That’s the way Grace Stoner of New York City looks at it, anyway. And since Grace is the girl in question—well—she ought to know, hadn’t she? v But if you left it up to me, I’d put it a little more strongly than Grace put it. I’d say that adventure came doggone near ruining Grace. I wouldn’t say it was only her career she was in danger of losing. It seems to me she stood a mighty good chance of losing her life in that little epi sode in the harbor at Corinto, Nicaragua, in July, 1922. Maybe in mentioning her career, Grace was talking about the thing that mattered most. Grace is a dancer, and I’ve heard it said that dancers take their careers mighty seriously. But the point is that Grace risked her career, and her life, too, for that matter, because a couple of birds made a couple of sneering remarks about her sex. It Happened in Corinto Harbor. Grace was off on a cruise when it happened. The ship was anchored in Corinto harbor about a mile from shore. It was late afternoon—just before sundown—and a more peaceful picture you never saw in your life, llsere wasn't a breath of wind blowing. The sea was like glass. Off in the distance the beach was bathed in shadow and the sun was sinking behind the towering peaks of the Central American Sierras. A bunch of the young folks aboard the steamer were splashing around In the tiny improvised pool, rigged up out at wooden fra me-work and waterproof canvas on the afterdeck. There was • bunch of young Span ish students aboard, going home from the University of California to their homes in Panama and San Salvador. They made up most of tha crowd. The rest of it was Grace. In a nice cool bathing suit and with half a dates handsome young taOows around her. Grace ought to have been happy. But the canvas pool was so small you could hardly turn around in H. and Grace was casting longing eyes an the placid, tnvtuag waters of the harbor It would he swell hai she thought, le dive right off the deck and swim to sham Cirnce Wouldn't Taka a Dare And Otars what started al the MoiShts Tha boys laughed at hv.

Irving Berlin was born In Russia in 1888, the youngest of eight chil dren. His father, a cantor or psalm- singer in the village synagogue, brought the family to New York’s East Side tenement district when Irvin iff was four years old. The boy loved to sing, but his first jobs were as a newsboy, and a telegraph de livery boy. His was the depressing life of the slums child, street-fight ing, swimming in the dirty East riv er, dodging traffic in the streets at play.

The “signposts of the sea” must be kept in perfect or der. Thousands of buoys are placed around our coasts, marking the dan ger points and directing the way up river mouths and into ports, says a writer in London Answers Magazine. Scores of lighthouses warn mariners of rocks and sandbanks, and out to sea lightships are stationed where buoys and lighthouses cannot be placed. % All these seamarks are subjected to the ceaseless battering of wind and wave, and throughout the year repairs have to be carried out when weather -permits. Naturally enough, most damage is incurred during the winter, when conditions are at their worst, and when it is not uncommon for the crews of lightships and lighthouse* to be cut off from the land for a month on end. Because of gales and gigantic seas it te frequently impos sible to carry out repairs during the winter.
