MERCHANT SHIPS
 CAN BE OPERATED
 UNDER U. 5. FLAG
Hurley Says They Can Be Oper. ated as Profitably as Under
 Any Other Flag

NEW YORK, March 13.-Under private ownership and operation. merchant ships can succeed. as well under the American flag as under any other, declares Edward N Hur- ley, former chairman of the United States Shipping Board.
 MT. Hurley advocated the early sale of the government-owned fleet, but said, ''it must not be concen- trsted in the hands of few large shipping companies"
 He explained that nearly 800 steamship companies now are or ganized, many of them successfully engaged in foreign trade. By Sep tember of this year, he added. the governments fleet will consist of ap- psoximately 1000 steel vessels to- talling II 1,000,000 tons and if these companies can be induced to take six ships each the problem will be solved.
 From an investment standpoint Mir. Hurley pointed ont that shipping presented attractive possibilities, even at present tonnage prices. He expressed he belief that freight rates and shipbuilding cagts will remain high for at least five years.
 ''Tbe main reason why American investors can afford to buy the government cargo fleet at present prices he asserted. .'ig tlai S0 per cent of if is oil fired. while today only five per cent. of Great Bri- tain's merchant fleet rses oil and shipping under other flags is worse off"

COMMUNITIES NO
LONGER ISOLATED
Automobile Brings All
Parts Within Easy
Reach

Thanks to the automobile, the
nations small communities are no
longer isolated from the services of
the great doctors and physicians,
thereby adding one more link to the
reasons why farm life is becoming
more attractive" says local auto
mobile dealer.
ITO quote a recent edition of a
prominent medical journal. 1T now
takes no longer for doctor living in
the city to run out twenty or thirty
miles into the country to visit pa
tents, than it did for the same doc
tors ten years ago to hitch up the
old nag and drive out two or three
miles. With the multiplication Of
hard roads, the automobile can be
used the year round. And in conse-
quence the area readily accessible to
larger towns has grown larger and
larger
"The more a community is pro-
tected through the services of prOmi-
nent physicians and doctors, the bet
ter the health record of that COM
munity will be. Before the automo-
bile it was a question of getting the
patient to the city SO that the SER
. vices of the expert could be avail
able. Today the automobile has
changed this procedure and no mat
ter how busy or successful the city
specialist may be through the aid of
his automobile, he can cover three or
four times the area Of his activities
and see three or four times more pa
tients in the same length Of time that
It formerly took in the olden days
when he had to depend on horse
flesh transportation"

From the installation of the first
saw mill on the western hemisphere
at York, Me-, about 1923, down to
the present time, the white pine for

industrial supremacy of the nation
as the products of these forests.
For almost three hundred years

Protection of Dye Factories Will Give Britain Prepar- edness fer Poison Gas Warfare.
[RepubIIean A. ?. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-By the passage of the dyes stuffs import reg ulations act, Great Britain has defi- nitely accepted the theory that poison gas will be the supreme weapon of the next war and at the same time has man dyes into this country. according to the views expressed tonight by chemical experts of the government.
 The British act. which became a law yesterday, prohibits the importa- tion of dyestuffs into Great Britain for 10 years, which government ex- perts declare, will enable England to built up her dye industry to a point of complete independence from the outside world. Poison gas and dye stuffs both come from coal tar, it was explained. and from the manufacture of the commercial article to the pro- duction of military weapon is but an other step in a continuous process. By insuring the development of the dye industry, chemical experts here said Great Britain has laid the ground work for possible widespread use of gas in warfare as chemical factories car turn from the manufacture Of dye stuffs to the production of poison gas practically at will.
 Direct competition in this country OclHSen GeEHld1E ana American made dyes also is seen by officials here as result of the British dye-stuffs act While the act prohibits the importa- tlon of dye products into the United Kingdom, the restriction does not ap- ply to goods imported for exportatior after transit through the United King dom or by way Of trans shipment Under the present war trade board regulations. officials explained. dye. may not be imported into this coun- try when it can be shown they are o German origin.
