Mrs. Dakan Also Tells What This
 Medicine Does

was sick over A year, then a friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and started to pick up as soon as I began taking it. Then I took it again before my first baby was born and never had bit of trouble. l recommend it highly" Mrs. JANE CRossAE, G12 Pine St., Wilmington, Delaware.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many other women just as it has helped Mrs. Dakan, Mrs. Meyn and Mrs. Crossan.
 Consider the statements of these women. They give you the benefit of their actual experience with the Vegetable Compound.
 A nationwide canvass of women purchasers of the Vegetable Com pound reports that 98 out of every 100 have been benefited by it's use.
 This is a remarkable record and proves the dependabilityof the medi- cine for the relief of the troubles women often have.
 For weak and rundown conditions so common after childbirth it is well adapted. It strengthens and tones up the system and restores normal health.
 The Vegetable Compound contains TO harmful drugs or narcotics and can be taken in safety by the nurs- ing mother. For sale by druggists everywhere.

MERCHANT MARINE
 NEARER REALITY
Vice Chairman of Shipping Board
 Defends Work Done

New York. March 5.--The shipping board has taken q long step toward building up q permanent merchant marine by it's ceriiication to the inter state commerce commission that sui ticient tonnage exists 10 warrant the placing in effect of section 2S ot the merchant marine act, F.. C. Plum mmor. vice-chairman Of the board. declared in an address today before the Pro- peller club Of the port of New York.
 Nr. PIummrr explained that the boards action was taken in accord ance with q mandatory provision Of the act and was Of an Progressive move" on it's part He disputed claims that American tonnage was made anate and that application of the preferential rate clause would disrupt the railroad rate structure. asserting they were made in ignorance" of the facts.
 There is nothing in the law. he said, forbidding any or all Of the exports and imports of this country travelling in foreign ships"
 If an exporter prefers to uss a foreign ship that is his privilege. The only changed condition produced by the release Of this law is that if his through shipments are handled by American vessels, he gets lower railroad rate for such goods. when they arc being brought from the in terior to the seaboard or are being carried from the seaboard to the in- terior points, than he can get if he patronizcs foreign ships.'
 Some United States ports have eX- port and import rates. said Mr. Plum mer, and all that is necessary to put all ports Of the country on basis of equality under section 9S is merely 10 establish similar rates" at those where they arc not in effect.
 This rate" he continued, might he arrived at by merely providing for. say, a 10 per cent reduction from domestic rates. That simple char.o certainly would not affect the general rates. That simple change certainly would not affect the general rate structure, but it would give a financial reason for patronizing American ves- sells in our foreign trade"
 Section aS would have gone into effect more than twenty-three years ago, he said, if the board had not caused its suspension duo to the de- tieiencv in American tonnage. With tho completion of the world war and establishment of efficient ocean sery- ices under the American flag, he add ed. that condition disappeared but the board maintained the suspension "t0 give onr competitors every opportnni- ty to adjust themselves" and to enable the interstate commerce commission" to make such rearranrcments as might be required to perfect the rail- road rate systen." lt also waited ito demonstrate fully the ability Of Amer lean vessels to handle the bulk of our foreign commerce" hn continued. and, during the period of suspension, co- operated in every way with foreign sips and Faithfully respected" the |, rms of all rate conferences The net result of tho two year test 'to that thread .hare asseryrration that ocean commerce is free to all and oqnal service will mean an caHal share Of the business" said M".

the result Of misjudgment due to
failure to grasp the situation.
Investigation Of collisions between
cars have revealed particularly loose
thinking on the part Of the drivers.
For instance, q driver going uphill
approaching an intersection tries to
accelerate to avoid q collision and
the driver coming down hill slams
on his brakes.
In such a case II both drivers had
been quick to note the differences
in the grade their individual actions
would have been reversed and the
differences in the grade would have
permitted the one to stop quickly
and the other to accelerate quickly,
thus avoiding a collision.
The first step to be taken by the
average driver in safeguarding him.
self and others is to learn to think
quickly and reason accurately.
A competent driver fails to be
surprised at anything another
driver does, and therefore avoids
accidents simply because he con.
siders the possibility that the other
driver cannot be expected to think
Of him.
AS matters stand there is entirely
too strong a tendency to assume
that the other driver lis giving his
responsibilities his best thought
