Export Trade at Baltimore

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, July 24.-Delay in the
movement of freight into Baltimore
for export during the week ending to-
day has cost operators of the ships
at anchor in the harbor more than
81, 500, 900. according to estimates of
men familiar with the costs entailed
in operating ships.
The loss ultimately will be passed
on to the public, and is one of the
cost of living, in the opinion of one
of the economists making q study OF
the situation.
Analysis of Situation.
William NJ. Britain of the export
and import board of trade shows that
every ship at anchor in Baltimore
harbor bears daily expense of $4,000
to $4,000. Figures Of the customs OH
Gals show that there were eighty
seven ships at anchor in Baltimore
harbor yesterday. making the total
expense for idle ships between $780,
900 and s250,000 for the day, with no
income to compensate for the loss.
The number of ships at anchor this
week has varied from seventy-five to
ninety a day: the total weekly loss.
therefore, has been in the neighbor
hood of $1.500,000.
this enormous expense. If they did,
said one steamship agent yesterday.
they would be bankrupt in a few
months The expense must be borne
directly by the man or concern that
charters the ship. or by the party
furni shing the cargo, or be divided
between the owner and the operator,
according TO the terms of the con-
tract
There are two general causes for
the delay and the necessity of lying
at anchor for many days before the
ships get to piers. The coal situation
is one and the shortage of cars and
the delay in moving general freight
is the other. There are other causes.
but they are insignificant when COM
pared to the first two.
Chief Costs Involved.
The chief costs in the upkeep of
ship. as set forth by Mr.. Britain. are
these: Interest on investment, insur-
ance, depreciation, wages and subsist-'
ence of officers and crew operating
the ship. These costs must be paid
as long as the ship is idle. They are
as great, with but slight difference,
as if the ship was earning money.
Local marine men believe that the
worst of the congestion is over es-
pecially in the general cargo trade.
Yesterday the number of ships in port
was 14S, whereas week or so ago it
was above 10.

HIGH-ARCUED FEET

nURlNG the course of the past
- summer dozens of girls wrote to
me on the ACCESSIBILITY of spending the
tiine barefoot mt summer or seashore
resorts, where there was enough
seciusion to permit this freedom of
dressing. Most wanted to know
whether or not 1t would improve
thelr feet, Barefoot Lassie" being
especially anxious as her feet were
white and pink tinted, smooth and
shapely.
Undoubtedly, so long as none Of
these girls ran nails into their feet,
the weeks spent running about so
would improve their health. But it
would not improve their feet, for no
matter how healthy our savage an
cestors were, in their "close to
Nature" life, no one could accuse
them of possessing really beautiful
feet.
The mere fact of going barefoot
would not break down the arch Of
the foot and make it fiat. as some of
my correspondents feared, but it
would brown and tougher the skin

very serious misStep. He practiced
absolute honesty in all his relation
ships. His father, drunken although
ne was in his later years. had never
quite lost his sense of commercial up-
rightness, and Dave had inherited the
quality in full degree. And Reenie
Hardy had come into his life Just when
ne needed a girl like Reenie Hardy
~ come INTO his life. He
often thought of Reenie Hardy, and
OF her compact with him, and won
dered what the end would be. He was
glad he had met Reenie Hardy. She
was an anchor about his soul.
And Edith Duncan.
While the gradually deepening cur
rent of Dawes life flowed through the
channels OF coal HEAVIER, freight ham
dier, shipping clerk and reporter it's
waters were sweetened by the init
mate relationship which developed be-
tween him and the members of the
Duncan household. He continued his
studies under Mr.. Duncans direc-
tons; two, three, and even four nights
in the week found him at Work in the
comfortable den, or, during the warm
weather. on the screened porch that
overlooked the family garden. Mrs.
Duncan, mOtherly, and yet not too
motherly-she might almost have been
an Older sister-appealed to the young
man as an ideal of womanhood. Her
soft. well-modulated voice seemed to
MIN to express the perfect harmony
of the perfect home. and underneath
Its even tones he caught glilnpses or
reserve of power and judgment not
easily unbalanced. And as Dawes eyes
would follow her the tragedy of his
own orphaned life bore down upon
him and he rebelled that he had been
denied the start which such a mother
could have given him.
II am twenty years behind myself"
he would reflect, with grim smile.
Never mind. l will do three mems
work for the next ten, and then we
will be even."
And there was Edith-Edith who
had burst SO unexpectedly upon his
life that first evening in her fathers
home. He had not allowed himself
any foolishness about Edith. 1t was

evident Edith was pre-empted, just as
he was pre-empted, and the part of
honor in his friends house was to rec
ogniZe the status quo. Still,
Mr.. Allan Forsyth was unnecessarily
self-assured. He might have made 1t
less evident that he was within the
enchanted circle while Dave remained
outside. His complacence irritated
Dave almost into rivalry. But the
bon camaraderie of Edith herself
checked any adventure of that kind.
She was Of about the same figure as
Reenie Hardy-a little slighter per-
haps; and about the same age; and
she had the same quick, frank. eyes.
And she sang wonderfully. He had
never heard Reenie sing, but in some
strange way he had formed deep
conviction that she would sing much
as Edith sang. In love, as In religion.

First, Robin thought of how he had

to tell him 1t served him right for driv-

his little head and he decided to try
it.
Away he flew to the very tree Jimmy
had driven him from and, picking the
biggest cherry he could find, away he
flew and gave 1t to Jimmy
Again and again he made the trjp
back and forth until Jimmy Crow had
to say he could eat no more.
