NEW OCEAN TERROR. OFFICIAL YARN SPINNER ON LATEST AMERICAN LINER.
When the officers and crew of the first United States Mail Hinor signed on for their list trip to Europe, among those present will be an official 'spinner of
The correct title of this new trans- atlantic terror is "n professional enter. tainer who must have an inexhaustible- stock of good stories...
Every seafaring, man approached by a Daily News representative from Cocks- pur-street, Pall Mall, to Wapping smiled at the idea. "When a steamship com pany has to find its own professional en- tertainer, said one of the now gene- ration of aca-dogs in Cockspur-street, it simply casts a reflection on the social accomplishments of its own first- class passengers.

"Our company always leaves the yarn-spinning to the passengers them- selves, and, as a rule, there is always' plenty of talent on board. If everything else fails we can always fall back on the parser, who is generally capable of entertaining the passengers with good racy stories"
The American yarn spinner will re quire a repertoire suitable for rough and calm weather. It will have to be exten sive enough to list at least a whole week, not counting matinees for the children, He must be able to amuse the passengers assembled in the saloon after dinner with Christmas and New Year stories, funny stories, detective stories, ghost stories, recitations of all kinds, and the latest inusic-ball jokes from London, Paris, and New York.
He will have to play the piano, and may be enlled upon to sing or do a few conjuring tricks. He will have to be equally at home in the Children's Nur- sory, the Smoke Room, the Drawing Room, and the Library, and he must be Able to speak correctly English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, Cockney, Parisian, Lane, shire and Yorkshire, and probably a bit of old Keatucky. Also, he must never tell the same joke twice on 'one voyage.

FIT. IN BOOTS...
The old-style boot-shop assistant is disappearing. He used to say.
Just walk about a little on that, will you. madam Deen that pinch ? ??
The ultra-modern, however, лув: "Would you like to see your feet? and leads his customer to the X-ray box..
Messrs. Daniel. Nent & Co., of Ken sington, hayo just installed an X-ray apparatus for their customers. It con- Bists of a large box underneath which is the X-ray tube in a lead-lined cabinet. This is covered with an aluminium plate, on which the feet are placed.
The instrument gives a clear picture of the bones of the front, portion of the feet in relation to the welt of the boot or ahoe, and the scientific boot assistant can thus achieve a perfect fit without any danger of contradiction....
A Daily Ntion reporter found the new toy the centre of delighted youngsters and customers.
Amumber of the firm explained that only low-power rays are used, and that the dangerous properties of the rays are entirely eliminated by careful lead screening,
