Mother relapsed Into a very, very sigid silence. But In the hours that followed nnd next day, her mind was sot at all rigid, it was making a most anheurd-of decision, and the following evening, about potnto-peoling time, ffeund her ordering a well-chosen, If meager, repast In n well-known cafe teria in the heart of the city. Yes, she vowed, she would find out , for. herself what It was thnt the girls tStked In these moving pictures, for, ,'auite frequently, hnd come tho eve ata; message over the wire, "Don't 'keep Slipper for me, ma, I'm going to i the movies."

It did not occur to her to ap proach nn usher or the desk; home was her one thought. Sho nppronched tho girl presiding ver the turnstile In the subway. "I'e lost my purse, Miss," meekly. Tho girl eyed her suspiciously. What's that dangling from your ami?" The young womnn snapped out the question as calmly as if lib-scnt-mlnded customers were her spe cialty. Tho distressed woman glanced 6 her urni and there swung her purse, us ulrllyjis n jounij Imp. In a more composed state of mind ,su continued librae, quietly let herself fin jlndlittpfjed expectantly to the kitchen. The usuul well-ordered kitchen was now rather pathetic in Its array ofdlshes and pans, piled ilfh and "unwasned, und the air was Keeking with the extra warmth of a forgotten gas oven. In the dlnjng Boom the two girls were stretched out full length on the floor, absorbed In a paper pattern of a coming gown, and Jlmmle. the young pride of the house, slept comfortably, dressed even to the Hoots, In his small bed. Mother de ' fiected the remains of tears on his grimy cheeks and her heart re nroached her. "Couldn't you girls put your little Brother to bed one night without leav ing him In the state he's In und break ing his heart besides? And I bet you forgot his prayers." The girls were aroused. "Ion't mention that kid to us, mother; It took the combined efforts of dad and Tom. und us to get him us fur as we havft nnd we nearly had to call on the neighbors." "Gee, what a kid," added Hess, In her mute quiet, yet positive voice. "And whero's dur father nnd Tom?"

Wood Ships Colossal Error. At tho height of its operations. Oc- tobor, 1020, tho Shipping Board had 1,317 steel ships plying between our shores and those of foreign markets. With tho docllno which has come in world trade, we are now (July l), op erating 437 steel ships, of a total of 3. 509,485 deadweight tonB, and' have 993 stool ships, of a total of 6,644,445 tons, tied up. For Uio purposes of the future, in surveying tho Government's fleet, wo may olimlnato the wooden ships, the creation of which, to my mind; was a ooiossai orror tnat even war cannot forgive. Certainly the then Admin istration had ample warning through Genernl Goethals of the tragedy or waste the wooden-ahip program en tailed. Thus, the Government's problem or temporary operation and ultimate dis position Is Involved in the 1,430 steel ships which It possesses. When Shipping Board operations Were at their height, Amorlcan vessols carried 45 per cent, of the yalue of our in-and-out foreign commerce. To dav with business depressed, we arc carrying but 35 per cent.; thU das'. largely to the fact that in time of sore' daproaslon, the nations with either or both old established lines and low er standards of living make' it hard for us to compete. However, tho 447 steel ships tho, Government is today operating aro covering practically overy trado route in the world, insuring constant access to tho markets available for tho prod-1 uct of 'America. Fleet Kept Freight Rates Down. Immediately after the close of tho war, had wo not possessed tho Gov-ernment-ownod fleet, there Is no doubt that freights would have soared oven higher than they did; and today were America's Government-owned tonnago withdrawn from the seas, our traders would pay Increased tolls to foreign owners. So we must remomber that while the operation of the fleet is cost-, lng us millions, it is saving us mil-; lions in freights and insuring us con tinuous relations with our customers. Tho Shipping Board, including ad ministrative expense, cost of tie-upj and maintenance of Us unused fleet,1 and the oporatton of over 400 ships is being run at a cash outlay of tho Treasury approximating' 150,000,000 annually. This does not take into ac count tho cost of tho ships and conse quent capital chart ea.

The main factors of our problem nro, what kind of merchant marine do we require for war needs; what types do wo require for business needs; how can wo uso tho Government-owned fleet a3 a nucleus In private hand3 for the meeting of these nods? IVenldent Harding has offered to the Congross a program of legislation which will pro vide the solution. In my next artlclo I shall discuss our war needs in a merchant marine. PUNISHED FOR USING FORK In 1090 the sldered to Instrument Was dm Be the Invention of the Evil On. Investigations made as to the exact period when people gave up eating with their fingers and resorted to forks hnvo failed to give definite results. ; It Is known, however, that, in the year 1050, In Constantinople, the daughter-in-law of Oreleolo, doge of Venice, used n fork to convey fopd from plute to mouth nnd thereby, grently scandalized tho faithful who appear to lmvo considered thls ln novation ns un Invention of the evil one. Saint relet Damlen relates the affair with considerable pious indig nation und, after explaining how the Vcnctlun princess made use of n little gold fork instead of eating with her fingers, adds: "But the Almighty Father mntlo known to this woman how odious to Hlra was her vanity, nnd His wruth was made manifest unto her, so thnt, brandishing over her head the blade wf divine Justice, He straightway caused overy part of her body to rot nwuy." All this for the heinous crime of us ing a fork ! As u matter of sober fact, tho doge's daughter-in-law nnd her husband were carted off in the great plaguo of 1050, among tho victims of which, It niny safely bo suld, were many of the faithful who nte with their fingers. From Le Petit Parisien. (Translated for the Kansas Clty.Stur.) LIKED POMP AND CEREMONY Early Settlers of America Were by No Means Deeply, Imbued With Denv ocratle Ideas. When the eurly American settlers came to the American wilderness they brought with thetn a persistent re spect for the pomps and -the vanities of feudullsm with its distinction, of classes und Its conventions of respect tal observance. They showed a curi ous luck of a suvlng sense of humor. When the first settlement at James town was starving Sir Thomaa Gates, on relinquishing hjs authority, fired a solute from tho fort, and mada M departure llko a king abandoning Ms realm. De la Warr, arriving a few d8 later, landed with a flourish of trumpets and a procession, with ban ners borne beforo him. When he went to church he was attended by nn es cort In rod cloaks and a guard of 50 men, although there were not more thnn liOO In the colony. When.thu Puritans, n peoplo who wero supposed to hnvo laid aside tho pomps and vanities, went to church, they wero summoned to Captain Stnndlsh's door by tho roll of n drum. Duch mun wore a clonk and carried a musket on his shoulder. They fell in three ubreast, led by n sergeant, nnd behind this escort strode Elder Brewster with Captain Stnndlsh strut ting stiffly nt his side, with n sword in scabburd nnd bearing n cune or wund as nn emblem of his authority.
