OPPORTUNITY IN COMMERCE

4 report by the Foreign Policy Association
4 on world shipping indicates that the
American merchant marine is in line for
heavy increases in tonnage as a result OF
the European war, particularly if we re
main neutral.
The report cites transfer Of 80 American
vessels to foreign registry as one proof OF
it's forecast, and the fact that American
shippers have been able to expand their
operations as foreign competitors withdrew
their ships as another. Losses suffered by
act, were at least partly offset by gains in
other directions" said the report.
Further encouragement for a belief that
American shipping may be on the eve of a
new era is found in complaint Of the Coal
Exporters Association that it cannot get all
the ships it needs and that this lack is
seriously hampering the export trade"
1t wants the government to recondition at
least 100 cargo vessels now out of service
which could either be sold to foreign ship
pers or used by the government for shipping
into non-conbat areas, with assured bene
fits to the marine service and American
shippers. In proof of its position, the asso
citation shows February's exports, 81 ,S43 tons
were approximately double those of January,
and exports to all countries in February
were SIP, 800 tons.
Here is evidence that the supremacy of
the clipper days, when American ships held
the balance Of power in ocean-borne trade,
may be brought back and the United States
again become mistress of tho seas in COM
merce. 1t is more than g dream.
And if it is done, Wilmington will be in
a. most advantageous position for large bene-
fits, if it's port is improved to accommodate
the ships which inevitably will seek en-.
trance.
AS a first step, it is compellingly neces-
sary that Senator BAILEY force a rivers and
bill through this session of congress
with Wilmington's and North Cardinals prof.
among those for which appropriations
are provided.
With the senate adding S2O3, OO0, 900 to the
farm bill without so much as a voice vote,
It ought not to be difficult to get an appro-
for rivers and harbors large enough
to meet immediate needs, particularly if

New Road Construction
Is Favored By Horton

MANTBO, April l. Up Lieut.
Gov. w. P. Horton of Pittsboro,
candidate for governor, said here to-
night he favored construction OF
roads to link county seats, with
particular reference to counties
which are sparsely populated an6
which therefore do not receive ade.
quate funds for this purpose"
Speaking at the Dare county
courthouse, Horton said he believed
the next general assembly should
make special provision for such
roads.
"The ALLEGATION of highway funds
under the 1921 act" said the candi.
date, sis based upon area, popula.
ton and mileage. 1t is my belief that
some Of the counties in the Able.
marie section, as we'll as the extreme
western section Of the state and
perhaps in other areas, are 'penalized
because the funds going to these
counties are inadequate to connect
county seats with county seats, as
the 1921 act intended them to con-
meet"

SCHOOL BUS CROWDING

The New Hanover County Council OF
Parents and Teachers proposes to lay the
findings of it's investigation of a complaint
that school buses are overcrowded before
the county commission.
1t is understood the complaint is based
on observations in the more thickly popu-
lated rural areas of the county. The action
of the parent-teacher councils is evidence
that the group has a proper concern for the
safety of pupils and is motivated by an
understandable wish to have any fault cor
rected.
II the buses are in fact o~vercrowded and
the extra load imperils the safety of pupils,
the school board, which has proved itself
up to its task even to the employment of
competent adult drivers at pay far exceeding
tho states figure, may be relied on to find
a cure and demand its application. Indeed,
the board endeavored to prevent crowding
by applying for greater Accommodations, but
was cut down by the state, with one bus
eliminated.
But it can do no harm for the situation to
be brought to the attention of the county
commission, and may do much good. AT
least it will draw attention to the need for
more buses-a condition that will stand bet.
ter chance of correction if brought into the
open than if allowed to continue without
complaint.

FIGHTING FOR A STANDARD

The furore over appointment of BERTRAND
RUSSELL to the faculty of the College of the
City of New York, and his subsequent re.
lection, shows that sentiment for moral clean.
illness in our teaching stats is still strong,
despite the present tendency for individual
independence of thought and action.
American parents cling to the doctrine that
decency is still worth while, and want their
children schooled in an environment which
encourages it.
Sir BERTRAND RUSSELL is an eminent phi
losopher and teacher. There is no quarrel
with his ability. But his personal life has not
always been on the high moral plane we
have accepted as the standard for good citi.
zenship; and because of his W violations of
the code we believe in we consider him an
unsafe guide for youth.
inns position, so strongly held by the
forces opposing his appointment in New
New York, is easily understood, We do not
let our children play with known perverts,
Why should we surrender them to the in.
fluence of a teacher, however well qualified
IN other matters, whose personal life is a
refutation of our standards?
Inc outcome of the RUSSELL episode will
solace all Americans who regret the liberali.
zatlon of morals in the practice of which
we nave attained our national strength.

MARKETING THE PROBLEM

New Hanover county's lettuce crop an.
pears, at least from the highways, to have
suffered very little if any damage from the late
unlamented cold snap. The lay observer feels
a definite thrill as he wheels along smooth
pavements and notes the mile upon mile OF
light green sprouts already beginning to
spread out and fatten, and if he believes the
farmers have a chance to recoup somewhat
after previous poor marketing years, he is
to be forgiven for his optimism.
Without a setback, the growers have rea
son to anticipate a full yield from their
fields. All that can interfere with reasonable
profits, all else being equal, is an unfavorable
or poorly regulated market. This can be
overcome in large measure by careful plan,

Two people may not be able to
live as cheaply as one but the re-
cords for many years show that
they arrapently live more sanely
than one.
Reports from nearly 600 hospi.
tails for mental patients through
out the U. S. show that unmarried
men and women are most likely to
develop a mental disorder. This is
nothing new, but has been happen
ingl steadily year after year.
Being married may thus appear
to be a good way to- ward off a
mental breakdown. Specialists at
tribute this partly to the good men
tai hygiene of having someone with
whom to talk over troubles, partly
to family life being normal
for human beings than life in a
rooming house and partly to the
benefits of the feeling that some
one cares for US.
We must also recognize that a
proportion of unmarried people are
still single because they have some
budding p%eculiarities which not only
make it more difficult for them to
get married but also may be early
signs of a coming mental break
down.

. RIGHT OR WRONG ABOUT PEOPLE
Why Don't More Married
Men Go Crazy!

Divorced people, for instance,
have a high incidence of mental dis
order; and in many divorce cases,
it is obvious to the expert that the
divorce itself is a symptom of
mental instability. In those cases,
the divorce does not cause the
mental trouble, but is a consequence
Of it.
There is one class Of persons,
however, for whom marriage is US
ually hazardous to mental health.
In this group fall those women who
enjoy women's company more than
mems and marry largely to be con-
ventional or to get a home, a n d
those men who find mems compan.
ionship more interesting than wom-
ems,
Marriage in such instances-per-
haps one person out of 40 or 50-is
dangerous, according to the. psy-
chiatrists. 1t may precipitate an
acute mental panic for which t h e
best cure is to give up marriage
and live alone and Ike it.
Many people have married f o r
worse reasons than to help keep
them sane. The trick is to be sane
enough at the outset to get married.
