Some Operators Apparently
Guarded Against Board
Selling Vessels at Lower
Prices Than They Paid
Green Star Appeal Found
Iasker's Office Has Turned
REIMBURSEMENT Proposal
Over to Legal Department

A dispatch received last night from
Washington was 10 the effect that
sharing Board officials had found the
a<tition sent them last month by bond
.oldcrs Of the Green Star Steamship
Company, asking for readjustment of
the contracts under which the company
obtained vessels from the board, so
.hat the company would be paying for
is ships at the rate prevailing to-day
for tonnage rather than at that which
,revailed when the line applied for the
craft
The Shipping Board, it was said, not
only discovered that the petition, re-
esipt Of which was denied the preced-
me dav. was in its hands, but that il
bsd been referred to the boards legal
denartment, which now has the matter
under investigation. No decision would
he made on the request, it was added
until the Investigation was completed
ship operators in this city said that.
regardless Of whether the board &C
coded to the demands of the forty or
more shipping firms which want the
nrices in their contracts cut to conform
10 present values, there were some
shrewd shipping men whom the board
would have to protect in the slump in
ship prices.
These are the canny operators who
inserted in their contracts what is
known as fall" clause, providing
that If at any time the Shipping Board
sold ships at lower prices than those
fixed in the contracts, it would have
TO allow proportionate rebates to the
operators. There are said TO be numer-
GUS contracts which contain a fall
clause.
It was learosd that the board has
not received five bids for the nine
ships Of the United States Mail Steam
ship Line which it seized. 1t is doubt
full, in the opinion of shipping men,
whether the four vessels of that COM
panys feet not yet in commission ever
will be reconditioned, this country
never having been a builder of pas
senger ships.
The Bethlehem Shipbuilding Com
uany has a contract TO convert six for
mer troopships into passenger craft for
the Orient service. Two of these vessels,
al Of which are 535 feet over all and
Of 10000 tons, have been delivered to
the Matson Navigation Line and one
to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
The three others have not been allo-
Gated by the board, which is paying
for them.

IF ii decides to do so st must face q
loss. We are faced by fact, not q
theory, 10 the American merchant
marine. If we did not have the ton
mage then ! would not believe there
was any visible future for our mer-
chant marine.
I'VE have all that tonnage. and If the
Shipping Board shows the country that
this tonnage is being operated at .
fearful loss, which is being paid for
by the taxpayers. then it will be up to
the public to give the word and scrap
these vessels or provide some method
by which they can be run in comrs~
tition with foreign bottoms"

Harding and Ship Board
To Confer ON Jones Act

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-shipping
Board policies as they affect the inter
national relations of the United States
may be taken up at a conference be-
tween President Harding and members
of the board which is expected to be
held soon.
1t was learned to-day at the Shipping
Board that it has been decided to take
up "the entire scope and effect of the
Jones act" which includes provisions
permitting preferential through rates
when freight or passengers are Rr-
ried in American vessels, and direct4n
the President to terminate treatisa
which have the effect of restricting the
right of the United States to impose
discriminating customs duties and
tonnage dues.

WELCOME THE NEW RADIANCE
Eskimos Rejoice Over the Advent o.
the Electric Light in Land Of
Midnight Sun.

The midnight sun has outIlved its
usefulness. Up In the dark cold re-
gions of the northland, where the
natives formerly were content to gFope
around in the darkness, twenty to
twenty-five hours daily during the
months Of November. December and
January. today the aurora borea1is IN
not whit more wonderful to the
EskimOs and their youngsters than ths
welcome radiance Of electric light. Il
will be many year before the public
utility companies invade the realm Of
the totem pole, the glacier and the
igloo; but In the meantime. the farm
plant. that contrivance of storage bat
teries and the like, which has been
supplying the farmers Of me rural
West and Canada with power and light
during recent years. has begun to
make its appearance.
One of the pioneer lighting outfits Of
the arctic area was installed recently
al the Kodiak. Baptist mission on KO-
diak island, just to the south OF Cook
Inlet. Alaska. The apparatus is now
giving twenty-four hours Of real light
each day to the hundreds Vt Aleutian
children who are taught and cared for
at the home and Industrial school Of

CHILDREN WILL BUILD NESTS
Members Of Junior Audubon Clubs
Throughout the Country Are to
Provide Bird Homes.

Birds winging their way northward
just now will find $4,000 new houses
built for them during the last year by
boys and girls who are members Of
the 5000 Junior Audubon clubs scat
tered over the United States and Can
ada. the New York Evening Post
states. These youths are among the
l,5OO,OO0 members Of the organization
planted In kindergartens, grammar
schools and among groups of young
Americans by the National Audubon
society.
Each club member. after paying 10
cents as an initiation fee, starts ac-
quiring knowledge of the appearances
and habits of both sOngsters and the
unmusical types of birds Through
picture books and hikes to woodland
spots they learn to distinguish one
kind OF bird from another by the kind
OF feathery clothes they wear and
how also to tell them by their eggs,
their nests and. sometimes by their
chirps
Careless hunters have found the
club members uncomfortably observ-
ant of those whom they suspect are
bagging more than the limit or shoot
ing out of season. Recently the asso-
citation received a letter from a sports
volunteer game wardens" in his city

Mistaken Identity.

Miss Minnie Mckee Is Terre
Haute librarian, who is not by any
means suffragist. The other MORN
ing when she started to her library
she decided to leave some notices for
delinquent books on the way. She
went TO one porch, knocked at the
door and gave the woman of the
house the notice. At the next house,
In which there happened to be a de-
linquent book, she did the same thing.
And then she heard in disappearing
tones from two men who were behind
her: "Now If there isn't one Of those
women candidates. JUST see for your
self how masculine she looks passing
hand bills"
And one question still remains un-
answered in her mind: who on
earth is to deliver future delinquent
book noticesf'-Indianapo News.

On Cape Cod a special type Of tur-
nip Is being developed. Not that
there Is anything unusual to be said
for the taste Of this turnip as COM
pared with similar turnips raised else
where. But the interesting thing
about the Cape Cod turnip is that 1t
win grow on farms having sandy top
soil. 1t has proved useless to recon-
mend that the regular Cape Colder
move elsewhere If he wished to grow
crops that did not promise to do well
In the Barnstables and the Truros.
"Why not adapt the crops to tine
land?' asks the native. The answer
10 turnip with an unusually long tap

stratum TO the moist subsoil and
hourishes even In spots that weeds
find discouraging.

Mustard cas Quickly ldentitied.

According to Lord Haidane. mus
tard gas was not known In Europe
before the war. yet 4S hours after II
was first used by the Germans, Brit
fish chemists had run 1t to earth. II
was not discovered by the Germans
during the war, as has so of en been
enormously stated. When Lord Hal
dane was student at G0ttingen. he
often walked round the walls of the
university town and noted the chem
ical laboratory just outside. Profes-
s0r Meier was in charge, and came
across The gas many years ago. He
recorded the discovery officially, and
two British men of science remem'
bered the paper he had written and
identified the gas, says the English
Mechanic.
