100000 TONS OF
SHIPS IDLE IN PORTS
British Harbors Hold 600 ves-
sells; U. S. Nearly Twice
as Many.

NEW YORK. Aug, 17.-Steam-
ship men estimate one-sixth Of the
worlds shipping, about 10000, 900
gross tons, Is now idle.
OF this volume $500. 900 tons Of
vessels are tied up in the United
States ports, including Shipping
Board and private American boats.
This represents about 40 per cent
of the tonnage under the United
States flag. The English total Is
i 900. 900 tons, or one-tenth OF the
British fleet.
Latest statistics show that on
July l there were ,700,0 900 tons of
British ships tied up in their own
ports, compared with 100000 tons
on January 1.
The recent depression. 1t was
said. was due to the fact that last
winter freight rates reached a low
point and showed a tendency TO
rise. This was met Immediately by
the placing in operation of a still
greater volume of British ships,
which again broke the market.
Rates fell to new low levels.
1t is estimated in British marine
publications that a conservative val
uation on the idle ships at present
prices Is $45 a ton, making the total
tied up tonnage worth about
S45O. 10000 Ships built since 1915
represent a still greater expendi-
ture for construction. The cost of
the Shipping Board vessels now idle
is placed at 81 zoo, 900, 900 alone.
Idle ships in British ports num-
Der 900. In this country the ship
ping Board has tied up about 200
steel vessels, in addition to the a"'
wooden ships.

Not Like Old Times.
Limehouse nights certainly aren't
what they used to be, when the
riffraff of the world came down
from the docks and made Lime
house a nightly International bat
tlefield.
Men from all corners of the world
still slip off their ships and stroll
down East India Dock Road. There
are Malays and Lascars, with tur-
baned heads; long-cued Cinnamon,
sturdy little Japs, black men from
Africa, blond giants from the Scan
dinavias, beared sailors Of the Baltic,
Taucous-voiced Americans and hordes
of deep-throated English saflormen.
They swarm to the corner public
houses and they guzzle their beer,
Some Of them fall for the lure Of
swishing skirts and carmined lips.
Altogether Limehouse has the ap-
pearance Of being a place full OF
swarthy, rough and ready men, but
its battles are few and its nights
of murderous assaults are now only
on the motion picture films.
Slinky Cinnamon still slide and

caverns and the way Of the hop

Bouncers Have Ennui.
Husky bouncers still abound in
the public houses, but for the most
part they stroll over the sawdust
floors and yawn with ennui. Bar
maids are behind the bar and they
seldom have to call on the bouncer
for aid and succor. An occasional
sailorman gets obstreperous. but he
rs treated with such hearty disdain
by his comrades, who want their
'arfapintabitter' in peace and quiet,
and the roisterous one doesn't create
much Of stir.
Limehouse is still no place for a
minister's son, because the men Of
Limehouse don't like ''softies," but
the average person who attends to
his own affairs and doesn't invite
an attack or get into the too sparse
ly travelled by-ways is safe in Lime
house. OF course there are criminals
in Limehouse, who take advantage
of the unfamiliar who travel from
the beaten paths, but the lure of the
Cid Limehouse nights is gone.

FOR DROWNED
official Bulletin Of Bureau Of
Mines Tells How to Resusci- .
tate Victims.

Uncle Sam has come to the
fore with the latest official method
OF procedure in resuscitating a
drowning person.
Now that the antics of the
merry boat rockers and the incau-
tious canoeist are cluttering the
front pages of the newspapers with
the details Of numerous drowning
accidents" said an official bulletin
Of the Bureau of Mines. Interest
attaches to instructions just issued
by this bureau for resuscitation In
cases of drowning"
As soon as the victim Is taken
from the water, the instructions
say, place him face downward,
clasp your hands under his
stomach and lift him several times,
letting his face hang down so as
to drain his mouth and throat.
"Then," the instructions con-
tinue, remove from his mouth any
foreign bodies, such as tobacco,
false teeth or gum. Do not stop to
loosen his clothing. Do not carry
him any distance. Do not wait for
a doctor. Treat him yourself by
artificial respiration methods, as
follows:
Lay Victim on Stomach.
Lay the victim .on his stomach
with his face to one side so that
his nose and mouth are free for
breathing. Place one arm straight
out beyond his head. the other
under his head. This position is
important. as 1t helps to expand his
lungs. Have the head a little
lower than the body.
"Kneel. straddling the victims .

the palms of your hands on his
short ribs, with your thumbs
parallel with the spine and about
two inches apart, and with fingers
spread out as much as possible.

victim. This act should take about
two seconds. Then. leaving your
hands in place. swing backward
slowly SO as to remove the press

onds to your first position"
The swinging forward and back
ward process, the instructions EN-.
phasiZe, should be repeated deliber-
ately at least fifteen times a min
ute. a complete respiration in about
four seconds. The movements
should be kept in time with your
own breathing.

Queen Alexandria, the Queen Mother,
now in her 18th year. is far more active
than most women Of her age. She might
take life far easier than she does, but
she evidently Is opposed to the idea Of
being laid on the shelf.
She likes 20 show herself among the
people and she Il gratified by the ap-
plause with which he appearance always
is greeted. Undoubtedly 1t acts Is sort
of psychological tonic upon her and helps
her to feel as young as she looks.
She crowds many activities into day.
One day recently she appeared in public
at the Cart Horse Parade for prizes IN
Regents Park: then at concert in aid
of workshops for disabled soldiers. and
finally at hte Richamond Horse Show.
But she makes two concessions to adj

Farmers Of Escambia country are hard
hit this season, duo to the abnormally
heavy freight rates, and j. Lee Smith,
county agent, said yesterday afternoon
that the situation has never been more
discouraging in the county than 1t is to-
day.
"The strike situation seems to be pref
ty bad" said Mr.. Smith, ''but the whole
railroading business seems to be in a bad
way. particularly in It's relation to freight
rates, which are now. Just about double
what they were before the war.
Profits Eaten Up.
ITO give you an idea Of what the far
mers Of this county are up against, let
us take three concrete instances where
farmers Of this county have shipped pro-
duce to market and had their profits
consumed by the freight.
'sHere IL one shipment of cucumbers
sent in a refrigerator car which sold in
Cleveland for $562.2o. Tho freight on this
was 1907 90, and besides this there was
$500 to pay for carriage. and $3s.35 paid
in commissions. These cucumbers sold
for So cents for first and rs cents for
seconds.
Got $3.50.
Mr., smith cited anoIner instance WherO
one farmer sold a carload in Cleveland
for $s1s.25, on which the freight was
s2ss. 35, besides carriage and commissions.
his net earnings on the carload having
been $500.
Even worse than this was the situation
Of one Bscambia county farmer who sold
a carload OF cuoumbers for $325.00 and
found the freight bill total $3.50. 4S. max
ing a loss OF $1o4.72 including commits
sions and carriage. mot only was the
freight beyond reason" said Mr.. Smith,
but the cucumbers were nine days on
the way, when the trip should have been
made In four; causing many Of them to
turn yellow In transit.
Potatces Fair.
''The market price on cucumbers has
not been good, and In fact 1t has been
an off season on watermel0ns and po-
tatoes, too said Mr.. Smith. except the
very first crops Of potatoes, which
brought good prices.
.'The weather has had something to
do with this. but 1t Is mainly due to the
terrific freight rates. which are eating
UP the profits OF the farmers, with no
early relief in sight"
Mr.. Smith was very frank In saying
