oarsman paused to light cigarette.
This is but one of the incidents re

called for eight volunteers. They
were lowered down the tall side Of
the liner in cocl,}csholl lifehoat
into the plung,ng waves and they
began pcrilous quarter mile jour
ncy to the Fiorida.' Maneuvcr-
,ng his great ship with the skin Of

CANDIDATES FOR MUSEUM

The government Is to create a western reservation
for the pcrpetuation Of the famous long horned cattle
which made the American cowboy famous and the carly
Texas ranchers wealthy. The purpose is to prevent the
breed from becoming extinct so future generations may
be able to see in the flesh the animals that once roamcd
the American plains and first put Texas on the world
map.
That the long horns are threatened with extinction
may be news to "tenderfeet," but 1t is a fact that they
began to disappear even before the end of the open
range. Other breeds were found to yield more beef, and
to be more easily handled. Experiments were made in
crossing the new type with the old. but in time the long
horns became rare. Today they are nearly gone.
Were it not for the picturesque nature and history Of
these steers Of the days Of the golden west. the fact
that the government sees fit to preserve them under
special care might cause speculation as to how soon
Uncle Sam will take steps to perpetuate certain speci-
mems OF the famous moo-cow. which seems to be dis
appearing under efforts to improve registered breeds
Of cattle.
And why not save the moo-cow, which is just plain
COW. from extinction? Certainly the animal that was
lust COW and not q stcrilized, pampcrcd bovine aristo-
crat had qualities which entitle 1t to a niche in the
natural history hall Of. fame. At least she was a men,
Der OF the family and just as ~tearfully mourned in death
as was Dcbbin or Rover or Tabby. And in those dear
dim days beyond recall "bossy' gave milk that didn't
require food = pectors and chemists to find the butter

failure. But II they are big enough. it can bring a
tremendous amount OF good.
1t might. conccivably. mean the passing Of force as q
means Of settling international differences. That is what
it actually can and will mean. II the plain people Of this
and other nations resolve that 1t must. and give their
resolve a voice. There Is more hope for world peace
today than at any time in the past.
The tradition OF war is a strong one. But II the old
British naval tradition can be given up, the whole wax
tradition is in peril.
Docs that seem far-fe:chcd? Consider the entire
situation for a moment.
England and America. the two greatest world powers
today, stand in a situation which. always before in all
the worlds history. has led to war. Yet the prospects
are that there will be no war. England and America,
from present indications, will never fight one another.
This, of course, isn't solely the doing Of Premier Mac
Donald and President Hoover. Thousands upon thou
sands Of thinking men and women in each nation can
share in the credit. But the result is the same. Until
very recently it was said. and believed. that England and
America we're destined to fight it OUT for world SUI
prcmacy: and the two nations now are simply deciding
that they don't care to submit to that kind of destiny.
Examine the chain Of events that preceded tho war
between England and Germany.
The two were great commercial rivals. England has
enjoyed a rich overseas trade for more than a century.
Germany, younger. more busting and more efficient,
was getting into this trade, taking away old markets by
wholesale.
In addition, Germany had built a vast war flcct-the
only fleet in existence that could compare with Eng
lands. Leaders in each country kept comparing these
fleets, talking about them, looking to the day when
they would meet.
So, in the course Of time, the two nations went to war;
and we have got into the habit Of saying that that war
was inevitable
Perhaps it was. Yet the present situation between
America and England is the exact parallel Of that earlier
situation between Germany and England.
America. now, is cutting into Britains markets, grow
ing rich on an overseas trade that used to be Britains.
America, now. has the only fleet that can rival Britain's.
But the two nations are turning away from the lin
evitable" war. They are stopping In the midst Of their
rivalry, making concessions. s~quelching the war talk.
looking for some way Of making peace endure.
BY the simple process Of using common sense they are
%rcshaping their own destinies. It may be, after all, that
the rulers Of the earth have learned something from the
World war.

HOLY ROMAN p

HULL AN GIl kNE
On Aug. 6, 1906, the Holy Roman
Empire ceased to exist when Francis
II resigned the imperial crown after
having assumed the title Of Emperor
of Austria.
The Roman Empire was the crea-
ton of Otto the Great, who was
crowned emperor by the pope in
Rome in the year 962. Technically, it
was a prolongation Of the Empire Of
Charles (Charlemagne). 1t was
based upon ideas which brought about
the coronation of Charles the Great
in 500.
The restored empire included, reck-
oning strictly, only Germany proper
and two-thirds of Italy; or counting
subject but separate kingdoms, Bur-
gundy, Bohemia, Moravia, Poland,
Denmark, perhaps Hungary.
Under Otto, the Germans became
not only a united nation, but were at
once raised on a pinnacle, the pos
SCISSORS of Rome and Rome's author
ity.
In 1854, at the end Of the Hohen-
staufcn dynasty, the empire began
to sink rapidly in Importance and
owed any real authority which it pos
scssed to the strength Of the ruler
who was emperor.
The bonds which held the empire
together were greatly looscned in
164S when individual states were &C.
corded the right to enter into for
cign alliances.

WHEN AUTOS HIT TRAINS

" Is a revealing side-light on the nature of the aver
age notorist to learn that a huge percentage of all grade
crossing traffic accidents are caused, not by the train
striking the auto. but by the auto striking the train.
This. OF course. means that the motorist was either
extremely careless or extremely foolhardy. II he were
trying to beat the train to the crossing, his judgment
was simply atrocious-the train got there first with yards
to spare. And II he simply failed to see it, he was guilty
OF an inattcntion that seems almost unbelievable.
What we started to say was the figures show that there
were more OF that kind Of crossing accidents last year
than ever before. And Just what is to be done about it
we don't know. You would think that any driver could
keep from running onto a crossing that was already oc-
cupied by a moving train. But, apparently, an increasing
number can not.
