CHEVROLET MOTOR
SELECTED AS LIFE
SAVER AT SEA
Not :<atitfied with playing
a leading role on land the auto-
mobile motor has now taken
up a career at sea.
Away up on the sun deck of
the Steamship President Lin-
coln, which sailed recently from
San Francisco for the Orient,
is an iron cagin—loftiest place
on the ship. Its water-proof,
water-tight and strongly built
to protect its contents from sea
and weathei. Inside and out,
the house is neat and ship-
shape and the chief engineer is
the only pet ton aboard w ith a
key to its lock.
This cabin known as the
auxiliary room houses an elec-
trical plant operated by a Chev-
rolet motor for emergency use
only.
In case of an accident should
everything else on shipboard
fail or be below water this mo-
tor generates electricity for the
wireless set and for lights
around the life boats. It is one
thing that gassengers and crew
depend upon in case of disas-
ter for as long as there is a
spar above water the auxiliary
will function. It is entirely in-
dependent of the ship’s regular
machinery and will operate
with out interruption supply
current for distress calls and
strong lights for launching the
small boats.
While in these days the pos-
sibility of a disaster at sea is;
practically nil, the auxiliary
room gives an added feeling of
security. Chief Electrician T.
Armstrong of the President
Lincoln opens up the little ca-
bin once a week to test the
emergency rig.
This feature of modern steam
ship travel indicates the degree
of perfection to which automo-
bile motors have been develop-
ed. It is nothing short of mar-
velous that those faltering
pieces of mechanism which
first propelled automobiles less
than three decades ago, have
been so perfected as to be sel-
ected to serve as life-savers in
case all else fails.

RUSSIA’S TROUBLES NOT
SOLVED BY VODKA
j Opponents of prohibition
I have been blaming the dry law,
| for the crime wave in this
country. They have argued,
that the return of drink might;
help reduce -crime. Perhaps |
they would like us to try Rus-
ria’8 experiment. But look at
Russia today—drink and crime
both.
An Associated Press dispatch r
from MoSCoW states that Rus-
sia is in the throes of a violent
crime wave throughout the
country and that the Central
Committee of the Ukraine has
served notice “of a fight to a
finish against “Hooliganism.”
The dispatch says:
“The outbreak began soon
after the government sanction-
ed the sale of vodka of 40 per
cent alchol and grew’ steadily
worse until the crimes against
women became so frequent and
violent that the rountry was
aroused. In Moscow alone, in
three months, 12,450 gang
crimes were committed. In
Leningrad labor bodies de-
manded the death penalty for
the leaders of a gang which
had attacked a girl.”
