ships to Great Britain and her Allies.
More than 200 American ships with
a gross tonnage of more than 750,-
600 have gone to them. These ships
have been of priceless value to the
British in her efforts to keep sea
lanes open. Loss of 100000 tons Of
shipping through hostile sinkings
has occurred, it is said.
The additional number which may
be transferred is matter for the
President to determine under the
terms of the so-called lease-lend
bill
The 5000 or more miles of water
which separates us from the CONT
nents of Europe and Asia have been
and will remain invaluable in help
ing to protect us from aggression.
However, every one knows that GER
tain modern methods of warfare, as
exemplified by the airplane and the
submarine, have leSsened materially
the security which these oceans af-
ford US. We have recently acquired
naval and aviation bases, in some
cases hundreds of miles from the
boundaries of the United States.
Modern methods of defense require
such stations. To safeguard our own
shores we must go many miles be-
yond them to secure and use naval
and aviation bases. Do not forget,
however, that these naval and avia-
ton bases would be of little use to us
if the oceans of the world were DOM
mated by a combination of naval
powers hostile to us. 1t is needless
to add also that the Monroe Doc
trine. in its friendly developments of
cooperation among the republics of
North and South America, would be
outmoded.
Mass Production Ugly Duckling."
The vessels now in the American
merchant marine are being used
steadily. Likewise, there are reSer-
voirS of ships such as those in use
in coaStWise and intercoastal trade
which could be tapped in case of
need.
The 212 ships announced by the
President are in addition to the 200
emergency ships already under con-
struction, the 60 ships now build
ing in American yards for the Brit
ish and the 124 vessels of the Mari
time Commissions regular long
range program.
Our Government has undertaken
the building of 300 simple, slow but
efficient freighters. They have been
called ugly ducklings" The name
is certainly not hattering, but these
ducklings will doubtless do their
job well. These ships will cost con-

sity for the use of materials which
were practically unknown to warfare
years ago. So the Interpretation as
to what is ContrabanQ of war has
hroadened so much that it includes
now almost all kinds OF fuels, metals,
crops, manufactured or mechanlzed
proQuctS and other commodities of
countless varieties.
Even before Mahan wrote his i'm
mortal book on the subject, 1t was
realized that sea power is control
ling factor in the life of nation. 1t
Is almost indispensable to the exist
ence of a nation which is not an
inland one, and all inland nations
suffer for lack of its own channels
for water transportation. The in
ability of Germany and her allies
to use the seas freely during the
World War was a grave and
never-ending menace to them. To-
day, Germany. although having con-
Quered much of continental Europe,
is seriously restricted because of her

many is encountering trouble in ef-
forts to secure certain metals or
other commodities which she could
easily get if the oceans were open to
her. She suffers from a lack Of
prevailing sea power.
Nature Of Sea Power.
Sea power has a dual nature; 1t
consists of war vessels which seize
and hold the power; and merchant
vessels which use the power. Yet
the sea power of the battleship and
airplane would be useless if not
accompanied by the sea power of
the merchant fleet. The effective
ness of British resistance in this
war has lain largely in its ability
to use successfully the seas as a
source of strength

agricultural, industrial and general
economic life caused by war condi-

We have the will and the purpose
to try to reckon with the harrow
ing conditions existing in the world
by taking such steps as seem neces-
sary for our welfare. Our efforts
will be grossly inadequate if we do
not have suitable and adequate IA
cilities for transportation and de-
fense upon the water. Our ship of
state" cannot sail on" unless we
have, in addition to many other
things, necessary vessels and other
craft of wood and steel.

Only couple of months ago the young
queen found herself on page one again when
again her name went into court records
this time not quite unpleasantly. An appeal
had been made for an increase in her yearly
allowance. Gloria who inherited close to
100000 from her late father, Reginald
Vanderbilt, and whose net income for 1910
was $137356, granted an annual allow
ance of $685. $50 for the next three years to

Moreover, Brenda is approaching the age

One authority has nominated as candidate
for the Glamour Girl tiara, tall lovely Eugenia
Falkenberg better known as Jinx Falkenberg,
the 22-year-old athletic beauty who came to
New York from California to become a model
and show girl Jinx has had her fair share
of publicity ever since-even crashing the
society columns when she went to the snooty
Tuxedo Park ball with two young social bloods
and was the sensation of the evening.
Jinx is just good-looking. wholesome

Don't think for minute the young society
dolls have an easy time with their sovereignty.
Here Is what a present-day glamour girl must
be prepared to face - like good sport:
She must look her most glamorous on all
occasions especially for the cameramen. She
can't have her couture awry or her slip show
ing or her nose shiny her eyes bloodshot.
She mustn't speak out of turn when there
is any chance that her undiplomatic frankness
will reach the ears of a columnist.
She must attend every glittering social
function and never be seen in the same gown
or wearing the same hat twice. She must be
startling and original in her attire and yet
not step beyond the limits of good taste.
She must pose willingly and graciously for
news cameramen, be cordial to society and
Broadway columnists, bestow her sweet smiles
on headwaiters, captains. walters, bus-boys
doormen. powder-room matrons, cab starters
etc.-or run the risk of being labelled pill
and high hat. Let any such impression spread
and her reign as Glamour Girl will come
to an abrupt and tragic end
The Glamour Girls of other years not being
of society of wealth or of family position
could do and did do pretty much as they
pleased and let the conventions go hang for
all they cared. AS long as their charms
manned in the ascendant, there was no threat
to their sovereignty.
don't know how many miles of newsprint

but it is true that lovely pale-faced black
haired Brenda Frazier has been able to match
her press clippings. word for word picture for

Evelyn Nesbit, Anna Held or Leslie Carter
1t remains to be seen whether Gloria
Vanderbilt will be willing to match her
record. Although, she will come to the throne

court action, the lovely sub-deb is not partial

A FTER lengthy colorful reign Glamour
~ Queen Brenda Diana Duff Frazier at
V long last is preparing to relinquish her
throne Heiress- apparent is 17-year-old raven
tressed Gloria Vanderbilt who has almost as
many millions, quite many beaux and a
consoling patrician background.
No one actually selects Americas No.
Glamour Girl. She just happens. The coll
umnists, the cameramen. the society scrtb-
blers, and the night club historians by their
persistent pounding Of the publicity drums,
create her.
In the last few years of this streamlined
era qualifications of the eligible candidate
have included possession of a rating in the
Social Register. family fortune, dark hair,
brown eyes. chalky white skin and faculty
for being present at the right time in the
right places.
Unless a dark-horse suddenly pops over
the horizon. beautiful Gloria Vanderbilt,
daughter of fascinating mother. niece of
determined. aristocratic aunt. platinum girl
of one of Americas most notable families,
is the handsome honey who will shortly wear
the coveted crown.
Why Society-and mean the class with
the capital "S"-should have pre-empted the
glory is something for others to explain Ger
tainy in other years, neither wealth nor fam
lily position, neither the color of hair nor of
eyes, determined the winner
OF course. they had other names for them
in other years.
Toast of the Town was one way of putting
It then.
Any poll of past glamour queens would
have to include gorgeous. bosomy, golden
haired Lillian Russell who came out of Iowa
with neither silver in her purse, pearls around
her neck. or name in the Blue Book With
out a family background or even great talent,
the corn fed beauty brought susceptible
metropolis to its knees, counted her wooers
by the dozens and her press-clippings by the
thousands.
AS a matter of fact, our glamour girls
of other years had their lovely heads fitted
to the crown, because of sheer beauty-per-
sonality-and the fact that they were of the
stage.
Vivacious Evelyn Nesbit, queenly Maxine
Elliott, impulsive Peggy Joyce, volatile Anna
Marlowe, alluring Geraldine Farrar, impetu-
Gus Ethel Barrymore. The list grows and
grows. The society babies didn't have a
look-in-not in those days, chiefly because
there seems to have been no over-abundance
of pulchritude among the heiresses
There are exceptions, of course Blanche
Oelrichs, better known as Michael Strange,
had her year when artists and the press &C
claimed her as the No. beauty of America.
Similarly. for a brief spell, more than two
years ago, there was campaign to nominate
her daughter, brown-eyed Diana Barrymore,
as the seasons glamour girl but nothing came
of that chiefly because Diana, with her deci-
Gus sense of humor. thought the idea was
too funny for words and was among the
first to welcome with enthusiasm the crown
