The St. Lawrence Delusion

The hackers of the st. Lawrence
waterway assume two things in pre-
dieting economic success for that
project One is that there is con
siderable export tonnage from lake
ports available for handling by
oceangoing vessels. The other is
that it can be carried more cheaply
10 foreign countries by oceangoing
vessels.
Mr.. Adam E. Cornelius, repre-
senting the steamship owners Of the
Great Lakes. has recently set forth
some facts challenging these two as
sumptions. He says that the cast
bound and westbound lake traffic in
,he eight-months period Of naviga-
ton has gone as high as 100, 900 ,oo0
gons. But Of THIS total Go.00o.000
tons is iron ore shipped from
Lake Michigan or Lake Superior
ports to Lake Erie ports. Thirty
million tons OF coal is carried bac.
from Erie ports to Michigan and
Superior ports. OF the remaining
10,0oO,o ,o00 tons half is for Domestic
consumption and only 5000, coo tons
. per cent OF the totaI-is intend
ed fer ocean shipment.
Existing lake freights are carried
n a special type Of vessel-the most
economical anywhere in operation.
At Two Harbors, Mich, q 1900
bo1 lake boat was recently loaded
w.th 1900 tons Of iron Gre in six
teen aud half minutes. This cargo
was unloaded at Conneaut, Ohio, in
three hours and FIVE minutes.
freight rates for iron ore and coal
are eHtf-.neiy low--beyond any pos
sibilits of competition on the part OF
vessels built for ocean service.
The construction cost OF lake
freighter Of 10000 tons averages
100000. That Of an ocean steamer
Of the same tonnage was, during the
war, s1.500,0OO. The lake steamer
nays for insurance SIS 900. the ocean
steamer would pay from $4,000 to
$4,000. The former has a crew Of
thirty men; the latter would have a
crew of fifty men. The slow passage
down the st. Lawrence would also
greatly increase the balance OF oper-
ating cost against the ocean type cf
vessel.
In Mr.. Cornelius's opinion a St.
Lawrence canal would not ofer sub
stantial relief 20 the Middle Western
shipper. It would not create new
1raffic and could not handle existing
traffic ct lower cost than it can be
handled by the lake steamer and the
Erie Canal barge. Tne canal barge
IS being heightened and reshipnent
facilities in New York darbcr will
soon be greatly improved. The pres
ent route 70 the seaboard is the most
advantageous one from the econon1;c
point of view, and, according to Mr..
Cornelius's showing, is the only ono
on which a further reduction o.
freight rates from the Great Lakes
ports to the seahoaYd and beyond can
be ACCOMPLISHED.

Women in Business
Typical Instance of Widow
Daughter Who Made Good


% the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Indignation prompts me to re-
ply TO the letter of A. Sidney Johnston
on "Women IN Mems Jobs" Did it
ever occur TO Mr.. Johnston that there
are many women IN business who were
forced to support themselves either
through the incaiciency Of the men
in their households or through the
death of the supporting member, who
made insufficient provision for his
family?
Many OF these women, starting as
stenographers, have risen to positions
of Importance and trust through sheer
ability Many of these women arc
not only supporting themselves but
providing comforts and luyurics to
thoir mothers. brothers and sisters.
Does MIR. JohNstoa think such women
arc going to sit back and twiddlc their
thumbs while some man pays the bills
and dolcs out pocket money?
l would like the space to cite just
one instance (not nay own)--a mother,
left with two small daughters and
no visible means of support. She
manages to save enough ont of the
wreckage to start tiny store, selling
candy and small stationery supplies
TO school children. sends the older
daughter through school and to busi-
ness college ithis without the assist
ance Of u1an).
The older daughter gets a ioo as
stcn ograplcr. and, being smart dixie
her mother), she steps up and up uu-
til she holds the most important job
in The organization next to the boss.
She sends her Younger sister through
school and through normal school. and
when thc Younger girl makes good as
teacher and gets salary increases the
older daughter is able to buy home
III the suburbs and the old mother is
sble TO give up her little store and
live in comfort for the rest OF her
lie. BY this time the older daughter
has passed through her thirtics and
entered her forties.
am curious to know what A. Sid
ney Johnston would recommend in
such case. Is it his idea that Con
gress. in addition to taking awag the
jobs, would undertake to provide hus-
bands for the along g-in-years successful
business woman?
The old cry of the disgruntled male
was that women worked for less than
men and that threw lot Of men OFT
of jobs. Nowadays a good business
woman is worthy OF her hire and she
demands and gets good pay. With
equal education and cqu-l opportunity,
the men had better watch their step,
or they will soon all be staying home
and washing dishes while the clever
wife earns the living

Sir: Coupled with the protests
against the adjusted compensation
project Of the various veteran organi-
zations. we find almost always sympa-
thetic comments relative to the dis
abled eX-service men.
Last summer camp for disabled
ex-seryice men Irrespective Of organi-
zation) was carried on at Fire Island,
N. Y, under the auspices of com
mittee composed Of representatives of
the Federal Board for Vocational
Training, the Mayors Committee, the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars aud the
American Legion. Unfortunately this
camp incurred deficit OF approximate
ly $4,000, and $1,7o0 of the deficit has
been met through the friends of the
Y. F. W. If the friends Of the Ameri-
can Legion can raise $4,000 | am as
surcd that the V. F. ". can raise the
balance.
Is it asking too much for you to pub

began to write an account OF viii
fred Ewart's fine story of England and
the war, "The Way Of Revelation"
when / was sidetracked to reminiscence
Of Penguin's essay by the symphonic
nature of the names in that novel.
Seldom since the beggar maid muir
INJURED "Penelophon," to King Cophetua
has there been such an assemhlage of
alluring vocables as is to be found in
the names of the people in THE Way
Of Revelation" Mr.. Ewart is as mu-
sical in his appellations as he who en-
titled the Paris streets and boulevards
or the sleeping cars or the apartment
buildings. For instance, we change ex-
press trains at Basingstoke en- route
for the week end at Arden Park in
Hampshire, hard by Stane Deveril and
the Three Hills. In our party or there
abouts are the following: Lady Rose
mary Meynell, Miss Faith Daventry,
Miss Venetia Romano, Miss Keneln
Miss Lettice Kenelm, Mrs. Rivington, Of
Rivington; Miss Ingleby, Miss Gina
Maryon, vorticist; Lady Crawford, Sir
Adrian Knoyle, Captain Eric Quentin
Sinclair, Captain Cyril Orde, Lord Foth-
eringay, Mr.. Ralph Heathcotc. Captain
Arthur CORVALLIS and the Vicar of
Arden.
All of the above-mcntioned persons
in "The Way Of Revelation" prove to
be as interesting as is the promise Of
their names. Katherine Fullerton
Gerould says that the cheapest, easiest.
most disreptable trick reviewer can
play on his author Or his public is to
give away the plot of story or even
its main situation; and that his busi-
ness is to determine whether or not
the author has achieved the authors
intention. 1t depend, perhaps, on the
reviewer. One trusts that one has not
betrayed too much the contents of "The
Way of Revelation" (frst printed in
1920 by exposing the eloquent names
of it's characters, and so indicating
what they are and what they do. Lest
be tempted to engage further in the
cheap and disreputable habits of the
otiose reviewer | shall recall, merely
as terminus, q remark, utterly in
apropos, once made by John Barrymore
the actor. In care-free restaurant
OF the Middle West one night
years ago Mr.. Barrymore was accosted
in passing by an inviting and highly
pismented lady OF obvious occupation,
as she undulated Hospitality from the
room. "What's her name ?" said J.
! curious. Mr.. Barrymore pondered a
moment and then replied "Her name,
think, is Legion"

The cssayist Penguin" discussing the
influence of names in fiction, advised
novelists as we'll as godparcnts in real
life to exercise acumen in christening
the people of their stories. Names, he
thought, both as they sound and as
they are written, leave, like scents and
colors, an amazing power OF suggcs-
ton. What could Lorna Doone be
called except Lorna Doone? To give
her any other name is to change her
Dickens's skillful practice in the mat
ter is commonplace; and he was more
successful when he depended on the
Privy Council Education lists for
Cheeryble or Siss Wegg than he was
when arbitrarily he coined Lord Veri

of such eloquent made-up patronymics
as Shakespeare's Mouldy. Shallow,
Feeble and Shadow; Fielding's Court
y and Slipsop; Smollett's Pickle and
Trunnion, Sheridsns Mrs. Malaprop,
and Van Brugh's Sir Fopling Flutter
suggest the efficient employment OF

"would have Lydia Languish called

Here is Leon Gozlan's story Of how
Balzac compelled him to walk the

Zola said that dissonance between
a name and character was fatal to
novel, and he judged a young writer
mainly by what he called his person

Flaubert had boarded Bouvard for
seven years, and was SO depressed

More Truth Than Poctry
By James !. Montague

The Optirnist
The barren elms sway to and fro,
The wind is shrewd and chill,
And underneath the drifted snow
The seeds are sleeping still.
But on his perch above the gate,
Throughout the gloomy day,
The sparrow chatters 20 his mats
That spring IS on the way.
There IS no portent in the SKY
Of brighter days to come.
On leaden wings the crow sails by,
The jay sits sour and glum.
But on his perch above the gate
With hope eternal filed,
The sparrow chatters 10 his mate:
Lets find a place to build"
The ehostly trees, all bare and
dead.
We pensively behold.
We know that March is still ahead.
With wind and snow and cold.
But on his perch above the gats
The sparrow fiirt5 his wing,
And chatters to his little mate:
Well, we'll, Here's young
Miss Spring.
The sparrow hasn't any song
To charm our cares away.
He chatters, chatters, all day long
Upon his cheerful way.
With neither beauty nor with art
Was he by nature blessed,
ct what a brave and hopeful
heart
Beats in that little breast

More attention to world aupply
