Many of the most haunting poems In the English language were thus horn of water; witness Shelley’s “Cloud," By rons “Ocean," Arnold s “Dover Beach." and Tennyson's "Break, Bieak, Break," “The Brook." and “Crossing the Bar." not to mention “The Passing of Arthur, whose closing scene, in which the barge glides slowly over the water, makes an ethereal ending, a spiritual (Umax, Ideal ly fitting for sn Ideal King. . . . The plenary inspiration of the Water spirit is almost as unmistakable In sin gle words of every language, as ety mologists long ago discovered. Minne haha, Shenandoah. Oscawann, Musketa <iwlt, Thalatta. Weiden-Bach, or our own word brook, could never have been the names of rocks or mountains. Even more striking th.in the water-conferred music and limpidity of single words are the poetic clarity and beauty of almost ever figure of speech In which water is the hssfs of the simile. The Bible Is esepclally rich in tropes from this source • “Thy Judgments are a great deep," and sang David; and again, “All Thy waves are gone over me," and “All my springs are In Thee.” Nearly all toe poets nnd prophets of the Old Testament felt and made use of this poetic and spiritual quality of wa ter, nnd the New Testament, In a heightened degree, continues in the say ings of Christ, and his followers, the the beautiful imagery which it inspired.

Opposed to Teaching of Sex Hygiene In the August, Woman’, Home Companion a Texas schoo'. teacher writes a letetr in which she explains In part, as follows, why ahe is op posed to the teaching of sex hygiene in the public schools: “IT a child should come to me with a question I would answer him frank ly, hut not before a class of mixed ■tudents. Instruction in sex hygiene should come from the parent, or from some mature friend. ‘‘While I am sure f hold the love anil confidence of some of my pupils, I am not sure I hold the confidence of all to the extent that they would appreciate my discussing delicate subjects with them. I would not re fuse a child Information, but It would he given in confidence, and by no means do I regard it my business to Inform all my pupils in sex hygiene ” THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. HEIRESS SAYS MARRIAGE TO POLICEMAN ILLEGAL • MISS GIULIA MOROSINf. New York.—Since told by her at' >ney on his return from Rome that the divorce of her traffic-policeman husband from his first wife was illegal and for that reason his nt arriage to her was likewise illegal, Mrs. Giulia Morosini Werner has dropped the Werner from her name, changed the Mrs. to Miss and quit worrying about separation proceed ings. The heiress cast off her cave-man husband several weeks ago and since that time Elmhurst, her Riverside estate. has beep guarded by Burns detectives. . Werner had filed suit for *25,000 against the woman, charging that she "wrongfully and fo.cibly took” from him clothing, horses, furniture, check books and so on. These things Miss Morosini says are hers and never belonged to Werner at all. Alleged Julian Zachry Struck Former Wife, Wrenched Child From Her and Fled From Hotel Attorney C. E.

Zachry vs. Julian J. Zachry, In which the di vorced mother asks for the permanent custody of Frances, one of the chi! • dren; that she not be required by the court to deliver even temporarily the possession of the child to Its father.

It further al leges that on the 25th of May, 1914, Ihe mother gave the child to the father to remain until June 25th; that on June 25th the father failed to re turn the child to Its mother and thus violated the court's order, and kept it until July sth; that on July 20th the father called at the home of his di vorced wife in Atlanta and asked for Frances, saying that he wanted to carry her to the business center of tfce city for the purpose of buying some clothes for her; that he did so and that the mother followed, fearing th it the father might carry out a threat made over the phone the night before, that he Intended to take the child away with him.

How to Remove Fruit Stains In the “Exchange" department of the Womans' Home Companion—a de partment devoted to household sug gestions made by contributors out of tbelr practical experience—appear the following euggestions as to the best ways of removing fruit stains The first ta contributed by a New York woman and the second by an lowa woman: "Whenever I find a fruit stain on tablecloths or napkins. I wet It with a little camphor. If this is done before the stain has been wet with water the stain will entirely disappear when the articles are laundered. "To remove fruit stains from table linen easily and surely, simply mois ten the stain with pure glycerin before sending clothes to the laundry. Twen ty-five cents' worth of glycerin will probably last the ordinary family a year or more, at least." Ministers would mset with more suc cess If they knew as much about this world ss they think they know about the next. Prepare to Assemble Great International Fleet and Dispatch Through Panama\ Canal to Panama-Pacific Exposition Washington.—As a result of a con ference between the secretaries of state, war and navy, a tentative pro gram has been prpared for th as semblage In Hampton Roads and dis patch to San Francisco by way of tho Panama Canal for the great interna tional fleet w'hich has been lnvalted ty # act of congress to participate in the celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal and the opening of tho Panama-Pacific International Ex position. Copies of this program nave just been completed and dispatched to the various powers for presentation to the governments to which they are accredited. Subject to slight changes, this is the official program: February 10-15. 1015—Foreign ships rendezvous at Hampton oßads. February 20—The president will pro ceed to Hampton Roads and there review the combined fleet, after which the fleet will proceed to the Isthmus of Panama. March s—The president, on a battle ship will depart for the Panama Canal. March 10—The president arrives at Colon. March 12—The president and fleet pass through the canal. March 13—Ceremonies at Balboa or Panama. March 13 —The president sails for San Francisco on a battleship. March 14—The fleet leaves Balboa, proceeding to San Francisco. * March 23—The president arrives at San Francisco. Invitation. The original invitations to the maritime powers to send vessels to participate in these great events —the opening of the Panama Canal and the Sar. Francisco exposition—were sent in September last. So far, favorable responses have been received from twelve countries, viz: Argentine Re public, Austria-Hungary, Cuba, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Spain. It is certain that this does not by any means represent the total number of naval participants for it is known that other governments are simply awaiting the further develop ment of plans for these celebrations to signify their intention to participate. J heir decision will be hastened oy another circular note which the state department has just dispatched to American embassies and legations abroad. This circular asks for a reply to three questions; first, the number of ships which the country will send; second, their size, and third, their steaming radius. Much depends upon the answers to these questions. Re garding the first, it is neither expected nor desired that there shall he a wholesale gathering of the navies of the world in Hampton Roads. The idea i., expected that the greater naval powers will be more numerously rep resented than teh smaller states Italy already has unofficially signifies an intention to send a complete squadron of three fine cruisers under command of an admiral, and it may he that this offer will mark the proportion of rep resentation of the other navies. The speed requirements of the long cruise from Hampton Roads to the Golden Gate will be rother severe, so much so, indeed as to bar from participa tion in the great voyage any of me little gunboats which form the only strength of some *f the small states In Pair*. The second question relating to the size of the vessels is important as in dicating the possibility of passing them in pairs or even triplets through the great locks of the Panama Canal and thereby saving valuable time. Alsi H w-11l assist the naval commander of the international fleet in arranging'nls itinerary by informing him of the THEN AND NOW One hundred and twenty-four years ago today George Washington signed the Congressional Act which established the United States Reve nue Cutter Service. It thus became the first maritime force of the American Republic. Fifteen months later there were ten revenue cutters afloat, officered by veterans of the old Continental Navy. These vessels constituted the only armed force afloat belonging to the United States for the following 6 years. Their duties were to patrol the coast, extending in those days from Maine to Georgia, to prevent smuggling, and to enforce the few maritime laws ex isting in the United States. Organized under the Treasury Department, it remained in the discretion of the President to send them to war under the Navy. Fighting French privateers in 1798, the revenue cutters captured eighteen of the twenty-two prizes taken by the United States. In tne war of 1812 they captured the first prize ship, and fought gallantly throughout the war. They fought in the Mexican War; one of the cutters accompanied the naval expedition against Paraguay in 1858. During the Civil War. they fought with the Navy and helped to maintain the blockade of Southern ports. In the Spanish- Amerlcan War, a revenue cutter ac companied Dewey into Manila Bay, while the crew of another won Con gressional medals for its spectacular rescue of Ensign Bagley s helpless tor pedo boat at Cardenas, Cuba. 17 Perfect Babies Out of 100,- 000 The Woman's Home Companion has been conducting a series of Better Babies contest throughout the United States. Over 100,000 babies have been examined and scored by physi cians using ttvs standard score-card. In its August issue the Woman's Home Companion prints pictures of 17 tables in v«nou« pari tn» United States, who have scored per fect when judged by the r gld tests of the Better Bal-tes standard acore card. These children represent the Ilea l Web ever ->i c would like to realize, and yet the Better Babies Bureau does not con cider the finding of this group of per fect babies Its highest achievement. The work of which the Better Babies Bureau la moat proud ia that of help ing the mothers of babies who are not nsrlect. to correct all possible de fects in physical development, diet and general care, and lo give their hab es a better opportunity to grow up into strong and healthy men anil women. TUESDAY. AUGUST 4. probability of the units to meet heavy weather conditions. No less important is the third ques tion relating to tho coal endurance us the vessels: the navy department must be advised of the maximum distance wnich each ship can make with full bunkers of coal in order to plan for fresh supplies at the proper point. It is believed that if the navies repre sented comprise only modern large sized ships, it will be possible to mako the run of 1,900 miles from Hampton Roads to Colon without stop. In the canal fresh supplies of coal will be taken, hut even then it may impose a severe strain upon the small vessels to make the run from Balboa to San Francisco, 2,189 miles, and some of them may be obliged to put in for coal at Pichilinque. the American coal ing station in Lower California, or to take fuel from colliers in Magdalena Pay on the west coast of Mexico. Some of the naval vesels of even the larger European powers are very de ficient, according to American stand ards, in this matter of coal endur ance. principally because they were designed for home defense and short cruises. Floating Ice. Because floating ice in Chesapeake Bay some times makes it impossible for days at a time to take on coal and othe.- supplies, and in order to guard ..gainst delay in the execution of the short and crowded program, the for eign naval vessels have ben requested Lc assemble several days at least n advance of the date of Fbruary 10V ranticned in the memorandum. Their’ commanding officers with their staffs will be the guests of the United States government as will he the special naval representatives invited to at tend. The presence of the latter will relieve the diplomatic body in Wash ington from th obligation to be pres ent at Hampton Roads, which is for tunate in view of the fact that they are expected to attend the opening ceremonies of the Panama-Pacific Ex pociton at San Francisco, now fixed for February 20, without possibility of postponement. The foreign naval con tingent will be brought tci Washing ton on a passenger steamer especially chartered for the purpose and their stay in the national capital will nec essarily he very short as they must he in Hampton Roads again on the anniversary of Washington’s birthday when President Wilson will review the fleet as it passes through the Chesapeake capes bound for Colon. The day after congress adjourns the president will follow the fleet on one of the great dreadnaughts now under construction and expected to be com plete about that time. It is planned to divide the interna tional fleet into four sections for the passage through the Panama Canal and as at least two of the average sized warships can be accommodated in the thousand-foot locks at one time, the entire fleet could be locked through in about two days The fjfc tures of the parade through the c ine I will be the old battleship Oregon on the bridge of which will stand Admiral Clark who commanded the ship in her famous run around South America during the Spanish-American waA also Secretary Daniels and many otherV notables and the inty launch Louise./ one of the first boats to be employed by the French canal builders and which has been by act of congress made a gift to the French government to commemorate the completion of th« canal. Very soon the officials here will take up the arrangement of a program for the exercises which are to take place at Balboa to commemorate the formal opening of the waterway, but so far no attempt has been made to outline them beyond the delivery of an appropriate address by Prsl’dent Wilson. Today forty-three armed cutters, tugs and launches, manned by 1,728 officers and enlisted men, are scour ing the seas as Uncle Sam’s ' watch dogs of the sea." The majority are stationed along the coast of the United States ready to steam where duty calls. One may be going to sea to blow up a derelict that has become dangerous to navigation; another searching a sbiip for smug gled goods or examining her sailing papers; while a third may be on the way to suppress mutiny or piracy, or to enforce neutrality laws of Ameri can ports The revenue cutter offi cer is empowered to enforce nearly every law bearing upon the mari time interests. They protect the sea! fisheries of Alaska, and patrol tll/V coast in search of vessels in during fne winter months. Under a recent regulation they patrol the trans-Atlantic lane of travel to warn all vessels of any nation of the dan ger of floating icebergs, such as the one that sank the Titantic. They enforce quarantine .regulations; they patrol the coast of* four Southern States which were suffering under an epidemic of yellow fever In 1905- They penetrated to the Arctic regions to bring succor to stranded whaling ships. It was in 1897-9 that a cutter raced through a thousand miles of ice packs to rescue whalers frozen In at Point Barrow before they starved to death.
