen's compensation and health
insurance systems as well as their old
age pension laws.
"Threadbare is the comment that
most European countries had in times
of peace taken steps in social insur.
ance Legislation far in advance OF
similar developments in the United
States" DR.. Andrews asserts. "O1
greater significance for US now is the
fact that those countries have con-
tinued greatly to extend the benefits
of such legislation in the midst OF
war"

ney without impedimenta of any kind.
These men walked thru swamps COW

dragged out their very souls. Their
shoes wore out and the hardy adven-

the travellers began to grow stupid.
Then came a time when the trio were

lynx and ate it with relish, for by
this time they were out of the good
game country. Then the men grew
deaf, which afterward they knew to
be symptom of starvation. Finally
they reached a river and took three
days to build small raft that, had
they been stronger, half day would
have sufficed to build; but food had

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN.

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid"
Ye are the Christs of this black hour
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul
The sick, the MANNED and the op.
pressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucified
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied!

THE ART OF CRITICISING

Criticism is fair and legitimate
Most of us need to be hit, and hit hard
some times, principally because we
often get the notion that we have a
monopoly of wisdom. This is partic-
ularly true of those who are accus-
toned to have their own way because
for the time being they are placed in
position of authority.
But criticism should be construct
i've rather than destructive. Most
any fool can see the badness and the
weakness in men and things. Faults
are always glaring. But it takes a
wise man to see the good which may
be covered over by the bad. Not to
judge merely by superficial appear
ances requires knowledge.
True criticism does not necessarily
mean a pointing out of weakness. II
may be the discovery Of virtue. How
ever, most criticism is of the other
kind: 1t is just plain, simple "knock-
ing"
Criticism of another generally acts
as boomerang upon the unjust
critic, because the critic is most apt
to point out in another the failing
which is peculiarly his own.
As general proposition it is bet
ter to criticise yourself than to wait
until another fellow gets chance to
criticise you.

AN ANCIENT PEARL FISHERY

The pearl fisheries of Bahrein are
the finest in the world. This little
island in the Persian gulf has been a
Mecca for pearl merchants for over
1000 years. Arabian divers were
plumbing the waters Of the gulf when
julius Caesar ruled in Rome. Per-
haps the pearl Cleopatra drank in
Antony's honor was a Bahrein pearl.
Some of the finest pearls in the world
today were first sold in the markets of
Bahrein. The natives Of the island
say that the pearls are raindrops
caught in the oysters mouth. The
native divers wear peculiar costume
resembling a pair of white overalls.
The dress is to protect against the
bites of sharks, for these dreaded
monsters are supposed to have a dis
taste for white flesh. The costume is
disguise. To complete the outfit the
diver wears a fatam, or clothespin, on
his nose and carries a basket. The
boats push out over the waters, pray
ers are said, and the divers go over
board. Besides the crew the tiny
craft carry an extra man to say the
prayers for the di-ers. They are
something of race of artists, these
hunters Of pearls. loving their work
for its own sake As a rule they work
for wages and the profits go to the
trader who hires them.
