stock market circles assert, IL two
or three Of the Standard companies

The companies in the past were
always averse to making quarterly

But this aversion has passed and
the present guiding lights of the
Standard coh1 panles are said to real
lie that the public generally is en-
titled to this Information.

authority, will be the New York COM

likely follow suit, and in the course

NEEDS Federal AID.

That the American merchant mar
Inc is in need of Federal aid was
brought out yesterday when Robert
Dollar, head of the Dollar Steamship
Lines, arrived in New York on the
Cunard liner "Caronia" from Cher
bourg and Southampton.
In discussing the steamship situa-
tion, Mr.. Dollar said that cargo ships
now are selling at S72 a ton whereas
about six months ago they were SELL
ing at s175 ton He declared that
competition which eventually would
prove ruinous had set in the freight
handling trade.
He cited as an instance OF this that
the rate on timber from Canada to
England a short time ago was 200
shillings a ton. 1t Is now down to
100 shilliugs ton. He said that
England is our chief competitor and
that America must change its present
shipping laws to avoid loss.

In other words. it consumes
all the heat units in the gas,
thereby making it possible
with but one burner Lit on
the Scott Gas Range to cook,
and heat the water in the
water tank, affording an ever
ready supply of hot water.
With two burners lit, because
of its patented construction,
it cooks. bakes and heats the
water, at the same time using
all the heat units in gas.
Once you see it in operation
you quickly realize that it is
the final word in Gas Ranges.
Investigation and tests by gas
experts in the employ of some
of the largest gas companies
in America, show that beyond
all peradventure of a doubt
the Scott Gas Range is the
greatest improvement in Gas

in the Gas Range industry
since its infancy.

FACE no FACE WITH A PROBLEM.

which was completely successful in It's War Service,
has received little credit for It's work because 1t
cooperated so closely with other welfare organizations
II sought no credit but the association, back home,
finds itself face to face with 2 grave problem.
It finds that the public libraries Of the country receive
an income Of only si65OOOOo year, while adequate
income would be six or seven times that amount.
That only 79 or T per cent of the 1864 counties Of the
United States have within their boarders any library
Of 5000 volumes more.
That thirty States less than so per cent OF their
populations States less than 10 percent and one less
than per cent
The American Library Association feels obligated to
remedy this situation II must stimulate interest both
among the foreign born and the American born in the
books that make for better citizenship and It must urge
the extension OF library systems, particularly in the
rural counties and the establishment OF more business
and technical Libraries.
The libraries Of the country will obtain fund sum
cient to put this program into practice although there
will be no intensive drive. The association is preparing
an educational campaign and asks the support Of
