TALKS OF SHIPPING BOARD
Admiral Benson Thinks Reports OF
Financial Condition Erroneous.

commenting on reports that the
shipping Board was in bad financial
condition. Chairman Benson said last
night that he believed the statements
were erroneous. He said he thought
the merchant marine was possibly do
ing somewhat better than paying ex-
penses.
A report is now being prepared, and
VIII be made public, the chairman
said. He added that data available
now indicate a steady increase in ex-
penses. At the same time costs of
ship construction are falling. al
though the twenty-six passenger and
cargo vessels being built by the
board will mean a total outlay of
about $140,00O,OOO.
Private business concerns would
balance many items necessarily
charged off by the board, he said.
Work for other government depart
ments was generally without pay, he
added. there being claims against the
War Department for nearly $780, 900,
not including SS0.O0O.000 spent in con-
structing eleven new transports. Oil
for the Navy is carried without pay
ment. he said. and a number of tank
ers have been turned over to the
Navy. 80
Operators Of Shipping Board ves-
sells are generally showing a profit
or paying expenses, the chairman
said. and an investigation into the
efficiency of the various operators is
being conducted to weed out those
who may be making bad showing.

HOLD CELEBRATION
Dr.. and Mrs. John E. Moore
Entertain Friends on Mar
riage Anniversary.

DR.. and Mrs. John E. Moore of 2713
P street, hope to celebrate soon their
platinum wedding anniversary, if there
is any such thing. Last Thursday DR..
and Mrs. Moore gave a large party in
honor Of the sxty-eighth anniversary
Of their marriage and that being al
most twenty years after their golden
wedding. they think they are entitled to
another real anniversary in a short
while. Both are hale and hearty and
expect to pass many more milestones
together.
DR.. Moore OF Years of Age.
DR.. Moore is ninety-one years old and
Mrs. Moore is almost eighty-siN. and
they have both lived practically their
lives in Washington. Mrs. Moore hav-
Ing been born here, and Mr.. Moore hav-
ing come here in 1888. at the age of
three, from his birthplace. Fort Mon
roe. Va. They have eight children
seven great-grandchildren. In the late
fifties and early sixties DR.. Moore op-
Grated a drug store before he received
his doctors degree. but since that time
up until only few years ago, he prac-
ticed medicine. He says he has seen
Washington grow up from its infancy
Both he and Mrs Moore told Star
reporter that. after living here for near
ly century. they were afraid to so
out alone for fear of getting lost.
Talk of Early Washington.
"washington used to be city Of
magnificent distances. but now it is a
city of apartment houses" Mrs. Moore
said. And then she and DR.. Moore
told of the time when they lived on
H street near 18th. when the Potomac
came up almost behind the White
House; when it was considered un-
healthy to go north of H street or
even south as far as where the pres
ent street is, because of the
swamps: how a stream flowed down
New Hampshire avenue: now the cows
were .tethered in the fields along Con-
necticut avenue, and how he and his
friends would skate in winter on the
large pond at 18th and H streets. He
says he looks for all these old haunts
when he goes out riding. but that he
can never find single distinguishing
sign.
Keeps Up Spirit of Youth,
DR.. Moore.is stilF keen fisherman.
having been off on trip as late as
last spring. He changed from a pipe
to cigarettes several years ago to
keep pace with the spirit of youth.
and although he says he once thought
a man of ninety was a drag on HUI
manity, he now finds that there are
many ways in which he can be of
service to his fellow men.

What Is Thrift?

Answers to this question collected by midwest exchange which recently published sym posium of the views of eighteen men, prominent in public business life. in education and in journal ism. The answers contributed suggestive, in spring and helpful counsel of the kind very much needed at the present time when habits principles of economy and thrift have been invaded by the temp tation spend too freely and unwfsely when ings and profits unusually large.
 Though all these answers were couched in diff ferent language there was general agreement upon the definition of thrift general agreement that thrift does not mean miserliness and selfishness.
 Nobody put the matter in better terms or more suarev hit the mark than President t-elect Harding furnished another illustration of the clear thinking which MT Harding has shown himself to be in the habit of doing and the felicity of expression he is abIe 10 employ said MT Harding

 As Mr. Hibbs dashes hurriedly into his clothes. he wonders who on earth it can be who has called him up in such a fashion. Is it the red haired flapper he met the other evening. who asked him to join a hiking club, and who inquired so insistently as to how she could reach him on the 'phone2 No; it couldn't be. He is sure that he didn't tell her about the drug store. Too bad he hadn't. Ah, now he knows who it is-it IS Brown, of course, who has come to town. found out where he is and called him up. Only Brown would think of calling him from the nearest drug store. It will be great to see Brown again--alWays was an en- ltertainipg chap

prunkenness and contraets

The supreme court of New York is outside of our appellate Jurisdiction. yet we think may impropriety dissent from its opinion of last Friday, that employe may not be discharged for drunkenness on showing that he has been drunk only once, or rather. failure to show that he has been drunk more than once. In this the em- ploye was under contract, suppose, for stated term have not been apprsed of the terms of the contract but we suppose there was a clause in it under which the party of the second part covenanted and gareed to remain sober during the life of the contract At any rate, there must have been some term or terms under which the party of the first part would have been protected against incompe- ence or misdeeds on the part of the employe which would unfit him for the discharge of the duties he had undertaken to perform.
 A single instance of drunkenness though it may not have occasioned great loss. any loss his employers would have filled them with distrust of him. If he had violated the plain meaning of the contract once he might do so again and probably would do so again. An employe whois Instructed cannot be a good employe and contract would not be entered into with whom his employers would not believe to be good empoye.
 The decision states that the courts are not ranted in attempting to erect higher standard than that set by average mankind in the community" The court this case was required set no stan dard That had been done by the contract A pri- vate employer has right to entertain peculiar and individual regarding the qualifications employe though there may be no other man in the community sharing such notions Nor more pertinent is the observation of the court that the time may come when intoxication will be such disgrace single instance it will be sufficient to justify the discharge of servant by his master because of it." But whatever public opinion in any community be, may be at future day. has nothing to do with the effect the insobriety of employe his masters business. Nor has it anything to do with contract which is not in it's terme illegal
 We presume that the defendant firm in this case did take into consideration in it's discharge employe the immortality of the act, the dis grace of it. The firm was concerned only with the effect of 1t it's business
 But if the court right the promulgation of the doctrine that single instance of drunken ness is not sufficient warrant the discharge employe bound by contract not to get drunk, it erred in not fixing for the information employers and employees, just how many trunks it takes to the breaking a contract-two four six or Here left on debatable ground is the honest seeker after truth when inquiries: When is drunk?"

Why "seembop Still Lives

We do care much for vers fibre unless it possesses something more than intrinsic merit but have perused with interest the near tragedy of "Beembo" in the latest issue O Camel Back" in which the editor author appears would have himself appear relented fell purpose run "Beembo." Mexican hound. down with his automobile because he had heard the voice of child calling 'Beenbo. Beembo, Bee-embo.9
 We might have believed but for line in the poem that the automobist at the last had Beembos life is, but for the line all human experience. and futile endeavor to down dog which chases automobile, snapping the tires Tn all aforesaid human experience it has been done. Have you tried strike charging dog with club? Have you ever noticed that he is never within the perimeter of the circle described by the swinging weapon? is hard enough for unpracticed man hit alert dog with half brick. How then, impossible it hit him with unwieldy missile automobile.
 it sounds nice when the Camel Back editor writes:
 But who could run down
 The pet of child with
 Such pleading cry?"
 Many person has been turned from criminal purpose by the voice of child The books are full of stories of burglars who encountered little children wandering about the otherwise sleeping household. They have only foregone the burglary nj hand but all burglaries and than that they have been put in the their salvation then and there.
 But the last line is the give away the expose the true explanation of rescue of Beembo from the juggernaut:
 Damn you, Beembo.'
 There we see as plainly if we were there, that the "careening car' missed Beembo Hence 4he poetic profanity. If the poet had continued the free verse from this point it would have something like this:
 But I'll get you next time,
 You, cursed Mexican hound.
 You cannot always escape
 My wrath and careenng car'
 You'll have your day
 Every dog has his
 I'll drive straighter next
 With accurate, fatal aim
 Damn you again. Beembo
 Au revor but good bye"
 Thus was Beembo's life spared, just granted a forced reprieve. Here see. is a poet with the instincts of dogcatcher posing in free verse as the patron saint of innocent childhooda fivvered Santa Gus. But what expect of vars fibre? That's all it's fit for.
