Making a fool of a man Is a silly woman's
pastime, but making man of fool has proved
a clever woman's Waterloo.
Congenality is the spontaneous desire Of two
people to do the same thing, at the same time, in
the same way; but many pair who believed
themselves twin-souls can't even agree after mar
riage where to hang the thermometer or when
to put the baby to bed.

Depression Noted
BY Lloyd's In
Shipping World

London, Nov. IS CA. p. by maiD--
I.loyd's Register Of Shipping, for the
third year in succession, has report
ed a persistent depression in the ship
building industry.
Easing its reports on the year eud-
cd June 80, the society declares that
the tonnage OF new vessels classe,l
by 1t constituted the lowest recorde |
during the last Is years. with thu
exception Of the second year Of the
war, and was S. percent Of the total
for 1929; IS percent OF that for
19e1-22, and 81 percent of 1920-2i.
A total Of asa vessels of C00.5?5
tons gross was lost, and some 500
vessels of L250.00O tons were dis
mantled or broken up during the
year. Notwithstanding this removal
Of more than 1.750,000 tons of ship
ping, the mercantile fleet of the world
is even now greater by about $4,000
900 of tons than II was In 1914, hut
on the other hand there is a large
! proportion of laid up tonnage which
will probably not again successfully
seek employment. Any serious re-
vival in overseas traffic will proba bly,
lead to further elimination Of I'M
economical tonnage, some OF whic,i
+, Is still In service.
| Shipowners appear to be fully
alive. the report says. to the neces-
sity of providing themselves with up
to-date fleets, and during the year
plans for 4S9 vessels of 1.30s.S45 tons
; were passed by the society. These
figures. 1t Is pointed out. are appre-
ciably in excess Of those for 1929 ~.

Navigators and
Astronomers Will
Conform Regular Time

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE last day OF
1894 will be short one Cor naviga-
tors and ASTRONOMERS day of only
~ hours. For midnight Of December
81 will mark the passing Of the ven
cradle custom of Seameu and stu
dents of the stars OF reckoning their
days from noon until noon and their
capitalization to the custom of the rest
of the world which begins its day
and ends it, at midnight. On January
1, 1895. the astronomical day will
merge it's identity with the civil day.
according to an announcement in the
Harvard College observatory bulletin
distributed today. II. 4. Stetson, as
sistant professor of astronomy at
Harvard. said tonight that the
change had been DECIDED upon in
connection with the nautical days.
In explaining the new order of
things. Professor Stetscn said that
the change was adopted primarily to
avoid confusion. Tho Astronomical
day was, originally, arranged So that
the astronomer making observations
during the night would not have his
work complicated by change of.date
at midnight. The difficulty will be
accepted now. however. In preference
to the possible confusion resulting in
the IL hours time difference In days
and dates.
The change was made by general
agreement. he said. the civil day dis
placing the astronomical Tor all pur-
poses. Announcements win be reck-
oned from the Greenwich mean mid
night and designated civil time. The
Julian day will be considered as CO.
incident with the civil d:y and II Is
proposed to designate II as Julian
civil day. the bulletin states. For
astronomers the first Julian civil day
will bear. the number e,4e4,l6s.
Nautical calendars AM aimaricS
for 1925, are, according TO frofessu.'
Stetson. prepared in conformity with
the changed reckoning In dates. TIL"
positions of stars will BE- designated

In French Ministry

Paris. Dec. 14.-(By A. P)-The
Shadow of a coming ministerial crisis
has been thrown across the political
pathway by Premier Herriots illness.
Although the carefully official bulletin
regarding the premier's condition to-
day says the physicians expect the pre-

from suggesting that he probably will
be able to resume work then. His ab-
sence for q period of convalescence, It
Is generally admitted, IL impossible
owing to the many difficult problems
now before the government.
How severe the pain hrs been during
NJ. Herriot's illness is indicated in to-
days statement. which says that "for
the first time in five days the premier
has been able TO sleep some hours"
The bulletin docs not describe the ma
ture of the ma'ady from which the
premier is suffering. The only medical
! term ured Is than the pcri-venous affec-
tion is developing normally and within
n limited space. IT is thought, howev-

State Librarian
Speaks at NJ. E. Church

Rev. Henry r. Dunnack, State Lii
brarian, spoke Sunday evening at
the Methodist Church in the last of
the series of special addresses given
there this year. His theme was the
Tragedy of Farmer" Mr.. Dun
nack's introduction was pleasingly
personal. He recounted a series of
amusing experiences of his boyhood
on farm. The basis of his address
was the biblical story of a farmer
who had much goods laid up as he
thought for many years, but of whom
his soul was required while he was
still planning how to save and enjoy
those goods.
He spoke of Maine as an agricul-
tural state. but a state in which the
farmer in years gone by had been
compelled to work hard. He deciar-
cd that perhaps, after an. Names
most famous product was great peo-
pie. AMI gave as illustrations the
leaders >in the three great national
reforms. Lovejoy, Neal, Dow and
Dofothea Dix, the inventore, Shaw,
and the sculptor, Simmons. Then.
returning to his theme. he spoke of
the uncertainty of farmers re-
wards and declared that the farmer
in the story was interesting because
he had become rich. He had had in
telligence, ability to plan, thrift and
the power to work hari. Most peo-
pie. Mr.. Dunnack declared, lack this
power. Most of US work only as hard
as We have too to get by. Then he
said that in spite of all these things
the parable shows that the man was
unwise. Not unwise for what he had
done. but, like most Of us, for what
he had left undCne. He had for.
gotten death and he had forgotten
the judgement. We should remem-
Der death enough to prepare for It
and not leave things too hard for
those dependent upon us. Mr.. Dun
mack was forceful and interesting,
with swift changes from humorous
TO serious and he'll his audience well.
