American Flag

the good old days" of the suprem-
acy of the American merchant ma

the restoration of their commercial
standing, mixed with a spirit of pa
triotism.

of the ships in the harbors of Rio,
Santos and Pernambuco, a condition
that has not existed for more than
a half century, since the decline of
Americas merchant feet, following
the Civil War, and the introduction
shortly afterward of the steel YES
sells by Great Britain.
The Brazilians and other South
Americans were closer to the United
States than to any other country in
the middle and fore part of the last
century, though contact with Yam
KEGS shippers of Yankee trading
ships, but the neglect of Americas
merchant marine, which dwindled af
ter the "Sixties" to practically moth
ing, coupled with the growing enter
prise of the Old World in the direc-
ton of the southern Continent, dis
tracted South Americas interest
from their powerful sister republic
in the North, and gave Europe long
lead in South America.
Only the world war succeeded in
accomplishing any real results, and
from the effects of the United States
Shipping Board, the United States
Chamber of Commerce, the Pan.
American Union, and other organiza.
tons and individuals, the outlook
has again taken on roseate hue.
In 1911 only three American YES
sells touched at this port, in compari-
son with 287 ships of American reg
istry which entered Rio in 1858.
From 1860 on there was a steady
decline. Since 1911, however, there
was slight though stead increase,
although during the two-year period
of 1912-l913 only sixteen American
vessels entered Rio karbor In 1913
the first vessel of the United States
and Brazil Steamship Line entered
Rio. In 1914, twenty-six American
vessels entered the port, but during
1915, for the first time in many
years, the American ship began to
come into its own again, when 1903
American vessels made Rio.
The number of American vessels tc
make Rio in 1916 rose to 1870
Americas entry into the war natu
rally took most of the vessels out of
the South American trade, and in
1917 American vessels made entry
this declining to seventy-one ships ir
1918.
Sailing vessels again came into
their own temporarily, due to the ne,
cessity for using every steamship in
the European war service. Of the
seventy-one American vessels which
entered Rio in 1918, only seventeen
were steamships.
Since the United States Shipping
Board has already made provisions
for considerable tonnage to South
America, 1919 promises to be the ban
ner year since 1860 in the number of
American vessels entering here. Be
tween January / and March 7, 1919
twenty-seven vessels flying the Amer
lean flag entered the port of Rio.
The registered tonnage of the YES
sells which entered Rio in 1918 to-
tailed 2,737,281 tons. The ships by
nationalities, follows:

A Massachusetts Congressman
DareS CritiCiSe the Union Station

What Does Be Think Of the
Station VIII Pay?
By EARL GOODWIN.

Congressman TreadWCy of Massachusetts, dares to cr-
else the in which the Union Station has been rnged
about with enangements for the pedestrian in favor o
private transportation companies
He is brave man. but doubt that his criticism W.
amount to anything. The Union Station owned by the
Washington Terminal Company, composed of Of the
smaret in this neck of the woods has deed the entire
Government long enough to pay attention to single
member of Congress.
Years ago Congress took step forward in the develop
ment of Washington and gave to the Washington Terminal
Company the right to build the fine Union Station its
present SITE The idea of single railroad station for all
roads is of course the proper progressive idea and has
worked wonders for the National Capital.
However in handing the Site including a large
for yard purposes Congress gave both privately owned
property and public streets
The public streets closed and turned into PRI-
VATE railroad property.
On this property the Washington Terminal Company
has earned money year after year. 1t has, in turn given
private concessions to other corporations.
And yet the Washington Terminal Company REFUSES
to pay all the taxes levied upon it by the District Of
Columbia
1t took whole blocks of land and long sections Of public
streets and turned them to PRIVATE useand refuses
pay the proper taxes the portions of the which
streets.
This overdue account amounts to more than
hundred thousand dollars.
The District of Columbia cannot sell the Union Station
Therefore the best it do is to the Washington
Terminal Company which, of course is dragging the
all around lot of teehncalities
In view of this fact Congressman Treadway might find
way induce Congress to take the property back from the
Washington Terminal Company and take any further steps
that might act as object lesson to those who operate in
land grabs at the public expense.

The Vanishing Lady"
AR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l read in your column lately a let
ter of much interest to me, signed,
Girl From the Golden West. I
beg to differ with you, Miss Girl
Girl From the Golden West" in one
respect. You say there are no
young men today who love manly
outdoor sports, and the higher
things of life. May I add that
there Is one who does. / am q
young artist and am greatly In
love with all outdoors.
You are certainly right in saying
that a real girl does not go to
public dance halls, and walk the
streets in outlandIsh costumes,
with an eighth Of an inch Of rouge
on her face, just 70 attract the
foolish passerby. I am sorry to
say that the lady of the past Is
quickly going into oblivion, and
as long as the public demand the
painted dance hall "Yamps," she
will continue to vanish.
When we are sufficiently edu-
Gated. and have reached a degree Of
civilization in which we appreciate
the higher things of life, the lady
will come back. However, there are
real girls in Washington today; the
difficulty is that a lady has too
much reserve and is too high-minded
to advertise her attractions. II
Revenue" was keen enough to get
admitted into the homes where the
daughters have had proper home
influence. he would find his type OF
young wOmsnhood. Miss "Girl From
the Golden West" you certainly
must be a wonderful girl, and II we
were to meet I think we could agree.
You are fair example OF the won
derfUl country from which you
came, and I hope there are many,
many more OF your calfber In our
country today. II. B. G.

here a whole year and pass such a
judgment on the young men OF

to mistake the shadow for the sub
stance. I mean that if she would
look past this young mans park
bench Irritation into 2 not remote
past, she would see him Offering his
all on the altar OF his country with
a soul big and strong and true
enough to equal the matchless males
Of her childhood. Because the park
benches are only too frequently
decorated by a perfectly good United
States uniform and the girl.
