HUGHES SHIP LIQUOR PLAN
MAY GAIN SUPPORTERS

WASHINGTON, July 6-The pos
sibility that powers other than
Great Britain might look favorably
on Secretary Hughes plan for a
treaty covering ship liquor stores
and rum smuggling suggested itself
today when it became known that
there had been informal converse
tons with representatives of at least
one of the other powers which re-
eeived the state departments pro-
posal.
inquiry at the state department
brought no information on the point,
nor was there anything to indicate
what nation had intimated a favor
able attitude toward the Hughes
plan. 1t appeared certain, however,
that there had been at least an in
definite suggestion that the plan
might be found acceptable by the
power concerned.

ISLE PERIL

W ICTORIA, B. Wireless
" telephony as a means of re-
ducing the heavy toll OF hui
mainly and ships claimed annu-
ally by the Graveyard of the
Pacific" the awe-inspiring name
given to the west coast OF Van
couver Island, is to be adopted by
the Canadian government.
In the first three months of
this year six fine ships left their
bones in the graveyard, and,
while fortune favored the officers
and crews of five of the craft, all
hands on the sixth ship were
lost.
The west coast of Vancouver
Island, from Carmanah to Cape
Beale, forty miles of the most
barren and forbidding shore line
that man would care to cast his
eyes upon, has been claiming
ships for the last seventy years.
With the advent of the steamer
the disasters became less frequent
following that of the American
steamship Valencia, which was
lost, with more than $50 souls.
This year, however, the dense
fogs and unusual currents have
played havoc with shipping.
In order to avoid a repetition
of the first three months disas-
tiers of this year the Dominion
government will increase it's aids
to navigators. A life-saving tug
will replace the motor lifeboat at
Banfield and the three light
houses at Carmanah, Cape Beal
and Pochena, as we'll as the tug,
will be equipped with wireless
telephones. Three of the ships
lost this year were seen in dis
tress by the light-keepers, who.
however, were unable to summon
aid through lack of means Of
communication.
With the new preca utions 1t is
expected that the mariners will be
able to approach the Strait of
Juan de Fuca with less fear than
heretofore. A directional wire
less station at Pachena will also
help them to ascertain their posi-
ton in dense weather.
Vancouver Island Is the Sable
Island of the Pacific and is
dreaded more than any other spot
on the wide ocean.

impressed with the idea, and on
the following Friday evening,
when some half dozen young
men were in the parlor paying
her attentions, she volunteered
to recite. She has not the least
dramatic talent, but she stood
up and went through a long
poem, with many gestures and
rolling of eyes, and pressing Of
her hands to her heart. She
did it very badly, and without
the least regard for the rules
of elocution or expression.
Later on, her friend Marian
asked how her effort was re-
ceived.
"Oh," she said, "they all
crowded around me, and ap-
peared to be filled with the
utmost delight, Tom, and
Henry, and Jim, and Charlie
were in raptures. They said
that Mary Anderson could not
have equalled it. They said
they had never heard anything
spoken with such dramatic eff
feet and feeling"
Everyone praised you?"
asked Marian.
Cali but one; Mr.. Judson sat
back in his chair and never
applauded at all. He told me
after l had finished that he was
afraid l had very little dramatic
talent at ALL"
"Now," said Marian. "You
know who is sincere and
genuine"
Eyes" said the beautiful
girl, with eyes shining with en-
thusiasm. "The test was a
complete success. l detest that
odious Judson, and Pm going to
begin studying for the stage

TTOUSTON is the dwelling
place of a certain young

blessed with the gifts of the
goddess of fortune. She is very
fair to look upon, bright, witty,
and possesses that gracious
charm so difficult to describe,
but SO potent to please, that is
commonly called personal mag

a lonely world, and endowed
with so many graces Of mind
and matter, she is no idle but
terfly of fashion, and the adula-
ton she received from a nu-
merous circle of admirers has
not turned her head.
She has a close friend, a
young lady of plain exterior,
but a sensible and practical
mind, whom she habitually con-
suits as a wise counselor and
advisor concerning the intricate
problems of life.
One day she said to Marian,
the Wise friend: "How / wish
there was some way to find out
who among these flattering
suitors of mine is sincere and
genuine in the compliments that
are paid me. Men are such
deceivers, and they all give me
such unstinted praise, and make
such pretty speeches to me,
that l do not know who among
them, if any, are true and sim
cere in their regard"

Marian. "The next evening

a dramatic poem, and then tell
me how each one expresses his
opinion of your effort"
