Dec. 27—In an ef fort to prevent a repetition of the ..relmapu. the Canadian govern- , >nt is planning to establish a chain of life saving stations from Barkley sound, where theBanfieid power lifeboat is stationed, to Quatsina sound and along the shores of the Queen Charlotte isl ands. The advisability of maintaining a; lifesaving tug similiar in type to the United States coast guard cut ter SnohomWj u also being con-! sldered by the Canadian govern- • rrent authorities. Manager R. C. Hill, of the Seattle j Merchants’ Exchange and the ; United States coast guard service in Seattle Monday were asked for a description of the Snohomish and the possibility of a Canadian life- j saving rug establish a systematic patrol of the west coast of Van couver Island, whieh is known a» graveyard of the Pacific.” If the craft is built she will be sta- ■ ttened a! Banfield creek, but will : most of her time in natrol i-e coast. Seattle shipping men are great er interested in the plans of their neighbors on the North to main-' tain aditional lifesaving stations and lifesaving tug on the west coast of Vancouver island. There is danger of American vessels a? me” as those of other flags losing 'heir way off Cap? Flatter}' in fog gy weather or being driven on the ; Vancouver island shore, and ship- ; r ng men all along the coast are taking 2 deeD interest in the plans of the Canadian authorities. Since the wreck of the Chilean ship Carelrnapu, with a loss of nineteen lives the establishment of r patrol service on the west coast ' f Va scourer island is being urged. Shipping men emphasize the need of a lifesaving craft capable of tak ing a sailing vessel like the Car-; e - '.apu in tow and saving her from destruction on the rocky shore. -4 WOMEN TALK OF STREET UNIFORM -- The standardizing of street dress for women and the adoption of one -v.-Ie that will last for five years and not look conspieious by reason o' its fur, were recommendations of Helen Louise Johnson, chair- ‘ man of the General economics :ttee of the General Feder ation of Women’s Club of Pitts m in an address on “Living on Me Budget Plan” before the organ ization in the Fort Pitt Hotel. “Men can do this. WTiy cannot women?” she asked. “The stage is said to be setting the style for women today. The rapidly chang* rg styles of their dress has be come an economic question, and these changes come so rapidly that manufacturers cannot afford to make up great quantities of clothes nd the worker* are idle for weeks at a time awaiting the next change in fashion. Work has ceas ed to be steady in great clothing factories.” CLASIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS SPECIALTY August chickens weight from I and 1-2 to 2 pounds each alive or dressed, delivered at any time. A. W.
