Contrary to the general notion about the relative Importance of. those In a canoe's manning, the bow paddler stunds first. Among Indian voyagers he Is the captain of the crew. Ills will Is law, snys Outing. Not arbitrarily Is a captain s power vested In the bow paddler; It. Is , tho outcome of experience nnd the basis of It Is skill. The ndvnntugo of a canoe Is, though, that, being lighter In draught than any other known craft, can be taken Into very shallow water; and Just here, accompanying this advantage, lies a danger which the bowman must be able by his skill to meet. It Is his business to watch for and avoid obstacles, snags, "dead heads," slightly submerged tree trunks and shoals; and the last two are some times very difficult to see before one Is almost upon them. But a bowman must be able to see them ; much Is at stake, life Itself even. Especially In certain kinds of rnplds-runnlng It Is his trained eye for navigable water and his skilled hnnd quick to guide the boat Into it on which the safety of tho creW depends. 1) 1 For 'fw first time In the country's history, a father and son have been elected menbers of the snmo congress.

With a total absence of partisanship the House, by a vol of 389 to 0, passed the Seven Billion Dollar bill to finance the prosecution of the war against Germany, including a loan of 13,000,000,000 to the Allies. Representative Meyer London, Social ist, of New York, who has conscienti ous tcruples against war and appro priations for war, answered "present" when his name was called. Owing to general pairs and absen tees only 389 votes were recorded for the bill, but both Democratic Leader Kltchin and Republican Leader Mann announced that all of their members would have voted affirmatively If they had been present. The formality of a roll cull would have been dispensed with If several members who voted against the war resolution had not in sisted upon having the opportunity of recording themselves In favor of pro viding money to carry on hostilities now that the nation Is at war. The bill authorizes $5,000,000,000 In bonds, of which $3,000,000,000 will be loaned to Entente countries, and the Issuance of Treasury certificates for $2,000,000,000 ultimately to be met by increased taxation. Passage of the measure never was In doubt during the two days It was under considera tion In the House, and favorable action by an overwhelming vote Is assured in the Senate. It probably will be signed by the President by the middle of the week. The bill was not materially amend ed In the House, except for the inclu sion of language specifically directing that the loans to foreign Governments shall be made during, and not after, the war and that the securities bought by this Government with proceeds of the vast loan shall be the securities of nations fighting Germany.
