$4,000 GROSS TONS
U. S. Mark Below Total for
Previous Quarter, Is
Lloyd's Report.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 13-American
shipbuilding fell $4,000 gross tons in
the quarter ended September &c. 1927,
below the total for the previous quar-
ter, according to Lloyd's Register, pub
lished yesterday.
This country dropped from fifth
place at the end of June to seventh
place, France and Denmark having
surpassed it in ship construction. In
the period of yesterdays report, only 3
per cent of the 100000 tons mer-
chant shipping contracts throughout
the world were under auspices of
American yards.
AT the end of September last year.
the United States had 1923 gross
tons under construction, whereas the
figure for September this year was
only 91,070.
The worlds total of 5000 900
is 100000 tons under the pre-
war record set June 80, 1914,
yet it is nearly 1,250,000 more than a
year ago. Great Britain and Ireland
are at the top now, with 1,536,416 tons
"a gain of 146,02S over the preceding
quarter and 761 ,619 more than the
quarter expiring with September a
year ago.
Lloyds statistics show that Ger
many has attained second place with
516,245 as against fifth place one year
before, when her total merchant con-
struction was 1881. Germany is
second to the United Kingdom in
motorship contracts, which are still
advancing. the worlds total Septem-
ber 30 last being 1,5S9,090, or more
than half OF all merchant shipbuilding.
The United Kingdom, Germany
Denmark, Sweden and Russia are the
only gamers in tonnage according to
Lloyd's report; Italy and Holland oc-
cupy third and fourth places, respec-
lively, followed by France, Denmark
and America.

That Rose-Scented Past.

"RED is going to take me to
the concert tomorrow night"
remarked Kitty pulling down
her tight little hat over her
smart bob.
The sentence TO Jane meant the
definite tumbling Of a dream-castle
that had held her in thrall for two
years.
For two years she had loved the
somewhat silent cashier who worked
in the same downtown office. He had
shared his umbrella with her on the
first night of his employment there
and, unless she had been grievously
mistaken, there had been a distinct
admiration in his dark eyes at their
first meeting.
He had talked gravely Of his dis
like for the modern ways of girls, and
Jane, who had decided upon a bob
and a briefer suit, had changed her
mind. After all. the old-fashioned
women had been mighty sweet. just as
he said. and what better could d girl
do than to keep within the boun-
daries of gentlewomen?
Jane. staring bleakly at the ruins
| of her two-year dream, bit her lips
savagely. lips quite guiltless of even
a rose lipstick. Keeping back her i'm
minent tears by an enormous effort,
she lifted her lashes and looked criti.
cally at the filing clerk.
The Spring of 1927 saw some ex
| tremely pretty girls and Kitty fol
| lowed the fashion of the moment
faithfully. She wasn't bold in her ap.
pearanos, this gay little product of
common sense. but she had left moth.
! ing undone that might enhance her
| natural pulchritude.
! And. in that instant Of mental
stock-taking. a sudden discovery was
made by the conservative, almost
dowdy Jane. She had, subtly infiuenc
ed by the critical comments of Fred
Jones, held herself above the girls who
dressed to please men, to attract them
A hard little laugh escaped her al
this point. What had she, Jane Mea
doWs, done except to dress to please
Fred? Certainly she had not pleased
herself. She had looked with longing
eyes into show windows where sheer
dainty hose were alluringly placed be
side high-haeled slippers with glitter
/ ing buckles. She had hated to see her
full-length reflection in store mirrors
her skirts were just a little wrong, not
