U. S. FLAG NOW FLYING
ON 2,76G OCEAN, VESSELS.
New Registory Law Sets Record Not
Touched Since 1858.

The American flag now floats over
more ships III tLc foreign trade than at
g3y 0t,c" 90 since 1858. and the
United States is pressing close on
France and Norway as maritime ma
tiOn.
Figures by the department of com
merce show Il record increase in Amer
lean shipping for the year ended June
80. On that date there were registered
in the foreign trade 2,T6S ships, totaling
1,S13,IT3 gross tons, an increase of 1863
ships and 737 .G23 tons for the year.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the de-
partment of commerce said:
'This is about triple the increase in
registered tonnage for ara previous
year in American history. Our res
istered tonnage is now H7ash greater
than at any time since 1855. when we
had 2,023.114 gross tons In foreign
trade. it is many times mC9G efficient,
however, as the steam tonnage nov
amounts to 1.2T3.0G7 gross tons. while
in 1868 it amounted to only 1925
tons.
Ihe increase from the ship regis
try act of Aug Is, 1914, to June 13.
1915. was SO rapid that tonnage under
the American flag now employed in
foreign trade is nearly equal to such
tonnage under the French or Nor
wegian flag. British tonnage. of
course, is more than tenfold GDeater."
The increase is directly due to the
enlarged commerce of this country on
account Of the war and the retirement
of so many merchantmen of other ma
tons

JACKSON ENDORSES
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
State Commissioners of Labor
and Industry Says it Will
Mean Another Great Advance
in Human Liberty.

DR.. John Price Jackson, State Com
missioner of Labor and Industry, said
in a recent interview at Harrisburg
that he believed that great majority
of the men of this country had come
to the conclusion that women should
be given the right to vote. He said
that he himself had first learned the
justice of suffrage as a boy at his
grandmother's knee, and that his con-
tact with the hundreds of thousands
of women wage-earners of this State
had since confirmed his belief that
suffrage will mean another great ad-
vance in human liberty.
'If l possibly seem to put this
point in unduly strong language" he
said, lit may be because l can look back
for some third of a century and see
my Quaker grandmother in one of the
old farm houses in Chester county,
reading Wendell Phillips, Lucy Stone,
Harriet Beecher Stowe and other ad-
vocates of human emancipation. l
still hear her telling us boys in no
uncertain tones that woman is the
equal of man, and that woman, in the
name of Justice, should have an equal
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. Though she contended
that this could be accomplished only
by giving women the vote, and though
she was an important factor in one
of the underground railway stations
for freeing the negroes, she was
good wife, an excellent housekeeper
and a magnificent grandmother
Since the time of my grandmother
conditions have changed, and even
in that short period much of the
industry at that time carried on
in the household has been trans,
ferred to the mill or the office
This has made it more and more
necessary that women shall have
greater power in the control Of
conditions that affect their lives. There
seems. therefore, to be more reason
why women should vote now than in
the days of my early tutelage."

FURUSEli DEFcNDS
The SEAMEN'S LAW
Vessels Have Not Gone From
Under Our Flag, He Says

New York, Sept. 13.-Andrew Furu-
seth, president Of the International
Seamen's union, the man to whom
Senator Ia Toilette gave credit for
drawing up many features of the sea
mems law passed by congress at it's
last session, issued 4 statement calcu-
lated to answer those who are now
advocating the repeal of the law be
cause of its adverse effects upon
American shipping and the develop
ment of an American merchant ma
rine.
In his opinion the many recent
changes in ownership and routings
are not attributable to the operation
of the seameE's law but to the open
ing of the Panama canal.
Nov that the vessels of the Pacific
Mail compGnv have actually been
Sold" he says, at is clear to all that
the threat Of transfer to the japanese
or Chinese flag was mere bluff. The
vessels have been sold TO an Ameri-
can concern and VIII continue to fig
the American flag
He e2ys that while the trade in
which these vessels will be engaged is
problerGtical Il Is reported that some
of them viii take transatlantic
routes while others will be placed ON
the run frorl New York to San Fran
cisco by way OF the Panama canal. He
thinks the vessels now employed be-
tween San Francisco and ports in
Mexico. Caltrs} and South America
will continue in that trade or WIN use
the Pa1aroa canal for trade with the
Atlantic coast Of these countries.

The Sublime Porte.

The phrase the sublime porte"
arises from an aspect of the sultans
capital. The French words sublime
porte" are derived from 'porta subli-
ma" meaning ''the lofty gate" Con-
Stantinople city used to have twelve
gates, and near one was a building
with an imposing gateway called Bah
i-Humajun. In this building resided
the grand vizier, and there also were
the offices of the chief ministers,
whence all the edicts OF state were is,

Traps In French.

A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning in
similar phrases. For example, ''faire
feu" means to fire a gun, while ''faire
du feu' means to light a fire: 'tomber
par terre" conveys the idea Of falling
to the ground from ones own height,
whereas ''tomber a terre" means to fall
from any height-in other words, 10
tumble down and TO tumble Off IN
the same way trailer de fat" means
to call a man a fop and 'traiter en- roi''
to treat him like a king.
The English bore may be expressed
in two ways-''un raseur'' gives the
idea of an active bore and "une bas-
sinoire' of a passive bore. - London

Bird Is Greater Fest Than English
Sparrow, Say ornithoIogists.
New York, Sept. 13.-The war
against the European starting, bird
which bids lair 10 become even
greater pest than the English sparrow,
has received new impetus. The
bureau OF biological survey OF the de-
partment OF agriculture has often
recommended that the protection af
forded the birds in the various states
be withdrawn, but few days ago two
citizens OF Montclair, n. j., secured
permits from the state fish and game
commission TO shoot starlings annoy
ing them and this action may lead to
the abolition of the Jersey state law
which protects them in that part of
the country.
Starlings have spread as far north
as Albany, in this state, and with the
approach of winter, their roosting
time, it is probable that similar steps
may be taken against them here Al
though the starting is useful to some
extent, inasmuch as it feeds on in
sects and does not destroy grain, il is
fond of small fruits, is a veritable
fruit pilferer and in nest building ii
competes with useful native birds.
Few ornithologists hold that the
starlings are desirable aliens in this
country. The birds were imported
here from Europe, about twenty-five
years ago and their spread, through
out the eastern states especially, was
rapid. Fruit growers early branded
them as pests and spoilers of crops.
