UNITED STATES Can
MASTER SEAS anytime

In other days Yankee ships and
sailors were able to win the CON-
merce of the. world against competi-
ton because of native enterprise
brains, and seamanship.
They were enormously hanmepered
by numberless tonnage, customs, and
neutrality regulations. There were
the risks of the sea, of uncharted
unlighted coasts and reefs and ISL
ands. and a plague of ferocious pir-
ates and lawless privateers who
haunted the Spanish Main to NADIA
gascar.
Notwithstanding all these grievous
handicaps, American ships and sail
ors prospered and multiplied nor did
they stay at home and whine that
they could not compete with the
more favored. merchant navies OF
England and the Continent. They
took and held their commanding
share Of the worlds trade, because
they had to have it. They wanted
it earnestly enough to go out and
get it.
Whenever the United States shall
really desire to regain her proud
place among the maritime nations
the minds Of her captains of indus
try will find a way to achieve it and
her legislators will solve their share
Of the problem.-Ralph D. Paine,

Y. w. c. A. NOTES

At the business meeting of the
Patriotic league OF the Y. W. c. A:
last night the girls decided to pay
5 cents a month for the support of
the Belgian orphan whom the
league adopted. A box has been
placed in the hall in which the girls
are requested to place all their old
kid gloves and hose. 1t has been
found that even these cast-off gar
ments have part in the war. The
leather makes a splendid lining for
the coats of aviators and the mate
rial in the hose can be used in max
ing the refuge garments. A box
will also be placed on the desk in
which loose change can be placed
for the help of the Belgians.
Monday the Patriotic league will
go to the Watch Tower cottage for
supper. served at $50. Girls in
tending to go should register at the
desk on or before Friday. The fee
is to be % cents.
Friday night the o. l. c. will have
a 25 cent supper at the cottage az
the Watch Tower. 1t will be served
at $50.
Tickets for the tennis courts can
be procured at the association
rooms or from Mrs. Lee Kaupke,

BRIDGE TOO NARROW,
HOUSE is WEDGED IN

THE houe on the bridge No, its
not the title of the newest best
seller nor the latest play. 1t is a
fact, for there is a house damned
in tight on the bridge that spans
the ravine through which the Watch
Tower street cars Wend their way.
The bridge is situated about fifty
fet above the street car tracks, and
passengers hold their breath while
passing under for fear that bridge,
house and al may come tumbling
down.
The house was moved from Rock
Island, and after a tractor had
managed TO pull it up the hill to
the bridge, it became stalled when
il reached the center of the span.
The house is wedged in tightly and
looks as if it intends to remain.
The movers wedged the house in
yesterday and it is believed that
axes and saws will be necessary be-
fore the building is released. The
bridge is located about two blocks
west of the Watch Tower.
Considerable inconvenience is be
ing caused as vehicles approach the
bridge and find that it is blockaded
