What 2 cocksure atti- say; 'Show me some way to go home. In China is no song like those. You like dance?" Sam shot an inquiring glance at his valet. He questioned Moy and learn- - led that the latter spent most of his spare time, and practically all of his money, in the Asiatic dance halls. Moy explained naively that the girls took more pleasure in dancing with Oriental men than with men of their own race because the former paid more liberally for the privilege. He asked Sam to go with him. Sam listened with a queer light in his eyes: he surprised, his employee finally by rising and saying he would go. v . That proved to be a strange exper- ience for Sam; he felt as if he were on an Arabian Nights adventure and he would have given much. if he had been able to see it through the eyes of his valet. To the latter it was roma:atic and pleasurably exeiting; Sam it was hollow, incredibly sordid and shocking. The sight of white girls in the arms of Chinese, Japan- ese, Filipino men evoked astonishment at first and then resentment. It was an abnormality that he found deeply repugnant, and yet he could rot tell why. His white mind was working again, no doubt, Moy took him first to a place on upper Broadway. It was about like any other public dance hall except that all the men were Asiatics, The danc- ing floor was fenced in by a railing with turnstiles at which ticket takers vere posted; between dances the girls rested on benches inside the enclosure. There were three men present for every woman. The dances lastéd only four or five minutes and the intermission even less. As a matter of fact, the orches- tra stopped playing barely long enough for the floor to be cleared and for more tickets to be collected, These tickets were ten cents each and were sold in books. Moy explained that the girls received five cents a dance and that some of them made as much as ten dollars a night--just from dane. ing. Ten dollars a night. Two hundred dances, Sam wondered how many miles these girls covered in an even- ing, Fortunately for them, the mod- ern dance is not exhausting. Of course his presence became known. Soon there was a craning of necks; the girls stared at him in open curiosity and talked among them- selves, The proprietor of the hall, a meticulous Japanese, presented him- self with a bow and expressed his ap- preciation of the honor Sam had done him. Sam thanked him and explained that, for tonight at least, he was only sight-seeing. * Curiously he put sev- eral questions which were answerel frankly, Yes, this went on every night, Po- liced? Why should the police make trouble for a licensed dance hall, open to the public and run in strict ob- servance of local ordinances and the prohibition laws? * It was an order'y place and white men were welcome, al- thongh happily, they did not patrou- ize it, Investigators, policewomen oc- casionally visited the place and a few young girls had been arrested on com- plaint of their parents, but most of he girls had their parents' consens 10 work here--some even brought their mcthers along. Would not Mr, Lee accept and use a book of tickets? A dozen books? Some of the girls were pretty. Many were agreeably young. « + « No? The speaker shrugged and nodded. He understood perfectly: a gentleman of Mr. Lee's consequence must exercise discretion in the pursuit of his amusements. "To you I will present select ad- dress," he said, "where matters will be found more agreeable to your lik- ing. Surroundings are more rich and satisfactory than of here and the management is correct. Polite young ladies of the non-shopworking classes can be met and the music is of excel." lent organization." On a card he wrote a Riverside Drive number and this he handed to Sam. Curiosity prompted the later to drive uptown to the address given; it was that of a handsome private house. This was a "club," however, hence it was furnished and run on a more pre- tentious scale than the public hall. The revellers were better dressed and no attempt was to separate them dances, but otherwise the pro- cedure was® about the same. T| was the same turmoil and the dances were equally short, Here, again, Sam was recognized and a good deal was made over him.

This fermentation is now recognized to be due to yeasts capable of developing in highly cncentrated sugar solutions. In an effort to discover any relation which might exist between the chemi- cal analysis of honey and ite tendency to ferment an examination of some 200 ples of honey collected from all over the Dominion was carried on by the Divisions of Apiculture, Bac- teriology and Chemistry of the Do- minion Experimental Farms. Chemically, with the exception of a few cases, the analysis of Canadian honeys lies well within the recognized standards, Differences are noted ac- cording to floral origin and to geogra- J phical distribution, Buckwheat honey your home. has a higher moisture nitrogen, titrate- "All true." lable acidity and ash and a Jower suc- "There's no denying the fact that rose content than clover homey, Ac your father sent her to Paris and cording to geographical distribution footed her bills up to the time of his|Ontario and Quebéc and the Eastern death.

Such phrases as "belay," "ahoy," "avast heaving," "sheer-off," "all taut" and "aloft the beam," are seldom heard from the lips of the modern sea- going youth to whom elevators, night. clubs, - swimming pools and all the other luxuries of up-to-date life in the: great cities are part and parcel of the: twentieth century superliners. Passengers asking stewards for di rections to find their cabin are told to: "turn to the right and go up two flights" instead ¢? "go along on the: starboard side and up the main com- panion way two decks," as it would be in the old lingo on board ship. Land Expressions Now Used Members of the crew now say "up- stairs and downstairs" and "on the floor" instead of "on the deck." The: chief officer of one of the super-liners in port the other day asked the stew- ard if he had put his big overcoat out in the sun to dry. The youth replied: "Yes, sir, I put it on the roof." "Deck,. you lubber--the deck," shouted the of- ficer; "there are no roofs on board ship." Pasengers make veteran mar- iners {frantic by calling their 50,000 or 60,000 ton ship a "boat." Nautical terms of command on the bridge have also changed with the in- troduction of the gyroscopic self-steer- ing machine and compass, Which keeps the ship ofi-her course better than the old-time quartermaster ever did because it works absolutely true. The only time that a quartermaster takes the wheel is entering or leav- ing port, when manoeuvring has to be executed quickly. " In the United States Navy and American merchant marine the terms "right" and "left" have been substi- tuted for "starboard" and 'port, which have been in use on Englishe speaking ships for nearly 100 years, Until about 1840 the steering terms were "larboard' and "starboard," ac- cording to Captain P, J. Fraser, who went to sea in Bluenose sea clippers in 1871 and is still active and at work as marine superintendent. "port" Due to Steam Ships On account of the increase of the merchant sailing vessels, just' before the advent of steam, there was a dan- ger of a collision occurring through an order being shouted hurriedly "to star- board" or to "larboard," and confusion ensuing, especially when the case was tried afterward in an admiralty court, as to what the captain or mate really sald at the time of the accident. Then the word "port" "to the left" was manufactured to make it completely distinct from "starboard." The stars board side is always the captain's side of the ship and the one by which he comes aboard in foreign ports when the vessel is at anchor. Everything seems to happen just off the starboard bow from the "blowing of a whale" to the "breaking of a water spout." Captain Dayid W. Bone, master of the Anchor line Transylvnia, who bas written several books dealing with the geo and ships, and is considered an authority on nautical matters, said the origin of the terms "starboard" and "larboard" came from the Italian mer- chant marines when a big oar was used at the stern for steering their craft before the rudder came into use. The oar was lashed on the side of the sailing vessel and not onto the keel line amidships as the rudder is slung to-day, » "Bstabord" meant "this side," the captain said, and "alaboard," 'other, ide," which - later became "star- board" and "larboard" among English speaking crews. One of the most popular songs of the early sailing-ship days was a duet for tenor and baritone called "The Larboard Watch." In the French Navy and merchant marine, the word "paborde," means "port," and "trie borde" is the starboard side, These terms are still used. ee fens.
