GOVERNMENT SHIPPING FIAsco.
(From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch)

(From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch) -.
The governments expenditure OF billions o 49, -

incident Nothing can be done with that sltuaiioh

tion Of stupendous deficits and of anticipated re

emergency rs justification or o;cuse, cohuhueu Ca
penditure becomes very live issue. -. :,
Chairman Lasker reports the net product OF
the past fiscal years operations flat loss OF
$3.50 600 900. To carry on the operation ol tls
fleet this year Mr.. Lasker will ask from consiess
$500 900 900 more How much greater the lose
would be for the current year there is no means OF
knowing since there is system to guarantees
against loss. On only one proposition can the
shipping board be relied not to fail. That Is u
spend more money than 1t is given to spend II
still has an asset into which the government up 70
last December had poured more than $3,2OO'oo0.-
O00 BY selling ships and other properties the snip
ping boards capacity for loss may be proporton-
ately cut down.
The stupendous failure of governnent-owned
shipping under present conditions and the system
adopted has revived the discussion of ship sub
sides the alternative policy. 1t is little wonder

Republican congress has been in power more
than two years There has been both change of
party and change of conditions, with recently a
change of administration Why not a quicker
change of system? Not a cent more of public
money should be voted public merchant marine

should be an accounting Of funds unaccounted for.

CONDITIONS IN WORLD
ABOUT THE SAME AS IN
81 B. c., SAYS HADLEY
(By The Associated Press

Boulder, Colo, July 24.-Condi-
tons in the world today are very
similar to what they were about
81 B. c. in the opinion of Herbert
S. Hadley, professor of history at
the University of Colorado, here.
In an address before the Rotary
club here the other day, Mr..
Hadley drew from history par
allel in conditions.
'T like to think" said the pro-
fessor, that the Romans and the
Americans were produced by SIM
liar processes. In many respects
they look alike and act alike.
Place the sculptored bust of a Ro-
man statesman of ancient times
beside one Of an American states
man and it would be difficult to
distinguish between the two.
''In times past we have come to
regard our civilization as one that
is on too firm a foundation ever
to fall to decay. Recently, howev-
er, we have seen the collapse Of
Russia and the threatened disinte-
grafton of other European nations
whose civilization has been long
established and it is beginning to
occur to us that we will do well to
examine the experiences Of Rome
and profit by them"
Civilization in Rome's day, Pro-
fessor Hadley said, was salvaged
by one man who got himself ap-
pointed to all high offices and
thus ran the country out Of the
hole.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND TIE
SNAIL.

EXCUSE me! l beg your par
don! | hope l didn't hurt you!
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily one day
as he was hopping along with
Nurse Jane Fuzzy WCzzy, going
to an afternoon moving picture
show in the woods,
whats the matter? To whom
are you speaking?" the muskrat
lady housekeeper wanted to know
as she looked around at the bun
ny rabbit gentleman, for Uncle
Wiggily had come to a stop.
81 stumbled over some little
creature here on tho path" spoke
Mr.. Longears. II just wanted TO
make sure i had done it no
harm"
"Why, it's only Gravity snail!"
exclaimed Nurse Jane, as she saw
the small chap moving slowly
along, with his shell house on his
back and his horns sticking out
like a little "Kilo Cow" as the
old song has it.
"Oh, so it is a snail" went on
Uncle Wiggily.
you aren't stopping to beg a
snail's pardon, are you?" asked
Nurse dane, who, though she was
very kind, was a bit hasty at
times, especially when she was
in a hurry to see the moving pic
lures.
"Of course I'm begging the
snail's pardon" said Uncle Wig
gily, IT can go on much faster
than a snail that l ought to watch
out and not step on him."
"Oh--that-is-all-right," said
the snail, speaking very, very,
very slowly, the way he walked
you know" You-did+ -me-no-
harm-Uncle-W iggily - though
kind -of-you-to-
beg-my-pardon. Hope - some
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
"Pooh N Jnsense" scoffed Nurse
Jane, half laughing. Gas if a snail
could ever do you a favor, Uncle
Wiggily. Come on to the picturesl
I'd invite you too, Mr.. Snail"
went on the muskrat lady, "only
you would get there about the
middle Of next week"

THE KILLERS.

The toughs are busy everywhere,

ring, the smell OF powders on the
air, and undertakes dance and

while rare, has now become a
common thing. The burglars now

ing them unsympathetically But
after all. If they are neglected it is
their own fault.
There is an enormous amount of
passing and temporary attention
which falls to the lot of the pretty
girl. But the real friendship and
the lasting affection is much more
apt to go to the homely girl. For
when she does attract, it is not be-
cause of a pretty face but because
of something much more perma-
nent in herself. If you will run
over in your mind all the friends
you know, am sure you will find
that those who have been happiest
in their friendships and marriages
are not the prettiest ones.
This is not an argument for you
to be satisfied with a homely APP

personality Is the one who has all
the advantages--who will not be

NATIONS LEAGUE
ASSEMBLE NEE IS
ON September 5
Agenda Is Not Expected to
Contain Any New Subject
of Particular Importance,
Is Announcement.

Geneva, July 24.-The agenda of
the next meeting of the assembly
of the league of nations to be held
here September is not expected
to contain any new subject of par
ticular Importance, though the
members still have time to submit
any subjects they would like to
have discussed
Thus far there is only one item
put on the agenda at the request of
a member. the Tacna-Arica dispute,
which will be listed at the request
Of Bolivia.
Not many such requests are ex-
pected, most of the work that will
come before the popular body of
the league being the outgrowth Of
work already begun. such as dis
armament, the International court
and the continuation of work that
was referred to special commits
sions, such as the fight against the
white slave traffic. against opium
and for better transit facilities.
Order of Business
AS the work in sight stands the
order of business with such modi-
fications as may be made necessary
by subsequent requests of men,
bers, will be-
Organization of the assembly, re-
ports of special committees APP
pointed at the request of the first
assembly including amendments to
the covenant. registration of treat
les, the economic blockade and the
interior organization Of the league,
the budget, reports Of the provi-
sional technical organizations of
the league including the financial
committees report on the scheme
to resuscitate Austria. election of
eleven Judges for the international
court, the reduction of ornaments,
Bolivia's request for mediation in
the Tacna-Arica dispute, election or
four permanent members or
the council of the league, admls-
sion of new members.
Hungary is thus far the only new
applicant for membership Of the
assembly but there are in suspense
the previously filed applications OF
Latvia, Lithuania. Ukraine, Aver
baijan. Georgia, Armenia and Lich-
tenstein.
Admission OF GcrIauS'
It is regarded as practically cer-
tain in league circles that the as
sembly will be called upon to pass
on the admission of Germany. NO
intimation has been received of an
intention on the part of Germany
to make an application herself, but
several delegations. it Is expected,
will be ready to propose her, taxi
ing as an argument for admission
the fact that the present German
cabinet has shown it's intention to
Loyalty execute the country's obl-
cations.
Germany is expected to have the
support of Italy, Austria. Bulgaria,
Switzerland and the Scandinavian
countries as we'll as that of some
of the South American delegations.

VERSE OF TODAY

Is this defeat then, after all
This new indifference to the street.
This unfelt weight of roof and wall
Is this defeat?
I thought to make my spirit wear
Offering garments of unrest,
To keep my keen, knife-edged despair
Unsheathed and brilliantly unreprassed.
But days have worn my unrest thin;
Times soft fingers gently close
Over my outstretched hand, and in
Their certain touch feel repose.
This l. defeat; will submit.
Resigned to tho quieting decree
OF defeat Z is indec.Lite

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 2s.-
Approximately 100000 members OF the
United Mine Workers of America have
not done q days work since January
l, 1t was said at the hnal session Of
the executive board Of tho union.
meeting at International headquarters
here The remainder of the miners
are working on an average Of about
three days a week. it was said. These
figures do not include those unem-
ployed because of strikes in West Vir-
ginia and Washington.
John L. Lewis, president Of the mine
workers, said the present unemploy-
ment situation is possibly more acute
than 1t has ever been in the history
Of the union.
Coal production is averaging only
a little more than 80 per cent Of the
normal output at the mines," he said.
