Ship Subsidy a Naval Bill.

How large is this ship subsidy against which
self-appointed watch dogs OF the treasury rail?
A typical 5.000-ton ship will be paid a subsidy
Of IS cents mile-not much more than the ex-
pense of operating an automobile, all cost con-
sidered. Even when our merchant fleet is sup
plemented by the construction of passenger
vessels, and at last We have a standard mer-
chant marine Of 100000 gross tons-even then
the subsidy will amount to only about thirty
million dollars. That is just one-fifth Of the
saving in federal expenses attained by scrap
ping our battleships in accordance with the
naval disarmament treaty. We shall save $780,
900 900 annually by not having these ships op-
crate
BY destroying our battleships in process Of
building, in exchange for Britain's destroying
blue prints Of ships to be built we equalize our
navy with hers. theoretically Practically we
shall not be equal until we haye a merchant
marine approximately equal with hers. to be
ready to serve as warships and naval auxil-
iaries in war time, and in peace time to train a
personnel from which the navy can recruit
The subsidy aims to encourage the construction
of such an American merchant marine. We
are taking $50, O0O, 900, one-fifth of our savings
through naval disarmament, and applying it to
strengthen that branch of the navy in which We
are weakest That's the meaning of the ship
subsidy as a naval measure

The president has, through his public career,

uttered word or put into effect a policy
which could be fairly interpreted as hostile in
principle or in effect to any legitimate interests

On the contrary. Mr.. Harding has repeatedly
insisted on justice for workers. As an unusual

classes Of the people. he has been characterized
By sense Of fundamental fairness which has
not hitherto been even challenged He has not

Medical science Is a very young

OF the most ancient arts Of man.
Medical theories have often proved
wrong, and then again they have
often proved right. That a mere
medical theory should ever turn
out to have been right. when med
lical science proves it to have been
right, Is q wonderful thing to con-
template, and / doubt that any 9TH
Ier important human endeavor can
compare with medicine in this re-
spect. for generally art follows
meekiy after science instead OF
pointing and leading the way
through the outer darkness. In
medicine it has ever been the art
that has said II believe" II think.
and II hope" and, days or years or
generations later, the science that
has said Eyes. / know now"
The theory that uric acid Is a
cause OF disease has never won
full recognition in actual practice.
So far as medical science has ad-
vanced there has been no confirma-
ton of the theory. On the contrary,
the evidence obtained from actual
tests made under carefully con-
trolled conditions rather goes to
prove that the cause of govt is not

SO called "chalky" deposits in the

There is even some doubt in the
minds of physicians well informed
in science, whether uric acid may
be relied upon as an indicator for
the measurement of the deficient
metabolism or deficient oxidation
in cases of govt and allied dis
eases.
Right now it is customary for
some physicians to have chemical
tests of the blood made to deter

@. Were lotteries ever used for
any public purpose in this coun-
try N. S. e.
A. In the 18th century lotteries
were extremely popular in Amerii
ca. Legislatures authorized them
for every species of public improve
ment, for the building Of churches
and colleges, for the repair of loss
es to individuals by fire and other
wise; for example, Faneuil hall,
after the fire of 1861, was rebuilt
by lottery. The continental con-
gress tried to raise money by lot
terry in 1777.
@. How old is the ice industry?
NJ. F. T.
A. Probably the first ice cut and
shipped as an article of commerce
was sent in 1899 from New York to
Charleston. S. c.. but the real be-
ginning of the industry came in
1905 when Frederick Tudor of Bos-
ton shipped a cargo of 100 tons to
the West Indies. The artificial ice
business dates from 1866. but did
not become Of commercial impor-
lance until about 1880.
