Rules for
Ocean Travel

~
90 many people are going
-. abroad now, and many Of
them for the first time, that
It may be well to dust off the
rules of conduct for ocean voy-
ayers and hold them up once
again for all to see. These ere
not all the rules. There are
about 1000 In all, but these are
hard and fast rules which must
be obeyed by those who would
remain out Of the boob class.
1. When interviewed by re-
porters before bost sails shed an
air Of mystery around the object
Of your trip. II you have an
important srrand, say you are
going merely for = vacation. If
on Q pleasure trip, say you are
going on an important business
matter. If you are going to
Italy, say you are going to
Sweden. II you arc going to
Bulgaria, say you are going to
Dsapville. The public doesn't
care a hang where you are going.
2. Immediately the steamship
leaves the wharf line up ct the
purser's ofice to demand .
change in stateroom. The one
you have isn't tho one you bar
gained for. It was on the star
board side when you bought It,
but the boat his since turned
around.
3, After failing to have your
ststsroom changed, line up for
the bar. lIt win be the longest
three miles you have ever trav-
elled and the line will be 20 long
that you win probably get your
frst drink by the time the bost
reaches the forty-nine-mils limit
After you pay for your first ons
you viii 60 on tho wagon.
Z. Quarrel with tho deck stew
ard over the chair that has been
assigned you on deck. 1t Is right
next to somebody you don't like.
Get . new chair right next to
somebody you like still less
s. Write . batch Of letters on
the way over to mail as soon as
you land In Europe. A couple
Of weeks after you get back
home again these letters viii be-
gin arriving.
6. Do not bs particular about
the stataroom you get on your
way homo. There will be SO
many people trying to get back
home that you will be thankful
for anything.
Z. Tip the help less generously
on the way back than you did on
the way over. You will do this
anyhow without reading these
rules.
8. On the way back spend
your time writing your interview
, present conditions in Europe
hid have it ready to; hand to the
reporters at Quarantine.
9. It is absolutely necessary
for all ladies on board to line up
and sit along the rail with their
knees crossed, so as to show i'm
ported silk stockings. This pose
must be held until all newspaper
photographers have finished their
work. The ratio Of those pub
lished will be 8 out Of I66.
10. The only legal thing to say
when stepping down the gang
, plank Is 81 am glad to be back In

Plain Talk from Changers

The members of Winthrop Grange
wish to go on record as being entire
ly out OF sympathy with any body of
men. whether employers or en-
ployees. who are not at this time of
read justment, willing to make sacri-
fees to restore conditions to their
normal state. We feel that the far
mer has done his part and that the
public should now demand that the
worker and big business do theirs.
We feel that it is a crime to make
the public suffer because of the sell
fishness of few. We believe that
the worker should receive and he
content with a reasonable livin;
wage and that the mine owners am
transportation companies should re-
ceive and be content with a fair rate
of interest on capital actually in
vested and that the interests of the
general public should be conside red
as paramount to that Of any class.
