for and will keep in excellent con-
dition.
To RetOuch Paint

quantity Of paint so that you can
retouch the places where the wet
paint has been rubbed.
For Cleaning the Porch
Use a dustless mop for cleaning
your porches instead of scrubbing
them with water. This not only
gives them a glossy look, but the
oil or wax in the mop protects the
wood from the weather and pro-
longs the life Of the paint.
To Keep Window Screens Clean
An easy way to keep the screens
clean and bright boxing is to take
them out every other week and
spray them in the bathtub. This
takes only shor. time and helps
keep the curtains clean, as they
blow against the screens so much.
Any one living IN an apartment
will benefit by this.

There are a few preliminaries to
using your electric sewing machine
Which must be given attention. Per-

ficient to keep it In condition.
Sewing machines divide them.
selves into two general classes
those which produce a double or
lock.stitch, and which produce a.
single or chain-stitcf. The electric
sewing machine Is, first Of all, a
sewing machine which can be had
In the usual types, such as the
rotary shuttle type, the oscillating
shuttle type, the two-spool type.
and the c1ainstitch~ type The ''elec-
trio" part means simply that the
machine Is operated by an electric
motor instead Of being run by foot
power or hand power.
IT your rooms are small and
space Is limited It IS well worth
your while to consider the portable
type Of machine. These small ma
chimes may BE stirred in closet or
other convenient place and carried
to any room where an electric out
let is available
Always place the machine In such
way that the light will come at
the correct angle. If it Is neces.
snry to use your machine in a room
which is poorly. lighted, or to sew
In the evening, use light which
casts It's rays directly upon the area
around the needle. Then there is
no disagreea'ble or trying glare upon

TAG DAY PLANNED IN ANTARCTIC
Whales Are to Be Equipped With
 Identification Discs

Portsmouth, Eng" June 26 P) -- An expedition which is to tag whales with Identity discs, and take other stsb bs to discover more about their haunts and habits, will set out from this port in June for the Antarctic regions to remain for many months while engaged in re- search work. The scientists hope to determine, among many other things: their birth rate low; polyg- amous: their birth w. low; how long they live; how far and where they travel, and what floating or ganisms constitute their food.
 To learn whether whales breed ing in African waters migrate to southern seas 10 feed, small darts bearing metal labels will be fired from a specially designed crossbow into the thick layer of blubber on | the back.

loss was reduced to about s2o,ooO and at the end of this period 1t had fallen below sl7,O0o,
 This Improvements 1t attributed almost entirely 10 improved ad- msnistratIon and increased eiiieien- cy ot operation, As an initial step, the various lines were reorganized hy consolidating those which were in competition with each ahor, or overlapping in the regions served, with the general result that fewer operators were retained, each with an increased fleet operating under conditions more nearly approXimat- Ing the trade requirements While The total number of vessels in the cargo fleet was reduced by these consultations 10 about 800, the i'm provement in the handling of the vessels, reflected in their quicker turnaround, enable us 10 make practically the same number of Voy- ages as before, with substantial in- crease Of cargo and revenue, and a reduction of operating expense, At inc same time we gradually re- duced our overhead and in the elm ina'ion Of unnecessary personnel alone effected savings at the rate Of about s1,jOo,Oo0 a year.
 We regard the Improvement al- ready made as merely q beginning After a careful analysis of all the factors in the case, we feel that the loss per voyage Of the goNernment- owned cargo fleet can be reduced 10 aboupt SS,j4n even If the present unsatisfactory trade conditions con- 1 tinue, but rise in freight rates or any other fayoring condition would, of course, change that figure for the ! better. If and when this result is reached, the total operating loss oi inc cargo fleet may bc expected to he only about s1o.0o0,O0o year | This, however. does not include in- tercst and depreciation charges which must be included if proper comparison is to be made with private operating results, and these two items would increase the pros pectiye voyage loss to about sl@,' . 5oo."
 Discussing the question Of re- placements, which must be consld' cred in any plan Of continued gov ernment operation. Admiral Palmer declared that unless the govern ment can find a way 10 transfer A' fleet 10 private ownership, the cor poration faces the definite prospec of having to spend about SS0o00. ooo year continuously for replace ments alone. After discussing th' possibility Of government aid tt private shipping he said;
 ITO summarize, our country face' three alternatives in respect 10 th merchant marine in foreign trade first, continued government opera ton costing ultimately around $40. nOO. .nO0 a year; second, governmen aid 10 private shipping amonntin 10 about sl5.000,o0o year; O third, the gradual but certain dis appearance of our flag from the in ternational trade routes, and a re turn to our pre-Nar condition whe' less than ten per cent of our for eign commerce was carried I American vessels"
 In conclusion. Admiral Palme discussed a possible program 10
 dealing with our shipping problem
