The body of Gunvald Muuson, a
farm hand employed on the Olof Gjer-

met his death from being hit on tn
head with some blunt instrument, ant

American Shipping.

In spite OF the failure OF the
Presidents shipping bill, there will
be this year q very considerable in
crease in American shipping. 1t
came, first Of all, from the registry
bill passed, some months ago, ad-
hitting to American registry vessels
built abroad but owned, in chief
part, in this country.
This will add over q hundred
thousands tons to our merchant
marine. Bnt the most encourag-
ing feature in this connection is
the increase in the tonnage of
vessels built in America for, while
il is better to manufacture them at
home if we can do so. The dis
couraging fact in regard to our
shipping is that we have, Of late,
been building so few ships whore
as, Of old, we had won 8 reputa-
ton in the construction Of clippers
and fast sailers.
It is gratifying to know that
there is greater activity in boat
construction now than for many
years past; and this improvement is
particularly encouraging because
the figures Of 1914 were poor, show
showing . decrease in the output
- compared with the previous
year, probably on account of the
war and the very uncertain status
Of shipping for some months. We
are over all that now; and there is
no reason why we should not fare
as we'll in ship building as We are
likely. to fare in other and kindred
lines of industry. The British
yards will not be able to do much
in the way Of merchant vessels un-
I'LL the war is over. The British
merchant marine has beensdiEerted
to q considerable extent to naval
purposes; and, in every respect,
the opportunities and profits for
American ships were never better.
If the present struggle lasts long
enough, the world will find when
peace comes that the United States
is in control, to a very considerable
extent, of the ship building indus
try and the carrying trade.
The country lost its merchant
marine during the war of the Con-
federacy when the Alabama and
other Southren men-of-war were
sweeping the old-fashioned Ameri-
can clippers from the seas and
when her Federal government
thought only Of war vessels and
nothing Of those destined for peace.
I've may regain it again through
war. The situation is completely
reversed to-day for the great ship
downing countries are now busily
lengaged in destroying each Others
vessels, not only those engaged in
1.-THE warfare but those engaged in
commerce as well, leaving the field
|opsh to us, five have the needed
ships or can purchase or build
them.
We have purchased q number
and we are now trying to make
Fgood our deficiency by building
more. Every ship building firm
lon the Atlantic coast has more
orders than IL can possibly fill !;
land the same conditions are said to
|exsist on the Pacific coast. IF there
lis nothing doing on the Gulf, it is
because we have not yet gone into
|ship building in this section to any
great extent, as we have several

son who is making ; public speech
is aware at once Of the difficulty there
is in establishing an intimacy of re-
lationship with his audience; and yet
that intimacy is Of the essence Of
what l have called, "good talk" The
intimacy TO which refer is precisely
what gives to conservation-the
turning together immense adj
vantge over all the other means Of
communication between men At the
same time it is responsible for most
of the slovenliness of common speech.
This is 50 because the very facility
with which we get ourselves under
stood in the eye-to-eye intercourse Of
conversation is an encouragement TO
disregard the niceties Of language.
Lacking that intimacy of contact, but
feeling need for the complete and
sympathetic understanding and for
the free interplay of personality
which it implies, the boy or girl who
is learning to reach an audience will
be, quick to realize the necessity Of
discovering and cultivating the re-
sources of his language.
