.ST.LOUIS FIRST
|. TO BID FOR SHIPS
Midwest City Asks 20
Steel Vessels of 5000
Tons Each.

The Shipping Board has received
its first bid for ships. The offer,
strange to say. did not come from
a seacoast town. but from st. Louis,
city which is thousands OF miles
from the ocean.
1t wants twenty steel ships, each
OF 5000 tons. and 1t says that Its
greatly increased foreign trade makes
the possession of these vessels i'm
perative.
Now that ST. Louis has led the way,
the Shipping Board Il ready for an
avalanche OF bids, mainly from sea-
coast towns and cities having direct
water transportation to the ocean.
The st. Louis bid was made Jointly
by the Chamber of Commerce and
the Mississippi Valley Trading and
Navigation Company.
st. Louis port of departure is ex-
pected to be New Orleans, as the
Mississippi is not navigable for ocean
steamships as far up as the juncture
OF the Mississippi and Missouri riv-
ers.
The hid. however. will do much. it is
believed. in the campaign for the
deepening of the river so as to admit
deep sea carriers above the New Or
leans harbor. For the present Mis-
souri, shippers will use barges for the
transportation of their products to
the sea.
The operating and construction di-
visions of the Shipping Board have
already been ordered to plan a fleet
suitable for the trade requirements of
the Midwest city.
Memphis is. another river city which
is taking an interest in a merchant
marine. Its chamber of commerce is
organizing a 100000 corporation to
purchase and operate ships from New
Orleans.

knife with which he had been oper-
ating on the steak.
Sadie yelled and ran out. Charlie
was three jumps behind her. The wom-
an sought refuge in a neighbor's s
house until a cop was summoned.
''Jes tryin' to talk to nah wife," ex-
planned Charlie. "Ah aint de kind of
