Much of Old Romance
of Seamanship Gone

London's day of glory as port for
sailing craft has passed. 1t is no
longer possible to induce sailors TO
sign on for voyages under canvas. Aa
officer of a sailing ship recently tried
to find men willing to work his craft.
He failed even TO find men who knew
how to manage canvas. There are, of
course, around the London docks sail
ors trained in the navigation of sail
ing ships but they refuse to tackle the
old job because it means so much
hard work in comparison with the
moderate requirements on steamers.
1t is rare now to hear of demand for
sailing crews but when one Of the old
time vessels must be taken on a voy-
age 1t is possible to get men from
Norway or Denmark. Most of the
English sailors who learned their
trade under canvas are well over forty
years of age and have no desire to
leave comfortable berths aboard
steamers for the hardships of slow,
square riggers.

Privilege and Duty to
Be Member Of Legion

Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., Of
New York, in a recent statement com
menting ON membership in the Amer
lean Legion, said:
Every veteran of the World war
should belong to the American Legion.
1t is badge of honor and privilege
limited to those who served in the
armed forces Of the United States
during the war and received an hon
orable discharge The Legion should
count its membership by millions, not
by hundreds of thousands. 1t is not
only the privilege, but the duty Of
every qualified veteran to apply for
membership and the same applies to
those women eligible to membership
in the auxiliary. There are tens of
thousands of young men who are not
qualified who would give their eye
teeth to belong to the American LIE.

other indoor winter sports is designed
to be one of the largest and best
equipped buildings of its kind in the

LET'S HAVE OUR OWN

Japan may back down on its demand
for monopoly of radio development
in China But if it insists, instead, on
partnership arrangement, the result is
not much better.
There are two reasons for an American
radio station in China. One is to make
money for its promoters. A partnership
may do that rs we'll as competition. But
the other is to have one uncensored ave-
nue. of communication out of the Orient.
The cables go thru Japan. News, infor-
nation, and business, get out of the ORR
ent if and as Japan pleases. In some
emergencies, that might be not at ALL
The same situation would result if the
radio on Chinese soil were owned in part
nership by American, Japanese and Chi
neSe capital.
The only sure way is to have one line
owned by Americans alone. Then, if the
Japanese want another, and the Chinese
as many as they can finance, we must be
prepared to meet that competition or take
the consequences.

"DUMB-BELL ENGLISH"

THE University of California has a
L course popularity known as dumb
bell English Every entering student has
to take an examination TO see whether he
can write five hundred words of simple
English clearly and correctly.
Those who fail-which is most of them
must take special course in elementary
composition, for which they pay fee
and for which they receive no university
credit.
The purpose is TO guarantee that no one
goes on to the higher university work who
has not acquired at least a minimum
capacity to write ordinary straightforward
English
The puzzle is to know why an actual

people, who have satisfied the other
requirements for university entrance, can.

PENOLOGY

DERHAPS you may have visited the old
| British prison ship that some years
ago toured this coast One of the fleet
that helped settle Australia and Tasmania,
. very grim, blood-stained ship with iron
wood in her hull, and iron in her every
inch of atmosphere A floating, grim
memento of the horrible revenge England
few score years ago took upon her unfor-
Inmates.
Too bad, too bad that England, the
mother of modern civilization, was ever
so brutal, so blood-stained.
So?
We take care of dogs; we have a society
for that. We take care of cats we have
a society for that We take care of Jay
birds and crows and wood ducks; we have
societies for all these BUT we treat our
violators of the 100000 laws the law fac
tories have ground out just as humanely.
Just as wisely, just as Christly as did the
old teak ship of Britain 100 years since.
The only person who regards the "hoose-
gov system" with any leniency is the per-
son who is entirely ignorant of how our
prisons are conducted.
