The New Necklets,

Side by side with the vogue Of head
bags is the fad for bead and novelty
necklets. A tendency toward rather
plain tailored styles in street suits
and one-piece costumes this season
has given the manufacturers of nov
city jewelry ample excuse for bringing
out new designs that will brighten and
enhance the rather severe appearance
of milady's costume. carefully
chosen string of Jade or amber will do
wonders to the navy or brown one

riety of beads is wonderful painted
wood in enamel finish. oxydized silver.
hand-carved ivory combined with soft
ly tinted glass beads are a few vari-
cites. Often there are earrings to
match the necklets.

Operators Oppose
Charter Plan of
Shipping Board
Steamship Owners State
Bare Boat Basis Scheme
Suggested Will Not Work
Out i'm Successful Way

Strong opposition to the Shipping
Boards plan to put its boats out on g
bare boat charter basis has been ex-
pressed to the board by representatives
Of the American Steamship Owners
Association.
The standing committee of manag-
ing agreement, of which Oakley Wood
is chairman, has been working fol-
some time to bring about an agree
ment, and numerous discussions have
been had with Shipping Board repre-
sentatives, but no agreement has been
reached. After soliciting the views of
different associations the committee
has decided that while the basis Of hare
boat charter is fundamentally sound
such plan would not be a success, be-
cause of the responsibility Of the char
terer, in view of present world con-
dltions affecting shipping, and the re-
allzatlon of the control the Shipping
Board must have over the fleet even #
chartered out
The committee has urged the i'm
mediate adoption of the managing
agent agreement submitted to the
board on June IL last, and has sent the
following telegram to the board:
AT meeting of the standing CON-
mlttee replies from the various asso-
clatlons were received regarding views
on bare boat charter While some ex-
pressed the opinion that it was the
oretlcaly and economically sound un-
der normal conditions, the vast ma
Jorlty were absolutely against it as
being Impractical and unworkable un-
NJSf1 ..
ticularly in view Of the control as to
routes and rates the board must nee
essarlly exercise, which are not normal

ne committee feels no further con-
sideration should be given bare boat
chartcr basis, and strongly advises and
urges immediate consideration be given

the board on June II in order to ar
rest the confusion which very properly
exists among managing agents regard

1t being understood on the announce

ne" agreement adopted was to be
retroactive to that date.

by different associations to have some
action taken by the board, and is pre-
pared to attend on you at WASHINGTON

W aif Waits ON Street
For Fare to Go Home
Friend Told Immigrant to Hold
Post While He Went to
Buffalo for Money

tIloEannl C1 Bernardlno, q thirteen-
ear-old immigrant from Italy. was
found hungry and disheartened last
night guarding two suitcascs in front
Of the Woolwortn Building. Despite
the woebcgone aspect of the waif. it
was with the greatest difficulty that a
patrolman, who had watched him for
several hours, managed to get him to
abandon his post.
The boy speaks no English. but at
the Beach Street police station he told
through ar interpreter of his anxiety
to get back quickly to the building
with the monstrous stceplc. He
landed from Ellis Island yesterday, he
said. with companion who was con-
ductng him from Italy to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Manzio di Bernardino,
whose home is in Buffalo -"Buffalo,
New York." as Giovanni carefully cx-
planned.
On landing they discovered that the
boy had not money enough to pay his
fare to Buffalo. and his guardian. who
never before had been in the United
States, had planted him in front Of
the most prominent landmark in sight,
promising to return and get him as
soon as he had gone to Buffalo and
got the fare from the boys parents
Giovanni was much SURPRISED to
learn that his friend would be gone a
couple of days at least. When he
finally was persuaded as to this fact,
he consented to wait for him at the
rooms of the New York Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children in
stead Of in front of the Woolworth h
Building.

u. S. Shipping Line
Purchases Tanker
To Fuel Its Fleet
Luckenbach Interests Step
illustrates Expansion of
the Merchant Marine ON
am Oil - Burning Basis

Purchase by an American shipping
company of a tank steamer to keep the
oil-burning vessels of it's feet supplied
with fuel furnishes striking evidence
of the growth of the American mer-
chant marine. The transaction is also
indicative of the extensive degree to
which oil is replacing coal as fuel in
the operation of overseas tonnage.
The Luckenbach Lines have bought
the tanker in question from the South
western Shipbuilding Company, of San
Pedro, Cal. She is an $500 deadweig ght
tons, oil-burning vessel, 41O feet in
length by 50 feet breadth, and her
depth is 20 feet 8 inches. Delivery is
to be made in November. She will
probably be used to carry fuel from
the Gulf of Mexico to New York.
The new vessel will be known as the
Mary Luckenbach and will be the nine
teenth ship owned by the Luckenbach
Lines and in service. With her acqui-
sition the lines will have a total of
more than 100000 deadweight tonnage
Only two of the Luckenbach fleet are
coal-burners, these being the Frederick
Luckenbach and the J. L. Luckenbach,
of 4,5oo and $3.50 dcadweight tons, re-
spectively.
The oil-burners and their tonnage, in
addition to the tanker, are the Andrea
+. Luckenbach and the Lewis Lucken-
bach, 14,400 tons each; the Edgar f.
Luckenbach, 1850 tons; the Edward
Luckenbach and the Julia Luckenbach,
12,250 tons each; the Dorothy Lucken-
bach, the Harry Luckenbach, the Jacob
Luckenbach and the Lillian Lucken-
bach, II ,876 tons each; the F. J. Luck
enbach, the Katrina Luckenbach, the X.
!. Luckenbach and the Walter Lucken-
bach, 1l,O55 tons each; the Florence
Luckenbach, s,34o tons; the Hattie
Luckenbach, 6,450 tons, and the Plei-
AIDES, $500 tons.
With the conversion of the Levia-
than to an oil-burner it is estimated
that in order to keep her supplied with
fuel it will be necessary to keep a
900 tons deadweight tanker constant
y in service between the Gulf and
New York.
The demand for tankers still con-
tinues. Practically all of the vessels
TO be constructed under the tax exemp-
tlon provisions of the merchant marine
act are this type Of vessel.
