World Rings With Praises
OF Gallant American Grew

since the beginning of steam. 1t test
ed and proved the mettle of the men
engaged, from the captain down to
the seamen at the oars. They are
worthy descendants of the American
Seamen who wrote maritime history"
The San Francisco Bulletin adds that
American Seamanship lived up to its
traditions" and the New London Eve
Ing Day, declaring that "the steamship
Roosevelt has become symbolic of the
heroiSm of the sea- also notes that
"the American sailors who manned
lifeboats four times In an effort to
reach the distressed Antinoe must
have been perfection itself In their
handling of the lifeboats." The Erie
Dispatch Herald believes "the world
will not soon forget the open-boat
rescue" while the Jersey City Jersey
Journal calls attention to the fact that
no rescue could have been effected had
there not been men in the crew of
the President Roosevelt who were
willing to work continuously hour
after hour, risking their lives to save
the men who seemed destined to die"
Somewhere in the bottom of the At
lantic," adds the Kalamazoo Gazette,
'lie the mortal remains of two new
heroes who willingly took a chance
with death-and lost" and this paper
says of them and their fellow mem
bers of the crew, good sailormen all
and true"
Dat ole devil sea has not changed
mans courage in spite Of all his furi-
Gus challenges" the Providence Bulle-
tin remarks with pride. Men are
still to be found who, when almost
certain death faces them, are ready
to give their lives in order that others
may enjoy life." Says the Knoxville
Sentinel. referring to the code of
ethics of the sea, a tradition of stout
hearted self sacrifice, these traditions
have become more than custom or
habit-they have become the unwrit-
ten law of the seven seas" while the
Yonkers Herald declares that 'the
code of the sea is in itself an emo
tional appeal to all of mans finest
qualities"
Applauding Capt. Fried for his de-
cision to stand by the sinking freight
er, the Danville Bee calls attention to
the fact that this determination was
reached even though there was a
cumulative burden on the mans
mind. He had his own passengers
safety to consider. He had a valuable
ship to answer for. and he was in the
teeth Of a gale lasting for days-yet

SHOOTING STARS.

Hobby HOrn.

Hobby Horse.
The hobby horse makes a display
OF agile agitation,
But never offers a display
OF much determination.
He never journeys in the storm
Where traffic Is confusing.
He stays where 1t is safe and warm,
The kids find him amusing.
His is life of surest luck
Free from severe endeavor.
And yet, I'd rather pull a truck
Than hobby-horse forever.

yesterdays to large part Of our popu-

has been elevated to an art and a

gather statistics which would show
the number of collectors in various
countries. but there is no way by
which statisticians can tag all col

there are hundreds of thousands Of

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A great deal of fun was poked at
the late President Harding's use OF
the word "normalcy." but time has ad
Judged him more or less correct in
his views.
The normal. in all phases Of life. Is
more to be desired than fine gold. II
ls the bloom on the peach Of life.
Let a child. for instance. be normal
and the parents have done the best
for him they ever can do.
In all the ordinary relations Of life
normalcy Is the be-all and end-all. the
alpha and the omega, the last for
which the first was made.
1t means more, In the long run. than
any amount Of special conditions. The
so-called "underprivileged boy" is more
fortunate, granted he be perfectly nor
NAL, than the child born with a silver
spoon in his mouth las the somewhat
absurd phrase has it). who Is weak In
any link
Education, travel. honor, rank
these may be added in later years. but
normalcy, in mind. heart and brain.
in body and soul, are with us at the
start, or scarcely ever.
Prisons, hospitals, unhappy homes
hold the abnormal, ranging all the
way from various forms OF the III
fated to misplaced persons who spend
their hours wrangling and nagglng at
each other.
Every one Of us is bit abnormal.
II the bitter truth were known, In
some way or other. which is all the
more reason why we should so stead.
lastly hold up before our hazy eyes
the standards Of normalcy.
To be normal. In everyday actions.
may seem an easy proposition. hut. as
r matter Of fact, Is as hard a JOB as
most Of US will ever tackle.
Perhaps normalcy Is found better i'll
the average small town of the United
States than in any large city. :,
Mr.. Harding was typical small
town man; that was why he put
his finger with such unerring empha-
sis on the weak spot developing IN
American life.
The small towns Of this country set
the pace in normalcy. What exists In
them is what ought to exist In larger
places.
Main Street" and other novels
PLAYED up some features OF small
towns. but left unnoticed the many
virtues of all such places.
Even gossip Is virtue, IN some re-
spects.
bors Is normal. To talk about what
they do. and the way they do 1t, Is
merely to be interested in others.
The selfish city attitude, living next
door to a family and not even know
ing their names. Is utterly unnatural.
When the family down the block
stages a grand row" there IL no use
for any one to pretend indifference.
Mrs. Wilmington Jones may put on
all sorts Of airs. emphatically declar-
ing she is not at all interested in such
'goings on"
Being polite souls. We make out We
believe her. CThis. too, is somewhat
abnormal.)
AS soon as we leave. however. we
have q very deep suspicion that Mrs.
Wilmington Jones runs to the window
and peers out to see II she may catch
the latest move on the part Of the
Quarreling family.
Down in her stylish heart Mrs.
Jones Is Just the same sort Of mortal
as the rest Of us.
When she saw the flying members
Of the fighting family pour out the
front door a bright gleam came into
her eyes, just the same as a similar
CLINT hoped into the vision chasers

Another historic landing at Plym-
outh has occurred, this time on the
shores of Britain. There the American
liner President Roosevelt put into
port after her titanic battle with the
sea, in which the entire crew Of the
British freighter Antinoe was saved
and two Of the American rescuers lost
their lives. Now the world sings the
praises Of Capt. George Fried and his
crew.
The Saginaw News Courier draws
a graphic picture Of the arrival Of the
liner at Plymouth, where representa-
tives Of the British admiralty and of
the civilian organizations having to
do with maritime affairs assembled to
greet Capt. George Fried of the Roose-
welt, and conveyed to him, his officers
and crew warmest congratulations
on their heroic conduct. 1.-The Eng
lish Of Drake and Raleigh. of Jellicoe
and Beatty, welcomed with open arms
the officers and crew Of the Yankee
steamer and paid tribute to the gal
liant rescue Of all on board the Brit
ish freighter Antinoe," says the Lou
tsville CourterJournal, which calls this
tribute an example Of "the brother
hood Of the sea" and q recognition
Of the finest maritime traditions that
frightened the ties of Anglo-American
kinship." The appreciative reception
given Capt. Fried and his brave men
on British soil is noted also by the
Seattle Daily Times. which says the
British newspapers have praised
Capt. Fried and his crew without
stint"
Briefly rehearsing the story which
today is known around the world the
Rochester Times Union recalls how
on January "a, at $40 o'clock in the
afternoon, the sos call of the An.
tinoe reached the President Roosevelt.
From that time until o'clock on
the 28th, every man, from Capt. Fried
to the toiling engine room force, gave
his utmost to the task of saving
the lives of imperiled fellow seamen. -
The conditions under which they
worked could seldom be matched for
hardship inflicted, as the Flint Daily
Journal points out, saying: Capt
Fried and the Roosevelt's crew out
faced and outgamed fury and violence
OF stOrm-storm which cannot be ap-
preciated by landsmen under whose
feet the earth Is solid; wind which
snatches the breath, takes shouts
from ones lips and whirls them away
Into nothtngness; sleet that beats on
unprotected flesh like needles, leaving
1t raw; pillows mountain high, that
made the handling of boats a peril
imminent and constant, only to be
averted by the highest courage and
skill
