THE WAYS OF WASHINGTON
BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM

As the sun rose over the waters
rim the humping OF the engines
stopped. A flag was hauled half way
up the mast, rippled a few moments
In the vagrant breeze and finally
hung down de1ectedly with unfutter-
Ing folds. The Modoc drifted.
1t was Sunday morning. clear, crisp
i and cold out on the broad Atlantic.
Tue low-lying mists that spread their
haffling softness over the region of
j7he Grand Banks, dragged listlessly
atop the water. As the sun climbed
| h'sher Into the sky the mists melted,
leaving only the vault of blue, the
restless waters and the silent cutter,
In the great quiet OF the ocean It
seemed as If the .Modoc had come to
the very center Of the world. And
| as PROOF. the sky fitted down evenly
all around the horizon.
IN way, 1t WAS the center of the
world tho Modoc had reached that
Sunday morning. The waters which
| carried her with their will were con-
secfated waters. The skies that
looked down with benisnant calm had
looked down. once before, upon q
tAr dlnerent scene on that self-same
! spot. The mists that rolled away
had parted not many years before
TO uncover the seas greatest tragedy
| OF modern times.
1t was the anniversary of that
| tragedy. The coast guard cutter Mo-
doc had sought out the spot. Eleven
| years before. almost at that hour, the
| Titanic. wcstbound on her maiden
! voyage. had met her fate in those
quiet waters.
What happened aboard the Modoc
that Sunday morning, in memorial
service to the brave men who went
down with mans greatest ship, has

In A FEW WORDS

Enthusiasm and animation are the
backbone of every successful busf-
ness. Give me fifty red-blooded
young men and I will accomplish
more in seeing that the republicans
and democrats uphold the Constitu-
tion than a thousand wishy -washy
politicians who are always talking
about what they are going to do.
