in his twced-clad arms. Nor from

ancient, battered taxi with an all
of Opulence never seen before at
the Newtown station.
But, once in the taxi, they
found nothing to say to each

she had intended. Later she
would have time to think more
clearly. But now perhaps it was
just as well. What else had she?
No love, no family and no clean
goal in the future.
She stole Il sidelong look at
Pete, and liked what she saw. She
liked his long legs, the easy car
riage Of his broad shoulders, the
lean look in his thin face. She
liked the way he knit his brow
when nc was thinking, and now
she liked the way his whole face
seemed picked out by Il light A

She was unaccOuntably glad that
she had made him happy. She
knew what it was to be let down
She would never let Pete down.
She was Il little afraid to have

stand it.
During that pause he looked al
her stelnly. "YOu have dirty

A Chance To Make Good Ship
Subsidy Appointments The Pro
mOter- Villains Enter

WASHINGTON.-Presid Roosevelt has
fine chance to start making good his
ceptance speech when he appoints the five mem
bers OF the new Maritime Authority, which will
plan, build up, regulate, and subsidize the
American merchant marine.
But it will be practically a miracle if this
commission is kept cut of the hands of the
shipping promoters who have been draining
huge profits from federal subsidies ever since the
and have LEFT the taxpayers with pitiful-
y inadequate merchant fleet.
The new ship subsidy act latest of many
efforts to expand the merchant marine, was
victory for those who sought safeguards against
the predatory promoters who have dominated
Secretary of Commerce Ropers shipping board
bureau and continued the scandals of previous
administrations.
The victory will be empty unless an au-
thority is appointed which will make those safe
guards operative The subsidy lobby seeks to
pack the commission and its staff with many
friends, plants" stooges, and pipelines as it
can get in.
Operators are said to be making a strong
drive for appointment of White House Secre-
tary Marvin Mcintyre as one of the five COM
missioners. Big-hearted Mac" has always been
their pal.
Some who know Roosevelt's mind believe
that Mcintyre has been a sufficient embarrass-
ment in his present job to cause the president
to consider him seriously for one of the mer-
chant marine posts.
If Shipping Board Director j. c. Peacock
ana Assistant secretary OF Commerce j. M.
Johnson were also appointed the set-up would
be perfect for the promoters. Johnson once
boasted of his merchant marine knowledge to
Senate committee by saying Il can handle
small boat as well as any man in this room"
Senator and representatives responsible for
the safeguarding features of the act are back
ing such men as Thomas NJ. Woodward, con-
sumers' counsel for the coal commission and
formerly with the shipping board; Solicitor Karl
Crowley of the Postoffice Department; Con-
gresham Edward c. Moran Of Maine, promi-
nent in the subsidy battle in Congress; Otto
Praeger of the shipping board; and o. P. M.
Brown, formerly of the Emergency Fleet Corp
Grafton.
All these men have demonstrated a lack of
subservence to shipping interests
The Authority will handle hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in loans and direct subsidies,
after outlining a policy to just what's need
ed for a merchant marine
The biggest innovation in the new act is
its attempt to guarantee building Of new ships
through authorization for the commission
to construct and charter vessels, with wide dis
cretion, if it finds that necessary.
Operating subsidies will be granted to cover
difference between foreign and American costs
Construction costs are to be subsidized similarly,
the Authority paying full cost to the shipbuild-
er, charging the foreign differential to the
Treasury and selling the ship to the operator for
at least 25 per cent OF the cost in cash and the
remaining rs per cent in 20 year notes.

THE BONUS CAME
AND MOST OF 1T WENT

I Great was anticipation, and not so
a great was realization, at least in the
cease of the soldiers bonus. Battled over
a period of many years, it was heralded
as the greatest possible boon to eX-veter-
. ans and real asset to business improve
ment generally throughout the land
(, A few weeks ago it arrived, cash and
bonds in hand. Much was spent. Much
was left in bonds and put away for fu-
ture reference Doubtless hundreds of
millions of dollars was spent to buy
clothing and necessities. Other hun
dreds of millions went to pay old obliga-
tions. Still others were used to buy
motor cars and homes Others were in
vested.
But the cycle of business improve
ment did not take a sudden, gigantic
swing upward. Instead, the ascending
charts of business showed hardly fur
ry, which surprises many.
We believe the payment of the bonus
reveals in a concrete example, that even
such startling sum as two billion dC /
lars is only drop in the ocean of daily
monetary exchange, and the much ldrg-
er oceans of credit.
American business and commercial
activity is far too large and too extensive
and too busy to be other than moment
arily effected by the sudden addition
of increased spending power. That the
money can slide into the NAV of indus
try and hardly alter the whirr of the
machinery indicates that the fundament-
tails behind our commercial existence are
much too profound to be permanently
altered by such gigantic stimulation as
two billion dollars.
There is no question but that the Bo-
nus was a God-send to many veterans.
There is no question but that in many
instances it served fine purposes and
has had some beneficial effect. There
is also no question but that it failed to
stimulate improvement as much as was
expected.

A VERY SANE JULY FOURTH
ONLY FOUR HUNDRED KILLED

1t was somewhat irOnlcal that ma
tional news agencies reported that the
July 4th celebration was unusually sane,
"only 4O8 persons" having been reported
as killed.
On the surface, this sounds harsh and
cold-blooded. Compared to the tower
ing figures of past years, however, and
the usual number of fatalities every
weekend and holiday from motor car
accidents, drowning and the like, the
press services were correct in preflXlng
their figures with the word 'only".
Imperial Valley has reason to rejoice
over its record 1t is relief to know
that there was not a single valleylte IN
iured from fireworks, and that only one
understanding and a couple of traffic ac-
cidents occurred to mar the day. These
latter could have happened anywhere
and ANYTIME. so our holiday aftermath
could be considered as 100 per cent per-
feet.
The national picture, good as it is,
strikes cold chills down sour splnes as
we read "Only 208 were killed IN
traffic accidents" . Such statement is
justified by the daily toll of lives taken
by motor cars, and especially after due
consideration of the heavy tra1flc on
highways and byways The average
daily deaths from IIdl1iC l'0O 5O"i " "
125. which includes weekdays as we'll as
weekends and holidays.
That III should have died by drown
ing is a shocking surprise. 1t would ap-
near that we should turn our attention
to teaching young America how to SWIM,
and older America how to make beacheS
safe. The Red Cross would do we'll TO
extend its life saving instruction, and
every parent. public agency and news
naper should support such instruction.

REMIND OTHERS
TO REGISTER!

To vote in the August 25th primary
elections, citizens must register not later
than Thursday July 10th. and must
state party affiliation. That is only
eight business days away, not very
long time considering the human ten
dency to procraStinate.
If you haven't registered since Janu-
airy l this year, you cannot express your
opinion in the congressional and state
assembly primaries, or in the selection
of county supervisors. All registration
prior to the first of this year was wiped
off the books by order of the State Su-
preme court. so new registration is es-
sential.
1t would be we'll for every voter to
remind his or her friends, and every
politician regardless of party, to start
a drive to see that everyone is registered.
There are only eight registration days

New York Day by Day
By Q. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, July Young Al
fred Vanderbilt, just a shade past
his majority, has taken a place
among Americas foremost sports
men. Trainers say his knowledge of
horse flesh is as keen and accurate
as that of a veteran His democracy
is symbolized in the greeting of his
stablemen.
They call him Al. And they listen
to what he says. Vanderbilt now
has 80 horses and has won to date
SO races. At the last count he stood
third on the list of successful own
ers for 1886 and there are many
betting he will lead the list at the
end Of the year.
While the youthful horseman
makes an occasional appearance in
the jazz mosques with parties of
friends, the gayer side of life is not
his bent. He frequently attends
prize fights with his mother, the
beautiful Margaret Emerson, and is
well liked b. foremost pugilistS, be
ing an especial buddy of Tunney.
Economically, he is likely the most
auspicious of the marriage catches
for angling and ambitious mamaS.
But thus far he seems to play the
field-Squiring this debutante about
for a while and then showing up as
suddenly and enthusiastically with
another.
