Vera Cruz has the unique record OF
having been twice captured by Ameri-
can forces, once in 1846 when we
were at wal with Mexico. and again in
1917, when we were not at war with
Mexico. However, all we seem to do
with 1t after we get 1t is to give 1t
back again, so its citizens probably
feel little worried at the vjcissitndes
Of war. Indeed. they have recently
raised a statue In honor of the noble
defenders Of Vera Cruz against the

they are adequately protected.

Chicago.-A questionable among

showed, among many interesting
things, that among professors and in
structors whose salaries are less than
$500 the modern SHRED girl" is un-

IF the instructor marries, his wife
must do all the housework for some

But worst Of all, even when the in
structor has worked his way up the
ladder to the position Of associate
or assistant professor tive find him."
the report continues, "still unable to
spend much Of anything for domestic
service. Not even in the group Of men
receiving the salaries of full profess
sors do we find an average expendi-
ture sufficient to pay maids wages
for one year."
At Northwestern the full professor,
so called. receives from $1,000 to
$4,000 yearly.

Famine Follows Fete Among Alaskan

Cordova,. Alaska.-A play, 4 dance
and a feast, winding up a season Of
plenty was responsible for the near
extinction Of the Quigilllngok' tribe Of
natives last winter and spring. &C.
cording to, John 81. Kilbuck, superin-
tendent Of schools for the Kuskokwim
river district.
The famine following the feast, Mr..
Kilbuck said In his annual report to
the bureau of education, caused the
deaths Of at least AZ of the natives.
and would have wiped out the entire
clan had not missionaries come to the
rescue with a supply of food. ~
The tribe, Mr.. Kilbuck said, stored
up great quantities of fish during the
summer and fall seasons.
In celebration Of their good for
tune they invited other tribes to at
tend 'kuvgagyagagg," featured by a
play, a white mans dance" and the
giving away of food. When It was
all over the guests were millionaires
in the currency Of the section, while
the hosts were paupers.
1t will be years, Mr.: Kilbuck de-
clared, before the Quigillingoks recover
from the effects of their generosity.

It Is pointed out that between three

whereas now they are rarely thought

AS to ways and means Of accomplish
ing the desired end, the testimony Of
practical shipowners has been sought
by the senator's. These views have
been placed before the committee ID
the concentrated form Of a statement
from the American Steamship Owners
Association, an organization including
virtually all the American firms own
ing seagoing ships, few being large
companies, but the great majority be-
ing small. Members Of the association
own ships aggregating 1850, 900 tons,
and operate 100000 tons more for
the government, a total six times
greater than the country's deep-water
tonnage before the war.

The views Of. these shipowners,
whose vessels sail from every port In
the country, were presented by the
president Of their association, II. H.
Raymond of New York. Mr.. Raymond
told the senators that as first step to
keeping the flag on the seas, the gov
eminent must charge of the extra war
cost of the new ships. as 1t has charged
off costs on war camps and supplies,
aer6planes and naval vessels, and sell
them at a price that will allow them

for ton, approaching that Of shipown-
ers under other flags.
The unit Of value in q ship is the
lightweight ton that Is, a ship is worth
50 much. for every ton it will carry.
The average war cost Of the merchant
feet is believed to be less than 500 a
ton, but the United States Shipping
Board, which has charge Of the vessels,
has been trying to get more than that
for them, with very few sales. -
Mr.. Raymond told the senators fair
price was 500 ton. and the differ
ence should be charged off as part OF
our expense in winning the, war and
making the continuance Of American
prosperity possible. III.
Competing With the English. =
1t is only by putting some such valu-
alton on the ships that they can be
operated at a profit against the Eng.
lish merchant marine, the representa-
tive Of the shipowners said. To at
tempt competition on trade routes OF
the world with England's formidA
BILE feet, said Mr.. Raymond, on war
cost basis for American ships, would
prove disastrous. To prove his point
the witness submitted figures covering
the charges against capital invested In
two ships Of 10000 tons capacity each,
one under the English flag, valued at
500 ton, the other under the Amerl-
can flag, for sale by the Shipping Board
at 1920 ton. These figures showed A.:
Annual interest charges at 5 per cent
on capital invested, English $4,000,
American $4,000; annual deprecia-
ton, at 5 per cent, English $50, 900,
American $4,000; insurance, English
100000, American $4,000 !. totals, Eng
lish annual charges $130;000, American
$2s8,000; difference in favor of the
English vessel, Sa56, 900.
To Keep Up American Wages. =.
Wages on an American ship Of the
size noted, said the witness, amount to
between $4,000 and $4,000 a. year
more than on the British ship. There
is, no disposition to scale down Ameri-
can wages; but to meet the added
charge the shipowners believe they
should be allowed to charge off 10 per
cent annually as depreciation on their
ships before paying their income tax.
To encourage a continuance Of ship
building in American yards, the ship
owners proposed this plan to the SEN
ators: That ships bought from the
government and kept under the Ameri-
can flag in foreign commerce be ex-
empted from federal excess profit
taxes, on condition that an amount
equivalent to such exemption be in
vested by the owner Of the ships in
additional vessels, to be built in Amer
lean yards. ,FiS =
In response to a question from a
senator If this was government aid to
shipping, Mr.. Raymond made this
reply: r.,
"Of all our great national industries,
American shipowning and shipbuildine
for overseas commerce have been left
without aid and encouragement from
the government-other industries, as
We all know, having long been protect
ed in some degree by our national tariff
laws. We submit that It must be &C
that ocean shfpbuilding
and navigation are as much entitled as
any other Industries to some form Of
national aid against foreign compsu,
