FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo.
PRlATloNS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. IL
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot.
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to q
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
II are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty.second
Congress appropriated over s51 .000..
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
q toll OF approximately SoOOOO,OOO
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs OF the farmer Of this ma.
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions In commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that OF free port
and none can be more easily and Of.
fectively secured.

EMPLOYMENT FOR THE IN
VALID.

Let a woman once realize the pos
sibilitieS Of wall paper and she may
employ many pleasant hours and
many profitable ones in its use. \
person can often handle pasteboard
and wall paper; fashioning articles
from them, when eyes will not admit
of sewing OF painting, and when a
weakened body is unable to endure
the fatigue from beng ON ones feet,
If the invalid will observe the varl-
Gus wall pockets ana the many waste
paper baskets, she will find models
for her work. These can be repro
duced in pasteboard, At the seams i:
is wise to paste strips of cloth BY
thus covering the seams the receptacle
is made stronger. AFTER the cloth has
dried thoroughly, not before, let the
wall paper be put on. More than
one pattern of paper may be used on
a single article. There is much scope
for individual taste in this matter.
1t will be surprising now many kinds
of receptacles one can make in this
manner. A variety or wall paper may
be secured from houses that send out
large samples at small prices. In this
way an invalid can spend many pleas
ant hours. and useful ones, for she
can supply her friends with attrac-
tive waste-paper baskets and various
pretty receptacles for the wall.

oLD-FAsmIoNED BEEFsTEAK PIE

First prepare seasoning of three
parts salt and one part black pepper
with just a dash OF ground nutmeg;
next take tender steak enough to fill
the dish cut this up in thin slices.
Now take each slice, sprinkle it with
just enough of the above seasoning
to season it mot TOO high, them
sprinkle it with chopped parsley,
Next roll it up and pass small skew
er through il to hold it, or you can
dispense with the skewer if YOU place
the fold downward to prevent its un-
holding. Continue this until the dish
is full, then add water sufficient to
make a good gravy. Now lay on top
of this afew hard boiled eggs sliced;
then put on the crust, previously hay
ing lined the inside edge of the dish
with paste. Now wash the top with
eggs and make it in a moderate heat;
as soon as il boils, and has boiled
about 10 minutes, nhe whole should
be cooked. BY adopting this plan the
meat will be tender and gravy much
richer than by the pan of parboil-
ing the meat prior to baking; the
point to observe being not to bake it
TOO quick.
