LAW OF THE SEA
(New York sun)

Two men adrift on the Atlantic in a disabled motor boat sighted a transatlantic liner, flew signals of distress and were certain that their plight was observed by the crew of the steamer. The ship went on; two days later the drift CTS were picked up by a Coast Guard cutter. One of the rescued men brought a civil action against the owners of the liner to recover damages for the privations. he endured and subsequent medical attention.
 The International Salvage Treaty adopted by twenty nations in 1910 says that every master is bound, so far as he can do so without serious danger to his vessel and her crew and passengers, to render assistance to everybody, even though an enemy. found at sea in danger of being lost. But it adds that the owner of the vessel incurs no liability by reason of contra vention of this provision.
 Congress supplemented the treaty with statute imposing a fine of sl,000 or Imprisonment for not more than two years on q master who failed to so tn the assistaneA

A Book a Day.
It's A Bit Shocking, But Rather Amusing
BY BRUCE CAPTION

High-class infidelity seasoned with lazy wit goes to make ''Medi- terranean Blues" by Yvonne Cloud, an entertaining bit of sum mer reading.
 To be sure, if you happen to feel that there's enough infidelity in real life. without looking for more in books, I shan't quarrel with your viewpoint. But this book is really pretty funny, if you don't mind reading matter which is mildly improper.
 | It has to do with young Lon don department store gal who takes the easiest way and thereby brings down upon herself lot of complications.
 Her gentleman friend and pro- tector is a pompous London music critic, who Jugs her off to the Ri- viera and, Tn his idle moments, seeks to make her acquainted with the best thoughts in the realm of the fine arts.
 This proving a strain, she falls for neighbor, ne'er-do-well who is younger and snappier than the regular boy friend; but this chap
 
 immediately stuffs her mind full of stuff about Frued, inhibitions, compleXes and such- like. All of which leaves the poor girl who really just wants to be en- tertained-bewildered and unhap- py. Everybody wants to improve her mind, and there are times when she feels that she'd be bet ter off back in the store.
 For complications, the book gives us a priceless Spanish swind- Ter. sundry retired British colonels, and several of those masterful British females who. if they are as numerous and as obnoxious as English novelists suggest. help one to understand why continental peoples occasionally become in- famed with a desire to annihilate the British race.
 Published by Vanguard. this book sells for s2.

 None of these pictures were of the goody-goody type They contained honest thrills, sentiment and tragedy. They sug- gest what can be done when the emphasis is on good show rather than on narrow ly avoiding offensive scenes or lines.

Selected Poem
THE ANCIENT MIRACLE

(Bert cooksey in The New York Times) Fair my roads and fair my gypsy streams. Rich the songs my fern-cool hillwnd sings, And deep within my woods are many dreams No time steal away, Yet evening brings, Constant starlight and the turning sum- Each word she spoke, each golden hearted day Spent at her side--and always o1 by one, My hills and streams aud woodlands fade away. Young larks bring carols to my garden gate, Languid and most conten. my flowers bloom Only each silver day as dawn grows late Velvet dreams are velvet, through my room Echo her tiny footsteps, and my lands Rich as they are, retreat oefore her hands

Customs employees honored Fannie Dix on Welch, collector of the port for this state, at an outing last Saturday. Elm ployes of this federal department rendered the party. Among the several speakers were James L. McGovern of Bridgeport who held the same post as Mrs Welch's during the administration of Woodrow Wilson. "Jim" as he is more familiarly known throughout this state was high in his praise of this branch of the federal service. And in the newspaper world the praises of "Jim" himself are heralded just as far and as loudly. If anybody knows the state and it's political happenings it's "Jim" McGovern. His wide acquaintance ship gives him an opportunity to acquire the more intimate details of what is occur ring. His newspaper experience dates back over many years. We doubt if any
 person in the trade is held in higher es- teem and while he is seldom heard he is usually seen where things are happening.

Leave it to "Der Stuermer" to pin something like this on us. The notorious anti-Semetic newspaper, published at Nuremberg, declares that there are eleven Jews in President Roosevelt's cabinet. While the article itself is incorrect in such a statement, even this condition of affairs need not call for any particular surprise or undue publicity. Racial characteristics do not determine the calibre of the cabinet member. To date President Roosevelt has done pretty we'll in the men he has sur- rounded himself with. What care we what their creed, race or color?

RICE STATES
job REQUIRES
AN ENGINEER

A REGISTERED CIVIL ENG1-
NEER has numerous advantages
over che who has qualified only as
a licensed land surveyor. The Il
censed land surveyor, though quail
TIED fer the office of county sur
vevor. IS LIMITED to the practice
of land surveying. The REGISTER
ED ENGINEER not only has ALL
the qualifications and privileges
granted the licensed land surveyor,
but in addition may practice civil
engineering in all It's branches;
such as the design and construc-
ton of highways. drainage, water
supply. flood control, sewerage.
foundations, buildings, bridges and
the ike which the licensed land
surveyor is PROHIBITED by law
from doing.
The law is a good law and IS
based upon the assumption that
the design OF structures and sys-
tens. upon which the public health
welfare or lie depends, shall be
designed and constructed ONLY by
men of proper training and ability.
The relation between the license :
land surveyor and the Registered
Civil Engineer is very similar TO
that between the professions Of
nurse and doctor. The nurse can
not legally perform all Of the dut-
les and functions Of the doctor but
the doctor can perform all eof the
duties and functions Of the nurse.
Is it not apparent that che Eho
has proven his training, ability
and capacity by legally qualifying
as a Civil Engineer more competent
to render a much greater and use
ful service to the county than one
who is qualified by law to perform
ONLY the lesser Of these fune-
tons.
Is it not better policy 10 put into
the office the man the OFFICE
NEEDS; one from whom we may
be justified in expecting and de
manding full and competent ser
vice for the county?
