Sure Relief C FOR INMGESIION BKUIANS Hot water ^SurelMef 1 PEli-ANS 254 75t MCKMSES EVERYWHERE By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HEN you read ebout President Coolldge on the "Presidential yacht" Mayflower1--and she 1* much In the press nowawaya-- what impression do you get of the vessel--provided, of course, you have never seen a picture of her and have not read a detailed description of her and do not know her history? Tour impression probably is pretty vague. You doubtless visualize a craft big enough to be safe and to make th* President and his guests comfortable. And yon, as a good American, hope it is good-looking enough to be In keeping with the dignity of the office. Well, the Mayflower is quite satisfactory In ail respects as the Presidential yacht She is not only sightly, fast, safe and commodious, but she 1s up to date In all respects. And this is as it should be, since the commander in chief of the army and navy of the United 8tate* of America--the richest and most powerful nation of earth--should go In proper style when he pot* out to sea. "Jefferaonian simplicity" was doubtless all very well la It* day, but times have changed and are change with them --or should. We get the word "yacht" from the Dutch "Jacht"--pleasure boat. The Mayflower, to be sure, was designed and built for a pleasure boat, but she Is considerably more than that. She 1* one of the "miscellaneous craft" belonging to the1 United States navy. She was bought in wartime for war purposes, has done service of many kinds and has a history. She Is the Presidential yacht became she is assigned by the Navy department to the use of th* man who occuple* th* Presidential office. f It was President Roosevelt who had the original inspiration and put It Into effect with the consent of congress. In the officers' wardroom on the Mayflower hang the autographed portraits of th* AT* Presidents who have used and enjoyed the yacht-- Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolldge. President Coolldge appears to have a special liking for the Mayflower. President Roosevelt was devoted to the "strenuous life"; he was a hunter and explorer and in the White House was fond of boxing and tennis. President Harding thoroughly enjoyed golf. President Coolldge apparently has a dash of salt water in his blood. There's nothing odd about that. It's doubtless inherited from som* old-time Yankee forbear of the days when aU New England was sea-going. And he need not feel lonesome on that account The United States Is full of such. For the Revolution--with all due respect to Gen. George Washington--was largely won on the sea by the American privateer. In the War of 1812 It was the Constitution--designed and built by American*--which beat the Mistress of the Seas at her own game and revolutionised naval warfare. It was the American clipper ship of a later period that astonished the world. It was the America that won "The Cop" and It is th* American yachtsman who hss alnce defended that cup against all the world. Every little harbor on our coast has Its yacht club--and ^eveiy freshwater lake bigger than a mill pond; evot Grand lake, 9.000 feet up in the Colorado Rockies, has Its annual race for a LIpton cup. There Is no smarter sailor than the American on all the Seven Seas, Press reports from White Court, Swampscott, Mass., the "Summer White House" of the President's vacation, have shown that the Mayflower was quite as much In use as was the mansion Itself. Of course, the President had to take his office with him and from all accotmta the Maymuch of tike time was the real snmnjffc' Whit* House. ,/ / When the President Is in the White House at Washington the Mayflower Is in such frequent OS* that It Is quite generally known as "White House No. 2,** or the "Mayflower White House" Saturdays are rare In any sort of decent weather whan the Mayflower isn't flying the President's flag and starting out for an over-Sunday trip. A roster of the President's guests would be a pretty comprehensive list of people of the hour In American political and official life. The Mayflower has been the setting of many important conferences of the Coolldge administration. There Is another side to these week-end trips <a the Mayflower. The President may take Ma office with him, but be does not leave his horn* behind. Mrs. Coolldge goes with him always--and ••ems to take equal enjoyment in the yacht and her voyages. She usually takes along friends wh* give the political conferences a wide berth. And when President and Mrs. Coolldge go aboard tbsy leave behind tbeqa none of the comforts of the Executive Mansion. When they Invite guests th*7 are assured of their comfort. It would convey ti)* wrong impression to say that the Mayflower Is a dream of luxury. Nevertheless, her appointment Is .first-class In every way. The principal roods*' on the Mayflower include these: reception ~nra>. dining room, library, smoking room. There are bed chambers for the President and his wilt snd fourteen guests. In fact, there are all the comforts of bemgk' transferred to a different setting. Musicians from the Navy band are frequently taken. That means a concert as often aB desired. The Mayflower has powerful radio equipment--which means that th* best the studios have to offer is at one's command. There is often a picture play at night. The Ma£> % flower sees many a film before Broadway do*% Every Sunday morning Chaplain R. W. Shrum conducts services--on deck if the weather Is fine; In the state dining saloon If the weather is bad. 8* at least once a week this 1825 Mayflower is reminiscent of the Mayflower of 1020. And In another way, too, is the Mayflower of 1825 suggestive *f the Mayflower of 1020. Tou will recall that th* Pilgrims before landing drew up apd signed th* "Mayflower Compact"--establishing a body politic to be governed by the will of the majority Quit* an experiment in democracy! Well, in many ways there is the same atmosphere of democracy on th* Mayflower of 1925. Everybody on board take* part In these religious Services--President aad gaasts, officers and crew. And when there Is a concert or s moving picture--why, that Is for "aQ hands" too. ry The Mayflower Is twenty-nine years old, but sh* was well built In the first place, has received good care and has been brought up to date So she's as good as she ever was--and better. . George L. Watson designed her. Be's the famous British yacht designer who brought out the Thistle In 1887 for the America's cup." She was defeated by the Volunteer In two races In September of that year. Watson's design produced in the Mayflower an appearance of grace and speed rarely found In vessels of her size. For the Mayflower is of quite considerable else. She Is 273 feet long and 36 feet beam and her displacement Is 2,690 tons. During the Harding rdtfme the Navy department converted her from a coal-burner to an oil-burner, gave her a new teak deck and made her modern In every respect Her valuation today Including appointments Is about 11,900,000. The Mayflower Is in command of Capt. Adolphua Andrews, U. S. N., who Is also senior naval aid to the President She carries a crew of 165 men. Including a detachment of Marines under command of Lieut. Edgar Allen Poe. All are picked men, from engineers to sailors, from carpenters to Filipino mess-stewards--the United States navy gaves the Mayflower the best It dh supply. Ogden Goelet, American millionaire yacbtsmsn, bought the Mayflower In 1896 upon completion at a famous Scotch shipyard. March 17, 1898, the ' Navy department bought her for $430,000 from his estate; she was needed In the Spanish-American war and the king of the Belgians was negotiating • for her. The Mayflower's flrst assignment was . that of a despatch boat In the blockage off Cuba. . In 1900 she was on duty at San Juan, Porto Rico, relieving hurricane victims. In 1902 she was, for a time, the flagship of Admiral George Dewey with the North Atlantic fleet The year 1908 saw our recognition of the independence of Panama and the diplomatic beginnings 'of the Panama canal; the Mayflower was on the scene with a naval contingent under Rear Admiral Coghlan. In July of 1900 the Mayflower returned from a European cruise and took to Portsmouth, N. H., the special envoys of Russia and Japan, who there drew up the peace terms terminating the Russo- Japanese war, through the mediation of President Roosevelt In 1907 she went on permanent duty ss the Presidential yacht and was especially in evidence In 1908 when President Roosevelt reviewed the "Great Wfilte Fleet" upon Its return from Its memorable cruise around the world. This suggests that It is the duty of the President as commander-in-chief of the navy, personally to Inspect the United States fleet during his tenure of office. It Is sn Inspiring occasion when the Mayflower, flying th£ President's flag, stands by as the long line of fighting craft steams by, tach In turn firing the Presidential salute. Tes; there Is considerable pomp and ceremony about It all. But there Is a good big patriotic thrill In It for all good Americans. And It's a fair guess that everyone of them Is pleased that the Mayflower worthily fits Into th* occasion. * Diclmm 'ttm to Hit Hmory Ball Gslne, at a Dickens memorial •ervlce, said that after 56 years the novelist Is more alive than ever. At this meeting th* services of Bertram Mats, founder of the Dickens fellowship, were eulogised. Mats edited a Dickens magazine, published Dickens in many editions and preached him at every turn, answering letters of inquiry from enthusiasts In all parts of the world. . Not long ago in Philadelphia a local "fan" led a stranger up to a picture crowded with characters from th* novels. Pointing out an obscure scrawl In a corner, he said: "I have Identified every other likeness--please tell me who this is." Such is the true Dickens devotee. To him Coppertield and Mlcawber, Pickwick snd Salrey Gamp and Oliver Twist are more real than th* flesh-and-blood of the street today.

Be also stated that In 1922 the world's production was 86,- 000,400 tons, thst the loss due to actual wearing out was 17,000.000 tons, or about 25 per cent, while the .•if*- .-soloes due to rusting was 22.000,000 tons, or 831-3 _per cent. The Department of Commerce states that the steel production of the United States for that year amounted to 46,000.000 tons, or 70 per cent of the world's production, which had a value of *3,000,000,000. With this data it appears that the rust bill of the woild approximates 50 per cent of the steel products manufactured In - r- " the United States, and that the world's loss from rusting is in the neighborhood of $1,500,000,000--The Thrift Anunots Yoa Can*t 'fame AU efTorts of man have fulled' to tame several wild snlmals.
