U. S. and GERMAN
ship Lines merge
AMERICAN VESSELS WILL USE
TRADE ROUTES OF HAMBURG
AMERICAN LINE.
PLAN HAS o. X. OF GOVERNMENT
Chairman Benson, Of Shipping Board,
Announces That Agreement Has
Been Made For 20 Years.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF Ameri-
can ships on former German trade
routes to all part Of the world has the
sanction and support OF the shipping
board, Chairman Benson announced
in making public cooperative working
agreements reached between the Am
erican Ship and Commerce corpora
ton OF New York and the Hamburg
American line of Germany.
In HIS summary OF the agreements
the chairman declared "the shipping
board would look forward to seeing
one of it's constructive plans carried
out"
The agreement is for 20 years and
consists, the chairman said, of a gen.
to be followed by the two concerns
and an operating agreement covering
the methods OF carrying out the plan.
In general it provides each party may
participate with an equal amount OF
tonnage in such passenger and freight
service as shall be established, which
will include those between the United
States and Germany and Germany
and ports OF the world other than the
United States
Pier facilities, ports and Office or
ganizations of both companies are
placed at the disposal OF the service.
The American Ship and Commerce
corporation is to act as agent for the
Hamburg-American line In United
States ports and the German company
as agents for the American company
in German ports, but each company
may establish Offices in the country Of
the other to supervise activities there.
Each company is to appoint it's own
agents outside of Germany and the
United States
The Hamburg line may
transfer any service to any other Ger
man company for execution and the
American corporation may transfer
service to any American company, but
both parties remain responsible for
the carrying out OF the services.
Passenger service between the Uni
ted States and Germany is to be in
operation within year.

RUBY is JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed Off on the pub
lie it is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than II is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that If a ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power of seeing
in the dark. One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed, however. possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
of it's color it forewarned it's wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead in linen cloth 1t
was believed to be specific for dis
ease Of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Give Proof That Birds Are Still the
Undlsputed Champions In the
Flying Game.

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs Of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in a re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes In South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by a happy chance at the other
end Of the world. One nesting ringed
in Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February Of the next year I;
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by J. II. Whitherby, editor of British
Birds.

Rheumatism Comes
From Tiny Pain Demons

Disease Caused by Germs In the
Blood.
First of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments in
the world have no effect whatever
on rheumatism. You may use
them by the gallon. and rub the
painful parts by the hour, getting
possibly some temporary relief
from the torturing pains, but you
are making no headway whatever
toward reaching the cause of the
disease.
Medical scientists differ as to the
causes of every form of rheuma-
tism. but agree that when caused
by a tiny disease germ, the only
effective method of treatment is to
attack the disease at it's source,
and cleanse. the blood of its cause.
