The rise in number of the German ocean marine since its destruction through the war, is in the strongest contrast with the inferiority of ours. The vessels built by Germany are strictly first class, and built with that thoroughness for which the German work is so marked. Noth ing but a determination accompan ied with an efficient government service, could have brought such a consummation. "We have the deter mination, but there it about termin ates for lack of operation. We have a great foreign commerce reaching into the billions, but as to trans porting such, retain a small percent age for ourselves, leaving by far the greater part of the tonnage to for eign countries. There was a period when we led the world in fast-sailing ships and tonnage, but that was before the Civil war, and then com menced the decadence, with this con tinuing through the years. The World war saw the shipping board established. This built hundreds of 'new vessels and formed lines to sev eral foreign ports. Later on some were leased, others sold, but it does not appear any marked change was noticed. Our thoroughness as to construction is shown by the state ment that many of the board ves sels are not fit for service, in fact, are unseaworthy. A law lately en acted gives government aid in ship construction, but some way there is lacking that factor that will make things go. Comments are numerous in the press, and the following from a Pacific coast paper is pointed and interesting. This says: "Rprm.iTiv is headffl for second Senator Brookhart wants red tape nlaf rnnfr mprrhfint nnvips of the abolished in this matter of adjusted i world, acording to the records made compensation certificates, with the since the Germans, stripped of their government paying the holders spot cash. -:o:- mercantile marine by the war, set out to regain their lost prestige on the sea.

While the United States is credited with 14,000,000 tons, lake shipping is 2,000,000 of this. Another 4,000,000 tons represents war relics and other derelicts stored in backwash basins. "T. R. Ybarra, in World's Work, reminds us that the great German merchant fleet is now only twenty per cent smaller than it was at the beginning of the war, when Ger many held second place, and is com posed almost wholly of ships less than seven years of age. On the other hand, in America's 8,000,000 ocean-going tonnage nearly every ship is more than ten years of age. "One does not have to be a ship ping man to see how ominous may be this comparison of the age of ships. Our old vessels are getting I older much faster than Germany's new ones. Yet Germany is constant ly adding newer ones. There are virtually no replacements of Amer ica's outworn ships. As time goes on Germany's gain on America in competition for ocean-carrying trade M.

Sure! So does everybody. But the President's remark, utter ed with owl-like solemnity, is down right bromidic. He had reference, of course, to the wholesale campaign of slaughter car ried on by prohibition agents "The overseas commerce of the United States is more important now than ever before. It is almost vital to the continued industrial develop ment and prosperity of this nation. Merchant ships are fundamental tools of foreign trade. The story of what Germany has done in mer chant marine is important to us as emphasizing what America has not done and is not yet doing." :o: A WARNING FROM LASKY Jesse Lasky, one of the leaders of the Hollywood moving picture world, repeats once more the word of warn- Such a remark, in view of thejiBg that Hollywood executives have saturnalia of bloodshed, could sounded so often lately that the emanate only from a stupid mind. most foolish thing a girl can do is No righteous angr, no justifiable to drP her lob and hd for Holly indignation, mind you just a calm woot on the chance of "breaking AvrTAacin rf rocrvot thot human w- 1 HlO Hit?

Mr. Hoover can do no better than "deplore" what has been happen ing in every state of the Union for more than a decade and let's it go at that. The cruel, wanton, unprovoked murdering of innocent citizens by the expert gunmen of the prohibi Hollywood is fairly swamped with would-be actresses, Mr. Lasky says, and the movie industry can't begin to take care of them. "It requires unusual ability or un usual talent for motion picture suc cess," he warns. "Very, very few of the girls who arrive in Holiywood have neither. No girl should go to Hollywood unless she has a round trip ticket and enough money to sup- If any one supposes that th? gov ernment departments at Washington are all located in commodious build ings they have visioned wrongly. It is true there are separate and hand- isome structures such as the treasury building, but in fact its business is so great, that twenty-seven separate buildings are rented by the govern ment in order to afford room for transacting the volume of business. Other departments have attractive main buildings, yet the vast and ever-increasing public business make9 necessary additional quarters on the outside. Thus is scattered the army of chiefs and employes throughout the city, and the mind picture must take in a hundred buildings or so. In addition to all this is the fact that it is necessary to rent places in various parts of the city for the storage of government property. Thus has to be paid out thousands of dol lars annually as rentals. It is stated that the storage of public documents and books printed by order of con gress in the government printing of fice, requires numerous buildings, and these products by congress and au thorized by it remain in storage, with large accessions annually. Pil ing up is continuous, seldom the other way. It is now proposed, Eince Presi dent Hoover has called attention to the matter, to construct sufficient buildings and thus save an enormous payments for rents every year. These structures would be worthy of the country. Some comment has been made on this subject, one press comment say ing as follows: "There are 70,000 federal em ployes in Washington. Nearly 25, 000 of them. President Hoover says, TOO MANY HATES Hate is a virtue and so is anger. Hate too, is a vice and so is anger.

Mr. Hoover holds out no promise of punishment for the murderers, and offers no word of sympathy for heart-broken widows and weeping children. "Deplore" is a mighty weak and puerile word Mr. President, to use in commenting on a condition that is a disgrace to American civilization. It is possible to excuse you for being fat-headed and slow-minded, because you seem to have been born that way, and therefore cannot over come the law of heredity. There will be some, of course, who will ignore this warning, just as similar warnings have been ignored in the past. But any parents who have a moviestruck daughter or son would do well to clip this out and tack it up on the wall. :o: Conference committees are sup posed to be composed of members of open minds.

If you have plenty of orthodoxy on your person you will attribute hate to the Macchiavellian machinating of his , rplit-hocf ma jesty from Hades. When Dr. Samuel Johnson said he liked a good hater, he meant a hater of bad things. When Byron called hata the madness of the heart he was reciting autography.
