AS TO sHIPBuILDING.

Nearly 100000 gross tons decrease
in world shipbuilding is shown by the
returns of Lloyd's Register of Shipping
for the quarter ended June 80, in COM
parison with those for the preceding
quarter.
This is much the sharpest decline
for any quarter since the autumn of
1919. when the peak of construction
throughout the world was reached.
Compared with the 100000 tons DE-
crease in the second quarter of this
year, that of the first quarter was less
than 100,0 tons below the preceding
period.
During the three months ending
June 80, American shipping under
construction dropped nearly 400, 600
tons, British about 100000 tons, and
the other countries. combined, with the
exception Of Germany, for which COM
plete returns are not yet available,
about a quarter of a million tons.
Compared with the tonnage under
way year ago the United States las
fallen back 1888. 900 tons, the United
Kingdom As, 900 tons and the other
64,UUU TONS. WOTlu
ton, therefore, is 1,521,000 tons less
than it was on June 80, 1920, and the
American total is hardly a third CT
what it was at this time last year.
The peak of American construction
was reached in the quarter ending
March 81, 1919, when 4,1S6.0o0 tons
were being built in this country. To-
days figure is only about sixth of
that total, and represents decline of
3.469 900 tons.
World production attained the peak
at the end of September, 1919, when
the amount under way was S,04S,000
tons. The total today is about % per
cent less. the decline aggregating
1,S49.O0O tons.

Dear Journal:
Three cheers for Captain ]. C. Pat
terson. The article in Wednesdays pa
per certainly hits the nail on the head,
especially the concluding paragraph.
l hope every citizen of Pensacola will
read and take to heart his article. We
certainly should not be compelled to
pay officials high salaries to keep our
city clear of crime and then have TO
do it in spite of their efforts our
selves I do not believe in X. K. K. eff
forts. Let whatever is done be open
and above board.
A paragraph from an article in last
weeks Golfers on the unlawful sale
of whiskey in our cities reads thus:
'The bootlegging industry thrives be-
cause it is to a great extent ignored
by the authorities and patronized by
people generally regarded as our best
citizens" This. if true of our beloved
city, may explain the efforts of the
K. K. K. to rid the town of some of
the, illicit business. Respectfully,

Withdrawing Advertising
utB Not Statesmen,

The head of a large organization de-
clared the other day that he had de-
cided to stop advertising because the
amount of business derived directly
from it was not satisfactory. He Ie-
caived this reply: Are the orders com
ing in from your statesmen satisfactory
at present?" He admitted that theg
emphatically were not. Are you goin :
to lay off all your salesmen?" he was
asked. Certainly not" he replied in
dignantly. We've got to have our men
out to keep in touch with the trade.
Yet he had decided to stop the very
thing which keeps his company AMI
its product in touch with the trade AMI
the public in a far more comprehen-
sive way than his salemen can posi-
bly, do. 1t is just possible that he VIII
now change his mind.
The time TO stop advertising is not
when orders become extremely difficult
to land and when plants soreIy nee
business to keep them going. If an am
bilious advertising program can IN
crease the percentage of production
even moderately, il thereby reduces
the overhead per unit of production.
Moreover, it reduces the number Of
employees that have to be laid of,
and this ought 70 be a consideration

A Truce in Ireland!


A Truce in Ireland!
1t is said to be the unexpected which
happens. This time it has happened in
Ireland. Surprising as it may appear
to the balance of the world the war
ring factions there have agreed to be
at peace-temporarily, at least. This,
of itself. is extremely significant, mas
much as the issues are so well de-
fined and so sharply drawn that a
truce in the circumstances would or
dinarily indicate that basis of set
Element had been reached. Superb
cially this appears to be the case,
though nothing definite in the way of
terms and details is made public. The
way has now been paved, however, for
the assembling of the conference in
vited by Lloyd George several days
ago.
An inevitable preliminary to the set
Element was an understanding between
Ulster and southern Ireland This has
not been easy to arrange. Ulster would
not agree to entire separation from
Great Britain, while southern Ireland
was insistent upon independence. 1t
appears, however, that a common
ground is about to be reached which,
barring accidents, indicates proba bility
of an adjustment. The impression pre-
walls that the country is to enjoy local
autonomy, either as a dominion or fed
Grated republic, retaining nominal con-
nection with the empire. Friends Of
Ireland everywhere are hoping that
their renewed expectations of a settle-
ment will not be disappointed.
The imperialA conference in session
in London is believed to have influ-
enced the situation in favor of peace,
but especial importance is attached to
the efforts of King George and Premier

on them if permanent peace is eventu-

The Delinquent Girl.

The Delinquent Girl.
''The diseased delinquent girl is not
only medical but a social problem. It
is futile to treat the physical disease
and ignore the social condition of
which the disease is only a symptom"
This is an informal summing up by
Mrs. Martha Falconer Of many years
experience with delinquent girls and
women. Mrs. Falconer, who is a di-
rector of the department of social pro-
tective measures of the American So
cial Hygiene association, served dur
ing the great war in the commission
on training camp activities and has
since been instrumental in securing
the establishment of detention camps
throughout the country and reform
schools, in many of which the plans
she devised while she was superinten-
dent of the famous Sleighton Farm
school, have been adopted.
The problem of delinquency and of
the terrible diseases which delinquent
cy fosters and spreads" she says,
cannot be solved by the mere multi
plication of clinics for the treatment
of venerea1 diseases and the provision
of hospitals in which girls are detained
while their condition makes them pub
lie dangers. OF course we need clinics,
more of them, and we need hospitals,
but the work is Only half done If the
girl is merely restored to health and
sent back to the life which brought
her to the clinic. Work Of that sort
Is like treating sprained ankles for
people who fall through a hole in the
sidewalk and letting the hole alone.
We must mend the sidewalk while the
ankle is under treatment.
Every delinquent girl and woman
who is treated in clinic must be
followed uu We must find out why
she is a delinquent. After that, one Of
two things must be done with her. If
she can be made over, and some of the
delinquent girls I have known have
been of good material, spoiled, as a
dress may be, by choice of the wrong
pattern, into self-reliant, self-re-
specting, useful citizen. she must be
made over. If there is hopeless de-
feet in the material she is made of,
she must be kept under supervision or
even under restraint and given no
chance to go back to the old life which
led to the clinic. Society is fast out
growing the old-fashioned idea Of a
fallen woman a hopeless creature
who can never expect to stand up
right again. We know now that plenty
of girls who have become delinquents
wrong training, wrong influ-
ence. or through patheticaily ignorant
to get the good times nor

Mobilization and can be made over into
worth while women. We know, too.
that with others there is no such hope
and the community must be protected
from the unfortunates of this class.
both kinds are brought to. clinics
and what the clinic does for them is
not all that must be done. The sprain
ed ankle must be treated. Of course. but
equally, of course, the hole in the
sidewalk must be repaired so that no
one need ever stumble into it twice.
