F4VORS CARGO SUBSIDY.
President SAID to BeHeUe in Plan as
Help to Merchant Marine.
[Frorn The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Speaker Cannon and
the Republican members Of tho Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries expect TO have
a conference with the President fmmedia teIy
after New Years to discuss the form OF ship
subsidy measure which be most easily
passed by the House. It is expected that the
conference Will precede the message which. It
is understood, the President will soon send TO
Congress this subject.
Sentiment in the committee which has the
shipping bill under consideration under the
guidance Of Chairman Grossenor has been
steadily tending toward mail in preference TO
cargo subsidies, General Grosvenor having dis
cussed with the members of his committee the
advisability of so amending the Senate bill as TO
provide only for mail subsidies TO be awarded
TO vessels sailing between the United States and
South America.
According TO Information which has reached
the House, tho President believes, however that
cargo subsidies would be preferable. and would
and the Philippines to the possible beneficial ries
under the law. 1t is argued in favor of cargo
subsidies that even the sLowest vessels may
avail themselves of them. whereas were the
subsidies based solely on the transportation of
the mails, the fast liners, which are usually
owned by corporations, would alone be bene-
fitted.
Republican members of the Merchant Marine
Committee believe they will be able TO agree
on some form Of bill in the immediate futura-if
not at their next meeting. which is TO be held
on January l. at least at the meeting one week
later. IT is believed that with the support OF an
executive message even the timorous members
who have hitherto feared the disa pproyal OF
their constituents. will acquire courage TO vote
for some form of subsidy bill, as they can then
reply TO all criticism that they merely carried
out the recommendation of the President which
they appreciate is the most popular action so
far as their constituents concerned, which

Kind of Girl That Men Marry.

The clever, sophisticated girl who
is a good sport may be conspicuous
these days, but the keen observer
will see that the clinging girl, with
the big, melting eyes, in her quiet |
way is getting the big plums in the
marriage game, says Eleanor Hoyt |
in the New Broadway Magazine for
July. Aunt Laura, who knows the
matrimonial jungle like book, has
strong convictions upon this point.
The charming debutante says, IN
never be the success mother was,
though. I'm not clinging enough
Mother was one of the gentle, soft
voiced, dreamy-eyed, white-muslined
and blue-ribboned bellies, and Aunt
Laura insists that they are still the
| winners, in spite of all the slangy,
hoydenish modernisms one finds
among society women today. She
saws that mems tastes haven't chanA-

| ing, Is now, and ever shall be; the
| oak thinks the ivy is the real thing
in help-meets-and mans approval
is the whole law for the aspiring
| iebutante. Remember, my dear, |
am giving you the gospel according
to Aunt Laura, not my own humble
Ideas. I am a mere sponge, nova
lays, busily soaking up worldly wis
dom. It's all very amusing. but If
one believed it-well, when | be-

I'll land on solid ground somewhere
between the two.
