When Easter Comes
Bv MARGARET SANGSTER

When Easter comes do think OF Christ Who hung,
With bleeding hands ard feet upon rouSh-ne"n cross
do not see Man, Who suffered pain and loss
And trumphed over death No. when the world Is young
think of Christ the little Lad, whose Mother sung
Above His trndlc bed Who traced the Laughing source
Of ,nsnv mountain stream to where half-hd by MOSS
Upon the shores of Cialilce, pale violes sprung.
When Easter comes like to think OF youth atlame
With all the vivid promises of early spring
like to think Of budding trees, and winds that sing
Anmos of a-whcn some speaks the Saviours name,
like to close my eyes and, in the shadows see
A little smiling Boy against His mothers knee!

STREAMS

THE bridge is shrouded in i'm
i penetrable gloom. So is the
Officer-o f-the-deck. Inky black is the
splotch Of a battleship ahead. Two
shades blacker is the blotch of another
in swift pursuit astern.
The fleet is steaming 'darkened' in
column
A bell rings. The o. o. D. never
takes his tense eyes from the rail.
Hello shouts quartermaster down
the engineroOm vOice-tube. condenser
temperatures show we've run out of
the stream" comes the muffled report.
"U-m-m," grunts the O. 0. D. as
though bored But he isn't. He knows
the Gulf Stream has been left behind.
The knowledge is as definite as
times Square," shouted by a subway
guard.
Streams. of ocean currents are the
great rivers of the sea. Movement Of
the water is caused mostly by winds
prevailing in one direction for long
periods of time.
The Gulf Stream is so to $50 miles
in width and flows at the leisurely
pace of to miles an hour. 1t swings
upward along the Florida coast, is de-
flected by Hatteras, and shoots cool
three thousand miles to Iceland and
the British Isles. A southern branch
strikes the Belly of Europe as the
Bay of Biscay is awkwardly called.
All these countries it warns.
But the American coast shivers in
the chill Of an arctic current. This
frigid stream squirts from the mouth
of Baffin bay and drenches with it's
berg cooled spray the rocks of Labra-
dor and Maine and the yellow Jersey
sands.
If, as has been proposed, a NAM
moth breakwater were built eastward
from New Foundland shooting the
northern current out, America would
become tropical in climate while our
English brethren built snow igloos.
In the Pacific Japan current and
one from Behring sea correspond to
the warm and cold pair In the At
lantic The Alaskan coast, like Eng
Land, is warm.
Below the continental tips q great
stream runs clean around the world.

SLOP CHEST

M ASTLESS battleships before long.
4Vx A few years hence the last rem
nant of oldtime spars will be uprooted
and laid in the navy yards to rot. Rig
ging has already gone. Upperworks
are going. Elimination of the useless
is the cry
There is also metamorphosis. No,
sis is change, such as dough to flap
jacks (not to dimes); mud to bricks;
apes to men. Though the samples will
not bear too keen philosophical scru-
tiny they serve to illustrate the way
old naval customs have become so
rooted in the service that they do not
disappear even after centuries, and
when the old Roman catapult has
given way to hundred-ten breech load
ers. They merely change.
On Tong cruise the sailorman runs
shy of clothing. His work suffers in
proportion to his ill-clad condition.
Shippers have recognized this mari
time maxim by keeping q slop-chest.
Aboard tidy man-of-war amy mess is
known as Stops Slop-chests hold a
miscellaneous supply of seaman s
clothing. Hence the ra1ne.
An account of the first siop-chest
was chronicled in 40 3. e. 1t cen
tanned 1000 garments, assorted in
three sizes. The garments were ex-
,actly alike and cut TO fit the stern
sheets of galley slaves. Ethnologists
sometimes refer to them Ithe gar
mentS) as breech-clGuts. The largest
was nautical cubit in circumference
or nearly a life-size fathom
Columbus gave us the next authentic
account Of slop-chests in 1892. He IN
'cluded leather Doors, woven Shirts,
dirks, breaches, seafonnets and neck
'erchiefs. He makes mo mention of
wrist watches.
John Paul Jones turned the 'sl04D-
Job over to his supercarg0 OF purSeg.
However, he got his little rakeOH ait
the end Of the cruise. For 1T must be,
understood that 1000 miles and 6.
month out fixes pretty good price OLE
necessary apparel.
Gum-boots were the greatest step
after the Civil war. Old sea-dogs put
them down as sign that the navy was
going to HI. "The idea of a tar mind
ing wet feet" Yet they daily turned
to the chest for sewing gear, needles
and thimbles, and the like.
Then the Twentieth Century broke
like typhoon over our world. A holo-
caust of progress swept away the
relics of mans past. Mechanical
genius was supreme Only the char
red stubble Of original ideas remained.
The slop-chest was one.
Now we have the Clothing and
Small Stores Room" In it our mechan-
ical Jack may procure silk necker
chiefs, Sheffield steel knives, and hand
sewn shoes, not boots, but gloves for
his feet. The captain makes no rake
off, and the purchase record is in quad
duplicate. It's still the slOp-chest, how
ever only different.
That is metamorphOsis; which is
sometimes better than liver pills for
cleansing life.

CITY To LET BIG CONTRACT
Bids on New s42o, 600 Filtration Plant |
!. VIII Be Opened.

The contract will be let for the con-
Struction of the city water filtration
plant, to cost approximately $425,-
600, at a meeting of the city commits
sion Wednesday morning. Thirty
eight bidders representing q number
of the larger construction companies
of the country will make bids on the
filtration plant. Wilbur A. Stanfield,
water commissioner said today. The
plant will call for 1900 yards of con-
crete and will require more than q
years time for completion.
Several local contractors are under
stood to be among the bidders to ask

Among the out-of-town bidders, some
of whom are already in Topeka, are
representatives of construction firms
of New York. Chicago. st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Oklahoma City, and also of
a Massachusetts company. According
TO c. A. Hawkins, chief engineer for

tive than usually represented for such
work. Haskins- together with c. A.

cheering firm. will be present when

Want WOOL BAN
Kansas State Farm Bureau APP
peals to Harding.
Wants to Prevent Flooding of
American Market.

Manhattan, Kan, March 29.-Kan-
sas state farm bureau has wired Presi-
dent Harding asking him to place an
embargo on the innportat- on of foreign
wool, hides. meat and grain until con-
gress has an opportunity to act.
The state farm bureau is co-operat-
ing with Kansas State Livestock as
ISOLATION and other farmers organiza-
lions in asking this embargo, since it
has been pointed out that large guam
titles of frozen meat and foreign
grown wool are on ships headed for
America
Among the items which are seeking
entrance into the United States is a
consignment of more than 100000, 0OO
pounds of wool. The wool market of
this country is already congested and
there are millions of pounds of native
grown wool in storage waiting for The
market to open. The consignment.
said to be headed for the United
states, is equal to one-sixth of the total
wool consumed in this country.
The rate of foreign exchange is so
low that there is special inducement to
other countries to throw this wool OH
the American market. 1t is believed
tnat these great quantities are being
shipped in an effort by foreign ma :
tons TO get the wool landed before a
tariff can be enacted by the new adj
miniStration
