HAVE TO WAIT TO UNLOAD
Shipping Congestion at London Docks
Said to Be of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scribes the Victoria and Albert docks
at Tilbury as being crowded to their
fullest capacity with big ships" many
of which look absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be I'M
loaded because there is nowhere to
put their cargoes." OF ships carrying
Australian meat 1t is said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to a
month for berth and to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, I'M
loading and reloading." Inefficiency of
labor is in large degree responsible,
for the average discharging output per
shift of ID men in a nine-hour day has
been reduced from 100 to SO tons. The
cause is partly the loss of many good
men in the war, partly loafing on the
job to make work for as many men as
possible. Congestion of the ports is
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, to state control over rail-
roads, and to reduction of the hours of
labor. By these means the carrying
power of ships has been reduced at
least 30 per cent below pre-war stand
ards.

Iceberg Was an Acrobat

Not far from the spot where the II.
tanic was sunk by an iceberg In April
1912. a fleet Of IA icebergs, some Of
them rising to more than 100 feet
above the water line, were sighted by
the steamship Munaires on a recent
voyage.
Captain Fleming of the MunaIres
says that one of the bergs gave a re.
markable exhibition of tumblIng as the
vessel sailed past. II had apparently
lost good deal of its under water
weight through the action of the warm
sea water, and as they watched II the
great iceberg suddenly tipped to star
board and rolled over with an immense
splash. As it fell. big section of the
top broke away, with the result that
the balance was altered and the berg
tumbled back again. Then, lust as II
was righting itself. another section
broke OFF, and 1t tumbled once more.
The sight was most unusual ONE

Thread In Manchuria

Almost all of the 100000 worth of
cotton thread imported annually into
Manchuria comes from Japan, partly
because japanese manufacturers have
the advantage over possible competI-
tors of government encouragement and
support, and partly because there has
been little competition from those suf-
hciently interested In this market to
study rs requirements as have the
japanese, says the New York Times,
Goods were placed with merchants
on consignment until they became
known, were extensively advertised
and are now sold on liberal credit ba.
Sis so that American manufacturers
entering the market will not only have
TO compete on quality basis. but
should adopt similar methods of push
ing their goods.

Rea! Neighborliness.

An interesting experiment in neigh
borliness has been carried on for near
ly year in part of Toledo which Is
populated almost exclusively by Polish
immigrants and their descendants. The
Polish Business Mems club of the dis
trict conceived the idea that the needy
Polish families In the community
should be taken care of in a neighbor-
ly way, rather than by charity organi-
cations. The latter were requested not
to extend aid in the district, but TO
notify the cldb, so that it might meet
all emergencies. This is not done from
the club treasury, however. An inves-
tlgation is made TO determine whether
the need is for money, supplies or
work, and the other residents of the
block, including the tradesmen, are
then Informed that their neighbors
need their assistance, which. the club
reports. is always forthcoming.

MORO A DANGEROUS FANATIC
Believes Eternal Bliss to Be His N
He Meets Death While Killing
Christians.

The psychology of Mohammedanlsm
is incomprehensible to persons reared
in the atmosphere and teachings Of
American Christianity. With us the
separation Of church and state is as
much a matter OF course as the air we
breathe. With us suicide is immoral
and the killing of an unbelieyer is
crime punishable with death. The Mo
hammedan has no conception of ecclesi-
astical and state law. There is only
one law, the Koran; and while in fact
the priest aud the ruler may be diff
ferent persons, they are different only
in functional way, like a Judge and
an executive in our government. The
spiritual ruler is also temporal ruler.
as was Mohammed In his day. The
killing of Christians is a virtue that
merits everlasting bliss In paradise.
The martyrs of the early Christian
church burned with no more consum-
Ing ardor than the humble, ignorant
Mohammedan peasants who swear be-
fore the priest that they will go forth
and devote their lives to killing Chris
tans. Mohammedans who have sworn
TO kin Christians are called in the
Philippines juramentados, from the
Spanish, meaning one who has sworn
or taken an oath. Up to a decade ago
II was no uncommon occurrence in
1olo for Moro fanatic to conceal his
bolo knife. or kris, In basket of
fruit until he had passed the guard
ar the gate of the walled town. then
draw his blade and cut right and left,
killing man, woman or child. with

this indomitable will to kill that gave
the Christian Filipino his mortal fears

immunity From whoopins Cough.

DIR. t. Luzzati of Rome was called
to three different houses. in each of
which a child had begun to cough. In
each case he suspected that 1t might
be whooping cough; therefore, as a
precaution. he vaccinated all the broth
ers and sisters with an anti-whooping-
serum. Ten days later his suspicion
was confirmed by the typical whoop,
but in no case did one of the other
children catch the disease, though no
attempt at isolation was made.
In reporting this to Policltnics
(Rome) Doctor Luzzati says he has
found no benefit from vaccination once
the disease has become pronounced.
