Going, Going
At rare intervals something hap
pens to make RR pause and re-
fleet upon the insidious influences
of the machine age and the result
ant wear and tear on the brain
tissue.
Such a something happened the
other evening when RR needed a
package of cigarettes and groped
in his pockets for coins to put III
a cigarette machine. The coins To-
Gated, RR put them in the right
slots and waited for the gadgot 10
spew out package, but nothing
happened. SUDDENLY coming out OF
the fog RR found he was loading
coins into a pay telephone!
In something of a sweat RR call
ed the operator and demanded MS
IS cents back. The sweet voice re-
piled:
"I'm sorry, you'll have to make
a formal claim on the company
Then they'll probably send you a
check"
What the operator probably
wanted to say was; They'll send
YOU to an asylum" And somehow,
though sadly, RR agrees.

AL G. Smith, back from SoJourn
in Mexico, had new slant on
handling the Spanish language,
"Sure I can speak Spanish all

It's speaking the right type at the

"Trhere is a formal Spanish to
Use outside the home and a house

woe to you if you get them mixed.
But the hardest kind OF Spanish

LIFE OF STOWAWAY
is NO LONGER EASY
Adventure Now Stripped of
Old-Time Romance.

BOSTON.-Capt. Nels Helgesen of
the steamship Puerto Rico believes
that the day of the romantic stow
away is over and that he proSpers
only in the realm of fiction.
"Stowaways today must run the
gauntlet of a sharp-eyed ships per-
sonnet and equally keen immigra-
ton authorities, said the captain.
This doesn't mean that they don't
try to get away with it, however. On
one trip from Puerto Rico We ap-
pretended one of these nervy fell
lows right on the gangway in New
York with several hundred dollars
in his pocket. He was dressed in a
way that rivaled Clark Gable but the
immigration authorities found he
had no landing card and that of
course exposed him.
Another case was that of young
fellow whom the deck steward
nabbed going from first to second
class, eXcactly one hour out of San
Juan, P. R., on the way to New
York. He was hatless. dressed in
blue serge suit and had managed
to put away a heavy lunch before
he was spotted.
knowing that next morning we
would come within hailing distance
of the Borinquen, another of our
steamers, we Wlrelessed the other
vessel to be on the lookout. Then,
when We came within about a mile
of her, we lowered a lifeboat over
the side with the Stowaway and four
Seamen who rOWcd him to the other
vessel
"On his arrival back home, am
told the young man was quickly
jailed but later released with a
heavy fine which his relatives were
obliged to pay
Heavy fines are imposed by the
government on steamship compa-
ny which allows a stowaway to
make his illegal entrance into the
country. thus possibly becoming a
burden and public charge Such
penalties are likely to become
stronger as time goes on. so that
surveillance aboard all vessels tends
to become correspondingly strict. :
Though stowaways are no long
er put to work scrubbing down the
decks as during rough-and-tumble
sailing ship days, the lot of a mod
ern Stowaway is not a thrilling one.
He is clapped in the brig or lone
ly stateroom and permitted neither
to talk nor see anyone until he is
returned to his original starting
point

grasshoppers damaged crops over a

good moisture content, begin your
planting. You must be CAREFUL
