EXPERTLY handling their land
ing craft, coast guardsmen bring a
barge loaded with soldiers to shore
through the treacherous surf of the
South Pacific. This boat was
swamped, but the crew managed to
land the troops entrusted to their
care.
during the coming years, fears of
a war with England caused anxious
naval authorities to survey our
naval strength, additional cutters
were authorized and built, all of
which served with distinction in the
War of 1872.
The Civil war wrought havoc with
the revenue cutter service, although
all its vessels fought on the side of
the Union. Trained crews and Of
ficers, torn between divided loyal
ties, left the service to join their
respective sides. To fill the places
of these men, having decades of
service and experience, relaxed
standards made possible the admis-
sion of some unfit, morally and men
tally, and soon after the war a COM
plete reorganization of the service
was necessary. And this reorgani-
cation was thorough.
New ships were constructed and
in 1876 an academy was established
to train officers. Although at first
the academy was merely barken-
tine, 1.-THE Dobbin," anchored off
New Bedford and later the "Chase"
at Baltimore, no move did more to
establish the esprit de corps" of
the coast guard, retain and pass on
its traditions and raise the service
to the high standards of unity that
it has achieved today. The present
coast guard academy at New Lon
don, Conn, compares favorably
with Annapolis and West Point.
Police Duty in Alaska.
Meanwhile the service was en-
trusted with new duties, while its
old functions were enlarged with the
growth of the nation. The acquisi-
ton of Alaska was an important
event for the coast guard, for to it
was given the obligation of enforc-
ing law and order in the territory
When the Japs invaded the Aleu-
tan Islands, the decades of expert
ence of the coast guard in the wild
unpredictablc waters of the Arctic
is bearing fruit.
In 1915 the coast guard was merged
with the. life saving service and for
the first time the name coast
GUARD" was officially recognized.
The merger of these two units was
a logical development, for the cutter
and life saving units were both
branches of the treasury department
and had operated closely for many
years. The lighthouse division was
not made an official member of the
coast guard family" until 1899.
World War l found the coast
guard, as usual, ready for anything.
A terse presidential message plan

ferred the coast guard ships and
personnel into the navy for the dura-
ton. Coast guard officers were
assigned to duty at naval stations
and on naval ships throughout the
world with many being given COM
mand posts. The cutters as usual

were placed in convoy and escort
service.
The period following the Armistice
saw the construction of the modern
coast guard fleet. New Diesel and
steam cutters were designed and
built. Smaller, fast, patrol boats
were developed. New equipment
was installed on shore stations. Air
power was made a vital part Of the
coast guard with the construction of
bases on the Atlantic and Pacific.
A fleet of planes of the newest de-
sign were assigned to the service
and so coast guard aviation, long a
cherished dream, was a reality.
When the country thinks of coast
guard law enforcement, it usually
associates it with Prohibition. AL
though the coast guard was given
the unpopular job of enforcing that
unfortunate act it managed to make
the best of it. In fact through Pro-
hibition the coast guard developed
a valuable intelligence unit which
today serves the cause of national
defense as part of the naval intelli-
gence. But prohibition was only one
of the law-enforcing jobs of the
versatile coast guard. The Mar
cotics, Oil Pollution, Whaling and
Alien Smuggling are just a few of
the marine laws enforced by the ma
tons maritime police force.
But greatest of all the hundred
fifty-four years of the coast guard
history has been this great global
war that will rid the world of tyr

Service Originated
As Arm of Treasury
To Check Smuggling

Soon after he took over direc-
ton of the treasury in George
Washington's cabinet, Alexander
Hamilton discovered that the
government was losing lot of
Sorely needed revenue because
of the brisk smuggling that was
going on along the coast. Ac-
cordingly, he told the President
that something would have to
be done. Washington brought
the matter to the attention of
congress, and that body, acting
with remarkable celebrity, pro-
vided funds for the establish
ment of the Revenue Cutter
Service. So it was that on August
4, 1870, the U. S. coast guard
was born. The service is cele-
brating it's 154th anniversary
this year. 1t has the longest rec
ord of all the nations sea forces,
having taken part in every war
since the Revolution.
From post Revolutionary days
when it operated a handful of tiny
49-foot cutters concentrating on the
collection of import duties for the
infant republic, the coast guard has
expanded in scope of its activities
and in size until today it has more
than 100000 officers and enlisted
men, and is fighting the Axis all
over the world.
Actually, the Tariff Act of 1890
merely authorized the building of
six revenue cutters to insure the
collection of customs. But our
founding fathers realized that this
little fleet might prove valuable as
defense unit. So it was decided to
organize the men and ships on a
military basis. President Washing
ton commissioned Hopley Heaton of
New Hampshire 'to command cut
ter in the service of the United
States"
One hundred and fifty-four years
later coast guard vessels are operat-
ing as part of the navy, sweeping
the seas of enemy subs, and coast
guard landing craft are spear-head-
ing invasions, putting marines
ashore in the South Pacific and the
army in France The coast guard
has fulfilled the fondest hopes of its
founders.
But the military usefulness of the
coast guard, which has reached
peak in this war, was apparent soon
after its organization. In 1897,
American ships bound for England
were seized and boarded by priva-
teering French vessels, operating
with tacit blessing of the Revolution
airy government of France.
Fought French Privateers.
When in 1899, the U. S. navy was
finally organized and now ships were
sent out TO aid the cutters in their
battle against the French. But it is
interesting to note that Of the %
ships captured, IS were taken by
the coast guard, which also assisted
in the capture of two more.
The undeclarcd war against
Franco saw the establishment of the
precedent Of transferring the coast
guard from the treasury department
to the navy in time of war. Ever
since this date, the alert, trim, fight
ing coast guard cutters and men
have joined the navy by presden-
tial proclamation on the outbreak of
hostilities.
When peace with France was re-
stored in 1901, the cutters were re-
turned to the treasury department
and in an economy measure by the
hard-pressed government several
were decommissioned. But when,

Barrow LYONS must assume re-
sponsibility.
In approaching the nutrition prob
lem the army consulted civilian au-
thorities as to how much food-how
many Galleries of a balanced diet
would provide a minimum for
health. In the early stages of liberia
ton the army does not feel that it
can undertake to provide more than
a minimum. The effort to beat enc
my forces must take precedence
over everything else, and at times
battle requirements absorb all trans
portation the army can command.
What is more, we have found food
distribution facilities badly disrupt
ed in many areas. In some sections
of Italy virtually all shopkeepers,
who were Fascists, have dis
appeared, and unframed persons had
to be found to handle distribution Of
food and supplies.
Some Difficult Problems
Nor have experienced distributors
always proved trustworthy. Food
entrusted to wholesalers by civilian
agencies has not always found its
way into normal channels of diStri-
button. In India and North Africa
much of the grain and flour sent in
was withheld from distribution by
wholesalers who profited by the hun
ger of starving peoples, until their
PRACTICES were discovered and end
ed.

Is an abundance Of long hair on
the forelegs. The beautiful face
has smooth covering OF short hair.
AS one can see, the spitz is COM
pact, showing strength and CO.
ordination. The face and head are
foxlike. The eyes express great in
telligence. The spitz is eager to
show his activity and buoyancy
at the slightest provocation. The
feet are small and compact: the
hindquarters are like those OF the
collie and should be covered with
long hair, or "feathering," from the
top of the rump to the hooks.
The spitz, though once a dog
confined strictly to white or black,
may now be of the following
colors under the Pomeranian stand
ard: Chocolate, red, orange, cream,
|orange-sable, wolf-sable, beaver,
blue, white and black. The blacks,
browns, sables and blues must be
free Of any other color.
More and more, this dog Is be-
coming favorite as q house pet.
He makes an excellent WATCHDOG
and soon learns to know strangers
from casual friends. He under
stands instantly If you like or do
not like dogs and treats you with
a great show Of friendliness or
aloofness.
The puppies are lovable and easily
trained. They are playful and enjoy
being petted.

their language. but you are dead
wrong in stating that "kuh-RIB-

ton of relatively recent origin" and
Il recommend as correst KARI

opposite IS true-no one ever heard
'KAR-i-BEE'un un" until the last few
years.
Answer-Sorry. but all the evil
denoe points the other way. My
old 'Lippincott's Gazetteer, dated
1880, shows KAR-i-BEE'un only. As
I stated in my recent article, Mer-
riam-Webster's lists kuh-RIB-ee-un
as second choice. but that pronunci-
alton does not appear at all in Funk

right. Here is a clipping that states

Answer-Youu find polygamist in
most good dictionaries: "One having
more than one spouse at . time"
While bigamy does mean literally
having two wives or husbands" it
is used in the general sense of the
word polygamy. "Trigamy" has no
sanction, to my knowledge.
