French Report
Ships' Tonnage
Continues Rise
Government 05ers Aid for Ship
building and Trade 1937
Favorable Year.
PARIS (UP) Coincident with an
nouncement by the French govern
ment that 100,000 tons of new war
chips will be laid down in dock
yards before winter, comes the report
that the improvement in French ship
ping, which began in 1936, still is
on the rise.
The report, from the French Mer
chant Marine Owners committee,
classifies "the year 1937 as among
the most favorable we have exper
ienced." This is the first improvement in
Trench shipping profits since the
World war. The crisis was sharpest
in 1930, and it led to a law in 1934
granting a state subsidy to French
clappers and another in 1936 to com
pensate for a further drop in French
shipping tonnage due to the internal
l i.:e in prices.
The present improvement, which
permitted the government to end its
subsidies in 1937 is attributed to the
favorable influence on world trans
port due to the two sharp devalu
ations in the franc in 193G and 1937.
The Spanish and Sino-Japanese wars
have been a further stimulant to
shipping.
However, rhe report also contains
two major criticisms. First, that the
merchant marine fleet was diminish
ed by 6G.51C tons in 1937 due to the
impossibility of financing replace
ment. Second, tliat the margin of
profit has been reduced in the last
year by a rise in international prices
and an increase of wages due to the
r.3W social laws. However, a study
of individual companies reports for
1937 contradict these criticisms to a
certain extent. Sums expended for
amortization have increased by four
and five million francs in each case.
Dividends have risen an average of
30 per cent. Moreover, when the
Ministry of Merchant Marine, study
ing these complaints in view of ask
ing for a new subsidy from the
state, requested reports on all voy
ages indicating costs and profits as
compared with 1929 and 1935, no
answers were forthcoming. As this
request was made in Octover, 1937.
and as no answers were received be
fore the closing of Parliament, the j
ministry regarded the complaints as
unfounded. It did not propose special
subsidies to cover the supposed dim
inution of profits.
Government Halts Decline
The government has acted, how
ever, to check the falling off in gross
tonnage in the French Merchant Ma
rine. Tonnage engaged in world
trade was registered at 2,887,990 at
the end of 1937. The decree-laws
of last May raised the funds of mari
time credit from four to twenty mil
lions for three years to aid shippers
to expand. They likewise raised
from one and a half millions to ten
millions the subsidy for improve
ments for increasing the speed of
ships engaged in maritime trade.
Both measures are extended for a
period of three years and will permit
the construction in three years of
500.000 tons of new commercial
ships. Another decree-law passed at
the end of May created free zones in
the principal French ports, stimu
lating trans-shipments through
French ports and thus favoring the
French shippers on the world market.
The French government regards its
program for increasing and improv
ing the merchant fleet, which is of
vital necessity in case of war, as fully
successful and it is not likely that
there will be many changes in this
program for the coming year.

BIRD DEFENDER PRESENTS "CASE
STATE COLLEGE. Pa. (UP)
Farmers and city dwellers who grow
irritated when they hear the familiar
rat-tat-tat of a woodpecker on their
liX vol lie iiuu ui ououc n j
don't understand woodpeckers.
Dr. J. Logan Bennett, director of
the wildlife research unit at the
Pennsylvania State College, has
found that each hole the woodpeckers
drill means the bird has located the
larva of a destructive wood-boring
insect. With their heavy bills, they
are able to kill many insects other
birds cannot reach.
Dr. Bennett believes that birds in
general are misjudged by Americans.
They really are great friends sav
ing millions of dollars in crops an
nually. Good Mosquito Killers
"Martins around buildings often
consume as many as 1,000 mosqui
toes a day," he said. "Many birds
aid in the control of such pests as
the Japanese beetle, corn ear worm,
June bug and aphid."
The Baltimore oriole, often ac
cused of damaging grapes and gar
den peas, has food habits that are
largely beneficial, he said. Caterpil
lars are its favorite food but it also
eats numbers of plant and bark lice,
ants, wasps, grasshoppers, spiders
and weevils.
"Those who discourage the nest
ing of swallows are turning out
their best friends," Dr. Bennett con
tinued. "They consume vast num
bers of harmful flying insects. Young
birds in their nests often eat more
insects than their parents.
Defends Orchard Robins
"Fruit growers bejieve robins arc
their enemies because of their appe
tite for cherries, yet robins consume
insects harmful to fruit throughout
the year. Only during July and
August do they eat cultivated fruit
to any great extent.
"Farmers interested in protect
ing their crops against insects by
having large numbers of birds around
the farm will do well to leave a swath
of small grain in a corner of a field
next to protective cover. "The grain
will provide food for both game and
song birds this winter. If left near
clover it will aid materially in carry
ing the birds through the winter and
insure their aid next summer in the
war against harmful insects."
POLICE EDIT RADIO CALLS
FOR RECEPTION IN HOMES
NEW ORLEANS (UP) The po
lice department hopes its home-listening
public will notice somu improve
ment 5n radio calls.
It used to be when a man got so
soused he couldn't keep his feet, he
went on the air like this: "Patrol
wagon so-and-so, pick up a drunk
who is down at ."
Under new regulations the oper
ator says something like this: "Pa
trol car so-and-so, a man is down at
the corner of ."
There can be no mention of drunk
eness or anvthing that is likely tc
offend the ears of home listeners.
"You'd be surprised how many
people listen to those calls at home,'
one police official said. "Now it
wouldn't sound right to talk about
a man being drunk in front of
women and children."
However, if a man is murdered
with an axe, it is still murdered with,
an axe on the police radio. But the
killer couldn't by any means be de
ribed as "drunk."

South America
Buys Warships
from England
Argentina, Brazil, Chile Indulge in
Minor Naval Race Equip
Ships for War.
LONDON (UP) South America is
indulging in a minor naval race, with
approximately $30,607,500 worth cf
vessels under construction in British
shipbuilding yards.
Argentina leads with about $22,
067,500 worth of ships, all of which
are nearing completion, followed by
Brazil, with $13,500,000 worth, con
struction of which started a few
days ago. whilst Chile is consider
ing tenders for two 8,000-ton cruis
ers. At present, Argentina has. the 31
knot 7.000-ton cruiser schoolship
"La Argentina" under construction
at Vickers-Armstrong's shipyard at
Barrow-in-Furness and seven destroy
ers divided between three yards.
"La Argentina" was laid down in
1935 to replace the 40-year-old
"Presider.tc Sarmiento" and is ex
pected to be finished in December.
Its cost will be approximately $S,
4S7.500. Equip Ships for War
Although described as a s.hool
ship, with accommodation for 60
cadets, "La Argentina" will have six
torpedo tubes, nine six-inch guns,
four four-inch anti-aircraft guns,
eight two-pounder anti-arcraft guns
and will carry two amphibian planes
which will be catapulted from the
deck.
The seven destroyers belong to
the G class used in the British navy.
They have all been launched, and al
though five have yet to undergo
trials, it is expected that all seven
will be ready to leave for Buenos
Aires at the end of September.
The "Buenos Aires," "Entre Rios"
and "Corrientes" ere being finished
at Vi;kers-Armstrong's Barrow-in-Furness
yard, the "San Juan" and
"San Luis" at John Brown's Clyde
bank yard and the "Missiones" and
"Santa Cruz" at Cammell Laird's
Birkenhead yard.
All the seven captains, most of
the officers and 500 members of the
crews have arrived in Britain aboard
the transport "Pampa" ready to take
over the vessels on completion. Ad
ditional crews for the "Corrientes"
and "Santa Cruz" will be brought
on the "Pampa's" sister ship "Chaco."
Carry Crews of 145
All seven destroyers, the total cost
of which will be approximately $13,
580.000. were laid down in 1936.
They will displace 1.335 tons, have
a speed of 35.5 knots and carry crews
of 145. Some slight modifications
have been made to make them con
form to Argentina's special require
ments, necessitated by climati; con
siderations. They will be fitted with four 4.7
guns and seven smaller, as well as
eight torpedo tubes.
Brazil's six destroyers will be
similar to the British Navy II class,
one of which, the "Hacock" was
badly mined in the Mediterranean
while on Nyon patrol duty, but kept
afloat.
Construction is divided equally be
tween Vickers-Armstrong's Barrow-in-Furness
yard, J. Samuel White's
yard at Cowes. and Thornycroft's
Southampton yard. It is expected
that they will be completed in 1940
at an approximate total cost of $8,
730,000. Their specification is similar to
the seven destroyers being built for
the Argentine government.
Chile is at present considering
tenders from several firms, including
British. German. Italian. United
States and Danish for two 8.000-ton
cruisers armed with six-inch guns. At
present, the Chilean navy has only
three cruisers, the newest of which,
the "Chacabuco." was completed in
1898.

HENPECKED MEN FIND PARADISE
SYDNEY, Australia (UP) A
paradise for henpecked husbands,
whose wives are fined for bad cooking
and nagging, exists on the island of
Badu in the Torres Straits between
Northern Australia and New Guinea.
The strangest part of this strange
state of affairs lies in the fact that
the penalties against wives in favor
of their husbands have been provided
by a woman herself.
She is Mrs. Ethel May Rahel, the
"ruler" of the island, which has a
population of 520 natives and five
whites.
Twenty-nine years ago, the Queens
land government appointed Mrs.
Rahel superintendent of this primi
tive remote island.
As governmental assistants, Mrs.
Rahal has three native councillors
and three members of the native po-
ilice force to help her superintend the
general conduct of the natives.
This task does not overwork the
three policemen. The island's 520
"subjects" are a rather happy, law
abiding class. They have a shrewd
sense of humor, she states, and some
very amusing customs.
According to the laws created by
the councillors, a woman can be
charged for nagging, for cooking her
husband's food badly, or for other
wise failing in her domestic duties.
She is fined according to the
seriousness of the offense, the hus
band cheerfully paying the fine as
a consequence of being relieved of
the annoyances that displeased him.
The island has an $S,000 church,
for which the natives themselves sub
scribed the money.
During services, a native walks
up and dow nthe aisle with a huge
stick. If anyone shows signs of
sleeping, he is poked sharply in the
ribs by this self-appointed monitor.
Mrs. Rehal reports the island is
self-supporting. The inhabitants
grow their own sweet potatoes, yams,
bananas, and pineapples.
One of the staple diets on Badu
Island, also known as Mulgrave Is
land, is the flesh of the dugong or
sea cow which when young is like
veal, and when mature similar to
beef.
CAHNERS WANT MORE WORKERS
WASHINGTON (UP) The Na
tional Youth Administration has sug
gested to unemployed young people
that the canning: industry is a good
place to look for jobs.
The Indiana NYA concluded from
the first scries of occupational surveys
that vegetable canning is increasing
and offers more and more jobs, not
only for youths but for untrained
workers and older women.
The seasonal nature of the work
is a disadvantage, a report made
public by Robert S. Richey, state NYA
director, admitted. But this may
eventually be overcome by develop
ment of freezing as a preservative
measure, permitting the work to be
spread over the year, the report point
ed out.
"A consolidation of the industry
would also improve the employment
situation, it is noted, as it is the small
ceasonal plants which can promise nc
future to their employes, where as
large concerns can maintain a year
'round force, rotate workers and ad
vance them to higher positions," the
report said.
The canning industry, nevertheless
appears to offer no great solution for
the unemployment problem because of
its size in comparison wth the great
"heavy" industries. There are 2.744
canning: establishments in the United
States employing 116,29s wage earn
ers and 10,206 salaried workers, with
an annual income of about $70,600,000.
Indicating the importance of the
industry .to the farmer, the report
said that in 1934 21.5 per cent of the
grower's income from vegetable crop?
came from sales to canneries.
According to the Indiana report
Columbus discovered the tomato now
one of the most universally popular
vegetables, in America; it was grown
in Europe for 300 years before any
one would eat it and was not used
for food in this country until 1830
because of the belief it war, poisonous.
The largest iannipg states, in order
are California, New York, Maryland,
Indiana, Virgina, Wisconsin. Illinois,
Ohio Pennsylvania and Washington.

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES i
The report of the Plattsmouth
public library for August shows eight
new borrowers and 2,457 book3 cir
culated, an increase over August,
1937, of 351 books, and over July,
1938, of 240 books.
Out of 115 children who started
the Summer Reading club, 74 finish
ed the required reading. These
children will be given a treat, which
will be announced later.
Mrs. Earl Sipple gave the library !
a number of western story books,,
which will be very ui?ful in re-1
placing worn copies of some old
favorites.
Two new books on the pay shelf
are highly recommended. "My Son,
My Son," by Harold Spring, was
given special mention by Walter
Winchell in his radio hour, and is
among the 10 most called for books
in libraries everywhere. "The Year
ling," by Majorie Kinnan Rawlings,
is the beautiful and moving story of
an adolescent youth coming to man
hood in the primitive environment :
of the Florida swamps and pine lands.
The descriptions of natural beau
ties are splendid, and when you lay
the book down you feel a new kin
ship with bird and animal life, as
well as human life. The simple folk
dialect used in the story adds much
to its pungency. It is a fine book
for young people as well as adults.
"The Blue Mittens." by Mary K.
Reeby, illustrated by Kurt Wiese,
is a charming child's stc-y, telling of
the every day happenings on a farm
and at school. Very young children
will enjoy it as a read-aloud book
and third graders can read it for
themselves with a little help.
A beautiful book is "The White
Stag," written and illustrated by
Kate Seredy. It is a legend of the
Huns and Mazyars. and begins with
Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Then
it tells of Hunor and Mazyard, turn
eagles of Hadur, who married the
moon maidens and led their people
to a promised land, always shown
the way by the white stag. And
finally Attila is born Attila the
Cui.veor, king of the promised
land. I.." illustrations are fs much
of the book as the legend itself. They
show all the mighty strengii. "( the
warriors, the grace of the morv
maidens. the mysterious glory of the
white stag. Whoever likes artistic
beauty, either child or adult, will
enjoy "The White Stag."
DISCOVER OIL ON OCEAN

when they found dipplcs of oil and
water.
Confirming the find, Dr. Alan Cam
eron, provincial deputy minister of
mines, said:
We're going to carry the drill hole
on further. According to the geolo

Chicago Turns
'Murder Mart' in
to a Playground
Near North Side Once Scene of 42
Deaths in 18 Months Mil
ton Street Renamed.
CHICAGO (UP) Chicago's bloody
"Little Hell" where 42 men were
slsin in 18 months two decades ago
is a paradise for youngsters today.
Softball, baseball, boxing and bowl
ing have replaced shotgun slugs, pis
tol bullets and stilettos in the old
murdrer-mart.
"Death Corner," hub of "Little
Hell" by virtue of its high death
rate, has lost its chill magic in the
Chicago Avenue police station. But
Police Capt. Tom Harrison remem
bers when the half square-mile on
the Near North Side was the hotbed
cf unsolved murders instead of the
home of Seward Park. Ely Beach,
and numerous playing fields.
"It's all been changed now, even
the names of the streets," he said.
"And the greatest change has been
brought about by a number of doc
tors and lawyers. They have substi
tuted active sports clubs for the street
gangs that formerly provided train
ing in car-stealing and petty
thievery."
Milton Street Renamed
The intersection of Milton and Oak
streets, "Death Corner," is now
Cleveland and Oak. Townsend street,
for many years the address of numer
ous victims of mysterious murders,
now is Hudson avenue.
Even a decade ago, Harrison said,
the trouble calls from "Little Hell,"
whkh usually mean murder, were so
frequent that special details were
assigned to various corners.
In contrast, Patrick Congdon. who
has been the juvenile officer at th
Chicago avenue station for a number
of years, says today:
"If things keep on as quiet as they
have, we won't even need a juvenile
officer here."
42 Murders in 18 Months
Unsolved killings In "Little Hell"
in pre-war days included that of
Giuseppe Giglio, whose death in 1911
was the 42nd in 18 months. The
murder of Santo Lubruzzio in his
doorway in 1914 was the 28th of
that year.
"nd the leaders of this sevtion
are stilf "'"Hans," Harrison told the
interviewer. Vr?,ut these young men
who have change' Little Hell' are
professional men who want' to kcc
the youngsters get a break."
"La manero nera" or Black Hand
was the terror of the district during
the big-profit days in the bootleg
trade after prohibition. The young
fellows, once recruited to fill the
gaps in the gunmen ranks, are now
more interested in Joe DiMaggio
than their forerunners were in AI
Capone, Harrison said.
WORKMEN FIND OLD GOLD

Fort Crawford unearthed a gold half
dollar of 185G which bore the In
scription "California Gold." The.
thin coin is less than half an inch in
diameter. Three Spanish coins also
were found on the site of the 120-year-old
fort. They are dated 1781.
