KISSING ONES WIFE
DANGEROUS IN MADRID


Madrid, Sept. IA severe repri
mand and warning not to let the mis-
demeanor occur again has just been
administered to a visitor to Madrid
who, when he assisted his wife into a
cab at the door OF his hotel on the
Puerta del Sol. kissed her good-by.
A policeman on duty close by wit
messed the offense and demonstrated
threatening to take the man to the DO
iice-station, whereupon the visitor-a
traveller in many lands-smiled and
said: do your worst. Take me to the
station-h house and Wen see what the
punishment is for kissing ones wife,
The policeman led him off to face his
captain, who, on hearing the nature of
the charge, was even more severe than

Americas Present Place as Seaaoinu
Nation is Not New.
It was not unusual in early days to
reckon the wealth OF American states
by the number of seagoing ships they
owned. just as today the number of
automobiles owned in proportion to
a states population is accepted as an
indication of prosperity.
Thus, in the year 1779,> Massachu-
sets was reputed to have owned one
seagoing ship for every 100 inhabi-
tants. At that period according to

with population of 100000 pos
sessed a merchant marine of g72,402
tons, or one ton: of shipping for every
six Inhabitants.
This high ratio of tonnage to pop
ulation was practically maintained up
to the period of the civil war when,

worlds second maritime nation. In
1861 America had 2,496.894 tons OF
shipping engaged in the foreign trade
alone, compared to Great Britain's 81
1858 tons.
These figures indicate that the pres

standing is not new to history. 1t is
merely a revival of Americas old time
shipping prestige The new phase is
the rapidity with which that prestige
was revived as indicated by these fig
ures from the Bankers Trust Com
pany's study
In June 1914 the United States pos
sessed only 100000 tons of seagoing
ships. Five years later, in June 1919,
the American tonnage of agoing
vessels was 9,S43,oo0. During these
five years the worlds output of ships
was over 100000 tons and the
United States alone produced more
than half of that tonnage.

OUR ANNUAL FIRE LOSS

The disquieting feature of the annual report of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters is that the
per capita property loss by fire in the United States
enormously exceeds that of any other country in the
world including Russia, and that the loss is increas
ing steadily Leaving out 1906, when the exceptional
San Francisco earthquake and fire DESTROYED more
than $2OO00O000 of material assets and 1918, in
which the figures were adve1titiously swelled by
destruction Of numerous nun 1ons plants, the loss
incurred in 1919 the greatest both total and per
capital in history. 1t was S$325 100000, or ap-
proximatey 100000 for each day in the year.
In Great Britain in the period the per
capita loss was the equivalent Of GIL cents. Leading
countries on the continent of Europe have not
ported as whole but local figures show no marked
departure from the records of past year. For some
of these countries the last yearly figures available
are: Russia, ST. 16: France s. cents; Austria, 81
cents; Germany. Is cents.
The difference is partly due to differences in
construction methods in the countries cited, but the
fact that the situation is growing worse in the u.
S. instead of better cannot b. accounted for in this
way in the fact Of recent progress in fireprOOfng
The view of an underwater Of national reputation,
that "by no means the least important has
the nervous temperament of r,r people," is worth
considering as a factor that can be eliminated in
time The spirit Of haste is kin to that of careless
ness which may rise TO the height IF criminal neg
lect
There is talk arlong fire underwriters Of in
Producing the study of fire prevention into the pub
lie schools Perhaps this would accomplish some
thing But is would seem that wel-thOught-out
rethod of fixing civil responsibility for preventable
fires might offer effective solution Or both
methods MIGHT be tried. The fact stands out that
the destination of S32500000O worth of property by
fire whether not the loss is covered by insurance.
represents 100 per cent waste.
The daily morning oasis., 1920-08-13

Continued talk of strike l;y some of the railroad
unions is out of order and the reXt aing the pro
gram is to ,aise the $6O0,0OO,NU.
1t cannot be raise! out Of thin air and the rail
roads in turn will! have to present their arguments
for increased revenue and the public must pay the
bill
The roads viii as for substantial portion Of
the added burden to lie borne y passenger fares
mu tiple and comnut?tion tickets, Pullman tickets
and nlilg shipments Part Of the remaining in
crease would be placed express rates and the
balance on freight rates.
The portion Of the increased expense tc be alb
sorbed by passenger traffic is expected to amount
to about one-half cent mile in the east and from
three-quarters of cent to cent mile in the west.
The portion to be applied to freight would amount
to per cent.
That an increase in rates will be granted is
foregone conclusion as no industry cen stand $780,
100000 year increase in it's payroll without cor
responding increase in revenue
When public regulation of rates holds returns
allowed transportation companies at low figure it
is impossible to meet such hea ~ increases in operat
ing costs except by proportonate increase in rates
It would be the with any other industry and I'M
der either private or government operation.

THE FUTURE OF WESTERN METALS

Although western metal producers are st,ug-
Cling to keep up production in the face eli ar enorm-
increase in production COSTS, they show little in
clinaton toward pessimism Gold is still the basis,
actual prospective, of the worlds inflated cur
rencies and the demand for the yellow metal was
never more urgent than now.
High authorities also predict that IN time the
copper metal also will come irto it's own.
The Engineering and Mining Journal says: "a
decade or more may produce condition in the cop
per market similar to that now existing in the
petroleum industry.
"We appear to have sufficient number Of
copper mines to supply the demand, but some will
be worked out and disappear ard it is problematica
whether mines can be brought to production fast
enough to cope with the per capita increase in the
CONSUMPTION of copper
when we look at the e,tr-growing electrical
power development, the ever increasing market for
electrical appliances, visualize greater and
greater per capita consumption of copper It is so
with many other meta Is and with minerals Min
ing is inevitable
Mineral discovery is not Us easy as it once was.
Metal and mineral prices rnav be expected to in
crease materially consequence Just as the
porphyrv coppers once thonott IN he too lowerade
to work. have been Improved and methods be-
profitable. VII! other metalEferous deposits
Under the stimulus of nigh prices become workable"

NEED OF MERCHANT MARINE

One of the greatest present needs of the Amer
lean merchant marine, according to A. i. halnes,
vcepresdent and general n.;nager OF the Pacific
Steamship company is to have the five vacancies on
the United States shipping board filled immediately
Numerous questions OF policy matters OF rates and
compensation to the operators and other vital mat
ters he sad all awaiting the action of the pres
dent, as the shipping board Will not take action on
these matters until the new members are appointed.
Mr.. Hanes reasseyted his approval OF the new
merchant marine law and declared that shipping
interests on the other seaboar of the country are
unanimously in FAVOR Ut the w law
Answering criticism of section % Of the new
act, which makes the preferential export ralA rate
ar,,v only freight moving to tidewater for ship
nent N American vessels, MIR. Haines said: Il would
like 10 ask the critics question: IF We guarantee
to move all the freight that j" BROUGHT to this port
how is this port cr any other eeing suffer by the
fact that Jasnese vessels may be discouraged from
conli.g !ere?"
The daily morning oasis., 1920-08-13
PROTECTS AMERICAN SHIPS

GA powerful weapon for the maintenance and
perpetuatiOn OF the American merchant marine on
adequate scale is the Characterization by the At
the Merchant Marine Act, which requires the term
lnatiOn OF those portions OF commercial treaties
with foreign nations restricting the ngnt of the
United State to impose preferential tonnage dues
IN favor of American vessels. The association points
out that the abrogaton of commercial treaties is not
necessary but merely mobilize ton Of some of their
terms, and that the provisions Of the Underwood
