Relieve the Hearts of many Fretters

And why, in short, the snarled-up Mails

We cry in vain! The Grim Postmaster

He does not give a single Damn
He answers not through Mouth or Journal
This Friend of House, the Gumshoe Colonel
He thinks our Heads are Wooden Cubes;
He takes away our Postal Tubes

burning oil for steam could almost make the round trip from New York to Europe and back. taking most of their oil on this side: and with freight steamers running at slower speeds, and burning less oil to the mile, it would be possible for them to go half round the world.
 Coal oil Johnny can give almost any coal-burning steamer seven league sea boots by a few simple changes in eQuipment-the installa- ton of oil burners under the boilers and the conversion of coal bunkers or double bottoms into oil tanks.
 But even that is only half his po- tential efficiency. Look a little farther ahead and design your ship to run with internal-con bustion engines of the Diesel type, and he can double the efficiency.
 The motor ship will operate on about half as much oil as the oil- burning steamer. Its engine-roon force is reduced still more-from one to three men are sufficient; and there are no stollers. for the motor ships mechanical staff is made up of skilled men. A Danish motor liner, the Fiona, recently went clear around the globe, making q voyage of 900 miles, with only one engineer.
 The largest motor snip yet blilt. the Glenapp, recently made her trial trip in Scotland. She is 10000 tons dead-weight, with two sets of Diesel engines. 6,6O0 horsepower. It is es- tinated she can make from 12 to 14 knots an hour an run from Lon don to Austral;a and back more than half way without replenishing fuel-that is going by way Of the Suez Canal, she could take oil in the Persian Gulf and run back there witIlout replen:sh- ing; while by the Panama route she would take oil in the Mexican Gulf.
 This means that. with the worlds merchant fleets equipped e i~2lr as motor ships, from SC to go per o7nt. of the bunkering stations around the globe could be abolished; ships would require fuel only about twice in go- ing around the worid-or at an average of every six weeks. There need be no isolated fue, stations; oi. would be taken on only where ship called for cargo or passengers.

the living standards and morale of those who go down to the sea in ships.
 Land transpo portation in practically all countries has been developed to Q point where competition is regarded as wastefuI. Competition probably played 2, useful part in days when railroads were being built; but, once laid down, il was agreed that compe- tition in railroad operation, with its losses and bankruptcies, worked pub lie damage. So for a generation the nations have been ringing their rail roads under wise control for common welfare.
 Advantages of OH.
 Next comes reduction in bunker space. with an increase in cargo space. \ ton Of oil takes , cubic feet less space than a ton of coal, and gives 80 per cent. steaming efficiency against 65 per cent. for coal.
 This works out to about 40 per cent. saving in bunker space, which is made available for cargo in a freighter. Moreover, there is a say ing in quarters for the crew. becausa an oiI-burning ship carries fewer men Estimates for the ATauretania give 2 freroom force of 27 men for oil burning, as against 312 needed to burn coal
 Oil-burning vessels will make fi-orn 10 to 20 per cent. more mileage thar coal burners There is better contro- of steaming, because fires can be started and stopped instantly, steam raised quickly. and time in port saved through the greater ease of taking on oil as conrasted with coal CoaIng is always a dirty job and tedious, whereas oil is simply pumped into the double bottoms quickly and with out fuss or muss.
 There are other advanta ges: oil is often cheaper than coal in actual dol lars-prices vary widely. of course. Oil does not deteriorate in storage like coal. Oil eliminates the fire risk from spontaneous combustion in coal, and is not subject to the danger of shifting in rough weather at sea. Oil eliminates ashes and ash conveyors, smoke, and soot, and the necessity for frequently painting a ship. Oil reduces the expense Of grate repairs, corrosion Of boiler plates, fuel-hand- ling devices afoat and ashore.
 Even more remarkable, however, is the increase in radius of ship op- eration and the possibility for plan ming profitable voyages without handi- caps imposed by coaHng. The coal burning ship must stop frequently for fuel. Her nationality may put her at a disadvantage where foreign bunkering stations are used. At the best. coa1-bunkering stations in other countries have always involved politi- cal complications. Even with the magnificent bunkering facilities af- forded British ships, there are varl- ous parts of the world where the coal burner must steam a considerable distance, with little or no cargo simply to take on coda well recog- nized operating handicap.
 But the oil burner has a radius of from two. to three times that of the coal burner. Fast passenger liners

\ COAL OIL JOHNNY GOES TO SEA
By EDWARD N. HURLEY Chairman United States Shipping BoarC

The fast clipper ship was built of wood and propelled by sails. We had the timber 10 build that type of ship and the ingenuity 10 apply wind power and beat the world in speed. Those were the days of the Yankee clipper ships, and from Revolutionary times until 1861 we carried from 60 to 90 per cent. of our own world trade.
 Then came iron and steel ships. with steam power. Great Britain led all countries in pigiron production the whole world output in 1860 was less than 8,O0O,0 ,00O tons, against 5O,- O00,0OO tons for the United States this year. As for steam, Emerson said then: Steam is an EngIishman.'' John Bull took first place in the new kind of shipping. The proportion of American trade carried in American ships steadily ran down to less than 10 per cent. at the outbreak of the world war.
  revolutionary advance in merchant ships, and the United States will gain have some advantag ge-if we back nat uraI resources with national inEe- nuity.
 Petroleum Is the coming factor in shipping. It will be used under boil CTS to raise steam. Better yet. it will propeI internaI-combustion engines of the Diesel type-the motor ship. We have an advantage in our large out put of petrOIeum-65 per cent. of the worlds output. And we are handiest to MeXicO's supplies, now nearly s per cent. of the worlds production, with remarkable possibilities for in crease, and two types of crude oil that are peculiarly suited to marine use.
 In making a learned academic forecast of Americas new merchant marine a German professor recently said: ''In trading with other mari time powers it is right and proper that nation should carry in its own ships at least 50 per cent. of its world commerce"
 4 New Era In Shipping.
 With petroleum, the motor ship. and American inventive genius and energy, we have reasonable prospects of again carrying our own exports and imports on this German basis of 5O- 50; but we must not rely upon natur- al advantages. Coal Oil Johnny will not do the work alone; we must put brains into the tob-brains to the ut most.
 Petroleum is about to effect a trans formation in world shipping much moro remarkable than that which was wrought by steam. The possibiIi- ties are fascinating. Both the oil- burning and the motor ship remove handicaps under which the merchant navies of the world have been steadily degenerating. They reduce operating costs, increase range and f1exibility overcome certain international politi- cal handicaDs in shipping.and improve
