honor Of the late executive this week
The principal address was made by
the Rev. Phiipa K. Edwards who de-
livered n splendid euiogy on the life
and work of the president and told
something of his relation to Rotary.
Harding is a typical example of a
man who reached a high place
through the practice Of the Rotary
motto Service Before Self" Without
attempting t. outshino his fellow men
with exertme briliiance. he labored' al
ways for the benefit OF Others and
even when he reached great distinc-
ton always maintained tho simplicity
of nature that is striven for by mem
bers of the Rotary club.

thirty years. said, however, a the
British sailors are little affected by
this ruling. las a matter of fact
the British sailor never did much
drinking aboard ship" this man said.
He had too little pay to warrant him
paying 16 cents for a bottle OF warm
ale or beer during the trip. He did
most of his drinking at eithe end Of
the run. and he can still do that.
Their there is the unwritten law
among the officers never to drink
until they make port. SO that I should
say the liquor matter n been respon-
sible for only a few desertions. The
wag es paid in New York for 'aborers

The steamship, West Cahous, lying
at anchor in Baltimore harbor, about
nine miles from the city, needed med
ical help at about a. m. recently and
needed it quickly, says the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service. A member of the
crew had fallen into the hold and hurt
himself seriously. So the captain Of
the ship sent a wireless broadcast
asking help.
The call was picked up, not by Bal
timore, nine miles away, but at Cape
May, ~ j., about 100 miles due east
of Baltimore. AS Cape May was sep
arated from the West, Cahous by
parts of New Jersey and Delaware
and by the eastern shore of Maryland,
not to mention Delaware and Chesa-
peake bays, no direct help from it
was possible.
But the operator was on the job.
Promptly he consulted the long dis
lance list in the Baltimore telephone
directory and called up the residence
of the Public Health Service, surgeon
in charge of the Marine Hospital in
miles to the west. The
Surgeon, reused from sleep to re-
ceive the message, asked him to radio
certain emergency treatment to the
West Cahous and to direct the cap
tain to send boat to certain pier
in Baltimore, where he would find
surgeon waiting to go out to the ship
with him. And so, in the middle OF
the night, in less than an hour,

Idaho Falls counted one in the fifth
when Kennedy singled and stole sec

other two scores came in the eighth,
Russell was safe when McCurdy err
rored on his grounder, and Mcintosh
