DAY OF SAILS HAY RETURN
Many Causes Operating to Decrease
the Present Supremacy of the
Steam Driven Vessel.

A great deal of the beauty and ro-
nance of the sea passed with the de-
cline of the sailing ship.
The sailing ship gave way to the
steamer because the latter was more
reliable as to runs and was not hung
up by Gains or slowed down so much
by head winds and gales, and finally
could be operated in larger units. So
it has been assumed that the sailing
ship has been displaced forever. 1t
survives, though chiefly under fore
and-aft rig. but most ocean freight is
carried by the steamdriven vessel.
But now there is talk of the revival
of the sailing ship as a carrier. The
SueZ and the Panama canals have
shortened the world routes materially,
coal is becoming more expensive fuel
and oil is not cheap. SO there are in
teresting proposals for Il return to
sails. The rig would be f0re-and;aft
instead of the old square sails, and
there woulG be machinery for handling
and an auxiliary in case Of calm.
A naval architect of standing has
come forward with Il design of this
kind, making use of the Diesel engine,
steel wire running gear and electricity
for lighting and heating. American
ships have been operating with as
many as seven maSts and the use of
power would permit the operation Of
large units with a comparatively small
cost

Promotion Of "Pure English"


In England, as in the United States,
the subject Of preserving the purity Of
the English language from the effects
Of slang, loss Of grammatical distinc-
lions, etc, has recently attracted much
attention. One of the results of the
movement in England Is the formation
of the Society for Pure English. The
society was founded in 1913, but was
compelled by the war to postpone its
activities. The reason for the exist
ence of the society is given as 'the
duty of Itnglishspeaking peoples to
make their language ADEQUATE and
efficient, and worthy Of it's increasing
and worldwide use. Its purpose is
to- further the best interest of the
language by the promulgation of sound
knowledge" 1t is asserted that. the
Society for Pure English does not in
tend to dogmatize but to open an in
formal democratic court in which all
questions may be argued on full in
formation.--Columbus Dispatch.

shun. White Golf Shoes.

"Can't keep your eye on the ball?'
asked the golf instructor Of his pupil.
81 can easily. understand why you
fail to do so. You have on white
shoes. Under ordinary circumstances
there is no reason why normal per-
son should ever fail to keep his or her
eye on the ball while on the links: A
bright color on the grass near the
player or quick movement by by
stander are the only two reasons why
Il player should ever lose his eye
"White shoes are very distracting.
They are generally brighter than the
ball itself and are often the cause of
an expert failing to keep his eye on
the ball. Some men play splendidly
for a long stretch at time and then
one day they suddenly get off their
game. In many instances this is due
to the fact that they have put on a
pair of white shoes" +.

X-Rays in Factory.

The next development of the uses
of photography will be the application
of N-rays to industrial purposes. En-
periments which have been in progress
privately for some time past point to
wonderful possibilities in the near fu-
tire when every great factory and
foundry will have it's own radiogrn-
pher and laboratory. There is no reason
why the .N-rays, hitherto only used for
medical and surgical work, should not
be utilized in detecting flaws in. say,
an ingot of metal or block Of concrete.
Progress in this direction only awaits
the projecting of sufficiently powerful
apparatus. The Importance of this to
the metallurgiSt and manufacturers
must be obvious. and research work
Is only hindered by the absence of the
necessary funds to prosecute what are
necessarily very costly experiments.

Japanese Shrines.

More than 10000 Japanese residents
Of Tokyo called at the shrine of Ebi-
Su. god of wealth. on the outskirts Of
Osaka, before noon on the Japanese
New Years day. They Knocked on
the walls of the shrine with wooden
mallets and called upon the god to
bring them riches during the coming
year. All the gods of Japan probably

any other day Of the year, that being

"a KISS IN TIME" AT
THE GRAND THEATER TODAY

Laughs and thrills were well COM
bined in "a Kiss in Time" which
opens a two-day run at the Grand
theater tonight. Wanda Hawley is
the star of the piece, and it is one
of her most successful comedies.
"a Kiss in Time might be called
a preachy comedy, for besides fea-
turing this prettiest of hlonds, who
is, you just know, even without the
aid of color photography, the peach
es-and-cream type, the best scenes
are laid in a peach orchard in full
bloom.
If anything, any prettier has even
been shown on the screen we'd like to
know. Director Thomas Hebron de-
serves a distinguished service medal
or Chautauqua salute or something
equally nice just for his orchard
scenes alone, though they are by no
means the only admirable ones in
the picture.

they read, it would appear that their

questions. According to a recent clas-

history and law, are a close second

Previously those taught the same
dances by different teachers found
themselves hopclessly at sea wheE

"Through Standardization on which
the majority of dancing instructors In
London have now agreed, a common

OF EVERY RACE AND TONGUE
All Peoples 81 the Earth Represented
In the Miliions Seeking Homes
In This Country.

Armies equal In size to the one we
sent to France land every two years
on our shores, and at the present time
millions are said to be waiting to en-
ter. Since 1900 more than thirteen
million immigrants have entered this
country, and approximately One-thlrd
of our present population Of more
than one hundred millions are immi.
grants or the children Of immigrants.
TwO-thirds Of the population of New
York state and three-fourths Of that
of our great cities nre foreign born
or the children of foreign.born par
ents. From fourth to a half OF the
population Of the large cities Of the
South are negroes. Already we are
the most heterogeneous people on
earth; here are found representatives
of every race and tongue and culture
in the world, and still they continue
to come In enormous numbers. It is
doubtful whether any other migration
in the history Of mankind compares
in magnitude with that which has been
converging on America during the past
twenty years. The sources and mag
nitude of this migration are indicated
by the following general summary !:
OF more than thirty million persons In
this country who are foreign born or
the children Of foreign-bOrn parents
there are from eight to nine million
Germans, four to five million Irish,
about three millions from Great Brit
ain, about three million Slavs, from
two to three million Scandinavians,
more than two million Italians, and
about two million Hebrews, while all
other races and nations constitute
about five millions.--Edwin Grant
