There were 21 souls added to the church, all by vows. All that were converted, joined the church but one.

FEW BUYERS IN MARKET FOR
 WOODEN SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Aug. il (by Asso- ciated Press).-Disposal of more than 1,500,O0O tons of wooden shipping 406 vessels of various types-built as e part of the governments war time merchant marine program is one of the most difficult problems facing the shipping board Twenty-one of the craft, aggregating 82,000 deadweight tons, were offered recently but no buyers could be found.
 Only 194 of these wooden craft are now in operation. Seventy-three are tied up at various ports under manag- ing caretakers and 139 are in storage yards. One hundred and seven of those in Storage are finished hulls while 32 are converted barges.
 Officials of the board says that when the scrviceability of the wood- en fleet has been demonstrated little difficulty will be experienced in turn ing it over to private ownership at about $90 ton. These vessels were built in an emergency, many of green timber, and some of them made poor showings a year and two years ago but now that they have seasoned" officers of the board consider them practicable cargo carriers.
 Because of the bad record of some of the wooden vessels operators have condemned them all, officials declare, whereas, the records of those now in operation show very creditable per- formances. One wooden ship out of six round trips across the Atlantic ocean, at sea 500 days and in port an equal number, was laid up for repairs only 22 days.
 To date 432 wooden and composite ships, aggregating 1,948, 250 dead weight tons, consisting of 322 ships, one tanker, 115 finished hulls, ten sailing craft, 56 hulls coverted into barges and 20 standard barges, have been delivered to the board. A total of 114 vessels, aggregating 397, 7,285 deadweight tons, has been sold and 12 totalling 44,546 tons have been lost at sea.
 The total cost of the construction of this fleet, estimated by the board at $170 a deadweight ton, was approx imately s333,OOO,OOO. Sale of the 100000 tons now held by the board at s9O ton would yield $135,0O0, ,000. Those already sold brought about $2S,0OO0OO so that if the 406 remain ing in the governments possession are disposed of to private owners the total loss through the wooden ship venture would be something like S170,000,0OO.

SEAL CENSUS
 BEING TAKEN
 FISH BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Aug. II (by Asso- ciated Press).-The annual census of the seals, now being taken by the bureau of fisheries is expected to show about 6OO,OOO of the animals, or three times as many as when the government undertook the custody of them half score years ago.
 Although the seal spends much of its life at sea, it's habits make the census-taking very easy. Hugh M. Smith, commissioner of the bureau of fisheries, explains the count of noses" is of importance to prevent "blind killing" of the animals for their furs, possibly resulting in their ex- tinction.
 Under present government control, MT. Smith asserts that the seals are increasing about ten or 12 per cent of their number annually, Last years count showed 55O,O0O of which 26,OO0
 
 In the middle of Boring Sea, lying 40 miles apart, are two islands-St. George and St. Paul the only land to which the seals ever resort. Every spring they visit the islands to raise their young, leaving in the fall to winter in the north Pacific and it is during the summer that the census is taken.
 The killing of the animals is also done in the summer, this under law being confined to the surplus males. Last year lack of labor resulted in 10000 fewer animals being killed than government officials had then planned. Japan and Great Britain, along with the United States, share the revenue produced by the seal kill a treaty giving this country seventy per cent of the animals, with the other two countries each receiving 15 per cent.
 Tn the old days" says MT. Smith, when 100000 seals were being killed annually the government obtained $1O per skin, while we are now getting $40, which nets us about $120 per skin. Increase in the value of furs and the different method of conduct ing the business explains this'
 Besides the sale of pelts, the gov ernment is operating a fertilizer plant on the islands for disposing of the carcass, from which there ilso is extracted an oil used for dressing tops of automobiles.

WOMAN MAKES
 MAIDEN SPEECH
 IN REICHSTAC

BERLIN, Aug. II (by Associated Press).-A little grayhaired, sharp featured woman, stepped briskly up the steps towards the speakers desk in the reichstag. Tired after long acrimonious debate on Germanys shattered resources between the for mer imperial finance minister Helf- ferich and the present holder of that office, Dr. Wirth, most deputies were smoking democratic pipes in the vast, red-carpeted lobby, whilst jaded re- porters munched black bread sand wiches in the press gallery.
 Attention, however, at once became riveted on the frail figure in drab, unfashionable clothes, which oddly entrusted with the opulently carved and gilded figures of Teutonic wom- anhood that support the ceiling.
 The speaker was Clara Zetkin, the first Communist member of the Ger man parliament. Members came trooping in to listen to the newcom- CTS maiden speech.
 One could not escape from sense of extreme contrast which she pre- scented to the former speaker. Helf- ferich, rigid Prussian type, with his naughty, staccato voice, quick as Tightening at mordant repartee, rep- resentative of a system that is dead and gone, and this earnest little woman, vibrant with passionate ener- gy, almost prophetic in her vision, yet curiously awkward at meeting matter of-fact posers from a chance heckler.
 Clar Zetkin opened a perspective of a future Germany which would be closely allied with Soviet Russia; Germany where a revolutionary dictatorship would hold sway; where the bourgeoisie would be forced to surrender arms to the proletariat; where everyone would be compelled to work; where large estates would be divided among the peasantry.
 The house smiled tolerantly; the extreme Radicals alone cheered tu- multuously.
