FOUR SHIPS
 REGISTERED UNDER
 U. s. BY NEW LAW

Washington, Oct. 3-According to a statement of the department of com
 nerce 54 vessels have been added to the American merchant marine under the recent enabling legislation. This is the statement of the department:
 Since Sept 8, under the amendment to the Panama Canal act on Aug. IS, 1914, the total number of foreign built vessels which have taken out United States registry and are now sailing under the American fag is 54 with a gross tonnage Of 21T POI. The total present value Of these steamships Is not known. but is probably between $12, ,Q0o.O00 and $15,000, ,oo0.
 The question of principle of prize has not in the opinion of Assistant Secretary Sweet of the department of connerce, been involved in any of these new registers.
 ssThe vessels were previously under British, Belgian and German registry and flags because until the act Of Au- gust 1914, the fact that they ware for elgn built prevented them from carry ing on trade under the American flag between foretgn ports and those of the Knitted States.
 Although their ownership was in reality American they were obliged to have foreign ownership of record, take out foreign registry and gail uri- der foreign flags.
 aThe change in our domestic policy began by the Panama Canal act of 1sl2 and extended by the recent act of fAug. IS, has brought these 54 vessels into the American merchant marine lothers are following daily but just how many iteis impossible at this time to say.

How to strike safety Matehes.

How to Strike Safety Matches.
 It is common thing with smokers for their safety match boxes to give out on the striking side before all the matches are used up. If they will keep in mind just one thing this can always be averted. The safety strik- ing part is very quick on trigger and needs only a slight contact instead of a long scratch. Simply snap the end of the match quickly for about quar- ter Of an inch on the striking surface. Tn this way the outside may always be kept fresh and usabIe. The long scratch, of course, causes the match to ignite before contact ceases, and the surface is actually burnt up.
 Some safety matches will strike on a wihdowpane.-C Chicago Record-Herald-
