Being an economist and humor-
list simultaneously today may seem
rather homogeneous to many but not
to Stephen Leacock. He Is one econ
omist who can still see the bright
side Of life and, what is more, write
humorously about it. Born in Swan
moor, England, in 1869, educated at
the Universities of Toronto and Chi
cago, Leacock first taught economy
in Upper Canada college and then
in the University of Chicago. In
1904 he became head Of the depart
ment of economics at McGill univer-
sity, Montreal. Considered one of
the greatest of Canadian humorists,
Leacock has written several books,
among them being Moonbeams
From the Large Lunacy and College
Days.

A Hospital AfOat

The Maryland Bible Society is but
one of a group of local societies de-
voted to the challenging task Of dis
tributing the Holy Scriptures. Ave
nues of distribution vary according to
local conditions. The personality of
our American cities is as versatile as
that of our citizens, and local geogra-
ply has vital relationship to the
Bible Society's task of getting the
Book of Books into hands and hearts
that need it.
Thus it happens that in New York
a unique opportunity has presented it.
self to our fellow-workers in that
great city, whereby the city's poor
and ailing children are being served.
The new, all-steel, freproof, nom
sinkable hospital ship of the St. Johns
Guild, which is really a playground
for the sickly and handicapped young
sters of New York, puts out to sea six
days week with a passenger list of
really poor families, who are given a
day on the harbor waters where ocean
breezes relieve the oppressive atmos-
phere of the hot tenements in which
they must spend the torrid summer
days. These sea-going summer resorts
have cheered over two million under
privileged passengers, and enabled
them to exchange the fetid, heat-sod-
den air of New York slums "for the
breeze that whistles clearly up the
Lower Bay"
The New York Bible Society en-
ploys two hospital workers, Misses
Browne and Thomas, who make spec
tally arranged trips on the floating
hospital. Their report Of a recent
quarter, or three months period,
shows total distribution to passen-
gers and employees on the ship of so
New Testaments and 1,761 Portions
that is, individual books, such as
Gospel of st. John or the Epistle to
the Romans-in sixteen different Ian
guages. They also gave out 319 pic
ture cards with Scripture verses for
the nursery children. English Psalms
were given the Jewish passengers and
Douay Gospels to Roman Catholics.
English Gospels or Diglot portions
English and foreign languages in
parallel columns) were presented to
Protestants. A rule was made to give
only the Books to mothers and to the
older children able to read. The many
incidents reported show that the
Books were we'll received and the of
ficers and employees on the ship were
very appreciative.
A letter from the Superintendent of
the st. Johns Guild to the workers of
the Bible Society reveals the cordial
attitude manifested toward this splen-
did work.
81 received your information in re-
gard to the number of different ma
tionalities on board the Floating Hos
pital during the days that you were on
board. I appreciate this information
very much. 1t is interesting and en-
Tightening and it will help me great
deal in being able to get an idea of the
different nationalities which come on
board during the season. 1t was a
pleasure having you come out with us
on the trip and hope that we shall
be fortunate enough to have you with
US again next year."
The Floating Hospital contacts and
works with over three hundred and
fifty organizations and carries on it's
benefcent work without regard to
race, creed or nationality.

SUPREME COURT
 DENIES FILINGS AGAINST BLACK
Highest Tribunal Refuses to Permit of Contest
 Over Judges s Seat

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Su- preme Court of the United States today refused to permit Albert Levitt, former Federal Judge of the Philippines, and Patrick Henry Kelly Boston attorney, to contest Hugh L. Blacks right to 6 seat on the bench of the high tribunal.
 The action gave Black clear title to his Associate Justices post so far as the present challengers are concerned.
 Levitt indicated, however, he might start other proceedings.
 The Supreme Court refused to permit Levitt to file his petition which contended Black was consti- tutionally ineligible to the position claim there was no vacancy.
 Kelly's motion was denied on the same base as that of Levitt's.
 The Court held Levitt had no special or particular interest in the seating of Black and declared that the private individual must indicate danger of sustaining direct injury.

The black bulk of Mount Juneau rearing into rain-filled night-two searchlights cleaving darkness to lay pale white blob of illumina- tion on the steep Hanks of the peak and from that spotlighted stage setting the cries of men in distress to frantic and puzzled searchers scurrying helplessly at the foot of almost inaccessible heights-that is the picture of Saturday nights res- cue party for Richard M. Frank, and Robley N. Martin, firemen on the U. s. Coast Guard cutter Haida.
 Shortly after Saturday noon. the two men had left the cutter to hunt on Mount Juneau, climbing the diz- zying lodges just above the first bridge on the Basin road Frank, Martins senior, and more versed lin mountain climbing. several times before the fateful descent, saved Martin from death.
 We climbed nearly to the top and could climb no further" said Martin, nursing badly gashed fin ger. Tt was pretty dangerous and twice fell-and the only thing that saved me was Frank grabbing me by the seat of my pants"

 After being stymied by bare rock that offered no handholds just below the top of the mountain. the two men attempted to retrace their steps, but found downhilI going much harder than the ascent. Fi- nally, after passing their guns from ledge to ledge, Martin reached for a jutting spur of rock.
