KEEL CANAL AGAIN

Hamburg In one day last week %
steamers passed CuXhayen on the way
to Hamburg or to enter, the Kiel ca
nal. This was the largest number of
ships to come into the itlbc in 81
hours since the early Nays Of the war,
and the event was hailed with intense
satisfaction here as a sign OF better
times Five years ago it was dull
day when only score Of vessels ar
rived. The Hamburg american line
alone usually had from q to 81 big
ships in port and the harbOr was so
crowded with shipping that the PROB
lem Of docking often became acute.
In those days few flags other than
those Of the German companies were
seen in the harbor Today Hamburg
is literally under foreign colors. Ship

third class accommodations hold men
and women who are financially able
to travel in the best that the ship
affords. 1t is no infrequent occur
renee for staid banker, or a wealthy
head OF a large business house to be
found booked with the humble alien
laborcr returning to the land Of his
birth for visit.
1t was recently said by the head
of large line in speaking Of traffic
that in 1914 Il man could purchase a
tourist ticket including rail fares and
hotel accommodation for Il trip half
way round the world for the same
sum that he is now compelled to pay
for one way ticket from New York
to a Mediterranean port.
Records OF departures and arrivals
as kept here by the Steamship Mems
association show thai despite the very
apparent rush travel is only about half

was in 1914 In May and June Of that
year there sailed from American to
transatlantic ports $4,000 persons
of whom more than 100000 were class

Of 1920 the outgoing total was so 1928
of whom 50000 were third class.
OF incoming passengers in one
month of 1914 there were 105, 100 per-
sons. The corresponding month this
year showed 45,120 persons arriving.

VIRGIN ISLANDS AN
OASIS UNDER u. S. FLAG

San Juan, =. Probably the only
place under the American flag where
prohibition is not now in force Is in
the Virgin Islands where, until Con
gross enacts new laws, the old Dan
ish laws remain in force.
The Colonial Council of St CrOix
has Just passed q bill repeating for
mer local legislation for that island
which provided for local prohibition
until specified period after the
ending Of the war Similar legisld-
tion is pending in the Colonial Coun-
Gil for the islands of ST. Thomas and
ST. John.
The treaty of sale by which the in
lands were transferred from Denmark
to the United States provided that
the laws in force at The time OF the
transfer should remain in full force
and effect until Congress enacted
special legislation for the islands
This has not yet been done. In he
meantime tho constitution Of The
United States, in all its provisions. l.

a dish that is served in England; II is
made of lettuce and peas. and is deli

and use either fork or a wire whip.
Bring to'a boil and then add
One teaspoon Of salt.

Tno peH. beaten eggs.
Beat hard to blend and then pour
over the lettuce aud serve. Add one
Tablespoon Of finely chopped mint leaves
TO the young green peas while they are
cooking, to give that delicate minty
flavor to them.
II! Use cheese and Hollandaisf sauce in
place of the egg sauce. String beans
with tiny diced cooked beets. seasoned
with French dressing, may also be used
Y to replace the peas for variety.
Stuffed Cabbage Leaves
