A Navy in Peace-Time

The usese to which a navy is put in peace-time are
rather odd, when you stop to think about it.
Built for the sole purpose Of destroying lives and prop
erty, warships have a way of turning themselves into
humanitarian enterprises whenever-as is usually the
case-there are no wars going on.
What happened recently at Santo Domingo Is a case
in point.
A hurricane hit the capital city, killed three or four
thousand people and wrecked most Of the houses.
Immediately q Dutch gunboat proceeded up from Para
marble under forced draft to give what relief it could.
An American destroyer slid out of Hampton Roads and
shot down with q load of medical supplies, while other
American warships brought sailors and marines and doc
tors to the scene as fast as they could.
A British cruiser dropped into the harbor a few days
later and landed marines to help in the task of keeping
order. preventing. looting and serving the homeless and
the hungry.
Now the interesting part about all of this is that jobs
Of this sort aren't unusual for the navy. They're right
in It's line Of duty. Any peace-time year finds dozens of
similar jobs falling to the lot Of warships all over the
world.
A yacht carrying a pleasure party from Europe to
America goes astray, and an 100000 cruiser drops
everything and puts Id weeks searching for 1t.
An airplans comes down In mid-ocean, and fighting
ships Of al descriptions converge on the spot to see II

orient stands BY to render aid II possible.

You Make Your Own Trap
By Elsie Robinson

nON'T be afraid of life. Life
~ isn't some malign monster
over which you have no con-
trol-a monster which may
pounce on you unexpectedly
with some horrid fate. LIFE is
WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
Your fate doesn't come from
outside it comes from
inside. You, yourself, build it.
You do not build it in one great
decision. You build it in mil
lions of tiny decisions.
You do not consider these de-
ciSions important when you
make them. You're hurried, or
bothered, or angry, so you do
the easiest thing.
1T doesn't really matter"
you say to yourself, and go off
and forget it. But it does mat
ter, for that unconsidered de-
cision was a link in the chain
of your fate. Some day that
tiny link will help to bind you.
There's poor Jim. doing 10
years for embezzlement, over in
the pen. Jim's a nice chap,
with honest eyes and fine ideals.
You'd never believe he stole
that money from his bank. He
can't believe it himself. The
temptation came so suddenly.
Or, rather, he thinks it came
suddenly. Actually it had been
coming and he had been Yield

by unconsidered acts.
No fate ever happens sud-
denly. We are what we've
made ourselves.
Judas was a betrayer years
before he gave Christ that fatal
kiss. And, by the same token,
Lincoln was a leader years be-
fore he assembled the White
House steps. A hundred times
a day he nominated and elected
himself and never knew
it!
But surely there are events
over which we have no control
events which shape our whole
lives" you say. Sickness and
poverty and the loss of some
one you love these things
aren't created INSIDE you.
They happen from OUT
SIDE"
Yes, they happen from out
Slde-but its the reaction to
them that happens inside you
that really counts. Sickness,
poverty and loss happen to mil
lions of people. Some triumph
over them, some surrender to
them. in just the measure that
they've made themselves strong
or weak. Robert Louis Steven
