to picture two men of more divergent
characteristic. Judge Payne is an
excellent administrator, wise coun-
sellor, and possesses all the qualifi-
cations of a really first-class receiver.
For in truth he should be known as
the Receiver, rather than the Chair
man, Of the Shipping Board, because
that institution now represents the
greatest bankruptcy in history. 1t is
receivership in fact, as well as in
theory: because, just as Mr.. Hurley's
programme went to the scrap-heap,
his policy went to the waste-basket.
Judge Payne will have the double
task of salvaging the wreckage and
creating a policy
After spending millions on wooden
canal boats (misnamed ocean car
riers), and steel ships with inferior
boilers, poor plating and generally
faulty designs, Mr.. Hurley promised
to set aside all the old economic laws
and put the American flag on the sew
en- seas. His policy has gone the
way of his programme. Every at
tempt at extenuation for the policy or
the programme meets. the same fate
when the cold facts are uncovered.
The policy Mr.. Hurley proposed to
Congress was based upon the as
sumption Nthat the Shipping Board
could sell to the public, without con-
siderable loss to the Government, the
bottoms it had laid down, and that
Americans could drive foreign COM
petitors out of the trade routes in lit
tie or no time Without considering
at all the high American rates of
maintenance, we knew that the Brit
ish yards were turning ships out much
cheaper than American yards, and
that any attempt to dump the ships
on the market would drive prices to
the bottom and the Government would
hold the bag to the extent of more
than 81 $780, 100000. At that time Mr..
Hurley took the position that our
great neutrality-suspicious. would re-
suit in wiping out the differential be-
tween American costs and those of the
Clyde. Of course this theory explod-
ed. A few ships were sold at some
thing like fair prices, but the rate
could not be maintained in the face
of glutted market.
According to testimony produced
before committee of the Senate the
other day when the costs of building
vessels by the Government was being
investigated such testimony showed
that every ship built by the American
Government costs approximately 100
per cent. more than the ships built by
British yards during the war, and rs
per cent. more than those built on the
Clyde since the armistice was signed
in addition to the fact that ours are
inferior
When these costs are. fairly consid-
cred, fairly good idea may be had
of the tremendous task which has
been assigned to Judge Payne. If he
can evolve a plan of meeting British
competition without huge loss to our
Government, then indeed he should be
recognized as the greatest receiver
in history.
There is approximately S3,00O,000,-
900 at stake.

Bones of St. George

England busy with internal and external questions stops
aeW moments and gives thought to saints and their bones
Somebody in Palestine digs up the alleged bones of St.
George patron Of England Incidentally also patron Of
Germany and Of Venice)
simultaneously comes the announcement that only six
more famous persons may be inferred in Westminster
Abbey and that these must be Cremated before they
are accepted
Whether to give the bones of ST. George final resting
place with those Of Brains greatest is complicated by the
refusal Of authorities to recognize the bones those
Of the saint Their refusal follows the precedent established

Point Let US consider that we know very little in
deed about st. George"
After due time had been given for apprehension of this

The carrier is supplied for that yerv

Recognition of Fighting Men
Wisconsin Sets Fine Example to Congress By Passing
! a Soldiers Bonus Bill By Popular Vote.

you lived in Wisconsin you would have the right Of
taxpayers everywhere outside of the District Of Columbia
and you would have voted few days ago referendum
b authorizing payment to every discharged soldier from
your State Of ten dollars month bonus for every month
lighting service, with minimum of $50.
The popularity of the measure is shown by the fact
that it passed by big margin the vote in some sections
being ten to one in its favor.
Of course this only State measure But 1t in
cates the attitude Of the people toward the boys who
fought abroad made ready to fight in camps at home
It is of the tenor and argument as the great
petitions of than million Americans recently pre-
ted to Congress asking six months pay for every soldier
sailor, and marine honorably discharged from service
The people Of this country ten to one for the uni

They are ten one for liberal and prompt expression

rendered across the well as in home camps.
They do not underand why there should be any more

Lost Child. Patrol Ride. Ignominy?
20 The Editor Of THE TIMES:

Ts The Editor OF THE TINES:
As 3 matter Of justice, ] repudiate
the unjust and unwarranted criti-
cisn against OFFICER MORGAN
Of the First Precinct while in the
performance Of his duties as an off
Ger Of the law, as offered by q morn
ihR paper of August 26th. l refer
Fo the phrase ''the ignominy of the
pstrol wagon ride" which the small
child is supposed to have endured.
Officer Morgan did his duty and did
Il well.
What is so ignominious in either
the ride or the patrol wagon? Is it
always a disgrace to ride in the
Hwagon?" How many merciful er-
rands have been performed by that
public carrier as an ambulance or in
other usages? Only the unfortunate
~ ignorant popular misconception of
she wagon or the duties Of the police
could bring forth such criticism. In
these days Of general enlightenment,
Then newspapers are the guides of
ihe public mind and opinion, it might
be well for the informants Of the
Sublic to learn first the rules and
regulations Of the Police Depart
saent, then to consider the response
biiities Of the lawkeepers and their
methods of functioning. Passing
immature judgment and criticism
tpon an act wholly above reprOach,
excepting to those who enjoy the
1Opular misconception, is not well

ion.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
One letter in your column caught
my eye. 1t was from a girl and
she signed herself Disappointed -
She has the right idea all right, but
n does not hold true in every case.
Man can be divided into three
classes. In the hrst class we have
men who like the frivolous type or
butterfly type Of girl. In the second
class we have men who like the plain
type Of girl In the third class we
have the man who like both.
He likes the type that is gaudily
dressed. but only to have a good
time with. On the other hand, were
he 10 marry, he would pick the
pIain. type OF girl for a wife.
In this case, Miss Disappointed.
"tbe hereditary theory does not ap-
pIv. Mothers OF the past, as you
saw. did not dress as their daugh-
ters do now. But that cannot be

must change with it. And such it is
doing.

PIenty Of GentIemen Herr.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young girl of twenty. I
came to Washington about a year
ago from a large city in the West.
There one can 90 out with gentle
men and feel perfectly safe, but are
there no gentlemen in Washington?
Must a girl stay in evenings for
fear Of being insulted by her es-
cort?
am considered good looking and
clever. but would rather be lone
some than lower my standards OF
honor. What 10 the matter with
the men? Can you tell me where
might meet the kind OF men who
disappeared in Washington. and tho
word gentlemen" become extinct?
THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED."
Ny dear girl, you must have
been more than ordinarily unfor-
tunate in your experience, since
coming from that Large city in the
West" There are ~'gentlemen"-
and mean it in the fullest sense
Of that much abused term-here
by the thousands. Can't some OF
your friends back home" give you
letters of introduction to penple
who have homes here? The city
is full of clubs for every sort Of
war workers." though the title is
getting q bit obsolete. There are
Neighborhood Houses, Settlement
Houses, War Camp Community
Centers, and nearly all churches
have their own especial clubs. IT
Is easy for a creditable girl to get
a card to any Of these. l am afraid
you must have become "disgusted
after one unpleasant experience.
