FEW HOURS DIFFERENCE
It is reported the S. S. Alameda is
northbound from Naud Island, in
Seymore Narrows, where passeng
ers, mail and cargo from the S. S.
Northwestern, which struck a rock
Sunday morning, were transfered.
Indications are little delay in the
regular sailing date south from Sew
ard will result from the transfer and
that the Alameda will probably be a
few hours late in arriving Saturday,
also a few hours later in departing.

fortune in unclaimed savings lies in
the vaults of New York banks await

The pennies of “floaters” the world
over, from diverging sources and in
varying amounts, add to the total
which, in one bank alone, has climbed
to six figures.
Hundreds of depositors have visited
banks never to return. They have left
their savings and gone, possibly to
death, without leaving record of their
moves.

IS LURED BY THE SEA
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12. (£>)—
Boys who watch ships go down to the
sea develop into men who go down to
the sea in ships.
So a survey of Orleans Parish public
schools has revealed to Miss Emma
Pritchard Cooley, director of voca
tional guidance.
Boys living along the waterfront,
or attending schools near the river,
from whose windows they could
watch sea-going vessels on the Miss
issippi escorted by tugs, showed a
decided tendency toward uautial pur
suits, Miss Cooley found.
