Later on, when she stopped acting
and began to write plays for other peo-
pie TO act in, the same popularity was
observed. Some Of her plays appeared

tined to become a writer Of really great

which may be mentioned christopher

IAN American Citizen" which was used
one season by Nat Goodwin and Maxine
Elliott; "A Coat OF Many Colors' and
"The Mysterious Mr. Bugle," admira-

Within the last few years a great
change has come over the shipping of
the great lakes. New steamers of large
tonnage and vast carrying capacity
have been gradually substituted for the
feet of small vessels that have en-
gagged in lake commerce since 1918,
when the first steamboat sailed from
Buffalo to Detroit. But the coming
years are to witness even greater
changes. Saturday new steamer,the
John w. Gates, the largest ever con-
structed on the lakes, was launched at
Lorain, Ohio. This vessel has been
built for the American Steamship COM
paEy, which already owns some of the
largest vessels that ply between Buff
falo Chicago and Duluth. 1t is 500 feet
long and is the first that has been COM
pleted OF four of equal length and
tonnage. These large vessels are ex-
pected greatly to economic time and
expense in transporting the heavy lines
OF freight
