MOTOR BOAT REAL, CHURCH Gospel Ship on Puget Sound of Great Comfort to People In Ro. mote Regions; Of the 19 counties of western Wash Ington 18 are accessible to seagoing vessels, according to Agnes Lockhart Hughes, in Everybody's. Hence the Robert 0. Seymour, a floating church, operated on Puget sound by Rev. WiI-. bert R. Howell and his wife. During the four years that the Rob ert G. Seymour has been In operation it has traveled on an average of 3,000 miles a year, carrying religion to Is land county and up Hood canal. It regularly visits 11 ports and as many logging coips, bringing - religion to those who cannot seek it. The boat is gone often for a month at a time, and often has weathered some of the toughest gales ever experienced on the sound. Not infrequently, after a sermon delivered aboard the gospel ship, or on shore, some woman will come forward with a question on her ips regarding what lies near her heart relative to the latest style in dresses or hats, and always an an swer is forthcomi'ng-for the good pilot never omits to include fashion books among his hymnnals. One woman acknowledged that a ser mon preached recently by the captain of the Gospel boat was the first she had heard in a tdozen years. She was the mother of nine children and had had no opportunity previously of hear Ing a church service. MADE OVER FOR BOOKLOVERS New York Has Substitute for Saloon, Where Literature and Soft Drinks Are Sold. A new idea in the way of a substi tute for the saloon is to be tried out in the Booklovers' tavern, recently opened in New York, the Philadelphia Inquirer states. This is simply a place with the familiar bar and brass rail, where soft drinks and literature are to be dispensed together. Thus the men tal exhilaration to be derived from the latest novel will satisfy those ac custoned to the cocktail and give gin ger ale or ice cream soda a fillip it has not hitherto had. The Booklovers' tavern may draw book purchasers, though its superiority to the ordinary bookshop is not ap parent. But can it be expected that thirsts vill be assuaged in this way? And will those who seek inebriation between covers be able to pay the price? A Kipling highball or a Wells fizz at $1.75 is considerably more than the purchasers of alcoholic beverages have been charged under wartime prohibition. It is obvious,.too, that the kind of literature dispensed over the bar will have to be very carefully guarded. Many of our poets were a roistering lot, -who di.d not hesitate to celebrate the charms of the Demon Rum. Aviators' Qualifications. In England airmen were npt to be ardent hunters of the fox and to have what horsemen call "hands"-a quality which as aviators enabled theta to know instinctively, as it were, what an airplane was going to do before it dId it. And, what will be shocking to some folk, to keep the aviator in best condition for- his wvork and for endiurlng its terrible stresses, he seem ed, according to these authoritIes, to needl "a really rIotous ev'ening at least once or twice a month." The older mena were found to use alcohol freely, but the younger- ones requlred no such stimulaints, and they nil avoid ed excess, being well awvare that for thmem the penalty w~as sudden (leath. Marriage deteriorated the aviator by i-easing his sense of personal re sponsibility for others. Courage he had, of course, and a touch of reck lessness is not undesirable fr-om the standpoint of achievemient in war. Exchange. Senator Wharton t. lomie. The friends of Sen. .J. HI.
