no reason why a children's party

Such affairs give great delight

provided the parties are not given
too fancy q trend and are not ac-
companied by too elaborate foods.
First let's talk about decorations.
Probably In the child's mind the
appearances or decorations are full

the very thought of being In a
gayly decorated room bright with
color and gazing on wonderfully
ornamented table is quite party
all in itself for the average child.

Sometimes the figures may be cut

have the "Sunbonnet Baby"

This same wide roll can be used
as a table cover. for 1t is wisest not
to trust good linen where there
are small persons who spill. Use

be secured in similar design, thus
saving all washing and worry about

The Story of American Ships.

The Story Of American Ships.
Uncle Ted had been busy on the
back porch all morning, whistling an
oil dsea chantey, whiting and tinker
ing for dear life, and Ruth and Jack
rounded the corner of the house to
discover the product of his labors TAX
ing form. Twas a beautiful model of
a three masted schooner. With the
stepping of the masts, the fastening of
the rigging and the bending of the
sails the model was completed, and
both children ejaculated: ooh, Uncle
Ted, what a pretty little boat! What
are you going to do with it,"
1--WE will take it over to the duck
pond and see If it will SAIL" replied
Uncle Ted, land after we have tried
it out will tell you a story about the
American shipping industry" An
hour later, Uncle Ted having proved
his ability as shipwright, the three
mariners gathered under shady elm,
and Uncle Ted began:
Before the Civil War the flag of
the United States adorned every port
in the world. We had the makings OF
splendid maritime race in the Eng
lish Of New England, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas,
the Dutch of New York, the Swedes OF
Delaware, and their descendants who
had migrated to the Pacific Coast =
the worlds best seafaring stock. Shnp-
building is the most ancient of Amer
lean industries, as old as jamestown
and older than Plymouth. The first
vessel was launched at the mouth o.
the Kennebec in 1907, the first decker
was built on the Hudson by Adrian
Block in 1914. The father Of American
maritime policy was Governor Johr
Winthrop of Massachusetts,. The
growth of our shipbuilding industry
was so rapid that it soon excited thu
jealousy Of the mother country, Eng
land, which began to pass laws t

Jones during that period.
an 1888, after we had gained our
British hostility to our
shipping was illustrated by a letter
from Benjamin Franklin relative to
the effect of the Barbary pirates prey
ing on our commerce, in which he
quoted London merchants as saying
If there were no Algiers it would be
worth England's while to build one!
The first Act of the first Congress OF
the United States, passed July a, liS9,
was protective tariff law-to protect
our new industries from the feirce
competition of European combinations.
That law allowed reduction OF ten
per cent. of the tariff duties upon I'M
ports brought to this country in ships
built and owned by American citizens
In 1894 this clause was changed so
that an addition of ten per cent. was
made to the duty rate on goods
brought over in foreign ships. This
law worked wonders in aiding our
merchant marine, and Notwithstanding
=.
all that England could do to impair IT,
by 1907 we were carrying 90 per cent
of our entire foreign trade in our own
sbips. The seizures of Napoleon after
that wear, and the War of 1872, which
paralyzed our carrying trade, had re-
duced 1t in 1915 to "A per cent. of our
toltal foreign trade.
1--WE made peace with Great Britain
in 1916. Soon after, Great Britain in,
duced us to sign commercial treaty
which was our first great mistake sc
far os our shipping industry was con-
cerned, for we thereby bound our
selves to impose no discriminating
duty on ships or products in the trade
between this country and the United
Kingdom. Immediately thereafter
Great Britain excluded American ships
from her West India possessions, which
placed in idleness $4,000 tons of Amer
lean shipping; while the repeal o
the discriminating duty rates enabled
British shippers to regain their as
tendency in our ports. Since that tint
we have negotiated 80 or 40 treaties
with foreign powers abandoning dis
criminatory duty rights.
