of being turned over to the Bri- tish to bc run as lease-!end ves- sels. The reason, Admiral Land said, was that the United States wanted to retain control over the ships. And once they got to Liverpool, if running under the British flag, the United States might not be able to say where they should sail next.
 This brought a mild protest from several members of Congress who remarked that 1t was strange we couldn't trust our lease-lend Allies.
 Admiral Land also discoursed on a. purported plan to arm U. S. merchant ships with "ash-cans" (depth bOInbs), which, exploding under the water, shake loose the plates of 6 submarine by under water percussion.
 Afterward, Congressman Charles Dewey of Illinois, who is an old Republican friend of Land, took the Admiral aside and said:
 Look here, Jerry, why do you want to take advantage of these poor midwest congressman who haven't been near tidewater? You know perfectly well that if one of your Ugly Ducklings' latest type merchant ship) dropped an ash can overheard her stern would be blown off,"
 NOTE - Destroyers are able to drop depth bombs because their high speed, around 30 knots, permits them to get away before the bomb explodes. Most mer- chant ships, however, travel too slowly to get away.
 Real facts about arming U. s. merchant ships have been confused in a welter of debate. But here is the situation as near as we can get it.
 There is no distrust of the Bri- tish regarding the future routing of our ships or Panamanian ships if placed under the British flag.
 The chief reason for sending U. $. ships into the war zone under the American flag is that the British are getting hard up for crews. Thousands of tons of British shipping have been sunk and with them, thousands of British seamen. Especially lacking today are engineers. Deck hands are not hard to get But many Iease-lend cargOes have been held up a few days in re- cent weeks waiting for British crews. Because of this scarcity, Panamanian ships have been manned by checkerbOard crews of various natiOnalities.
 Another reason for sending American ships into the war zone is efficiency of operation. It is a tough job to find the right ships these days to carry heavy tanks which cannot be easily hoist ed into the holds of small bessels A British or Panamanian ship large enough for this is not al- ways available.
 SIX GUNS PER SHIP
 However, the arIning of Ameri- can ships, any way you look at 1t is a mixed blessing. Many Of the guns to be mountcI were either built or designed in 1902 the type used on U. s. ships dur ing the World War. However they are good guns for submarine shooting, and in addition the ships will carry anti-aircraft guns and four heavy machine guns to pro-

If federal officials were worried about the fuel situation in New England this fall, their. worries must have been greatly lifted by the type of weather we have been enjoying. It is the first fall In quite a few years that there has been such a light consumption of all types of fuel. No doubt the later weather will make up for it and total consumption for the winter will probably be about average.

Cultivate Most Roses Here

People in the United States cul-
tivate more roses than any other
country in the world, but our once
famous American Beauty rose is
practically extinct today. according
to Francis W. Ruzicka, president of
the - NAL Rose Growers of Amer
lea us place has been taken by
the Better Times rose, introduced
six years ago. Today when you
buy a so-called American Beauty,
the chances are it is really Better
Times. Yellow roses are hardest to
produce. Bees and bugs, greatest
pollinating agents, always prefer
pink roses; so when roses go pink,
you know they have gone wild.
New Jersey grows enough roses
to strew the Transcontinental high
way, end to end, from Trenton to
Pasadena. White roses cost more
in June and September and are
almost unstable through the rest
of the year The Red Rose inn,
near West Grove, Pa, has paid its
rent with roses instead of money
for more than 200 years.

kNU'S'MARINES
MARINES GIVEN JOB
To KILL ALBATROSS

United States Marines may have
another score to settle with sea-
men within the next few days be-
cause they have received orders to
defy beliefs and traditions of the
sea and destroy the sacred bird of
sailors, the albatross.
The ca bird, it is reported, has
become nuisance to aviation in
the South Pacific and Leather
necks have been asked to remedy
the situation by keeping the fam
Gus bird off traffic lanes of the sky
in that area.
The job of killing the excessive
albatross population in and about
the Midway Islands has been turn
ed over to the Marines, considered
the best rifle shooters in the world
The albatross, long considered
sacred by sea-faring men, have
congregated in the civinity of Mid
way Islands to such an extent that
they constitute a menace to trans
Pcific clipper planes operating be-
tween the United States and the
Orient.
In Coleridge's famous poem,
'aThe Rhine of the Ancient Mar
iner," the hero suffered numerous
hardships as his penalty for the
crime of shooting an albatross, the
sailors bird of good omen.
Albotrosses, largest of sea birds,
frequently attain length of four
feet, weigh as much as 25 pounds,
and have been known to have wing
spreads of II feet. They are cap
able of performing etraordiary
soaring feats, feed upon floating
carrion and fish and are found in
every sea except the North At
lantic.
