WOBURN, Mass, Jan. 2.-Mayor
William E. Kane began his second
term today with the announcement
that he intended to employ private
detectives to police the Police De-
partment.
IT expect greater vigilance and
strict attention to duty by the men,
bers of the Police Department, Mr..
Kane said in his inaugural address.
However, to make sure that full
cooperation is given by the depart

annual budget sufficient appropria-

to not only insure proper law en-
forcement, but to gather the neces-
sary evidence against inefficient

Thereafter. drastic action will be
TAKEN" said Mr.. Kane, who once in

Ship Sales 10 Norway
Regarded in Accord
With j. ). Neutrality
Ownership Transfer
Overcomes Objections
To Punumuniun Shift
D the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
In contrast to the outcry against
the proposed transfer of eight Amer
lean merchant ships to Panamanian
registry, their sale to a Norwegian
corporation-just approved by the
Maritime Commission-met virtually
no opposition.
The difference may be traced to a
decision of the Interdepartmental
Committee on Neutrality, not yet
formally announced. In effect, this
decision says:
Transfer of American ships to
the registry of Latin American ma
tions is Objectionable and must be
disapproved.
Transfer of American ships to
the registry of European or other
nations, neutral or belligerent, is less
Objectionable but must also be dis
approved.
outright sale, in which ownership
legitimately changes hands, may be
approved"
'Incidents" Avoided.
The purpose behind transfer Of
American ships at this time is to
permit them to operate in the
banned European combat area with
out plunging the United States into
diplomatic quarrels with belligerents
If anything should happen to the
vessels.
But many officials felt that if in
cidents developed to the ships while
flying the Panamanian flag, the
United States still might be involved
under the Pan-American neutrality
policy. If one of the ships were
sunk or seized by belligerent. par
ticularly within the Western Hemi-
sphere neutrality zone, the State
Department might feel called upon
to join Panama in diplomatic action,
and perhaps induce the other Amer
lean republics to line up, too.
President Roosevelt made this
point the gist of an adverse COM
ment on the Panama ship transfer
at a press conference.
1t was also felt that transfer to
Panama might affect United States
relations with other American re-
publics. They might conclude that
the great United States was using
little Panama as a lackey to do an
odd job which could bring trouble
to the rest of the hemisphere.
Norway Accepts Risk.
In an outright, bona fide sale, the
American financial interest in the
ship ceases. Before giving its ap-
proval to the sale of the United
States Lines vessels to the Norwe-
gian corporation, the Maritime
Commission had to decide whether
the corporation was genuine and
the sale complete. 1t evidently OBJ
tanned satisfactory information on
both points, and the company will
operate the ships between New
York and Boston and London and
Liverpool.
Norway and the United States
adopted opposing views on ship
ping losses in the World War, and
the difference still continues in
principle.
The loss of Americans on bellig
erent ships drove the United States
into the war
But Norway did not let her ship
ping losses prejudice her position as
a neutral. More than 40 per cent OF
her merchant marine was sunk and
1000 sailors were killed, but she
went on the theory that there al
ways was risk in shipping, in peace
time as we'll as in war.
Now the United States, through
the Neutrality Act, is keeping its
ships out of the danger area. But
Norway still is willing to risk it.

| b. ID. 81 could use TINS man
for a husband if he would only
marry me. Tell me what he thinks
of me and does his mother approve
of me?
Ans: He's day dreaming about
you constantly but he must fin
ish his college career and you
should too. Continue just as you
are now don't show your fond
ness for him too much and am
sure that he will take up more time
with you as days go by.
P. w. Twill realize anything
from my car that was torn up?
Tell me if the lawyer is stringing
me along?
Ans: Not Intentionally. AL
though it seems to me that if you
were to have received very much,
you would have gotten it before
two years. No, don't depend on re-
ceiving anything much from this
source, but a settlement will be
reached in a few months time.
B. w. WI want to know why
every time I go out my husband
asks where I have been? When I
ask him where he goes at night,
he says that's his business and
none of mine. He's always telling
me to leave. Should 1?
Ans: What a pity it is when
two young married people have to
start their married life off like this
you aren't suited and if you
both insist on running out at night
without the other one, you may as
well leave. 1t is my suggestion
that you 60 to work and start max
ing your own way. This may have
a tendency to make him appreciate
you more.
R. L. F.-Why won't my mother
let me go out places or should go
on and not notice her on what she
says? I am fifteen and my sweet
heart is going with another girl
and I am about to lose him.
Ans: Peace at home means
/
more to you than holding your sup
posed to be sweetheart's friendship
right at this time. You aren't old
enough to receive regular company
and your mother isn't going to let
you run around loose like some of
your friends. This boy friend of
yours doesn't love anyone .
don't waste your thoughts on him.
Ma. D.-For the past five years
I have been working with the Jr.
Choir of our church and for some
reason or other I am losing inter-
est in them. Should I leave them
off?
Ans: Yes, do for the summer
months at least, You have given
entirely too much Of your time to
them and the work is growing a
bit nerve racking. Get someone to
relieve you and after few months
rest you wish to take them over
again, then do so.

GODS NIGHT
BIBLE
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

The evening stars have always
been an open Bible to every
thoughtful man. Ages ago the
Psalmist exclaimed: when I con-
slider thy heavens, the work of thy
fingers, the moon and the stars"
Look up tonight into the glory of
the evening sky. There you will
catch a partial view of this vast
universe of which you and I are
such most insignificant parts.
Gaze for a moment or two at the
twinkling stars in that dark dome
high above you. Those distant
stars are golden letters which
form the words through which
God is speaking to your mind. AS
you gaze upon the stars with a
receptive mind God will through
them impress upon you His
thought.
The stars are Gods night Bible.
Observe how silently, how un-
hurriedly, yet how accurately and
how unerring those vast distant
bodies Of light keep in their places.
Year after year, and century after
century they continue on their
courses, without confusion, with
out perplexity, without distress,
without anxiety, without fear.
But we, small insignificant parts
of creation, with a life span of
only few earth years, burden our
consciousness every day with all
such mental distresses.
In careful reading of Gods
night Bible we will catch a vision
of the vastness of creation, of the

In such a reading there also
comes to our minds an assurance
that He who controls the universe,
is well able by might and wisdom
to direct our lives if and when we
are willing to yield our wills into
His will.

Mr.. Morley has been severely crit
icized recently for allowing the
heroine of his latest novel to think
ungrammatically. In the T -s

with an article, Broken English"
His contention is that we all think
in entirely different terms than we

that his girl would have lost much
of her force had her thoughts been
written by him in impeccable Eng
lish.
There is no indication in Mr..
Morley's article if, in the movie
version of his novel, his heroine,
Kitty Foyle, who will be played by
Ginger Rogers, will think ungram-
matically or not. Even with the
