insurance Is done in American insurance
companies and only about 30 per cent
OF all kinds of our marine insurance.
Most of our insurance Is done by alien
companies. This gives them a power
which they use to the advantage Of their
country in many ways. This must be
changed. We seek to do this and hope
to have the greater part of our marine
insurance done in American companies.
Trade With Philippines
The trade between the Philippine
Islands and the United States is Of the
value of about 500, 10000 year.
1t ought to be carried in American
ships. The shipping act extends our
coastwise laws to the Philippine Islands
with provisions fully protecting their
interest by insuring them adequate serv-
ice when these laws go into effect.
Our people must become financially
interested in shipping. Investments
shou Id be made in ships and shipping Sc
curities. Before a man will invest his
money, however, he must feel sure that
he will get it back. There Is no security
to mortgages on ships under the law
as it has been. We have attempted to
change this. Mortgages are made secure
against subsequent claims except those
of a certain special character. II the
courts hold the law to be as the trainers
of the mortgage provision believe 1t to
be ship mortgages will be secure, and II
they hold the contrary the law soon will
be changed.
"Not Sunday School Picnic"
Commercial relations have been
turned upside down by the war nations
are abrogating treaties that are contrary
to their interests. European powers are
freeing themselves from treaty provi-
sions that will hinder them in the strug-
gle for the worlds trade. We have been
prevented from doing what many thought
would be done to aid our merchant ma :
rine by treaties entered into many years
ago.
This is a splendid time to unshackle
ourselves and put ourselves in a posi-
tion to make such treaties, to enter into
such commercial relations and to enact
such laws as we think will promote our
welfare in the worlds reimbursement.
Other nations will look after their in :
tercsts. We must look after ours.
"We are entering no brotherly love
Sunday school picnic in seeking our
part of the worlds carrying trade. Fair
means and foul will be used to defeat
us. Fierce assaults will be made upon
us from every angle. No meek turning
of the cheek will win. We must fight
back and fight hard to maintain our
selves and every honorable means must
be used to advance. Other nations will
make concessions to attain certain ad-
vantages. We have it in our power to
secure concessions that we should have.
We must use this power wisely. iustlv
be used to greater advantage than In
connection with our merchant marine.

TT is generally believed that fireworks
i had their origin in China, but this
Is not certainly known. 1t is certain
that they existed long before the inven-
ton Of gunpowder, and it Is equally
certain that they were used in the days
of the Roman circus, although the first
unimDpachablc description of n set piece
was not given until the fourth century.
After this there is no trace of them
until the Crusaders brought back with
them TO Europe a knowledge of the in
Cendiary compounds of the East and
guupOwder made its appearance.
From this time on the evolution OF
fireworks was rapid, and for several
centuries the Italians held supremacy
in their manufacture. BY 1850 they
were known all over Europe. The
original step in their manufacture was
military, like their origin, but IL rap
idly progressed to the point where the
freworker became something Of a scenic
artist who could devise a romantic back
ground and fill it with shapes bizarre,
beautiful or terrifying,
THESE grotesque ideas in time gave
l. place to something more delicate,
and more refined taste rejected the
bizarre features Of the old displays.
artistic merit began to creep into the
designs and, above all, efforts were made
to introduce something appropriate TO
the occasion to be celebrated. A Fourth
Of July display without the American
flag in some Of the set pieces would now
be considered lacking, and yet this ele-
ment OF appropriateness was one OF the
last to come into the making of pyro-
technics.
Fireworks have an important and st
ting place In our national celebrations.
II is only the handling OF them by those
unskilled 10 their use that the authori-
ties are trying TO reyYlets.
