best balanced distribution may be
obtained.
The theory has been advanced
that the spread was all that count
ed; that IS, that there was little
difference to the feeder whether
he purchased &c feeders and sofa
them us fat cattle at lOc or purchas-
ed Zoe feeders and sold them at 13c,
so long as there was Il sufficient
spread to take care of his feeding
operation plus a reasonable profit.
However, there are a great many
angles to this, as naturally the risk
is greater i'll handling higher pric-
ed commodity, involving more mon,
cy than it would with lower price
levels and of course the likelihood
OF break when price levels are
low IS not as great as when they
are high. When the feeder is do
ing business ON the lower price lev
ct the possibility of rising levels is
always present, while when prices
have reached their practical peak,
the feeder is always standing the
chance of the levels receding.
There is no question that there is
as great an opportunity for profits
ON the higher price levels if opera
tons are carefully handled and pro-
| ceed along reasonably conservative
lines but during periods such as
this the same caution might be
pointed out as was given to many
industries some time ago during a
similar period, that being that Scat
tie producers should observe the

universally recognized color of eau

reasonable to suppose that
the same principle of speedy

cessfully applied to ocean travel,
and that faster ocean transporta-
ton will pay its own way.
Last Word In Equipment
The design Of the ships will be
unusual for transatlantic passenger
carriers. The liners will be model
ed somewhat along the lines of
the new Navy airplane- carrier
Saratoga, with the smokestacks
and superstructure placed on one
side in order to give full freedom
of the landing deck to arriving and
departing planes. Another innova-
ton will be the carrying Of Ameri-
can customs officers in order to
expedite the examination of bag
gage.
The design Of the ships has been
studied exhaustively by some of the
best known American consulting
naval architects and marine en-
gineers to assure the highest pos
sible degree Of passenger comfort
and safety.
Accommodation will be provid-
ed for but one class of passengers.
Each stateroom will be ample in
size, will have its own bath pro-
vided with fresh running water
an innovation in transatlantic pas
senger service-and will be luXur-
ious enough in its appointments to
satisfy the most discriminating
traveller. Dining and lounge rooms
will be located in the center of the
ship. Aft there will be large
glass protected promenade deck,
and forward a smoking room with
clear view in the direction of the
ships progress. Considerable at
tention VIII be given to an open
sports deck.

The contemplated speed-31 to
"a knots at sea. depending on sea-
son and normal weather, and with
less speed in heavy weather-is a
reasonable development and strict
ly in line with pre-war progress
simply bridging the war setback.
Roughly. the rate of North Atlantic
liner speed progress is as follows:
is knots in 1875. 20 knots in 1890
and IS knots in 1907. These fig
ures are approximate only. but
they are substantially correct.

promise of future transatlantic

builders who plan to restore the
American merchant marine to its
former position in world trade.
Announcement OF the plan to

real effort to return the American
flag to the position on the high
seas which 1t held during the mid
die of the 18th century.
In the period from 1910 to 1870
the fastest and most reliable ocean
transportation was furnished by
American clipper ships.
During the height of the clipper
ship period the merchant marine
of the United States led that of
all other maritime countries. Yes
sells flying the stars and stripes
were found In every important
port: they carried more than half
tho worlds ocean-borne tonnage
and at least so per cent Of our own
foreign trade.
The Civil War and the subse-
quent need for internal develop
ment in this country turned our
national attention away from the
sea. Our merchant marine drop
pod from first place and we have
never recovered our position.
Figures Just supplied by the
United States Shipping Board show
that of Americas total foreign
trade in 1926 more than two-thirds
was carried In foreign ships. or
5,7G1 vessels, aggregating 26.33O,-
600 gross tons. required TO move the
trade. only 1.67S were under the
American flag. American shippers
paid about $600,000.O00 for ship
ping carriage, the report stated. of
which amount foreign ship owners
received about $4S0.00O.0O0.
During the World War we built
ships to meet an emergency. any
bottom capable OF carrying men or
supplies that could be built and put
to sea in the shortest possible time.
but these were not ships designed
TO compete subsequently with ves-
sells built since the war by other
nations.

Speed Important Factor
All changes in the history Of
transportation have been based on
improvement in speed, where COM
fort and reliability could be main
tained. The United States as a
nation has been In the forefront in
recognizing this fact and in de-
manding its widespread application,
as evidenced by the great Ameri-
can railway mileage, the increase in

Speed for passengers. mail and

land transportation. and bulk

and low value are moved slowly by

Through tie Static

We'll. ladies and gentlemen. last night was an average evening. with fair volume, a little static and fading and smattering of code. Just an average distance and average pro- grams.
 Between and 6:25 o'clock we did land-office business in station col lecting. There seemed to be some thing doing everywhere. A total of l 20 stations from as far west as Chi- cago toddled against the antenna, | through the tubes and out of the loud speaker. That's quite a number for so early in the evening. it seems 1 to us. Maybe it isn't, but it seems | to us
 1 We picked up 8 new one, at least a new one in our precinct. It's title is WRHF and it is located at Wash ington. D. c. The station operates at frequency of $50 kilocycles, which is equivalent to SPA meters. by authority of the Federal Radio Com mission at Washington. It couldn't have been more than 6:15 o'clock when we picked up that station, but it was already preparing to sign of, with announcements of today's pro- grams. The station came through ex- tremely loud. breaking right through kDkA which, we thought, didn't al. low anyone to trespass within miles i of it's wave. The Washingtonian didn't mind. however.
 The characters in the Great Mo ments in History program from WEAF were exceptionally well taken. Last nights dramatization had to do with portions of the life of Alexander Hamilton. the first sec retary of the treasury of the United States, who met death on the Pali- sades, across the river from Yon- kers or Harlem or somewhere, at the hands of that alleged villain, Aaron Burr. who, as you all know. tried to found kingdom of his own down Louisiana way. Hamilton's i speech before the Continental Con- gress was we'll portrayed. He was a young boy at the time and the un- willingness of the members to listen to him was well shown. You cant go wrong by tuning in on those Great Moments programs. A dance program from WSAI, Cin- cinnati, was interrupted by the an- nouncer who spoke about the great program to be broadcast by that sta ton next Saturday evening. He stated that it will be the greatest ever heard in Cincinnati. with over 50 musicians and stars taking part. The station came through ill its usual good form last evening. WMAK. Buffalo. provided dance music away up on 545 meters. which. as you know. is in quite mess of code. The code was codetng, or coding, as you will, also. Every body Loves My Girp' stated the or chestra.
 WSB, CFCA. WMCA. WBBM, WLW, WHN, WTAM, WLS, WWJ, WJR and WRC were heard, among others so you can see that the eve- ming was just an average one, as we said before. There was plenty of en- i tertainment, however.

The other two selections rorming the Berlin group will be 'sWhen Lost You" and "The Song Is Ended" A quartet, a duet and an orchestra take part in the pro- gram.
