SAIL STILL HOLDS ITS OWN.
Many of Our Modern Schooners
Bigger Than Old Clipper Ships.


A fair sized coasting schooner of
today-say the average four master
is bigger ship than were most OF
the famous clippers which raced to
China and the Straits half a century
ago and caused such a wonderful
Juror in the maritime world of their
day. Indeed some of our modern
five masters would make all but two
small.
Take, for instance, one of the big
coal carriers with a cargo of $500
tons: you will have TO search quite a
while through the roster of the clip
pers to match her. Only a few. like
the Sovereign of the Seas and the
Great Republic, were larger, and
these are matched or exceeded by the
few six-ma sted schooners of today.
In speed the comparison is less
favorable to the schooner. The steam
ship has pre-empted fast freight as
well as mail and passenger service.
with the result that the modern sail
ing ship makes no bid for speed. Her
speciality is to carry bulk cargoes at
low cost.
Still, many of the big wind-jam-
mers of today have fair lines where
they count most"-that is. at bow and
stern-and can log twelve knots in
WHOLESALE breeze. When one reflects
that the cargo carried is probably
twice that which could have been put
aboard clipper ship Of the same
general dimensions, the sacrifice OF
two or three miles per hour in speed
does not seem great loss. Unques-
tionably the schooner Is the more eff
flcient carrier.

SAYS TURKEY NO PLACE
FOR ANY BACHELORS
From the Wide World Magazine.


The lowest age at which marriage
can be contracted in Turkey is fixed
at eighteen. Those who at twenty
have not voluntarily married are
compelled to do so by the state. He
who tries to get off by pretending
sickness has to have himself exam
ined by a physician appointed by the
proves him unfit for marriage he gets
a certificate that exempts him. But
If there is any prospect that he still
may become fit he is then treated at
the expense of the state and is kept
under observation until he is able to
comply. He who, without sufficient
reason, refuses to marry loses all civic
right and has to pay the state a quar-
ter of his income in order that the
poor may receive dowries.
The Turkish bachelor, accordingly,
becomes a disfranchised member of
society, and only very rich people
who renounce any position in the
state can indulge in this luxury. But
the solicitude OF the state goes much
further; 1t also sees to it that hus-
band does not abandon his wife by
going on a journey. for too long a
time. In case one sets out for a Jour-
ney without taking with him his
wife he must have the special per-
mission Of the authorities. A widower
must marry again. but If he has pass
ed his fiftieth year he may choose
between taking a new wife or sup
porting few orphans.

Woman Rule in Pure State.
From the Adventure Magazine.


While in some parts Of the great In
dian empire the Hindo wife is so sub
iected to her husband that she is not
supposed to eat at the table with him
or even look him in the face, in the
proyince Of Travancore, on the other
hand, "matriarchy," or the rule of
woman, survives almost in its pure
state.
In marriage the woman chooses her
husband and he comes to her house
to live. Until quite recently she could
dismiss and divorce him whenever
she felt like 1t. Now, however. d.
vorce is by mutual consent. The
woman is the head OF the family. She
owns property in her own right.
When she dies her property passes
on to her children, but that Of her
husband on his death passes on to
his mothers nearest kin.
There are no child marriages in
Travancore, such as prevail through
out the rest of India, where there are
millions of child widows. This prov
ince has less illiteracy than any
other state in India. Its people claim
they are the most progressive, pros
porous and happy in all India.

Cloth Painted by Hand.
From the Popular Mechanics Magazin,


In the days before the printing ma
chine was invented or even until its
use became general calico cloth was
printed by hand by the block method
BY this method the design was out
lined on the surface of a wooden
block, the outlines were bounded by
pieces of brass or copper, and the
surface filled in with felt to hold the
color, and sometimes designs of as
many as three or four colors were
printed by this method. When the
block was completed it was dipped
in a color box, and the pattern was
then impressed upon the fabric by
stamping by hand, and for each color
to be printed the cloth had to be
stamped by a separate operation.
The work was slow and laborious
and in printing even some patterns
that were printed in those days 1t
would take man and one or two
helpers a whole year to print as
many yards Of cloth as can be printed
on modern printing machine In
probably day or a little more.

Grasshoppers in Test.
From the Vida World

Grasshoppers are being grown in
Kansas in a study Of inheritance of
cattle, sheep and man. One hundred
thousand grasshoppers of forty sue
ceeding generations can be raised as
cheaply and quickly as 100 cattle
over three generations. AS the prin-
ciples of Inheritance appear to be
the same with these insects and the
the higher animals, the scientists may
make a short cut to knowledge of the
more slowly breeding forms in this
way.
A new color pattern has appeared
in one group of these grasshoppers
bein bred in the laboratory Of the
ton. This color scheme has bred true
for over seven years, the charac-
teristic having appeared through
twenty five generations. BY cross
ing these insects with others showt
ing natural color patterns still newer
combinations have been obtained.
But these new combination forms
breed true only when kept isolated
from the elemental patterns from
which they were derived.

Raw Sugar Price Advance Is I'M
Dortant Factor.
BY STUART T.. WEST.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
NEW YORK. June 23.-Today's
price movement in the stock market
was very much mixed. but with an
underlying note of hrmness through
out.
One of the important Incidents to-
day was the confirmation of the sale
late Friday of raw sugar at 6 cents
a pound, as against Tuesdays low OF
S cents. This bore out the best in
formation which has been that the
decline in sugar prices was the result
of the general speculative commotion
rather than in any change from the
strong statistical position In the
sugar market. Sugar stocks had raj
lied on Thursday and Friday as
satisfied today with holding most OF
their gains.
Rail Control Changes.
Oil shares, while they did not gain
much. were evidently in better de-
mand. This was especially true of
MARYLAND which got back above forty,
the subscription price OF the new
issue. 1t was reported that quite a
part of the new offering had been
taken up by short interest put
out at higher figures some time ago
Also it was said that another oil
company had threatened to buy up
the remainder If the Marland stock
holders themselves We're unwilling
to do so.
Formal announcement that control
OF the Pittsburgh and West virginia
Railway Company has passed to the
futile Hartman interests had been
expected and the stock had dis
counted the news in its 5-point rise
for Friday. Standard Oil of Cali
fornia ran up point and ended al
the top.
The market closed firm, with prices
generally around the previous day S
final.
Baltimore and Ohio Gossip.
1t has been expected in Wall street
that Baltimore and Ohio common
stock will go on at least per
cent basis in the fall. Distribution
depends upon net income, for Balti-
more and Ohio has no reserve avail
able for dividends on its junior issue,
as some other companies have.
1t will be necessary to do con-
siderable refnancing not later than
1925, when approximately s125.000,-
900 will have matured Baltimore
and Ohio is being we'll managed, and
the indica tionS are that, with net
income holding up 10 point an
ticpated, dividends on the common
will not only be earned but pald.
Nothing has been disbursed on
this issuance since March 1919.
In the wake of Fridays declaration
by the Corn Products Refining directors
of an extra dividend of s1.o0 on the
common, in addition to the $50
regular distribution, the stock sold
down today. The news came out
just before the close Friday. and was
regarded as one of the things re-
sponsible for the better tone in the
general market. Realizing sales
made themselves felt, however, this
morning 1t was reported that
temporary slackness in Corn Products
business may be expected early in
the second half year. Earnings for
the full year have been estimated
at about $50 share.

Declares "Pin Money" Has Real
Legal Meaning.
From the Adventure Magazine.

From the Adventure Magazlne.
Pin-money, though used commonly
as a general term for the occasional
extras that husband chooses to give
his wife, has as we'll a perfectly defin-
lite legal meaning. The expression
originated as long ago as the four
teenth century. when metal pins as
a novelty in England were not only
extremely costly. but were allowed to
be sold only on certain days of tho
year. Among rich people. therefore:
these luxuries were looked upon as OF
great Importance, and lawyers in
drawing up a marriage settlement
would specially refer TO the sum that
the lady was to be allowed yearly for
dress and pin-money, as opposed to
what she might be given to spend on
her husbands household.
The term is still used in English
law, where money" If properly
secured by settlement, is not liable
to seizure for husbands debts. a
wife, moreover, may legally save her
pin money. whereas she may not save
her housekeeping allowance.

BOND QUOTATIONS
SLIGHTLY UPWARD
Firm Tone Shown in Brief
Session Today-Rai|road
Issues Go Higher.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 23.-The BOND
market was firm today and in some
cases even strong. Probably this
condition was due to the same inf1u-
ences prevailing in the stock mar
ket. Returning confidence In general
financial stability was very evident.
In the case of the bonds of some
of the less prosperous railroads
President Harding's program of sup
porting the weak roads by combin-
ing them with the strong may have
been factor, although there was a
good deal Of skepticism as to the
actual carrying into effect Of the
plan. Meanwhile such second grade
issues as Missouri Pacific General
As, Western Maryland As and To-
ledo, st. Louis and Western As were
favored.
Railroad Issues Active.
Among railroad bonds to sell high
or were Missouri, Kansas and Texas
adjustment 5s. Chesapeake and Ohio
convertible AVS. Seaboard Air Line
ments. While the Seaboard Air Line
is generally classed as weak road
under present conditions. it would
not take much help to raise it's
status. The Erie is in this same
classification and, while there were
no great changes in quotations, Erie
bonds were we'll taken today.
There was little doing in high
grade securities. Liberty 312s We're
slightly higher and other United
States government bonds about the
same. Nor was much interest shown
in the legal rails.
Foreign bonds were still irregular.
The new Austrian loan held around
yesterdays high. Paris, Lyon and
Mediterranean 6s advanced frac-
tionally, so did Argentine SIS. Heavi-
ness was still manifest in the Czecho-
slovakia and Jugoslav SIS and in the
Bolivia IS.
Utilities Picking I'D.
A little more interest was shown in
the utilities. Hudson and Manhattan
incomes were substantially higher,
while the refunding IS were above the
same. Considering the steady good
earnings Of the company, the fact
that the refunding SIS sell on 61z
per cent basis and that they are near
ly five points below the high of the
year. makes them look cheap. Third
Avenue adjustments were fairly ac-
tive and slightly higher. American
Water Works and Electric collateral
trust 5s sold off fractionally. notwith-
standing the present favorable earn
ings statement.
