Described Passage, i Third Officer Herbert Pittman was (the first witness examined. Pittman as been a sailor for seventeen years, e described the passage of the Tiitanic from Southampton, Baying the leather was perfect, there were no (heavy seas, and the sky was starlit. rfPittman testified that there was no specific time for boat drills, but that usually such drills were held leaving port. These drills, Pittman said, consisted of lowering two or three boats and rowing off to satisfy the board of trade that the boats were all right and the men could pull on the oars.
He said that eight men were usually
jut in each boat, and the drill con
sisted of nothing more than lowering
the boat and rowing about the har-
r.
Pittman was questioned at great
pength and replied that he did not ee any ice at any time during the voyage, but that an ice chart was posted on the Sunday evening of the collision.

Harrison S. Elliott, writing in the "Intercollegian," a publication issued by the Student Department of the International committee of the Young Men's Christian association, has the following to say, in part, concerning "Opportunity for Constructive Criticism," which subject is one of the many to be discussed before the professors' conference which is to be held in this city May 2 and 3: What about the Bible study outlines published for the use of student associations? The importance of Bible study, not as an end in itself, but as vitally related to the whole program of the association in winning men to allegiance to Jesus Christ in life and service, has become increasingly recognized. As suggestive guides to the study of the Bible and as an aid to the efficiency of . the Bible group, texts have been published from time to time by the association press for
j the Student Department, and these have been widely used. They have been published solely with an attempt to meet the needs of the student con- ! stituency for which they were special
ly prepared. Have these texts justified their publication? Evidently yes, judging by the increasing use many of them have had. How is it possible to make future texts meet the needs of the student groups more fully? Whether an individual text makes good in the type of institution and group for which it was intended is finally judged by the results of its careful and conscientious use. Constructive criticisms of the present texts can most helpfully be offered by the professors, ministers, general secretaries or students who have actually had experience in their use with individual groups, or by members of the groups who are actually following the studies. Suggestions as to changes in method of handling the material in future texts, and especially as to the lines of study needed, will be most valuable

SOUTH SEA FASHIONS.
The Dusky Native Bellas Have Queer Ideas About Dress. It would be hard to find a spot where the subject of dress does not sway the feminine mind. To the world at large its observance causes either a great deal of pleasure or a good store of amusement. In the category of amusement may be placed the proceedings of the dusky belles described by Beatrice Grimshaw in her book, "In the Strange South Seas:" A lace trimmed garment of mine, usually worn at night under the shelter of sheets and quilts, went to a Sunday morning church as a best dress In full daylight on the person of the laundress intrusted with my wash. The funny side was so conspicuous that she never got the reproof she deserved. A certain flower toque made of poppies, a bloom unknown in the Pacific, first drove the women of the Island half distracted with excitement, then led thirty-six native ladies to appear simultaneously at a dance wearing excellent copies of my Paris model done in double scarlet hibiscus from the bush. A wedding from which unfortunately I was absent furnished the finest display of native dress that took place that year. The bride wore fourteen silk dresses, not all at once, but one after another, changing her dress again and again during the reception until the white spectators were fairly eiddy. An international gas and gas appliance exhibition will be held at Amsterdam in September and October.
if they grow out of the practical experience of leaders and their groups. Realizing that future Bible study outlines can meet the needs of the students only so far as the frankest criticisms and suggestions of those whose judgments are worthy of consideration on these matters are understood, the International Committee Student Department secretaries, at their last meeting, voted to appoint a commission to make an investigation of student voluntary Bible study texts. Among its members, this commission includes Prof. Henry Wright, of Yale; Prof. Joel Hildebrand, of the University of Pennsylvania; Prof. Wm. J. Hutchins, of Oberlin; Religious Work Secretary W. H. Tinker, of the University of Michigan; Religious Work Secretary Lloyd Douglass, of the University of Illinois, as well as certain members of the International Committee staff. The commission, at its first meeting, decided that the investigation would be most thorough if conducted personally in individual institutions by International Committee, State or Local Secretaries, or by Secretaries. As a guide to the investigation, a careful and searching questionaire was prepared. The investigation is being carried on in educational institutions in all parts of the UniXed States and Canada. In order to arrive at some united judgments, the commission will make a careful study of the replies and prepare a report, giving recommendations as to Bible study texts. This printed report will be the subject of frank and careful discussions at the Professors' Conference in May, at Richmond, Indiana, and at other conferences, as well as by individuals. By this investigation, the Student Department wish to ascertain the "new texts needed and be sure that in methods of approach, handling of subject matter, etc., these texts shall be even more thoroughly adapted to student Bible groups.
JOY IN THE SCHOOL
How Infant Classes In Some Foreign Countries Are Handled. The man in the club had been talking politics with the school inspector until that gentleman declined to discuss the subject any more. "We'll talk about the youngsters themselves for a change," he said. "Do you know that both in France and Belgium reading, writing and arithmetic are being omitted from the subjects taught in infant schools? The children are simply taught to be happy Instead. And when they bring their dinners to school the food has, under the official regulations, to be put into a basket, which must be labeled at the school and set on a special shelf in a clean, airy place. Fancy such regulations in England! Any old newspaper and any cupboard is good enough for our children. " "In Germany toys are provided for play time, and all little children are compelled to bring clean pocket handkerchiefs to school, and they must have a bath once a week. "In Finland the tiniest children are taught to wash dolls, dust, sweep, look after flowers, and so on, and in some Japanese schools a resting room, with a bed, Is provided, so that overtired children may have a nap'."

Homely, Yet Admired and Envied ; Her Secret
The convention crowd in the lobby
made a path for her, cast admiring side glances, then with longing eyes
followed her to the elevator. It was
all the Ponchartrain in Detroit. The incident was recalled when I chanced to sit across table from the woman.
What was it about her that caused all
that commotion? She wasn't hand
some; she was lacking in form and feature. Yet she did seem marvelously fascinating. Her complexion must be the secret. Really, I've never beheld its equal. Venturing to pick up acquaintanceship, I learned the reason. "I know I'm not built for beauty," she confided, "but I've tried to make the most of my one charm. I've learned that men abhor make-ups and artiiciality. I bar cosmetics; there are just two things I ever use and they promote natural loveliness and youthfulappearance. "When my complexion begins to age I get an ounce of mercolized wax at the drug store, apply at night like cold cream and wash it off in the morning. This gradually flakes off the outerskin; then I have a brand new complexion, magnetically beautiful, as you see. "Wrinkles never bother me. At their inception I bathe my face in a solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered Baxolite in a half-pint of witch hazel. It works like magic." Mona Morrow in Town Tattler.
