Years on Water.

The lure OF a landlubber's home In
the balmy South. away from the glitter
and noise and fOrmality of daily routine
aboard the worlds largest liner, was
the real motive underlying the sudden
resignation this week Of Capt. Herbert
Hartley as commander Of the Leviathan
and commodore of the United States
Lines fleet.
once too often Capt. Hartley listened
to the saxophonic appeal OF the ship S
orchestra that he turn his steps toward
vine-clad home way down South In
Alabamy.'
Once 90 often he weighed the glamour
OF his position as commander OF a
great passenger ship and its opportunl-
ties for meeting 80 many nice people,
against the heart tug for quiet busi-
ness and home life away from the wnlri
of things.
Through With Sea Forever.
Once too often he considered the fact
that romance. which he found three
wears ago aboard his big vessel, Is not

Capt. Hartley declared yesterday after
noon in an interview in his room at the
Carlton Hotel. "Thirty-five years on

No more exact parallel to the prim'

The freer his speech to the soy

his approach to the plain, natural
truth of things, the more he Is ap
preciated and applauded. The wider
his experience of human nature and
the closer his interpretations come to
the residual common sense OF man
kind, the more firmly. by common
consent, he Is fixed In his job The
more profound and subyerslve his i'm

AT the republican sOyereigns court.

Rings of Many Kinds
Figure at Weddir gs

A wedding ring is not always a
finger ring. There was once a ccte-
brated, but hasty, royal wedding,
when a curtain ring served the pur-
pose. At London church the BRIDE
groom had left the ring at home, but
a resourceful bridesmaid cut OF a
lock Of the brides golden hair. plated
1t In a ring, and the ceremony was
completed.
At a fashionable wedding in Lam
cashire church when the bridegroom
lost the ring a wedding guest took the
gold-rimmed monocle from his eye,
broke out the glass, handed the frame
to the bridegroom and the wedding
went on. A somewhat shiftless print
er pawned the ring the day before the
wedding, and the india rubber ring
from an umbrella had to serve; after
the knot was tied the kindly clergy
man lent him the money to redeem
the gold token.

one from his glove and was duly mar

the proper moment, though he had 1t

he had, In his embarrassment, put the

One of his friends was dispatched to

The geological survey says that the

Crude petroleum of paraff1n base is be
lieved to be formed of vegetable de-

is believed to be formed Of organic
matter containing n large proportion
OF animal matter. Substantially the
same products are obtained from pc
troleum of either base, except asphalt,
which is obtained from asphaltic Pc

their instructors Since the body is
more perfect than any other machine It
should be properly reverenced and
given exceptionally good care. This
sums up in a general way the prin-
cipal features of the health course.
Good care of the body is reflected in
ones personal habits. This is we'll
illustrated by the fact that the person
who lives In a wholesome way reflects
care, whereas the person who has
lived a careless, Incorporate life usu.

Food and drink are matters Of vital
Importance which are not only abso-
lutely essential TO life itself but their
intelligent use is a great aid to ones
general health and well being. Food
and its various classifications were
one OF the subjects covered at great
length In the telephone companys
health course. The students learned
what to eat, what is injurious to
health and that certain things which
may be good for one person are un-
desirable for another Overweight,
they were told. is just as detrimental
to some people as underweight is TO
others.
Under the formation OF good habits
OF living, those taking the telephone
health course learn that one OF the
secrets of good health is a proper
frame OF mind. Just as the mind
controls ones voluntary actions such
as walking and talking. so 1t has a
most important influence on the more
voluntary body functions The young
women were taught that an improper
