That, how: ever. could net be foretold. Protection of his human cargo was the firet thought of the captain and he acted with the wipdem that such an offieial is syppesed te disnlay even on se exeiting an occasion. It was far preferable to make needless preparations and obtain safety than that thera should be chances taken and a deplorable less of life result, And it was at that time that the ra- dio was once more breught inte mest valyable use. Bignals might have been answered In time byt with the radie it was passible to speak with those in 3 position to give aM, ta tell what the troyble was and to get an immediate and gratitying response, It wag also passible to know that these whe could help had been reached and were re- aponding, The excelient combination of coel | headedness in diyegting both the nmv efforts and the fire fighting work and the valuasble wireless was clearty dis- closed. It was & had situstion excep- tiona]ly well handled. e e LILOYD GEORGE'S RESIGNATION, Just what he was credited with say- ing he would do, if the Chamberlain plan for reaching an understanding he- tween two of the factions of the British coalition gowernment failed, has been done by Premler Lloyd George. Right on the heels af the apnouncement of the refysal to stand by the coalition by the unionists came the resigmation of the premier and the cabinet. This of coyrse means & change In the government and an end of the coalition, after a period of service that has heen filld with blg problems and responsibil- ities. Lieyd Geerge has weathered many storms but the oppesition had grown to the point where he was not long able to check it, The shewdewn was sufficient and the resignation came as was to be expacted, The coalition govcrmment, the resuit of a recognition of the fact that the Wwar problems called for the parties standing together for the welfare of the empire quite the same as it was mecr esgary for the aliled grmies to come under one head, has wrestled with big and perplexing domestic and foreiga problems., With the war over It was a question how long it could be held te- gether. There have been defections that have been getting in thelr work and regardiess of the excellent services that Lloyd George has rendered in behalf of his country. The handwriting on the wall was seen in the meeting which Aysten Chamherlain was unsble to wia to his side. There was no longer any need for delay and cabinet comstruction and election activities will frem now on feature British efforts, Lloyd George's term canmot close, howeyer, without preper recognition per ing given for the magnificent manney in many erises.

If the Turks are true te their religion it is to be sup- posed that they will take to prohibition 83 3 duek would to water, but when t comes to enforcing it among others it will be & case where little attention is Mkely te be given to any complaints that persemal liberty is being denied. ‘When it comes to law enforcement, or the emforcement of such require- meénts as the Turk puts forth, it is well understood that he leans to severity ra- ther tham to lemlency. Thus when it is declared that punishment for violation of prohibitien will be 49 lashes, three months imprissement or a fine of from 60 to 300 Turkish pounds the purpose ism't te emecurage violations. It is te be hoved that such enforce- mest as the Turks will insist upen wijl Dot be the leophoie through which many other misdeeds will be committed. And vet whatever the staze of wetness in eaciern Thraee in the past few years it seeres probable that it is destined to un- dergo a radical change, and a change that will be watched from many quar- ters. even though the fact that the Turks are prohibitionists doesn't neces- sarily make the friends of prohibition any happler (o thimk they are stand- ing shomider to shewldsr with such peopic in 3 common chuse, to he machinery and the reasonabie lim- t can be placed in regard to the speed such powsrful machines can make, those inging | ter which annthilating any that the Turks are to occupy eastern Thrace for reasons other than the treatment that will be accorded to the located will the return of Mohammedanism, It ‘| Geserved compiiment, primary eause of accidents and for that reason more than 75 per cept of them can be avoided. That being recognized it ought not to require mueh personal versuasion to bring about am imeregse of that important facte?. It is folly to loek upen the fight that fad. Certainly there is gemething more at stake when we stop to comsider the appaling list of aetidents and fatalities and when we wtop to consider that - vestigations show that three-quarters of them could be prewented. It is & mat- not only deserves more thought than it gets but it iy entitled to get greater consideration at all times., Carelessness is a bad master and the farther we can keep from it the better for all concerned.

In the long iist of his attainments for 50 dramatic compositions and some larger works that held high piace, his “Te Deum" and *Jubflate” in 1694 were the first works of the kind ever sttempted in Bngland. Great 8s .they were, they did not bring him the same popular repytation as that resulting from the odes and marehes. He seemed to have been a sort of early-day com- bination of Sousa and George M. Cohan. Following his death in 1695 many elubs were named for him one of the most notable being the famous London organization, IN THE PUBLIC EYE Viscount Halifax, who once more is ui' Ln;cg regmnn‘&t u:; Roman fi::; olie urch wi e Estap Church of England, has devoted the and Irish in particylar, had a lively| greater part of his long life to the part in precipitating the revelution of | furtherance of the movement, whieh 1688. Army sang the song and the chnnl- clers of the time appraised it in this wise: “Nexer in the werld has a tmng so slight had such a vast infly- ence.” Such was a high light in the career of ene of the most notable of the English musicians, Born at West: minster ip 1658, apd himself ol Irish parentage, he was placed % his father as a chorister in the Royal Chapel where the father held a place, as well as being a singer in Westmin- ster Abbey. The Puritans had killed music in the realm. Musical instruments in churches were regarded as profane and the Cromwell Feoare had sold the pipes of the last organ in the abbey to buy ale. The Restitution changed all of this. The old form and cere- mony of the Church returned angd with it music, and with the music came Purcell, Like his companions in the Hall of Musica] Fame over the water, his start was early, At 9 he had com- posed a three-part song and at 11 he wrote the verses for the address to the King and Queen on the anniver- sary in 1670 of the King's birth. It was about the same time that he com- posed the music for “Macbath.’ As befell mest of his taleat in the days when clerkly skill was not ecom- mon, he was given the place of copy- ist at Westminster Abbey when he attained the age of 18, and it wag in the same year he wrote the music for three plays: Shadwell's “Epsom Wells,” “Dryden's ‘“Aurenge-Zebe” and Shadwell's "Libertine.” Then it was that he left the copy- ist's job to satisfy the theatrical de- mand, and we get an interesting light on the times, with some trimmings, in the statement. that the musician must needs “hang between the chureh and the theatre like Mahemet's coffin, sus- pended between two lpdestones.” Ang the change also showed that “the small churches were then empty and only the cathedral was filled, where 50 people went to hear the music te one who went for the serv- ice.” Purcell, a remarkably handsome and agreeable man, interluded a personal matter at the time by marrying a woman named Frances, who made his life a burden te the hest of her active ability. He himself was quite alive to the bad practices of the time ana it will amuse our modern “grafters” to read the charges that he sold seats near the organ in Westminster Abbey where spectators might observe well, and pocketed the change. Dryden, the poet, was his firm friend, GREATLY NOVELTIES. ‘310 MAIN STREET WOMEN'S PUMPS AND OXFORDS FOR SUBURBAN DAY THERE ARE MANY SMART STYLES IN PATENT AND GRAY SPORT OXFORDS, AND ALSO COLON- IAL, WISHBONE, AND ONE AND TWO-STRAP WE WILL GIVE A DISCOUNT OF 10 PER CENT, ON ALL GOOODS PURCHASED ON SUBURBAN DAY.
