DAY OF SAILS LAY 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 10 runs and was not hung
up by calmS or slowed down so much
by head winds and gales, and finally
could be operated in larger units So
1t has been assumed that the sailing
snip has been displaced forever. II
survives, though chiefly under fore.
and-aft rig, but most ocean freight is
carried by the Steam-driven vessel.
But now there is talk of the revival
or the sailing ship as a carrier. The
Suez and the Panama canals have
shortened the world routes materially.
coal IS becoming a more expensive fuel
and oil is not cheap. SO there are in
leresting proposals for a return TO
sails The rig would be fore,and.aft
instead of the old square sails and
lhere would be machinery for handling
and an auxiliary in case of calm.
A naval architect of standing has
come forward with a design of this
Kind, making use of the Diesel engine
steel wire running gear and electricity
Tor 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.

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 dlstinc-
tions, 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 English-speaking peoples to
make their language adequate and
efficient and worthy Of its increasing
and worldwide use Its purpose is
to further the best interest Of the
language by the PRONUNCIATION 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.
