A Good Fish Story "In other ways, 1928 was a very busy year for the lifeboat service. Beven new motor lifeboats were built, for Stromness in the Orkneys, Waltonâ€" Onâ€"theâ€"Naze and Southendâ€"onâ€"Sea, Esâ€" seo;; Swanage, Dorset; Fowey, Cornâ€" wall; Cromarty; Cromartyshire, and Thurso, _ Caithnessâ€"shire. Sixteen other motor lifeboats were under conâ€" struction at the end of the year. ‘The lifeboat fleet, on December 31, numâ€" bered 205, of which 70 were motor Hfeboats. "The outstanding lifeboat service was performed by the Motor Lifeboat at New Brighton, when it rescued the grow of 23 from a French steamer. It was a service of great danger, carâ€" ried out with conspicuous skill and eourage. "The majority of the 591 lives saved in 1928 were British, but once again our lifeboats have shown that they are a great international as well as a British service. Altogether, 15 vessels belonging to eight different natlonalt+ ties were helped, and 83 Hves were rescued from them. Four of the vesâ€" sels were French, three German, two Norwegian, two Dutch, one Italian, one Danish, one Belgian and â€"one Latvian. In addition to these 83 lives from foreign steamers, 15 Chinamen were rescued from an English steamâ€" er. Two of the three principal serâ€" vices of the year, for which the Instiâ€" tution awarded its medals for gal lantry, were to foreign vessels. "Since the Institution was founded, 105 years ago, up to the end of 1928, €1,759 lives have been rescued from shipwreck round our shores, an averâ€" age of 11 lives saved every week for over a century. The tragedy was the eapsizing of the Rye Harbour lifeboat on November 15, with the loss of her wholo crew of 17 men. "During the year the Institution gave rewards for the rescue of no fewer than 591 lives. This is the largest number rescued in one year since 1923. Of thesoe lives, 60 were rescued ten days in the gales in the middle of November. In addition to the lives rescued, 52 vessels and boats have been saved or helped to safety, "Nineteen hundred and twenty. eight has been a year of splendid achievment for the Lifeâ€"boat Service, overshadoawred by a great tragedy," says "The Lifeboat," the organ of the National Lifeboat Institution. ‘A Record for the Past Sease of the Coastal Lifeâ€"Savers of the Sea Girt Isle Lifeboats In a Cool Tower work in the Straits of im pey af is can be 4gp* ch the fish pulls tlon :rmam untH ho fshermen r:z ind cast the fish on the skore, is ve, es # the 3 7 is Em«. \ Excess aclid ig the common cause of indigestion, 1t results in pain and sourness about two hoturs after eating.

American firms have also had a great advantage in being able to develop the comparatively new manuâ€" facturing and exporting _ business while other industrial nations were at war. They made the most of their opportunity and established their serâ€" vice agencies and advertised their carse aggressively ali over the world. That is the position which the British manufacturer and exporter have to face. After the War they had a great deal of leeway to make up, and n&‘ turally concentrated attentiion on the relatively small British market.

They even set fire to his house. His pet pig was found one morning mysteriously slain, and two of his dogs were poisoned. Then there is the case of a New Guinea chief I knew who after a trip to civilization, which taught him much about vermin and thelr relation to personal cleanliness, ordered the geo- ple of the village to cut short their hair, Now, New Guinea natives, parâ€" ticularly the young men, are intensely proud of their hair, which in many cases makes a mop two feet or more across, and the chief‘s order caused a great uproar. ‘The people threatenâ€" ed him with all kinds of violence, from sudden death to slow torture, and the Another reaction against illâ€"timed progress took place in one of the Torres Strait islands, off the New Guinea coast, and the disturbance was caused by the Australian administraâ€" tion nominating native councillors to manage the islandâ€"a plan to teach the islanders selfâ€"government. Many of the islanders objected to wertain of their fellows being raised above them by an outside authority, and there were violent quarrels, often ending in bloodshed. In fact, a bloodâ€" feud arose and.became so acute that half of the villagers shifted their beâ€" longings and started a village on a different part of the island. Peace was restored in the end, however, and the scheme of selfâ€"government was eventually accepted, The native counâ€" cillors nowadays are respected and rather pompous persons who see noâ€" thing ridiculous in the fact that usuâ€" ally their sole costume consists of a red guernsey bearing across the chest in large white letters the word "Counâ€" cillor." Hinting that they doubted whether a chief who sought to inflict such things on his people really had their ‘interests at heart, they threw away most of the hats and boots and ripâ€" ped the other garments into ribbons wherewith to decorate themselves at the tribal feasts and dances. And the chicf was wise enough to drop his reforms undvfet matters go on as they had gone on before. The people declared against the scheme; giving as their reasons that washing the clothes would be more laborious than washing the body; that boots merely impeded the action of the feet; that a man did not need the protection of a hat when he had a great thick head of hair, as all the natives had; and that, altogether, European clothes were strikingly ugly, especially the trousers, which looked ridiculous besides. Wear such ugly elothes? Go to all that bother? Not on our lives, said the South Sea Islanders. And the chief who had been struck with reâ€" forming zeal almost lost his leaderâ€" ship in the same way that King Amâ€" anullah found trouble in Afghantstan when he tried to modernize his people. The chief had come back from a misâ€" sion station with a stock of European clothes, Jack McLaren tells us in an article in the New York World Magaâ€" zine on the South Sea Islanders lack of desire to change their ways. The chief intimated "that henceforth the people were not to run around more or less nude, as they had always done, but were to. wear clothes ‘allâ€"same white men,‘ including boots and hats."

At a blacks‘ camp in a remote part of tropical Australia, an aboriginal girl who had been employed as a domâ€" estic servant at a distant town conâ€" ceived the idea of teaching her brethâ€" ren to live as she had seen white peoâ€" ple live.

After a very little while the people refused to go on, saying that hunting was a quicker means of obtaining food than waiting for it to grow, and that it was plain foolishness to take all this trouble to make things grow when the jungle was full of fruits and things which could be had for the picking, and that they were very angry with me for in troducing such a scheme.
