and started buying movement on the
part of,the public, dealing through the
Efird stores, which resulted In the
greatest outgo Of merchandise, and
the greatest volume of sales, ever
known in the history Of the Efird de-
partment stores. Tile combined sale
last year was colossal success both
from the point of the public and the
stores. Stocks were cleaned out com
pletcly on falling market at bargain
prices, the best given since before the
war, and the Efirds' reputation was
greatly enhanced with the buying pub
lie, who had become weary of mount
ing prices. The sale last year was the
first step in the direction of "back to
normal" and ever since, the Efird
policy has been to strain every nerve
to restore stability to the dollar, and
bring prices to pre-war levels.

prices, that there will be left, not
one vestige of "a shadow of doubt
throughout the broad territory which,

Anniversary Chain Sale beginning OF
June 18, will surpass any effort at
rapid economical merchandising, in the
history of the entire South.
1t is with this object in view that
AZ of the most alert merchandisers in

determined to make the sac opening

effort of last year. They know it viii

for years past, an organization per-
fected to the last degree, and a tre-

that they can put over successfully

CLEARLY evident that a situation so so.
riausly handicEpping Shipping Board
steamers must be corrected. if iust. a
corrective system to improve thu
handling of cargo must be established
immediately. and simultaneously an
appeal must be made to shippers 20
cooperate to the fullest extent TO helm
wreck
Another point which shows that Il
fiat increase on Shipping Board vessels
is not justified Is the fact thst all
operators of government vcnscla are
not the same, and that the increase
should not be uniform"
In this connection, r. H. N. Robin
son, acting president Of the United
American Lines, insisted at the hear
ing before the Shipping Board on
price revision last week, that the
American Marine Insurance Syndi-
Gates charge . higher rate on gov
eminent built hulls than on other
ships. Officials Of the syndicatcs,
which were formed under the super
vision of the board, said yesterday
that there is no discrimination against
government vessels as such.
Edward N. Hurley, former chair
man OF the Shipping Board, last week
in Washington said
"one score may be settled now. The
ships (Shipping Board stcamers> con-
sidered as n general average. are as
good as the merchantmen OF ether
natidss. II the Insurance. rates are
not AS low as those offered to shippers
consigning their freight on other
steamers, the Shipping Board should
correct this handicap by starting an
insurance system. which could easily
quote rates as low or lower than those
offered by private interests. The Ship
ping Board, I have been told, Is dis
posed to settle claims with prompts
mesa and fairness to the shippers"
The insurance handicap which COM
panies operating Shipping BOARD ves-
sells have to overcome Is illustrated in
tho following comparison, giving the
insurance on cargo valued at $500, 900
on regular liner between New York
and the United Kingdom, another ves-
sci not in the first class and Ship

amer, but On a shipment to China Prom
aassansic Coast ports the differences is

There is no. foundation in reason For
sac tact that on a trans Atlantic
voyage sne risk or Shipping Board

:, "A similar inconsistency appears on

havana The regular liner rate is Is

board rate is rs cents, or two thirds

1T IS clear from the general prac-
ssce OF insurance companies that Ship
ping Board vessels not more than two
years old and not less than 1900 tons
net is charged very much higher
Fate than other approved vessels'
twelve years old and not less than
,ooo tons net. It might be greatly in
the interest of the Shipping Board and
shippers generally If the insurance
companies were required to furnish a
tahulated statement of premiums and
losses by board vessels and another
statement containing all other pre-
and losses on the two other
principal classes, regular liners and
so-cailed other approved vessels. With
such statements in hand the Shipping
Board could then determine the com
parlson trade for trade on each OF the
three classes ard whether the excess
rates on government vessels are ius-
tilted. The probability is that because
the rates now are based upon guess
work the guess is high. But whether
higher rates are justified or not. it is

nsen, IN addition, a handicap imposed
upon the ships by the reputation Of the
operators selected. Iusuraucs cornua-
mes do not discriminate against a boat
because Of It's ownership, bat not infre-
auentiy there is a shading Of rates By
virtue OF the record of the company

anee rates are dependent upan tha abiI-
ity OF particular boat to transnort -

the ability Of particular boat to
