Changing Registry.

We shall leave the schooners for a
moment while / explain how easy 1t is
to change from American to French
registry.
Suppose we assume that you and
purchase a schooner in the States.
Let it be any sort Of a ship. She is
flying the Stars and Stripes We pro-
ceed here to ST. Pierre. We go to any
reputable liquor dealer In the colony
and tell him that it Is our wish that
our cargo carrier fly the French in
stead of the American flag. We make
this change of flags for safety's sake,
of course.
With the liquor merchant We go
before the local French authorities.
Have we the authorization of the
American Government (provided the
vessel was purchased by us from the
United States Shipping Board) to sell
the boat if we desire? We have, of
course. The French official inspects it.
Does he understand that we are
selling this vessel to jacques lie
F'raude for certain sum?
'Yes," we reply.
Have you the bill of sale proving
your ownership"
ut is here, your Honor"
BE so good. then, as to produce
your latest clearance papers"
Behold them," we reply producing
such documents.
Very good. Return this afternoon
and receive from me the certificates
proving that the said Nancy Lee is
now under French registry and priv
ileged to call upon the protection of
the French Government in all emer-
gencies. 1t will cost you, my dear
sir, three and half francs a ten-a
mere nothing"
THANK you, Monsieur lie Commits
sionaire."
'But just a moment" Gas you are
departing), you must understand that
this transfer of registry means that
this ship must be commanded by a
French captain and equipped with a
French mate, and a French engineer.
Moreover. precisely one-half of the
crew must be Frenchmen."
And the other half?" you inquire
politely.
"As you will. Monsieur-French,
American, British, Portuguese, Spanish
mixed or black or white. To the
French law it is of no consequence"
You leave satisfied. You have to be
satisfied. But you are moved to ask

But let us hurry on. There is much
TO tell. For physical facts about St
Pierre that would be tedious here ap-
ply to your geographical society.
Time was when st. Pierre was
festive place. Two hundred French Of
ficials sent out from Paris to govern
the islands, fifty young Englishmen
Canadians and Frenchmen working in
the banks and cable offices, and con-
sular staffs from the United States.
Great Britain and elsewhere were sta
toned at st. Pierre. You can still hear
tales of the departed glories Of the
place.
But that Is gone-all gone. In those
good days 1t was not at all unusual

harbor. The town was in the habit OF
exporting 10000 tons Of cod year
and receiving therefor 50, 900, 900. There
was a permanent population of more
than 5000 persons. There was news

end OF social gladness.

why st. Pierre wiIted.

And then the Newfoundland law that
forbade the sale OF bait (squib prin-
cipally) TO the st. Pierre fishermen.
That killed st. Pierre. st. Pierre was
entirely surrounded by cod. but almost
barren of bait? The reasons? They are
several. First, trade jealousy. BY vir-
tue of the peculiar French system of
fishing bounties. st. Pierre could un-
dersell Newfoundland in Europe. Sec
ond. Newfoundland found that its fish
ermen were less eager TO fish than
they were 10 sell bait TO men OF st.
Pierre. Forbldding the sale might ruin
ST Pierre, but it would compel New
foundland trawlers TO get busy. But
that Is sufficient explanation.

Why France Relented.

No sooner had the Eighteenth
Amendment become a segment in the
American Constitution than all 81.
Pierre besouglt the French Govern
ment to remove the restrictions upon
the importation into the islands Of the
hard liquor Of countries other than
France. But France was slow 10 act
She was loath TO offend rich America
The Bahamas came 10 life, and In
eighteen months discharged their
public debt Of f20O. 900. besides appro-
priating $1,000. 900 for public improve
ments. Why not St. Pierre? Here
was ST. Pierre's opportunity 20 jump
from one side OF the French ledger TO
the other; 10 quit the role OF insolvcnt
dependency and once more rise 20 the
heights OF a self-sustainlng colony.
But France went slowly. Little by
little France began to understand
that her statesmen were making no
progress toward softening the Amcri-
can determination TO collect debts.
And as France began 20 realize this
she began seeing st. Pierre's point OF
view.
First OF all France told ST. Pierre
that II would be all right TO permit the
transfer in the st. Pierre harbor Of
alien hard liquor from one vessel "a
another. That started "a. A British
ship from Glasgow laden with whisky
would transfer her cargo 20 a ship
flying the French flag (she had been
an American bottom but a few hours
since). and of would go the cargo "a
slaie the thirst OF the Atlantic coast.
st. Pierre had become liquor transfer
point.
But st. Pierre indicated the in
justice of II. She showed her French
mother that this helped only those
merchants who had sufficient money
to plunge into the shipping business.
She showed, too. that this partial lift -
ing Of the embargo had fetched 20 ~
Pierre rich American and Canadian
shippers such as the David A. Clark
son Importing Company. who merely
paid st. Pierre what they chose for
the labor that she had TO offer.
And then. just before the first of

barge. She told st. Pierre 10 20 20

munities.
Holland for Fine Rivalry
President Holland OF w. S. c. was
the principal speaker, and advocated
fine spirit of rivalry, which should te
beneficial to both communities and
to the two great educational instjtu-
tions which are such an important
part Of both communities. He stated
that it was fine thing for represen-
tatives Of the two cities to get to-
gether in horseshoe pitching contests,
or in clean sports of any kind, SO that
they might know each other better,
and thus develop more fulla feeling
of friendship. nj all contests, whether
it be on the football field, in the COM
field, or on the horseshoe
courts, he said each should go in to
win, but should do it with that fine
rivalry which characterizes a good
sport. Anything else, he said, was
small village stuff. At one time, he
said, rivalry Of mean sort had ex-
listed between the two schools and
to some extent, but this,
he was pleased to say, had given
place to an entirely different feeling.
President Holland stated that in his
opinion the best way for the Univers-
[ty Of Idaho to develop and hold the
support and friendship of south Idaho
Is to keep ever before the people the
good wholesome spirit and good moral
which exists In Moscow,

DAILY THOUGHTS
Should We Play

Should We Play
Cali work and no play makes Jack
dull boy" This truth is just as valid
today as when the statement was first
written and broadcasted over the coun-
try. Numerous are the puns that have
been made on it by everybody but
the fundamental idea PERSISTS.
What is this thing we call play that
is painted such a large item in the
daily living of we American citizens?
the individual doing something that
differs from his daily routine of work.
When one plays he let's go all the
sordid cares of the world and gives
free expression to his uncontrolled
SELF In his business life he assumes
studied attitude; but in play he is
entirely his natural self.
1t is the expression of this natural
self that makes play so essential in
the lives of us mortals. The assumed
attitude we take during our working
hours is mental strain. Play re-
leases all pent up energies that clamor
for expression.
Many man has become a nervous
wreck because he never relaxed In
play. The strains OF his business life
wore on his nervous system and the
lack Of playful recreation gave him
no opportunity to rest those facul-
ties ever on the alert as he transacted
hsi daily business.
'sAll work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" may have been originally
a defense for the boy. But it is equal
ly applicable to us grown-ups. A
writer has recently said: "all work
makes the jack" but what solace is
there in possessing this much desir-
ed jack without being able to enjoy
It. The sick person gets no pleasure
out Of his money though he possesses
millions. He may buy all that he
Graves but unless he can eat, wear
and otherwise use those materials he
can afford to buy they are valueless.
Therein lies the value of play; 1t
adds values to the material things
with which we surround ourselves.
Play is essentially unadulterated en-
ioyment Of ourselves and our immed- I
ate surroundings, to put it psycholog-
cally. The saving virtue Of play is
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1922-07-26

panacea for many of our nervous Ills
and infirimties. 1t is essential to men
tai and physical health, prolongs life
and makes us all happier and more
contented individuals. The trouble is
we do not play enough and like Jack
have become dull grown up boys.

It is the purpose of the assoc1a-

politics in the selection of a game
warden by putting the appointment
in the hands of the game conmis-

their tenure Of office indefinite in
