HONOR TO BLUECOATS WHO AID CHILDREN

PatrOlmdn CnarIes JpAAsOh !" walking around these days with a crown of satisfaction resting on his manly brow, The Rev. Dr. George W. c. Hill at the South . Congregational church p u b licly lauded the policeman for his care full attention to children who at tempt to cross thoroughfares where he is stationed as traffic cop.
 But Patrolman Johnson is not the only policeman in this city who merits public esteem for not being crab with the tiny tots. lndeeo' it is unusual 10 find a policeman in this city who isn't a friend or the toddlers. When youngster or several of them wish to cross the street where traffic policeman ls stationed one can rest assured that the eagle eyes of the officer are
 
 upon them, and in due course traf- 6c must wait until the last one ot them is safely on the other side A good policeman takes to child with loving care. There IS something in policeman's calling that makes him like the tender in- nocence of immaturity, Perhaps 1t is because they offer such vivid contrast to the kind of folks po- ucemcn by dnt of their occupation are so often called upon to deal with.
 This cheerful interest in chllds welfare near dangerous crossing also includes mothers or daddies
 with children. Let a woman carry ing babe near & crossing where T traffic policeman holds sway and
 he immediately is all attention. He
 knows that nomtn with a babe
 in arms or leading one or two tod

To keep them off important committees al- together is another plan
 Some such scheme probably will he worked out. But there is s'na- tor Borah of Idaho, who could have been vice-president had he wished, still 10 contend with.

Stuck h the Sargasso Sea

By Dr/ Walter E. Traprock
 I notice that my friend, will Beebe, the naturalist, is off for a trip into that great marine briar patch known as the sargasso Sea.
 The papers have a good deal to say about his special equipment. But I hope Will hasn't neglected to include a motor lawn-mover and a harvester.
 The grass nthe Sargasso grows so fast that it will strangle almost any expedition. I got caught in 1t once just as the summer crop was coming on, My ship, the Scurvy. was brought to a dead standstlll. At first we thought it was amusing to watch the luxuriant weeds lift themselves out of the water. but when their tops stood ten feet above the bulwarks we felt diff ferently. They grew into regular trees and the branches were full Of flying fish which swOoped across the deck, uttering their peculiar liouid note. By this time the sub stratum had solidificd so that we f could walk about on it with per feet security. To all intents and purposes the Scurvy was lost in an impenetrable forest.
 From the mast head l could see open water miles to the east, but we had no forestry equipment axes, saws etc. Who would have thought of taking such things tt sea? We finally caught six sword fish, and with their blades hewec our way out but 1t was the tough est work have ever done.
