"You will remember sometime ago, I said that if the President Liners employed the same efficiency and care in handling freight as they do in taking care of their passengers, it would pay us to route all of our shipments via the Dollar and American Mall Liner. This cable says 'Shipment arrived perfect condition, record time. From now on all our freight as well as employees will go on the Presidents.”

SOLDIER'S LIFE FOR
A CHILD'S.
LINER DIVE TO THE RESCUE.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME; SAVE HER"
Passengers in the P. & O. liner Kaiser-1-Hind, in the Thames "off Tilbury Dock, who had rushed to the rails on hearing that a little girl had fallen, overboard, saw a soldier who had bravely leaped in to her rescue drown.
The child was saved by the second mäte of a tug, who dived into the water and restored her to her anguished parents in the liner.
The drama occurred as the liner left the docks for Bombay. There was a sadden cry of "Somebody overboard!" and the passengers rushed to the side. In the water they saw a child floating, and a few seconds later there was a splash as a soldier jumped off the liner to rescue her,
As the tug drew near the man, who had been swimming strongly be cried out, Don't worry about me, save the child"."

Perhaps the greatest and most up- conscious enemy of the successful woman is the Other Woman's Husband-that hearty and blithe fellow who says: “I
