ship fleet around the Horn, It might
be a surprise TO examine the record
OF some Of the fleet of commerce
that plies the waters of the great
lakes. According to figures compiled
here, many of these lake steamers
have Travelled In their trips to and

sells now steaming on their lengthy
voyage.
Probably the record belongs to the
steamer II. II. Rogers, of the United
States steel corporations fleet of ore
carriers. During 235 days of service
this vessel carried 323,567 gross tons
of iron ore on her 20 trips, travelling
approximately $4,000 miles in doing
so. This mileage is equivalent to
three runs like that of the battle-
ships cruise from Chesapeake Bay to
Frisco.
The activity of the country's inland
fleet and its rapid growth has been
going forward steadily of late years
This growth will be accelerated as
soon as the government undertakes a
well defined policy Of waterways de-
velopment. The National Rivers and
Harbors congress is working persist

the most vital interest to every part
of the country, whether near inland
streams or on the seabord, or far re-
moved from either.
When the government undertakes
the expenditure of S5O,OOO,OO0 year
on this development of waterways the

JOY and pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the

world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find Joy in melting
aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not say the very thing that will cause
the skeleton in her friend's closet IT,
rattle his bones
She is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds
no fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when
you invite her any place, complie

She is the girl who is sweet and

who doesn't strike you as :, poor
imitation of demi mondaine
She is the girl who makes this
world a pleasant place because she IS
so pleasant herself.
And, by and by, when you corle to
think of it, isn't she the girl who
makes you feel She likes you, and
therefore, you like her?
