dope sm uggler is also active. A rm ed w ith smoke screens, machine guns, super-pow ered boats, and even poison gas, these outlaw s are playing a fierce b u t losing game w ith the law. Against these smugglers, the little sailing cutters of th e old days have given w ay to a fleet o f several hundred sw ift picket boats, sturdy steel cutters w ith turbo-electric drive, sixteen pow erful destroyers. Seven b ra n d new, 165-foot Diesel-powered patrol b oats were recently added to this service in the vicinity of N ew York. An ever-tightening cordon is being draw n a ro u n d our 10,000 miles of coast. C apture of the rum -runner is only one of m any duties of the Coast G uard. M ore th a n 300 wrecks, derelicts, an d other dangers to navigation are destroyed each year by ram m ing, gunfire, or Explosives. Law s re­ lating to navigation, quarantine, a n d neu­ trality m ust be enforced. M edical aid is rendered to vessels engaged in deep-sea fish­ ing. R egattas and m arine parades are p a ­ trolled. P rotection is given to seal herds, game, and salm on' fisheries in Alaska. M edi­ cal a tten tio n , police protection, provisions, an d legal services are carried to isolated villagers of the fa r north. IN C E the fateful night in April, 1912, w hen the Titanic ram m ed an iceberg off the G rand B anks and sank w ith the loss of 1,500 lives, tw o cutters have been detailed each spring to p atro l the danger region, noting the size, position, an d drift of icebergs floating near the shipping lanes, and broadcasting the inform ation to passing vessels. F rom 1,500 to 2,000 ships, $ 10,000,000,000 in p roperty, and 1,000,000 lives pass through this zone each season. Due to its w atchfulness, not a single ship has been lost by collision w ith an iceberg since the p a tro l has been in operation. M ost im p o rtan t of all the duties of the Coast G uard, how ever, and the one pursued a t the expense of all the others w hen oc­ casion dem ands, is the rescue of lives an d ships. T o this end, every officer m ust be a hero as well as expert seam an. From De­ cem ber to M arch, the m ost hazardous m onths of the year, cutters of the service continuously plow through the danger areas, alert for the call of a disabled ship. M ore th an 250 active land stations, w ith launches an d surf boats ready to push into the waves, keep w atch from the shore. D uring the fiscal year ending in 1931, the officers, c u tle r crews, and surfm en assisted vessels and cargoes w orth $47,959,465, and saved 5,627 lives. During the last eighteen years, the value o f property saved is m ore th an $600,000,000 and m ore th an 50,000 persons were rescued.

N TW O recent trips to New L ondon I saw the buildings of this institution, talked w ith the m em bers of the faculty, and saw the cadets hard a t w ork. Of Colonial design, faced w ith brick and lim estone, the buildings have been adapted to the configur­ ation of the land. I n the front row , facing aw ay from the river, are the classroom and adm inistration buildings an d the cadet b a r­ racks. Behind these, lower 011 the slope, are the m achinery building and the enlisted m en’s quarters. The combined arm ory and gym ­ nasium, an d the athletic field overlook the river and w harf.

T he a tla tl is also know n as a throw ing stick. I t consists of a stick a bout tw enty inches long w ith a handle a t one end and a spur or shoulder a t the other. The spur engaged a little pit or cup drilled in the b u tt of the d a rt. In use the atlatl an d d a rt were held in the right hand, w ith the b u tt of the d a rt against the spur. T hen the d a rt, cast w ith a sweeping overhand m otion, flew through the air w ith great force. The object of the prim itive device was to lengthen the sloth m an’s arm by the length of the atlatl a n d consequently to give him greater force in casting the d a rt.

Colored bulbs are m ounted so th a t they cast their light over the fronts of the cut-outs. I f flashers are used in the sockets, and lam ps of different colors em ­ ployed, striking color com binations appear every few seconds. Stars are sta n d ard C hristm as decorations and are particularly effective when fastened a t the peaks of roofs, on outside walls, in tree tops, and elsewhere. You can purchase ready-m ade sta r ornam ents which take 10w a tt lam ps, but you will find it a simple m atter to m ake y o u r own.

Over the front of the box nail a piece of plywood or composition w ood th at has a star cut in the center and is covered w ith translucent tracing cloth, shellacked m uslin, or diffusing glass. P ro ­ vide a heavy screw eye for hanging the box on a hook. O ther stars consist merely of a plain w ood or fiber piece w ith sockets m ounted on the back, over holes through which bulb bases pass. The sta r can be painted silver or covered w ith tinfoil. The box structure can be modified so th a t it is itself in the form of a star.
