adoption In the senate late yesterday
OF an amendment TO the new ship

This amendment also hits the nub

Axde from the removal OF the for

ships from British to American regis,
try classification as one OF the most
important steps toward building up a
truly American merchant marine, was
indicated at the boards headquarters
today. There attention was called TO
an address he delivered at the Ma.
tional Marine League dinner at the
Commodore Hotel in New York city
on last April I3-after the meeting Of
the board at which the transfer was
decided upon. In this address Ad-
mirsl Benson said:
"We (the Shipping Board) favor
the passage by Congress of a marine
| insurance law that will strengthen
and develop opportunity for home
capital in the marine insurance held
OF this country. Marine insurance, as
IL has been pointed out by those who
are experts in this feld. is more than
a fundamental agency OF commerce.
Its importance extends beyond ordi-

The strategic Importance OF marine
| insurance in upbuilding OF foreign
trade and a merchant marine must be
| considered at all times"
The late war, which started the re-
iuvenation Of. the American mer-
chant marine, also taught the govern
ments engaged in IL the immense
value of having their own inspection
and insurance organizations. 1t Is an
open secret that much of the efffevt-
iveness OF the German submarine was
due to the intimate knowledge Of
enemy ships gained by the surveyors
for German submarine insurane cor
porations before the war. This in
formation also WAS available for the
direction OF bomb placing in ships by
German reservists. Should there be a
new war with a different alignment.
the potential menace to American
shipping that would be removed by
taking it's vessels from one OF foreign
classification and insurance control
needs no comment.

AlRsHlP POSSIBILITIES.

Several American commissions
have recently made an investigation
into the aircraft conditions in diff
ferent parts Of the world, and they
agree that the country has the op-
portunity to lead the world in civil
ian aeronautical activities and as q
market for aircraft in 1920. 1t was
the joint opinion of these commits
sions that the United States is ahead
of all other countries in number Of
planes actually ordered and bought
for civilian purposes, number of
aerial transportation lines being or
gained, actual daily performance of
the aerial mail service, and volume
of mail carried, and possibilities for
the use of aircraft for commercial
purposes, and that the fact that the
post Office has proved that military
planes can be converted into mail
carriers makes possible the utiliza-
ton Of service planes to meet the
immediate demand which manufac-
turers are unable to meet.

HELPED MAKE BOY CRIMINAL
Judges Harsh Structure Discouraged
Younoster Sent to Reformatory
at Age Of Nine.

There is case of a well-known
criminal who started on the down
ward path because judge sentenced
him, at the age of nine years, to a
reformatory, Margaret E. Sangster
writes in the Christian Herald.
"You're bad" said the judge, as he
delivered the sentence. You'll
never know what it is to live clean
decent life--you'll never know what
it is to have a really decent emotion.
You'll come to bad end-you can't
do otherwise !"
And then he dismissed the case
with a wave of his hand. And,
doubtless, he forgot all about it.
But the nine-year-old boy did not
forget. He served his term, snllen-
ly, in the reformatory and when he
was released he went back to wrong
doing as naturally as bird flies
south in the winter time. At the
age of fifty he had served countless
other terms in Sing Sing and vari-
GUS state prisons-he had been a
thief, and BLACKBOARD, and muir
derer. He had done unspeakable
things. And when he was asked
what had really started him on his
life of crime he said eff that judge
long ago had expected me to reform
l would have turned over a new leaf.
But he was SO sure that l was ut
terly bad that he convinced meV

THE SUSCEPTIBLE COW.

Two Chicago children were visit
ing their grandparents on farm
northeast of Muncie. 1t was their
first experience of the kind, and they
were interested in everything they
saw. The milking operation was
especially absorbing. Hitherto their
only knowledge of the origin of milk
was that it came in bottles from the
grocer's.
Discussing the milking a little
later with his sister, Arthur, who is
seven, concluded: "But l amt got
much respect, Helen, for a COW
that's as easy fattered as grandpa's
cows are. Grandpa calls 'em Boss
when they amt boss at all, and that
seems to tickle 'em SO they give up
all their milk, when if they had any
sense they'd keep it for their own
use."- indianapolis News.

FERTILE SPOTS IN ARABIA
Country Largely Desert, but In the
Valleys Figs, Spices and Dates
Are Produced.

In physical character, flora and
fauna, Arabia is more like Africa
than Asia, says bulletin OF the Ma
tional Geographic society. Josephus
called Arabia "a country that joins
on Judea," and Roman geographers
drew a map Of the land that in
Guided Mesopotan.ia and the Syrian
desert back of Palestine.
Yemen, the most southerly and
most populous of the Arabian prov
inces, has many arabic valleys pro
ducing coffee, figs, spices, hides and
dates.
For convenience, the ancients d.
vided Arabia into three parts, the
Stony, the Desert and the Happy.
The high interior plateau is occu-
pied by four great deserts, the Sy-
rian, the Nefud, the Ahkaf, and the
Dehna. Koweit, the busy port OF
the Hasa province, from which
many cargoes of dates, sponges and
q wealth Of pearls are shipped, was
selected by the Germans as the salt
water terminus Of their Bagdad rail-
way. The kaiser's plans, however,
were blocked by clever coup OF the
British who made treaty with the
sheik of Koweit.

SKELETONS ARE IN DEMAND
Shortage Of Gaseous Structures Of HUI
manity 10 Reported-Profiteers
Seemingly Got Busy.

This is not really as gruesome as
it sounds, remarks a writer in Lon
don Answers. The most essential
impedimenta of the medical student
is a skeleton, and at the moment
there is considerable dearth in the
latter commodity.
Before the war, medical men and
students used to purchase the mate
rial required for carrying out an
atomical examinations from Paris.
Now, for some unaccountable rea-
son, the supply has been greatly de-
creased, and, unhappily, the prof
iteer has also stepped in. -Four OF
five guineas was the utmost asked
for a complete skeleton in prewar
times; now the price is at least ten
guineas.
A certain humor is lent to the
situation by the appearance in medi-
cal journals of advertisements ask
ing the loan of skeleton for short
period! 1t recalls the savory con-
versation between Bob Sawyer and
his fellow student, Benjamin Allen,
at the breakfast table, when Ding
ley Dellites were RECALLED with de-
tails concerning the competition for
the possession of skull at 'Bart's."

hour, after the adjournment of the

the holidays. :.
At this point a gray-haired woman

She was Zuckerman's wife, Sarah,
eighty-three years old. She explain

her married life she and her hus-

Father and Fiiance
Stage Race for Girl
From Coast to Coast

NEW YORK. Sept. "9.-Norma
Cole, Is years old, large for her age
and very pretty, was attending to
her business as a clerk in a Jersey
City grocery today when Detective
Harr Gautler of the Jersey City de-
partment and two private electives
walked in and placed her in Gus
tody, thus unfolding the details Of q
romance which had its inception two
years ago in Houston, Texas.
Norma's father, George L. Cole, Is
president of Houston bank and
heavily interested in oil develop
ments. The girl has had her every
wish gratified at home until at an
aviation field near Houston early in
1918 she met Paul Maren, Jersey
City, Maren was about Fl years old
at that time.
The pair fell in love at first sight
but Norma said nothing to her par
ents about her affair. Maren was
sent to France, returning about a
year ago. After a short stay In
Jersey City he went to Houston
where he obtained a position as
clerk in a bank.
Norma had her fifteenth birthday
early in September and decided that
the time had arrived for her to get
married. Her parents refused to
consider the proposition, and Sep
TENDER II she obtained $50 by pawn
ing some jewelry and left Houston
for Jersey City. Arriving at her
destination. she went to. the home OF
Maren's parents.
Maren had promised to join her in
Jersey City, and. said he could ar
range the marriage there. While
awaiting him she got a position in
the grocery store: In the mean
tectives and they located Norma.
Mr.. Cole was notified by his wife
that the girl had been found Mar
ems parents Immediately sent him
a telegram to the same effect. Tele-
grams from Mr.. Cole and Maren
reached Jersey. City this afternoon
stating that they are leaving for
Jersey City on the first train, and
1t looks from here as though they
would engage in a race
The girl positively refused to re.
turn to Houston. She says that If
she is taken back by force she will
run away again and marry Maren.

"At a time like this" she says,
when the dearth Of farm labor is
limiting factor in production, 1t is
very doubtful business policy for
buy more land instead of using a
ing so that women and young people
will not want to go to the cities
in search of attractive living condi-
tions and amusement"
Labor saving appliances in the
home as well as in the field, the
report points out, would give women
a chance they now lose, to realize
the genuine compensations of life
in the open country. \ But as con-
ditions stand, these are the percent
ages arrived at after careful ca1cu-
lations:
Day on Farm Is Long
The farm womans average work
ing day in summer is 1912 hours,
and the year round 1t is 11.3 hours.
And eighty-seven out Of each 100
women have no regular vacation dur
ing the year. Half Of them are up
and at work at o'clock in the
morning.
Forty per cent have water in the
kitchen, but the others must go to
the spring or pump, at an average
distance Of forty feet from the kitch-
en-, to bring water for cooking break
fast. Eighty-one per cent must feed
the poultry-but only sixteen per

cent have the egg money for their
personal use. 1t falls to thirty-six
per cent to help milk the cows, twen-
ty-five per cent to help care for the
livestock, and twenty-four per cent
to spend an aver average Of gig weeks eek;
twelve per cent of the women have
assistants, and these only for about
three and one-half months of the
year.
On the average, the farm woman
has a seven-room house to keep in
order. Kerosene lamps must be
trimmed and filled by seventy-nine
per cent; ninety-six per cent do the
family washing; ninety-four per
cent bake all or part of the bread
used and sixty per cent make the
butter. Only twenty-six per cent
have gas or electric irons.
... Farm Engine Can Help
F'orty-eight per cent Of farms COW
cred by the survey reported power
for operating farm machinery, but
only twenty-five per cent have this
assistance for the home.
THAT" says Miss Ward, ais q
singular fact, when we consider that
frequently it is a simple matter to
connect the engine used at the barn
with the household equipment"
Running water is found In only
thirty-two per cent of these homes
although in forty-eight per cent
water is obtainable by some arrange
ment in the kitchen. Ninety-twc
per cent of the woman do some or
all of the family sewing; fifty-four
per cent care for the coal or wood
range.
And so 1t goes. In addition to all
these things, each farmers wife does
all the hundred and one odds and
ends which are part of the day OF
any housewife, in city, village or
country.

Uncle Sam wants to take the

they appl yto farmers wives.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has made a farm-home
survey, covering 10,015 farm homes
