The announcement that actual con etruction Work has been started on the breakwaters that will enclose the harbor of refuge which it is proposed to establish inside of Cape Lookout, off the North Carolina coast, directs attention to the progress of, an under taking whose full significance is prob ably not generally appreciated, says the Norfolk Virignian-Pilot. Thi harbor of refuge is intended to be supplementary to the link of the ln lauu waterway extending lrcm Nor folk to Beaufort as a means of mini miz ng the toll of life and property exacted from shipping plying up and down the South Atlantic coast by the treacherous, shifting shoals that reach out from Cape Hatteras. "Thi ' inland waterway, furnishing as dt does an inside protected route, wil enable the smaller, lighter-draft ves sels to avoid altogether the locality which has, with good reason, been named 'TheGraveyard of -the Atlan-, tic;' while the proposed harbor of refuge will provide sheltered .asylum for larger ships which, coming up the coast, may find themselves in storm : i stress m the neithhoniood oi Hatteras. The refuge, when complet tu, win he deep enough to accommo date he biggest ocean-going craft and large enough to provide anchor age for twenty ships at one time. It will be a mile square, and the. cost of building the breakwaters and protect ing the entrance channel is expected ito aggregate upwards of three and a half million dollars. That the money will constitute a paying investment, whether regarded from the economic or the humanitarian standpoint, ad mits of neither argument nor doubt. The records show that during the last ten years alone, the property values destroyed off Hatteras have amounted to two and a half million dollars, to say nothing of the 131 lives lost, the value, of which is, of course, above and beyond any estimation in terms of dollars and cents." It is a pity that this great work is not also going to furnish North Caro lina a gateway to the sea', opening to the state the commerce of the world and at the same time putting money into every man's pocket by providing the strategic advantage of a "rate basing port." It is the nearest practicable po nt to the center of the state from north to south. An im portant railway system extends to within a few miles of the spot at present an excellent fishing ground for flounders, but not otherwise spe cifically remarkable where it will be possible for a good -si zed navy to lie in safety. But we suppose the harbor of refuge is to be a harbor of refuge only that, and nothing more; or we should be hearing more noise about it. Greensboro News. Concerning Grammar. The Danville Register rises In its 4lace with solemn m'en and shaking its finger accusingly at three of its contemporaries proceeds to. deliver lecture on newspaper grammar. It hales to the bar of justice the Birmingham-Age Herald, the Richmond News-Leader and the Richmond (Evening Journal and demands of them to show cause why they should nto be summarily penalized for the mtaur.e of Ihe objective "whom" for the nominative "who," and for one misure of the nominative when the objective "hom" should have been used. The Instances cited are of the familiar type in which the error is clearly apparent the moment the sentence is carefully inspected, though the inaccuracy is likely to be overlooked in a hasty reading. 'There are many sentences in which the jou -taposition of words seems to demand cases and numbers which are in fact not correct. In being thus critical the Register performs a useful of fice, for It makes for punctiliousness and correctness to know that details are critically noted. If the truth were known, the t J1" rUM blcs institution that it is. would probablf stand forth as the indirect cause o' many nnch slips. One's fingers ilit oyer the keys with an allurinu swiftness that d stracts attention from the details of composition. In the days when each letter had to be laboriously formed with the fingers there was concentration on execution and the mind was keenly advertent, to the form of each word. Armed with a typewriter, there is a tempta tion lo think not In words but in fbmes and la whole sentences. But a'though It is the lauaaoie am- , bltlon cf every periodical to be flaw less and' perfect In every detail . popular so!p frequently to the con trary notwithstanding the tact re-1 R. P. Schwerin On the Seamen's Bill. The American plowmen are Interested in sea com merce. It is expensive and likewise humiliating to have to salute a foreign flag every, time a farmer wants to ship a bushel of wheat, a. bale of cotton or a pound of farm products across the ocean. The American farmer is en titled to the protection of his flag in sending his products across the sea, and, Congress should give such encourage ment to shipping interests as is necessary to meet foreign competition in ocean commerce. A recent bill known as the Seaman's Bill became a law under the President's signature and Mr. R. P. Schwerin, vice-president of the Pacific MaiL Steamship Company, when asked to define this law and outline its effect upon 'American steamship lines, said in part: "The bill provides that no 6hip of any nationality 'shall be permitted' to depart from any port of the United States unless she has on board a crew not less than seventy-five per centum of which, in each department thereof, is able to understand any order given by the officers of such vessel, nor unless forty per centum in the first year, forty-five per centum in the second year, fifty per centum in the third year, fifty-five per centum in the fourth year after the passage of this Act, and, thereafter sixty -five per centum of her deck crew, exclusive of licensed oflicers and apprentices, are of a rating not less than able seamen.' - ,"The oversea trade of the world Is competitive, therefore the original cost of the ship and the operation of the ship have to be reckoned with in the keen competition of these rival nations with one another. The Oriental sailor is obedient and competent and is the cheapest sailor in the world. It is therefore manifestly clear that if this law applied to all nationalities In the transpacific traffic, all would be on the same economic basis, but it works a single hardship to all the ships of the world, except the Japanese and American sh ds. and with the latter It worKS two narusnirs. wun me Euronean. the cost of constructing a ship is no higher than the cost of con structing a Japanese ship, but if they had to provide European crews, while the Japanese operated with Japanese crews, the condition of competition would be such that t.ey could not overcome the handicap and they would be driven off. But the American ship would have to contend uot only with the tremendous increase of cost of wage in the substitution of the European crew fnr th Chinese crew, but also the greater initial cost of the ship. As the Japanese have now, done away with their European oflicers and Japanese crews, all of whom speak a common language, there is no difficulty for them to comply with all the conditions of the bill and continue, their Japanese crews, with Oriental wages. - I "The law, therefore, instead of assisting the American ship, adds . another iiPiivr hnrden. while it. nlace3 none whatever upon tne Japanese snip, dui, on the contrary, turns over to the Japanese the traffic of the Pacific Ocean, which the American ship is forced to forego by act oi congress oi me United' States." ! ma ns that if one wi re to realize this ideal it would occupy a pinnacle uu- approached. No one but- a reporter knows how often public speakers of reputed - erudition" and " wide roputa ;ion begin sentences which they never "nd and end sentences which they never begin. Stenographic reports, if ptibl shed would show disagreements in case and number that would bo sufficient to cause "A Grammarian s Funeral." And when we consider fhe fact that a newspaper writer must often analyse a case and de liver In less than an hour an opinion which the supreme, court of the Untied States would refuse to render in less than a year, and that in a major ty of instances he plumbs tin; line of straight thinking with inci sive accurcay, it will ue seen mat the standard of newspaper work in gen eral need fear comparison with no other branch of effort.

Police Comruis- snncr Woods and the local telephone company have just cooked up a bril liant little scheme to net criminals woh get away from the scene of the!" who get away from the scene of their lppoarance is known a few minutes ifler the crime is committed. To show how the system will work. take the case of the recent murder of ii wealthy Flatbush woman. She was beaten to death by a man servant who stole her jewelry and left the house with two packages. A few seconds later a woman friend of the victim, on her way to the house, noticed the es caping murderer but did not guess his frightful deed. Upon the arrival at her friend's home she found the dead body and a few seconds later all the facts, with a full description of the fugitive were in the bands of the police. Now, under the new system, the polite would immediately give the de scription to the telephone company and the tetlephone company would do the rest. Through its wonderful net work -of lines it would notify every chief of police, sheriff, constable and railroad station agent within a radius of 100 miles of the point where the crime was committed. The fleeing murderer would not dare to'board a trolley car or an ele vated train, he would fear to use the Subway or the steam railroads for everywhere he would know exact de tails of his looks and clothes had gone before him. He- could only lurk near the scene of the crime or get as far away as his legs could carry him. He might use a horse or automobile, but he would not dare to cross a ferry or an im portant bridge. He would have to hide in the neighborhood of his crime and here the people would be inter ested in the case and undoubtedly sus pect him. As it turned out in the Flatbush murder, the police without the co-op- ) SKYSCRAPER JAIL FOR WOMEN. Father Knickerbocker is interested in hearing that. Uncle Sam is going in for skyscraper postofllces to - save money. Father Knick owns several fine, tall buildings and believes in them. He is just about to erect an other, a sixteen story building in West Thirtieth street, which will be a combination "de luxe" jail for wo men and court house. From a distance the new jail will be a thing of beauty. The architect's sketch shows its graceful lines in the Renaissance style, while the facade will be or brick, limestone and terra cotta. The jail will be in the upper part of the building, and the court rooms will occupy the second and third floors. There is to be a chapel on the fif teenth floor and a hospital w'ard and kitchen on the top floor. Every flooi from the sixth to the fourteenth will have an open air loggia. There will be two dining rooms. The cost is $3G5,000. SUNDAY "DEAD" IN NEW YORK NOW ALL YEAR AROUND. A leading hotel man informs me' that Sunday from the best has grown to be the worst day in the week: for the big New York hostetlries. This is true not only in the summer, but throughout the year. "There are at least three causes," he said. "First, the automobiles; sec ond, the spread of the notion that one end of the week should be for play for all except idiots; and third, the love of golf. "In the old days business travelers loafed around the hotel Sundays, not CURED OF PELLAGRA; WOMAN IS SO HAPPY Ratliff, Miss Ida Creel, of this place, writes: "I am enjoying fine health, better than I have in years.
