Growing Better
Advance in Figure for German
Ship Christel indicates an I'm
proved Condition.

Three more grain carriers will COM
plete their cargoes this week. practi-
cally clearing up all the engaged grain
tonnage in the harbor. Those whose
rcargoes are nearing completion are the
Ffenoh bark Admiral Halgan, the
French ship Berangere and the British
ship Vincent. The Halgan, which is
dying at the Oceanic dock, will probably
finish today. An effort is being made
to have the Berangere loaded tomor-
row. She Is at the Montgomery dock.
The Vincent is being given Quick dis
patch at the elevator. and will be finish-
3ed by Friday. &ess. n
THE ouly remaining sailing vessels at
sPortland on the engaged list are the
French bark Europe and the German
ship Christel. The Europe Is taking on
wheat at the Greenwich dock, but it
will be sometime yet before she VIII be
ready for the sea. A big force of long
shoremen is busily engaged in loading
the steamship Lothian at the -four mills
but the task will not be completed be-
fore the first of the week.
No new charters have been reported
since the German ship Christel was
taken last week by Kerr, Clifford, &
Co. There are still three ships in the
river that are open for engagements.
They are the Red Rock, the East Afri-
can and the Glenesslin. The rate given !
the Christel shows a decided improve
ment in the situation, to the shipown-
er's way of looking at the matter, and
IL is believed to be very likely that
any charters made from now on will
be effected at good figures. The Christel
was reported chartered at 1Ss Sd, but
several of the ship owners say that the
rate Is 19s. ssI

fronting the average widow bring her
often into conflict with the law.
More than so per cent of widows are
women that never had a profession or
trade. Therefore, when suddenly forced
to enter business life. of which they know
neither the ms nor outs, they are very

The widowed or divorced woman u.s. of
course, really just as honest and peacea-
BILE as the married woman, and it is due
to her dire necessity and overwhelming
trouble, that she breaks the law more
often than her happier sister.
These figures show that the young
widow fails far more often than the wild
ow of a certain, settled age. The reason
is obvious-she has one or more young
children to bring up and would rather
steal than see them starve. Again dur
ing her short span of married life she had
no opportunity or thought to save some
thing toward a rainy day. When the
children are grown up and the widow has
become better acquainted with the law
and life's conditions. she is better cit
lien in every respect.
The following figures show the widows
sad record in offenses of violence:
