OPPORTUNITIES IN
MERCHANT MARINE

There is no more attractive life
for venturesome youth than the life
at sea. Moreover it is today life
which offers higher pay than can be
secured on shore. The old days of
the fo'c'sle are gone never to re-
turn. On the oil-burning boats the
below-decks job is as clean as a
floor-walker's in an up-to-date de-
partment store. Plenty of sight-see-
ing, the salt tang of the air, three
squares a day, and feeling like a
fighting-cock all the time. The ambi-
tious can work up to become ships
officers, and a sea-captain on the
highseas has kingdom of his own
whose premier is the chief engineer.
The young fellow who wants to get
away from the routine Of the mill
can do no better than to take on. in
the merchant marine. He will draw
a fat wage, and he will not drawrthat,
unless he wants to, until his voyage
is up, when it's mostly velvet. If
these facts are properly advertised
the U. S. Shipping Board should ex-
perience little trouble in recruiting
the merchant marine up to full 100
per cent Americanism. America has
the spirit, which needs but to be
awakened to make us the greatest
maritime nation on earth.

WISDOM OF TAKING "DAY OFF"
Leisure Time, That Has Been Earned,
Means Better Health and Better
Work Afterward.

There is nothing that clears the cob
webs so effectualiy out of ones brain
as a day Off" the Young-Old Philos-
Opher was saying. Just as we plan
our work, we should plan our play !;
only. most of us, in the clamOr of the
times. forget that to loaf occasionally
Is as necessary as to drudge; and we
confuse leisure with lazness.
II know In my own case how difficult
II Is for me to make up my mind, def
nitely and unbendingly, that require,
now and then, morning away from
my desk.
$50 II the day off means so much
to us, mentally and physically, why are
we afraid to take it when the oppor-
tunity arrives? l like nothing better
than to see, In the big town. group
OF middle-aged men Fastening out in q
motor car on some crisp morning. their
golf sticks piled beside them. while
others trudge to dreary tasks. They
have earned their liberty, no doubt
let us hope so, at any rate; and they
will be all the better tomorrow for
those few hours Of delightful sport and
health-giving freedom.
"TOo soon the curtain is rung down
on this glowing world we live in; and
II is heartbreaking to consider how
many spots there are close at our gates
which we never find the time to see
and enjoy. Partly 1t is our own fault.
The green earth cries out to us to
come and tread the corridors of the
countryside; instead, we cling to the
granite Of the city. and pace desolate
hallways-the more desolate because
they are crowded with people we do
not know. And all of them are hur-
rying-where?
II wonder. And so, no doubt, do
they."-From the Outlook.

BRITAIN RETURNS
TO PROTECTION

Washington, August 31.-"After
three-quarters of century of free
trade, Great Britain has definitely,
and by legislative decree, abandoned
that policy" says the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. "On August IL the British gov
ernment's safeguarding of the in
dustries bill'' passed the House of
Commons by the overwhelming ma
jority of 176 to A. The bill en-
braces two resolutions, one introduc-
ed last March by Sir Robert Horne,
providing an ad valorem duty of
33b per cent on optical glass, OPP
teal instruments, scientific glass
ware, porcelain instruments, magne-
tos, tungsten and its products, syn
thetic and organic chemicals; the
other, and the more important, pro-
viding for customs duties on any
articles not mentioned in the first
under the act will have the power to
specify on the ground that such ar
ticles are being vended in the Unit
ed Kingdom at prices below their &C
tual production cost; or below what
they can profitably be produced for
in the United Kingdom. The power
to protect British industries is thus
placed in the hands of commission,
N v,ofhoJ proh;h;toJ ~ tb;s oorn+rx,
by the Constitution and one which
though speedy of application may be
subject to grave abuse.
'This change Of policy on the part
of Great Britain does not come as
surprise to those who have watched
the trend Of events in the tight lit
tie isle. The restoration of the pro-
tective policy, agitation for which
has been more or less fitful since
1916, reached it's heighth during the
war, when it appeared to have ma
jority support among the British peo-
pie. The system of imperial pref
erences adopted to apply to trade
between the Mother Country and her
colonial possessions soon after the
close of the war, was but herald of
the British intention to restore the
protective policy.
"The Napoleonic wars, 1893
1916, which enabled Great Brit
ain to drive every Continental RI
val from the sea and gain alb
solute control of the foreign COM
merce of the world, the displace-
ment of hand labor by machines, Brit
ish Navigation Laws, all combined
to convince British manufacturers of
the Importance of propagandizing for
universal free trade, and the poor
harvests Of 1888 to 1910 accentu-
ated this feeling. The policy of pro-
lection had been practiced for the
purpose of building up the industries
of England and making her the great
est manufacturing center in the
world says Curtiss. This had been
accomplished. The whole scheme was
entered upon for the purpose Of in

ROAD LEGISLATION OPPOSED

The protests come from highway
engineers, dairy farmers, fruit and

all lines Of industry and commerce and
other operators of motortrucks and
their patrons.
They say increased license fees and
restrictive legislation have been eff.
fected without sufficient investigation
and without conclusive evidence.
A sensible solution is being worked
out by the state of Illinois. The state

be as high as seven times the load,
an average being about four times.
The tests show, however, that the
impact depends largely upon the kind
and condition of the tire. Pneumatic
tires cause the least damage TO the
road surface, the cushion Of air re-
ducing The impact so that 1t Is sell
dom greater than ia times the static
load on the wheels Although the
impact increases with the speed of
the truck, and 1t is therefore highly
desirable to limit speed by strict reg
uiation, the use of pneumatic tires
would make higher speed permissible.
The tests Of the bureau of public
roads have pointed the way 20 more
scientific designing Of roads for mo-
tortruek traffic. and there is every as
surance that engineers will now be
able to build roads with practical Ger.
tnlnty that they will Withstand the
blows of heavy vehicles.
Further reinsurance In this respect
lies in the information that manu-
facturers are not building us many
trucks exceeding five tons capacity as
formerly. The number OF industries
In which very large trucks can be
kept continuously workia is ex-
tremely limited, so that lhes likeli-

Did you ever.>see woman who was satisfied with her height? Find a woman who is tall and willowy and nine times out of ten she wish es she were short and dumpy And find little fairy of person who is really cute, and nine times out of ten she wishes she were tall as a beanpole Little Miss Constance Bin ney, who tips the yardstick at ex. actly five feet and, three-quarters of an inch thinks height is one of the most heaven-sent attributes of woman, lovely woman, and is report ed to be eating all the crusts that appear on the table of that well known boarding house located at "39 East" so that she will grow taller She gives as the reason, her desire to reach the top, but the heads of Real art, who signed her for her first starring roles in films, say she will do that anyway, poor little sawed-o that she is, and advise her to cut the crusts out and eat waffles and maple syrup if she likes.
 In "The Stolen Kiss" based on the book Little Miss By the Day." which is at the Coliseum Tuesday and Wednesday, Miss Binney is said to tower as a screen star.
