lengths has this been carried that in the case of
some commodities the transfer of cargo is wholly
automatic and it is claimed that the iron ore is

The ships of the Great Lakes. alike to their
courterparts on salt water, have been gradually
growing In size as years have gone by. However
the depth OF certain channels connecting the lakes
and other considerations will preclude the posi-
bility OF the frightening process going on indeh-
nitely as 1t appears likely to do in the case of
oceangoing craft The 1,000-foot steamer which
is already Gin sight in the evolution of transAt
lantic navigation will probably never have par
ael on fresh water and. indeed, it is more than
likely that present-day lake cargo ships come
pretty near representing maximum, although
there Ia no doubt that our Great Lake passenger
ships will go increasing in size and luxury as

Making a Home of Your Abode

Ever witness the sigh OF relief with

wife and mother take a vacation
They're fond OF her. of course. but
there Isn't any doubt about a certain
sense OF freedom and relief which her
absence affords. When John puts her
on the train he doesn't return home to

stead, he takes an almost tendish de-

house without the fear of being or
