MARKING PLAYING CARDS

Dear Mrs. Post: Our name is
Brown. Recently we bought some
playing cards that we had marked
The Browns" My neighbor thinks
these should have been marked
with a possessive IS" THE
Brown s." I don't see why and
thought perhaps you would know
some reason for her saying this.
Answer: Neither way is really
right, since both suggest that the
Browns" are running hotel. If
they are not hotel cards. they
should be marked either with your
Initials, or with your husbands
initials, or else with a monogram
combining the initials of both.

THE RIGHT FOUNDATION

A really satisfactory foundation
garment is rarely purchased hur-
riedly. Only slight adjustments
may be necessary to make 1t fit
perfectly, but it is always safer
to have an experienced corsetier
make them. Chances are, If you
have figure faults, the right foun-
dation will either correct them en-
tirely or soften them to such an
extent that they are barely notice
able. There is right and a
wrong way TO put on a foundation
garment. Have your corsetier in
struct you about that, too. In
correctly donned, even good
foundation may wrinkle and strain.

Merchant Marine
Building Proceeds
Despite Threats
Recent Awards Ruise
To $500, 600, 900 TotoI
Of Ships Committed

By the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission Is
speeding up reconstruction Of the
United States merchant marine de-
spite the fact Congress Is consider
ing a proposal that would sweep the
fleet of the seas SO far as trade
with warning nations Is concerned.
Recent lettings have brought to
approximately $500 100000 the
amount of shipbuilding which the
commission has placed under con-
tract in less than two years after
the start of its 10-year, 81, ,250, ,0OO, 900
program.
The principal arguments advanced
for going ahead rapidly with this
construction, even though Congress
may enact new neutrality law con-
tanning a prohibition against Amer
ican ships carrying goods or pas
sengers to belligerents, or entering
combat zones, are these:
l. In event Of this country becom-
ing engaged in war, fast merchant
vessels would be needed for con-
version into aircraft carriers, for use
as auxiliary naval cruisers, possibly
for troop transports, and to carry
supplies.
2. Eighty-eight per cent of the 1926
American ships of 1000 gross tons
and over which are now available
for the foreign trade (not counting
tankers, which are not generally
engaged in trans-oceanic service)
will be 20 years old or older by
1912. Twenty years is regarded by
the commission as the nominal life
Of merchant vessel. Even If some
of the ships are laid up as the re-
suit of abandonment OF American
flag services to British, French and
German territory. the majority of
those remaining in operation would
need replacement.
3. Some of the vessels withdrawn
from routes to the belligerent coun-
tries might replace foreign flag serv-
ices shifted from other parts of the
world to handle cargoes from the
United States to England, France
and other nations in Europe. Addi-
tional American ships would be
placed in service to South America
and on some lines in the Pacific,
although voyages to Australia, New
Zealand and other British and
French ports would be prohibited.
Increased demand for this country's
ships would result from any sub
stantial increase in trade with South
America. which some members of
Congress say might be promoted by
long time credits.
4. If the United States avoids in
volvement in the war, a modernized
merchant fleet would place her in a
favorable economic position. Her
ships would be in demand, due to
depletion Of the merchant fleets of
the belligerent countries, and her
foreign trade would be promoted by
the fast shipping service she could
offer.
