Seattle Times)

When the Alaska Steamship Con- pany's liner Aleutian, flagship of the fleet, sails from Seattle April 27 on a cruise to Honolulu with members of the Pacific Coast In- ternational Association of Law En- forcement Officials en route to their convention in the Hawaiian city, she will be commanded by Capt. Joseph Ramsauer. Captain Ram sauer first saw the Seattle water front from the deck of the little sailing schooner Fanny Dutard as she arrived from California more than thirty years ago.
 The Fanny Dutard came to the Northwest to load lumber in Bal lard for California. Later, Captain Ramsauer was fisherman in the Dutard, which carried lumber coast wise in the winter and fished for cod in Bering Sea in the summer.
 Captain Ramsauer first visited Honolulu in sailing vessels and a few years ago delivered the steam ship Haleakala, chartered for serv- ice in the Seattle Alaska route by the Alaska Steamship Company, back to her owner, the Inter-Island steam Navigation Company of Hon. olulu
 As sailor before the mast, Cap tain Ramsauer roamed the seas in windjammers. He was in the Nor wegian bark Regina, wrecked in South Africa thirty-six years ago. The vessel was driven ashore in a storm. e Captain Ramsauer sustained a broken leg while fighting his way through the surf and was in hospital at Port Elizabeth seven recovering from his in- juries.

president of the American Museum

boarding their funds.

yet another idea.

Treasury asking that a penny
with Benjamin Franklin's face on
it and nickel carrying a likeness
Of Abraham Lincoln should be
comed-but that wasn't all. He
also said:
I'm this city the Govern

This should be utilitarian in

Safety ZOnes?'

VXTITH the year less than month old about dozen
w persons have died already the result Of automo-
bile accidents on the streets of Washington.
Many others have been killed the roads and high
ways in nearby Maryland and Virginia, their deaths
being at least in measure countabe as part of the
ctys toll.
Somehow or other Washingtonians whether drivers
of automobiles or nondrivers will have to get together
to find remedy for condition which is intolerable.
Apparently the authorities powerless to cut out
the heavy death and injury toll and the responsibility
must be accepted by all of US.
The other night woman was struck by an automo-
bile as she stood in "safety zone' awaiting street

Motorists would do we'll to bear in mind that the
street car safety established for the benefit
of the motorists and not particularly to help the pedes

Before these zones were established the regulations
REQUIRED that all automobiles come to stop behind
street cars loading or discharging passengers.
This regulation greatly impeded traffic and the safety
zone was devised in order that the street riders
might board the in safety and at the same time
automobile traffic might be allowed to proceed.

stopping every time street car stops?

be the kind of person who achieved
happiness and safety. Slowly you
began building a secret picture Of
yourself as that kind Of person.
Sometimes the picture fitted
reality-often it didn't. But you
went on building it-and believe
in it. The more the world criti-
