Barge Canal Shows
Marked Increase i'm
Traffic for Year
State Superintendent Tells of
Use of Waterway; Grain
Movement From Interior
Heavy; Big IronShipments

Substantial increase in traffic on the
state barge canal during the present
year~is shown in statement from
of Public Works. He reports that the
canal has gained greater proportion
Of shipments during the season than
the railroads, and that the publicity
resulting from the inspection trip Of
Governor Miller and Of the Congress-
men from Washington has been of
great benefit.
Mr.. Cadle says that the canal has
now been "placed on the map" and is
going to have an opportunity to show
its usefulnes as sure and fast method
of transportation.
Friends of the New York State canal
system believe they have reason for
encouragement because of the amount
of tonnage which has passed through
the canal thus far during the present
season. The figures indicate a surpris-
ing increase in Western grains as we'll
as woodpulp and lumber from the
North. During the season of 1921, up to
October Is, there were shipped 4,922,8
bushels of wheat, which is gain over
the same period in 1920 of more than
400 per cent, while Western corn moved
through the canal to the amount of
S6,s70 tons, or 1,316,7s5 bushels, which
is total gain from the year before.
Oats made gain from $4,000 bushels
last year to about 100000 bushels.
Barley jumped from 56,375 bushels in
1920 to 186,042 bushels during the first
five months of the present season.
"Among some notable shipments
have been cargoes of copper ingots
from New York to Rome by the Trans
marine Corporation, one shipment dur
ing August including $3.50 net tons,
barges carrying 500 tons each.
"Steel rails and spikes from the
Lackawanna Steel Company, Buffalo to
New York, for domestic and export use,
were carried by the Nicholson Transit
Corporation, enabling shippers to Sc
cure business against the Pittsburgh
mills owing to favorable canal rates.
The first shipment of brick from Me-
chanicsville by the canal to New York
was made in the early summer. Boats
hold from 100000 to 100000 brick. This
would mean about 100000 pounds, or
about twenty-six carloads. The saving
on the canal rate assures a large
amount of business during next sea-
SON."

Ship Men Seek
Further. Cut i'm
Operating Cost
Bonus Plan for Efficiency
Under Consideration by
Some Companies; Check
on Character Of Officers
Wages Greatest Handicap
No Disposition at Present
to Reduce Pay in Face Of
Is p. C. Cut This Spring

Further steps for reduction in op-
Grating costs of American ships are
planned by several steamship COM
ranies to enable them to compete on
. moro equal basis with foreign YES
sels, and also to support their argu-
fncnts for assistance from Congress to
Offset the expenses which are fixed on
a higher level than foreign shipping.
The bonus system of Increasing the
efficiency of masters and engineers is
now being worked out by one of the
largest American companies, which is
not yet ready to reveal its plan. This
contcmplates comparative statements
on the operating costs of the various
vessels of its feet, with extra pay
ments for the officers and crews OF
ships showing the best record.
To Check Up Officers
movement has also been started,
with the support of the steamship
companies, for thorough check on
the character Of all ship officers, in
cluding complete histories of their
seafaring careers. 1t is intended to
give American companies the same de-
tailed information that is available to
British ship owners in employing men
to command vessels. The record will
also be of value to marine under.
writer's in making rates. The "moral
risk" is important to insurance men
and is of equal significance to ship
owners who are seeking to lower their
rates. A battered hulk with a good
master may get better rate than a
newer ship in charge of an inexperi-
enced man.
Won't Cut Pay Now
The matter of wages on board YES
sells has been discussed recently by
ship owners. 1t is understood that no
further cut is intended at present.
There is disposition on the part of
many steamship men to believe that
while they might take advantage of the
existing depression to force paw down
this might not be advisable. A reduc-
ton of Is per cent was put into effect
LIST spring by private owners and the
Shipping Board. This was to stay un-
changed until the end of the year.
1t is the general view of most ship
ping men that while American vessels
can obtain fuel, food. repairs, wharf
age, port charges and brokerage COM
missions as low as foreign ships, if
efficient methods are used, they cannot

Mr.. Bayles, who lives at 1928 Montrose

in front of him with revolver leveied.
"Come across now with all you've

immortality

Whatever else the present age
may be called, it is an age of I'm
morality" We see it on every side
of us:-Motion pictures, dancing,
dresses of modern girls and women.
The girl and woman of today does
not care. or else she cannot see the
contempt she is arousing in the
mind of decent, moral men. Her
eyes are blind to all save fashion
and show: she bobs her hair, and
draws up her skirt, at the same time
rolling down her stockings for the
sole purpose of creating a sensation
and gaining admiration. She creates
the sensation, but the admiration is
not there. 1t cannot be. No man
can even have respect for such a
woman.
The girls who are acting in such
a manner can scarcely be held re-
sponsible. They are young care
free and of course, like to be in
style. Moral styles can be taught
them by their mothers, who are old
er, can see farther, are more world
wise. Let them be the ones to
teach their daughters the correct
mode of dress; let them point out
the way for wavering footsteps. The
mothers whose heart is for her
child's welfare can be depended upon
to help that child. Why cannot the
mothers who sit daily in Clubs and
hold Tea Parties also give up some
personal pleasure and help her young
girl. How cap she succeed without
mothers guidance?
God. who cares for all his children
cannot work without the help OF
those children. Help Him: help
make this old world believe in His
goodness. Danish immortality
and trod the path of Righteousness.
He is waiting at the end of the trail
for all who believe in Him.-Com-
municated.
