PERILS OF THE SEA

Through mans earlier history
men dreaded the sea. and looked at
its perils with the utmost appre-
hension. We are reminded of dan
gers that still must be guarded
against as we read of the tragic
experience of those who perished
on the burning MORO Castle.
In the sacred hook of Revelation.
st. John said in his vision, there is
no more sea The men and women
of that day looked at a passage over
the sea as an experience to he ap-
preached with fear and apprehen-
sion. They had seen far too many
good ships wrecked by the fierceness
of the seas anger. while mariners
and passengers were sunk into the
briney deep.
The Atlantic Ocean is still noted
for storms and fogs. and mariners
must exercise their skill to avoid
collision when they can not see in
to the thick mist. Fire at sea is
always something to he. guarded
against.
The fear of the sea was still strong
Is years ago. as expressed at that
time by William Whiting. in these
lines:
Eternal Father, strong to save.
Whose arm doth bind the restless
wave.
Who bidst the mighty ocean deep.
Its own appointed limits keep.
o, hear us when we cry to thee.
For those in peril on the sea"
1t must have taken a high range
of courage for the old voyagers and
discoverers to cross the Atlantic
ocean to explore our country. Their
little ships were frail and feeble
craft with which to cross those
stormy pillows. Probably many of
those old adventurers went to the
bottom of the sea. victims of waves
that were too high for their ancient
craft.
Today it is a most extraordinary
thing for anything like the burning
and wreck of the Moro Castle to
happen. Marvels have been accom-
plished in overcoming the perils of
the sea, until ocean voyages are one
of the safest kinds of travel. Peo-
pie are safer on a good steamship
than they are in their own homes.

THE DANCING INDUSTRY

Miss Howard, publisher Of the
American Dancer. said in a recent
address that the business of in
struction in dancing creates a $780,.
OOO,O 900 industry. Many parents re-
gard dancing as an essential ele-
ment in education. AS a result. 16,-
500 teachers are giving instruction
in this art.
Ability to dance well is a social
asset. The young person who does
not possess that art must spend
much time looking on while others
enjoy themselves. Many people
formerly considered dancing to be
wicked. But the young people with
tendency to go wrong find places
where the temptations are greater
than in the we'll regulated dance
hall. A pastime in which young
people have such intimate relations
needs supervision. Sometimes the
young folks run wild when left to
themselves.

CHURCHES RESUME

All over the land churches are
reopening after the summer rest.
1t is remarked that the devil never
takes vacation, and the churches
shouldn't expect one. However, it
is hard to keep up the fervor of
church work with the thermometer
rising into the nineties. Children
herded in Sunday school when they
want to be in swimming, don't usual
ly learn much.
The people look to the churches
in times of trouble. for inspiration
and instruction. In a time when
so many people are dishonest and
vicious, moral instruction is needed
more than ever. If the churches go
down, the principal force that keeps
people in the straight and narrow
path will be missed.

GOING TO COLLEGE

@Shall l go. to college?" has beer
question asked by many thousands
of young people during recent weeks
and some are still asking it. The
colleges as usual will take in great
! entering classes.
Many of these young people en-
tertain misconceptions about what
a college degree will do for them.
They have read statistics showing
that the average college graduate
earns more money than others. But
1t should also be considered that the
young people who go on through
college usually hold a higher rank
as students than those who do not
make that attempt. If these young
people never entered any college
hall, they would still be earning
more money in 10 years than the
average young person. Their su-
perior ability to learn school les
sons, indicates they will have su-
perior ability to learn about the oc-
they enter.
If student has just average abil-
ity at book learning, II is not at all
sure that the college course is worth
the money and sacrifice it will cost.
OF course if his family can afford
to send him. he will gain social ad-
from the course. He will
learn useful things, provided he
makes a real effort to study. and does
not waste his time on too much
sporting and social life.
Every day life is a college, as we'll
as the scholastic halls of some fine
The boy or girl who is
determined to learn can learn any
where. Every newspaper is an in
structor that can teach him much.
The young person who reads good
and magazines carefully, |
and tries to learn all they have to |
leach him. will know more in 10 |
years than a college student who |
lakes his courses merely for social |
and athletic reasons.

MAINE ENDS PROHIBITION

One of the dramatic results of the
Maine election, was the action of
that state in rejecting prohibition
by large majority. Maine was the
first state to establish such a law.
Far back in 1851, its people, aroused
by the excesses of the liquor busi-
ness, proceeded to bury old John
Barleycorn, in firm faith that he
would not rise to life on that soil.
But it is hard to keep the old boy
buried. He has a most amazing life.
Great abuses follow the excessive
use of liquor. But for the present
at least, the majority of American
voters seem indisposed to tolerate
any dictation by government as to
their personal habits. ''

LABOR'S SHARE

The labor troubles which hay'
disturbed the industries for the pas
year appear to be principally dul
to belief on the part of the wage
earners that they are not getting
their fair share of the earnings ant
wealth of the country.
The country is in no mood to &c
over to socialism or communism
and if it did, 1t could not expect that
labor would be better rewarded un-
der those systems. Certainly very
few people manifest any desire to
move to Russia, where the alleged
blessings of communism have been
offered the people for some II years.
It would be possible for employers
to pay higher wages, If they could
get more for their product. But
when they advance prices. then sales
drop off. and that means unemploy-
ment for the workers.
Wage-earners often feel that bust
ness profits should be reduced. so
that they could obtain higher pay.
Very likely some employers should
be content with smaller gains, so
that they could give their work
people living wage. But If you cut
business profits too much, there is
no incentive for people to go into
business. and people are not en-
ployed.
Business should be so organized
that the production and sales of all
could be largely increased.
That is the best way to increase the
share of labor. If you could double
the product of all industries, and
sell all the goods thus made through
exchange of all these products, then
all labor should be able to earn
much higher pay.
To accomplish that end. it would
be necessary to so maintain the pur-
power of the people. that all
sold. Also labor and capital would
have to work in harmony. Indus
rial conflict destroys such possi-
)ilities.

of employees having felt the impetus
OF its $12,O00.0O0 buying campaign,

| climax to a huge purchasing drive
during the spring and summer
months when Sears buyers. in re-
sponse to the instructions of Cen

president in charge Of merchandise
ing, went into the markets for more
than $12,000,0O0 worth of new mer-

store Thursday and during the ten
days of the event will see merchan-
disc procured from 5000 manufac-
turing sources located in "A states.
Sears has faith in the continued

by a growing demand for American
goods on the part Of the general
public"

Kay the industries whose produc-
tion was accelerated by these ami

that the researchers for the Demo-
