By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 4—The most mod- ! ernistic of the Rue de la Paix dress- makers this morning told a packed the past 12 months saved 6,000 lives!house what she thought about Winter and assisted $50.000,000 worth of vesscls, is celebrating the 140th anniversary of its founding today with exercises ashore and afloat wherever its forces are assembled. “Rear Admiral F. C. Billard, com- mandant of the service, is participating in the outstanding celebration which is to be held at Buffalo, N. Y. The other major observance will be staged styles, saying that she is convinced women do not want to wear longer skirts on the street. Suits, coats and ensembles for gen- eral wear at her house are still at the top of the calf, 6 to 10 inches below the knee—depending on the knee.

The clothes ran to assembled vesscls will compete for the McAllister Motor Bogt Trophy and the Coast Guard Rowing Trophy. Created by an act of the First Con- {;ess which was approved by President ashington himself, the Coast Guard or the Revenue Marine, as it originaily was known, actually was the first armed force afloat of the Nation. The Reve- nue Marine subsequently became the Revenue Cutter Service and, by an act of January 28, 1915, it was united with the United States Life Saving Service and was given the designation it bears today. In war time, the Ccast Guard is an tmportant unit of national defense and in peace it devotes ils energies to saving life and property from the perils of the sea. In this latter work the Coast Guard established a new record during the past year by saving over 6,000 per- sons and by aiding vessels valued at $50,000,000. Besides its work of actual life and ship saving, the Coast Guard, with its personnel of 12,000 officers and men, performs numerous other tasks leading to its primary purpose. Derelicts are removed from ship lanes; icebergs are reported, and, whenever possible, are blown up; seal herds in the North Pacific and the Bering Sea are guarded against poachers, and smugglers are combated. It is under this latter head that falls the Coast Guard's work in prohibition enforcement. Less impor- tant is the service'’s work in patroling marine regattas. ‘The Coast Guard also enforces the motor boat laws. It furnishes medical aid to deep-sea fishermen and helps locate schools of fish. The progress of airplanes is checked by the Coast Guard through its 2,650 miles of coastal communication system which connects all its stations and a great number of lighthouses, naval radio-compass sta- tions and Weather Bureau stations in & contact stream that bands the stra- coast section of the United States. all its activities, the Coast Guard endeavors to abide by its historic motto, “Semper Paratus’—“Always Ready.” TWO KILLED, 13 HURT * IN WRECK OF TRAIN Derailment of Passenger Cars Near Vernon, Tex., Caused by Disrupted Track.
