j: s. TO KEEP GRIP
ON ALL ITS SHIPS
Board Refuses Proposal to
Give Up Control of
Vessels.

The Shipping Board after an all
day session yesterday rejected the
proposal submitted by. the American
Steamship Owners Association for
the operation of the government
merchant fleet without supervision of
the board
In announcing this decision. Chair
man Farley, said the board hoped
soon to be able to make public n
plan for direct government opera
tion, details of which are now being
work ed out.
Effect of Proposal.
The steam ship owners proposal in
effect. Chairman Farley said. that
the Shipping Board deliver to the
steamship operating companies the
needed vessels to maintain service on
the present established routes for
the absolute control of the operating
company without board supervision,
that the Shipping Board pay the ex-
penses of the operator and in addi-
tion pay all of any losses that would
be incurred in such operation; all
profits to be set aside in a special
fund for the use of the steamship
operator to buy ships from the Ship
ping Board, without obligation as to
Iuture service on the routes.
Warning BY Senator.
A warning against direct government
operation Of the American merchant
marine as permanent policy, is con-
tanned in a statement issued today by
Senator Ransdeli of Louisiana, demo-
crat, president of the National Merchant
Marine Association. Such a course,
Senator Ransdell said, would inevitably
result in driving all private American
shipping from the seas, and in the end
when Congress grows tired of appro-
priating to meet deficits of the Shipping
Board, in the complete withdrawal of
the American merchant marine.
Congress, in the merchant marine act
of 1920, he said. had directed that
everything possible be done to keep the
ships on the seas without direct gov
ernment operation, which was only to
be last resort

rest, lying down, with the affected
leg raised on pillows, affords great
comfort. Constipation should be ov-
ercome, any heart or kidney trouble
looked for, and when the patient gets
about again, the wearing of an elias
tic. well fitting stocking, will help
greatly.
If an ulcer has formed, or If
greatly dilated, curving, veins are
present, it may be necessary, after
period of rest, to relieve the condi-
ton by operation. In operating on
varicose veins, we make use of the
fact that there are two sets of veins
returning blood from the limbs and
that only the superficial set is dis
eased. We therefore deliberately take
out the diseased veins that lie just
below the skin and this forces the
blood into the deep set of veins that
are helped, as before mentioned, by
the support of the muscles. The op-
GRAFTON is simple but may be ex-
tensive-usually heals up in about
ten days. If there is an ulcer to
skin-graft, it may take longer but
the healing is usually permanent and
very satisfactory to the patient.

vARicosE VEINS

One of the common complaints that
causes much pain and disability, es
pecially among women, is varicose
veins of the legs. This trouble is
purely a mechanical one; at the out
set, some unusual pressure on the
veins of the abdomen causes dam
ming back of the blood. This pres
sure Is very frequently from consti-
patton and the arrangement of the
vessels causes the left leg to be af-
fected most frequently. This obstruc-
ton leads to the dilatation of the
veins with thinning and weakening
wall and as the column of blood from
the feet to the heart means very
definite, constant load to carry, the
condition tends to grow worse in
stead of being self-curative as fortu-
nately so many ailments are
The veins affected are those run
ming just below the skin and outside
Of the muscles. 1t is easily under
stood that these vessels have very
little support from surrounding it's
sues as have the deeper veins of the
leg, where the contracting muscles
constantly tend to propel the blood
through the veins.
AS these superficial veins drain the
skin, when a blocking takes place.
the blood backs up into the small
capillares of the skin and as the
tissue is nourished by the blood
stream, it follows that the cells do
not get their usual supply of oxygen
and other foods; the skin becomes
thick and soft, like wet plotting pa
per; the whole leg gets much larger
than 1t should be and some day
bruise on the shin bone that ordi-
narily would not be noticed, causes
a breaking down of these weakened
skin cells and varicose ulcer is
started. These usually expose some
fine nerve filaments and this causes
the extreme pain often found
Occasionally these dilated veins
rupture and quite severe bleeding
occurs. This, as a rule, is not dan
gerous to life and slight pressure
will stop it, but 1t causes the patient
and relatives great anxiety and fear
of its recurrence.
The treatment, Of course, is purely
mechanical and like all other things
medical, it Is absolutely devoid Of
anything mysterious. The common
sense idea Of relieving the pressure
on the enlarged veins would occur to
anyone. This allows the circulation
to become normal again and the skin
and other tissues of leg shrink back
to natural size. In the mild cases,

AGED SALVATION ARMY
LAsSIE REFUSES TO QUIT

NEW YORK. - Commandant EN-
ma Westbrook, the only surviving
member of the original contingent
of lassies who planted the flag of the
Salvation Army in the United States
in 1880, has again served notice on
her superiors that despite her adj
vanced age she will not retire from
active service.
This is about the tenth time in as
many years that the valiant COM
mandant has refused the benefcent
plans Of her organization to put her
on the inactive list. Although she is
nearly 80 years old, she is as alert
mentally and physically as the aver
age man or woman Of so. She par
ticipates in three street corner meet
ings each week in Albany, takes an
active part in the charitable work
of the Salvation Army, and visits
New York city for special meetings
at frequent intervals.
When the original party of eight
came over from England as pioneers
at the behest of General William
Booth, Commandant Westbrook was
the oldest member of the aggrega-
ton. The other seven have lived
their span and gone to their reward,
but the commandant goes vigorously
on. Her refusal to quit constitutes
the only case Of "insubordination"
the Salvation Army has ever toler-
ated.

IT HE 35oth birthday this month Of
= the old copper dragon on the
church of st. Mary-Le-B Bow, Cheap
side, London has aroused much COM
ment both because of it's historic in-
terest ard because it marks a renais-
sance of the copper weather cock in
this country, due to the increasing
use of the tower in American archi-
lecture.
The copper dragon of st. Mary's
was put in place in 1878 during the
reign of good Queen Bess. From its
perch, 221 feet above the pavement,
besides rendering service through tho
storms of centuries, the Cross of St.
George on its wing has served as a
symbol Of the city of London for $50
years.
The dragon is made of sheet cop-
per and is feet, inches long. IL
has been taken down and regiided
four times but the copper has never
needed repairs. 1t is the subject Of
many legends. One of the most in-
teresting, attributed by many to
Mother Shipton, was that If this
dragon and the grasshopper from the
vane of the Royal Exchange ever
net, the streets of London would flow
with blood. They were both taken
down for regilding in 1920 and did
meet. Nothing happened, however.

ANONYMOUS Donor Gives $1OO,
600 Fund to Develop Juvenile
Stories and Authors

Is there a modern and acceptable
substitute for the "Deadwood Dick"
tales, the "Injun" stories, the blood
and-thunder paper-backs of gener-
alton ago that will be acceptable to
both grown-up censors and boy read
ers? Can the writer's Of best sellers,
backed by modern science and inven-
ton, turn out tales that the modern
boy will grab and read as eagerly
as his grandfather read the lurid
but tabooed books and booklets Of
his day?
These are leading questions to
which the executive committee in
charge of the publications issued by
the Boy Scouts of America propose
finding direct answer. This inquiry
has been made possible as result
Of a 100000 gift received from an
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1923-10-05

anonymous cource. This fund Is to
be used initially in developing a
wider range Of contributions to Boys
Life, the monthly magazine published
by the Boy Scouts of America for all
boys.
This 100000 contribution repre-
sents protest against the idea en-
tertained in many quarters that in
nocuous potboilers are the sort of
articles that boys should read. The
fund will be used in placing at the
disposal of the boy reader Of the
talent now almost exclusively en-
ployed in writing for magazines that
are supposedly gotten out for mature
readers.
An Educational Move
"The announcement at the annual
meeting of the executive committee
in charge of Boy Scout publications
of a 100000 gift, to be used in de-
velopng the sort Of writing output
boys need and should have, marks a
new epoch in the Boy Scout move
ment," says James q. West, chief
scout executive.
Everybody who is in any way &C
quainted with the normal boy knows
that he spends considerable time in
reading. In the past much Of this
reading has been done away from
home, or it has been done at home
secretly. The principal reason for
the secrecy has been the fact that
the sort of thing that the boy wanted
to read was not available or accept
able at home. So the boy began the
collection OF his own secret private
library. The general proposition on
the basis of which we are working is
that the boy is naturally construc-
tor-a builder. Moreover, modern
science opens up vistas down which
a clever writer can travel with the
boy reader, encountering thrills
enough to satisfy the most exacting
juvenile audience.
Want Special Stories
"The time has gone by when writ
ing for boys can be underwriting.
The modern boy spots things worth
while instinctively. You cannot fool
him about Treasure Island for ex-
ample. He knows it is a good book.
A perfectly obvious step in connec-
ton with the development Of Boys
Life is to secure for it writing talent
nevery way equal to the talent that
serves magazines designed primarily
for grown-ups. We have already ar
ranged with Arthur B. Reeve for a
series of Craig Kennedy stories. The
Radio Detective Is to be the title.
For this series modern science will
supply the facts, while Reeve and the
boys will supply the thrills.
The expenditure of the 100000
fund at our disposal will, as far as
a portion Of the general public is
concerned, represent an experiment
We do not regard it as such. We
prefer the view that the expenditure
Of this fund represents an opportu.
nifty to recognize the fact that boys
tastes In reading are basically sound,
that the subjects that interest them
in one generation may not interest
them in the next, and that 1t is OBJ

Late Emerson Hough Called

The late Emerson Hough might
we'll be called "The Apostle of the

to any other man, is due the fact
that we have authentic pictures Of

their people or conditions. And
thus has grown up a lurid litera-

which move fabulous heroes and
villains blacker than the night.
But Hough lived amid the con-
ditions he describes. At the age
of twenty-three he was practising
law in the busting, little COW town

knew the pioneers, the despera-
