LITTLE MISS CUTS
FINGER ON BOTTLE

Little Miss Alberta Bury has lived In
This world only two years, but she has
found life is sometimes quite unklnd
even 20 babies. Now everybody knows
what a comfort, consolation and solid
satisfaction a friendly milk bottle is In
an Infants existence. Its timely appli-
cation changes Juvenile cries 10 deep
gurgles and cooing sounds; tear-nlled
blues eyes close in happy slumber. so
when one wraps n chubby list around
the neck Of friend milk bottle and
whacks il against the edge Of ones crib,
and Il breaks and cuts ones rosy, little
thumb we'll, il's pretty tough.
Little Miss Alberta's tiny thumb was
bound up by sympathetic attendants at
the Delaware Hospital this morning and
her tears quenched. The young woman
returned TO her home, at No. 200 East
Seventh street with warm feelings Of
friendship for Delaware Hospital and

THREE AUTOS TO EVERY MILE
OF HIGHWAY IN UNITED STATES

total road mileage in the United
States, outside of incorporated towns
and cities, is about 2,475.0O0 miles,
and a simple long division problem
shows that there are three cars for
every mile of such highway. The
distribution, however. is by no means
SO uniform. New Mexico has but one
car for every two and a half miles
of its public roads, and Nevada has
one car for every mile and fifth.
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi. Mon
tana, North Dakota. Oklahoma, South
Dakota and Wyoming have but one
car or less for every mile and half
of their roads.
Rhode Island. the smallest state,
naturally has the most cars per mile
of road. the average being more than
twenty cars per mile. Massachusetts,
Is second with 1872 cars per mile.
and New Jerseys average is only
slightly less. California holds fourth
place with an average of 7.S cars per
mile.
AS the whole of the District of
Columbia is occupied by the city of
Washington the cars per mile are not
given, but the Washington motorists
help boost the average for the state
Of Maryland, for most of the cars of
the National Capital bear a Maryland

If all the automobiles in the United
States, including pleasure cars and mo-
tor trucks. were placed an equal dis
lance apart on the public roads of the
country, there would be three in every
mile, with a motor cycle thrown in every
ten miles for good measure.
Figures compiled by Andrew P.
Anderson, highway engineer of the
federal bureau Of public roads. show
that there were 7.565.44e motor We
hicles of all types registered in the
fcrty -eight states and the District Of
Columbia during the. calendar year
Of 1918, an increase Of % per cent over
the previous year. This increase alone
amounts to almost 100000 cars. which
is considerably more than the total
number of cars in the entire United
States in 1918. In addition. there were
"a. o3s motor cycles registered during
the last calendar year.
Licenses and registration fees alone
amounted to 364,7o0.oo last year, an
Increase Of 20 per cent over the

with Honduras, Panama and Co.
lombia. In this service the Ship
ping Board has established twenty
three lines, some of which are
operated by private Ameri-
can shipping concerns. operating
ninety-four vessels of 648,504
deadweight tons. During the
month of May of the present year
nineteen vessels of 104,974 dead
weight tons carried 54,sO7 long
tons of cargo to ports on the east
coast of South America from At
lantic and gulf ports.
There are at present ten direct
service lines operating twenty
eight vessels of 1856 dead
weight tons operating from At
lantic and gulf ports to the west
coast of South America and from
the Pacific coast there are four
direct service lines operating to
ports on the west coast. There
are three lines established to Cen
trail American ports operating six
vessels of 23,19O lightweight tons.
Direct cable communications have
been established by the Shipping
Board with Rio de Janeiro, Buenos
Aires and Panama and indirect or
feeder service to Santos, Pernam-
buco and Bahia from Rio de
Janeiro.
One of the greatest difficulties
confronting expansion of our for
eign trade with South America,
Admiral Benson believes, is alb
sence of suitable commercial
language. Americans entering the
South American field are forced to
learn Spanish, as most of the con-
versation will be carried on in
that language. Courses in Spanish

and every effort will be made to
familiarize students of the school
with the necessary commercial
requirements of the language.
Five years ago. shipping men de-
clare, entrance into a South An>c-
lean port of vessel flying the
United States flag was scarce

they say American shipping is as

and the American outstrip all
other competitors in speed of oper-
alton and loading facilities. With

lean service will match up in ex-
cellence Of passenger vessels and
expedition of freight and mer-
chandise with the best of the
transatlantic trade. Special eff
forts are being made by the board
to train young men in practical
operation of ships for the South
American service. To this end
the board has designated Norfolk
as a training base for young men
wishing to enter the merchant
marine service. and is training
them in seagoing routine, at the
same time paying them good
wages during the period of their
apprenticeship.
In conjunction with this prac-
tical training the board has un-
dertaken active cooperation with
the Pa-American School of For
eign Commerce, which opened last
week in Washington. where young
men and women are being taught
the rudimentary principles of
South American trade. Admiral
Benson is a member of the fac
ulty of this school. which is backed
by the Southern Commercial Con-
eress and the american Union.

experts who are members of the

the House, the leaders look for straight
away fight between the republicans and dem
ocrats. II there were other contestants and
no candidate should receive majority OF the
votes of the electoral college the choice OF
President would devolve upon the present
House of Representatives. In such event the
republicans would elect easily, thirty states
have delegations a majority of which are re-
publicans, and the democrats would not have
a ock-in.
Next in importance to the presidency itself
comes the fight for the United States Senate.
Indeed, far the great issue OF interna-

cerned the makeup of the next Senate might
be classed equally important as the choice
of a President. While the country will voice

All indications point to the prospect of the
contest for the Senate being closer than the

is at present close, and only one-third of
its membership is involved in the election this
year Some of the seats are safely republican.
others safely democratic, in most cases Of
