!. A tale of the sea that seemed al
most incredible was brought to port
by passengers on the Shipping Board
steamship, American Legion, when
that vessel arrived In New York from
the tropics. As the liner was crossing
the equator during the night, the pas
sengers felt the ship suddenly recoil
as though struck. The speed was de-
acidedly dimished but the ship seemed
TO ride easily. At daylight, officers
started an investigation and found the
nautilated carcass Of a thirty-five foot
shark clinging to the sharp PROV.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23-Every woman
whether she be the Ay-weight sylph
or double-chinned enchantress, is
more worried over increasing "a
voirdupois than any other problem
that besets her days. Women travel
ers on the vessels of the United States
Lines feet have made amazing, and
at the same time practical discovery.
They have found what they claim
to be a sure method for the taking
off of superfluous flesh And it might
be stated, men jealous of their figures
are making use of the new discovery.
In the gyymnasiums of the steam
ships George Washington and Amer
lea there has recently been installed
two exercising machines which fur
nish solace and cleaning hope to
stout folk. The apparatus has become
known as the "shimmy machine,
because of the gyrations through which
the user of the contrivance is put
when in the grip of the flesh reducer
The principle of the mechanism is
that OF vibration. A canvas girdle en-
circling the midrift section of the seek
er after slirnness is attached to an
oscillating device and when the cleo
trio power is applied the patient is
shaken in a manner that is fearsomely
fat defying. The shaking of a mouse
by cat is mild by comparison The
shimmy machine is capable of shaking
a mountain of fat with the ease of a
strenuous housewife shaking plate of
jelly.
A short time ago stout man took
passage on the steamship Am1ica
and seeking out the gymnasium at
tendant informed him that he was
under orders from his physician to
reduce himself sixty pounds. The
stout man said that the doctor had
told him that unless he made good in
reducing that he might notify the
undertaken. The gymnasium attend
ant said the "shimmy machine" would
do the trick and Immediately started
work on the fat man. The fat man
made round trip to Bremen, Ger
many on the America and every day
for several hours he was held in the
embrace of the Skinny machine"
Late each afternoon, following his
session with the "shimmy machine"
the fat man would step on the scales
in the presence of a crowd of pas
sengers and each day saw a decrease
in weight The fat man literally
shimmied his way across the Atlantic
and after FIVE days in Germany he
returned to the ship to continue his
training and when the port of New
York was finally reached he had lost
the sixty pounds necessary to the saw
ing of his life. Thereafter the "shim-
my machine" became the vogue not
only on the steamship America but
On the big liner George Washington.
1t is the women travellers who are
making the most OF the new innova-
tion and during the trip across and
back the fair sex seem to dominate
the gymnasium of the two big liners,
The gymnasium attendants have a
regular course for their patients and
those who fellow instructions claim
to get results. After the "shimmy
machine" session and shower the
seekers after reduction go for long
walks around the decks and then visit
the scales to visualize the results Of
their efforts.

even plead to "Slow down." We do not want to
slacken, much less to stop. On the contrary we
want to speed up. That is progress, But we must
speed up safety.
The National Safety Council reports that the COM
piled figures of preventable accidents in 1920 show
death toll OF many people as live in the State
OF Nevada. In other words, in one year we wiped
out by accident whole State. That means that
It is time to STOP something. 1t is not speed we
should stop. We must stop recklessness
The man-eating thrashing machine has gone out
OF fashion But the fool at the auto wheel is busy
Fatalities from reckless driving average thirty
deaths day We have speed laws, but they are
dehanty disobeyed and the violators when arrested
are too often dismissed with modified reprimand or
petty fine.
To endanger the life OF another is not light or
laughing matter.
We must adjust ourselves to the auto as the horse
dd to the tram. We make the train run on schedule
limit its speed curves. slow down at the sign of
caution and come to a full stop the STOP signal
so must we make every auto driver do
There IS but one way to do it, that is for every
community to impose drastic penalty for every of
lender and for every community to promptly get rid
OF any officer that fails arrest the offenders and
every Judge and magistrate that will not impose the
full penalty of the crime.
IT it is crime to take lie it is crime to endanger
lie; speed up safety 1t is the duty of every town
ana county government get Indignantly busy on
this all important job We cannot spare our people
N whole stae-tuli lots.

~ have been speeding up, and while that speed
has come with inestimable benefit, it has not come
without its measure of attendant harm When the
legislature of New York was first asked to grant a
franchise for eighteen miles of steam railroad, the
right to build this first railroad was not granted
without bitter opposition which contended that il

many horses that unwarranted toll of death would
result.
The railroad and those who opposed it were
right in their death toll predictions. The engines

ARCTIC WEATHER
STATION is PLANNED
NaiSuia!ed Gold Waves Can Be EST
mated Much Earlier Than Nou,

WASHINGTON. D. c. An ;,+e-
nationally owned and operated wire
less station and weather observation
station on the shores of Baffin bav TO
supply data for the worlds weather
services, has been proposed and steps
are beng taken to insure its instal1a-
ton. '''''''a-
Battin bay is pretty far north as
glance at the map of the top of our con
tinentt will show; cold winds blow
cheerlessly much of the time ice and
snow hold sway over land and sea
ior good portion of the year and the
HE OF those stationed there cut off
from the world except by radio would
not be of the easiest, but the value of
their services to the world would he
inestimablc, it is said.
Officials of the United States wealth
er bureau are enthusiastic over the
proposal and will urge the participa
ton OF the government in the coopera-
tive scheme. They point out the val
liable work of the international wealth
er observation station on the lonely
little island of Jan Maven, off the
southeast coast of Greenland where
reports are sent to all the European
government meteorological services as
well as to the Canadian and United
States weather bureaus
The great value to this country of
such a station is shown by observers
in the fact that they are often handi-
capped by the sudden arrival of un-
foreseen weather changes originating
IN northern Canada, where there are
few stations. Thousands of miles of
the continent up to the Arctic seas,
hold no observation posts nor means
OF messaging observations if any made
The northernmost weather station in
Canada is almost 40 degrees from the
northern edge of the continent which
puts it far south, close to the interna
tional boundary line.
Could Forecast Cold Waves
Consequently, officials said, much
weather which originates in that vast
stretch of land is uunobserved until it
S right down upon us. For this rea-
son it was added, cold waves often
bear down from the north in winter
and our weather bureau can give only
scant warning.
A recent example Of this sudden and
unforeseen change occurred in a series
OF showers that ended the long coun-
try-wide drouth that pripped the coun-
try. during August, September and
early October. Continued dryness was
predicted for some days because con-
litions were sluggish and no changes
were observed within the scope of the
reporting stations, Between two DAYS,
however. sudden showers swept down
from the uncharted regions. freshened
up the entire Atlantic seaboard and
the southern states. uuenched destruc-
tive forest fires in Canada and brought
an end to the drouth.
If there were more stations farther
north it was said. the change could
have been foreseen far ahead of its
actual arrival, instead of about two
days or less, and farmers and others
to whom weather conditions arc i'm
nortant could tave had longer warn
ing to prepare

PROHIBITION IS
AN OLD, OLD STORY
1t Has Been in Absolute Effect Fol
Fifty Years in Bechuanaland.

LONDON-For 50 years, Bechuana-
land, north of Cape Colony, in south
Africa, has enjoyed peace and pros
pcrlty under Chief khama, with Great
Britain lending a helping hand when
needed. Khama, said to be the oldest
native ruler i'll Africa, is now cele-
brating his jubilee. As he looks
back over the years he sees much to
make him happy, but nevertheless he
IS disturbed as to the future of the
protectorate. His son and heir belongs
to the new order, look upon Khama
as an old fogy. does not believe as
he does, and shows no inclination of
following in his footsteps. For Is
years the son has been away from
home, and has not seen his old father.
He turned up only just in time to at
tend the jubilee celebrations.
According to the story of him told
by the Bulawayo correspondent of the
Morning Post, Khama is remarkable
man.
Only in Bechuanaland.' the CORE
spondent writes, do we find an ex-
ception to the normal rule that the
coming of Christianity and civiliza-
ton means the passing of the author
ity of the chief"
khama is a genuine Christian. He
practices his religion. He succeeded III
maintaining his influence over his PEG.
pie during the difficult transition pc.
Rod when the old order was giving
place to the new. Khama was nc
namby- PANTY ruler. He did not trust
to the force of his own example alone
He made law that none of his PEG.
pie should touch fire-water and he en-.
forced it.
One of the secrets of Khamas sue
cess, is his imposing of absolute pro
hibition of intoxicants in the land. Be.
chuanaland was dry before the anti-sa
loon league of America began to thinl
of prohibition.
At the time of the Jameson raid, If
1895, Khama needed help. He crossed
the ocean and saw the great white
queen" Queen Victoria told him the
raid would be stopped, and that a.
long as she. lived his rights would nj
be infringed by any of her people
That promise was kept.

and great demonstrations of loyalty
Many speeches were made. The resi-
dent magistrate, missionaries and white
settlers showered congratulations OF
the venerable old man. The ccremo-
nies lasted long time When they
were done at last, Khama rose to his
feet and amid profound silence made
an impressive speech. At his close, to
the surprise of everybody, he made a
pathetic appeal to his son, Sekgoma
II have a word for my son, l dc
not know him. He has grown up away
from me, and his people, so that
he cannot know my wishes and their
ways. If he is willing to walk in the
road that has been shown to me all
will be well. He has not yet given
his heart to God If he will give his
heart to God l shall have no doubts
