GERMAN MERCHANT
FLEET GAINS SLOW
Shortage of Tonnage Offset by Fact
That All Her Vessels Are
Practically New.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HAMBURG, June 29.-The growth
of Germany's merchant fleet since the
World War is reflected in the usual
reliable Danish statistics in the pro-
portionate merchant tonnage of vari-
Gus maritime countries to their popu-
lation.
In the list Germany is near the bot
tom with 80 British register tons for
each 900 inhabitants, but gets some
consolation out of it's low standing
from the fact that what there is of
German shipping is of first-class or.
der Having lost so much Of its ship
ping as a result of war settlements,
Germany was obliged to make up
these losses with new vessels. so that
nearly SO per cent of the present mer-
chant marine consists of ships less than
five years old. The low percentage
of the country's merchant fleet was
conSpicuously shown in 1924 in the
port of Hamburg, when the German
flag was represented by only 81 per
cent of the entire traffic of the har-
bor.
The Danish. statistics on proper
tionate tonnage places Norway first
with S32 tons to each 1000 inhab-
itants; England second with 402 tons
and Denmark third with 2S9 tons.

AUTO Tags Increase
$4,000 During Year,
Statistics Indicate

The District of Columbia issued
$4,000 more automobile tags in the
fiscal year just ended than in the
preceding II months, according to
figures obtained yesterday from
Wade II. Coombs, superintendent
of licenses.
The total number of tags sold in
the past fiscal year was 1921
The number sold during the year
ended June 80, 1924, was SO, 400.
Mr.. Coombs explained that the
number of tags sold does not in
dicate the number of automobiles
on the streets, for the reason that
every time a car changes owner
ship new tags must be obtained
for it.
He estimated, however, that
there are probably $4,000 District
machines on the streets, without
allowing for the large number of
foreign cars that pass through the
streets of Washington each day.

BEAUTY FOR GORGEOUS

second to the time inaugural ball

ridor and the banquet room all gave
setting of unsurpassed beauty.

ferent last night, Vice President and
Mrs. Dawes and their party being the

of ankle length, embroidered in silk
