War Shipping Rates
Lure WindjdmmerS
Back Into Sea Lanes
Old Gambling Vessels
Refitted for Lumber
Trade With Africu
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 15.-When
lumber cargo rates jump from 412
to $50 a thousand board feet, any
hull that can keep the sea out will
sail if she can get a crew And she
usually can, with war-zone pay in
the neighborhood Of $275 a month
for each man.
So it is that the four master
Marie, formerly the gambling ship
Tango, formerly the Mary Dollar,
will be in the Columbia River soon
under press Of sail to take couple
of million board feet or so for South
Africa.
She is one of four West Coast
windjammers to hoist anchor from
semi-retirement and spread canvas
for one more fling in cargo lanes.
Forced into Idleness.
Engine-driven ships forced her
out of trade years ago. She became
a gambling barge of Southern
California, but law enforcement
eventually relegated her to idleness.
The Marie, now being converted
at San Diego, is the second gambling
ship to go respectable under the
lure of war cargo rates.
The old Rex, which did a fat
gambling business off San Pedro
before the war, is being re-rigged
as a schooner. She has been re-
named the Star of Scotland and will
be carrying cargo to South Africa,
too, loading soon at Grays Harbor,
Wash.
The four-master Commodore Is
being re-rigged at Winslow. Wash,
also for the African trade. She
will load out at Port Angeles, Wash.
The fourth West Coast sailing ship
back in cargo hauling is the Star Of
Finland, renamed the Kaiulani, al
ready en- route from Grays Harbor
to South Africa under Panamanian
registry. She is the first of the four
actually at sea.
Lumber Rates Soar.
South African trade began paying
lofty rates when the war started and
West Coast vessels flocked to It..
From a range of $12-$18 a thousand
board feet on lumber, the rate moved
to $50 and lately has touched $50
from the Pacific Northwest to Cape
Town.
A windjammer sailors pay, once
a pittance, starts at $375 a month
now. The Sailors Union OF the Pa
cif1c says this is because Of the hard
ships before the mast compared to
steam operations, because Of the
ships greater vulnerability in war
zones, because Of 12-hour shifts each
day, weeks on end without fresh
food, long 1ayovers at port. OBJ
viously a windjammer is cold meat
for sub or surface raider.
But old salts say it used to be an
in the days work at sea and allow.
nostalgically, that the return Of
white canvas to the trades will breed
a tougher stripe in seamen.

BudapestFour
Is Heard at
Music Exhibit
Whittall Foundation
Manuscripts Are
Put on Display
BY ELENA de SAYN.

The formal opening of a classical
manuscript exhibit by the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation at the
Library OF Congress took place last
night simultaneously with a recital
by the Budapest String Quartet,
rendered to the Friends of Music.
The program for the occasion con-
sisted of Beethovens Quartet in
B Flat Major Op. l30,' Of which the
foundation owns the original of the
Presto" movement, and Mozart's
Quintet in c Major XIV Sis" for
strings, the manuscript of which
forms also a pat of this collection.
Large and small showcases IN the
Whittau Pavilion were the object of
interested inspection before the
beginning Of the concert and during
the intermisSion Sheets of music in
Beethovens handwriting, and about
a dozen and a half of his letters
were on view. together with three
complete works by Mozart. Others
by Brahms, Schubert, Michael
Haydn, Meyerbeer, Clara Schumann,
Wagner and Weber completed the
display.
Opening with Beethoven'S quar-
tet. the Budapest group presented
1t in its entirety, with its two final
movements-the first being Beet
hoven's Swan" song, the last thing
he wrote upon instigation of his
publisher: the second, the famous
fugue, originally forming the con-
cluding part of this work. Nothing
could be more dissimilar than these
two endings, the first hardly in
keeping with the general trend of
the composition, the second prohib-
tive because of the tremendous
technical difficulties encountered by
the players. AS the fugue excited
Beethoven's contemporaries, posi-
bly, because of its fury or because of
the vehemence with which the per-
formers bore down upon the ears
of the auditors. last nights per-
formance was exciting too, likely, for
the same reason. Another century
may pass before the art Of reproduc-
tion will have reached its zenith and
players may acquire some of Beeth-
ovens serenity and grandeur en-
abling them to bring out the musical
and aesthetic contents of this par
ticular composition.
Mozart's quintet for two violins,
two violas and cello, with Milton
Katims, viola, assisting, seemed to
fit exceptionally we'll into the scope
of the small auditorium. The
famed Stradivari instruments. re-
lieved of the extra pressure placed
upon them, responded gracefully to
the summons of the players. The
audience was enthusiastic in its
appreciation. The identical pro-
gram will be repeated this after
noon.

MAKE STUDIES ON 400
HEREFORD COWS

Studies of the records of more
than 400 Hereford COWS at the
Montana Agricultural Expert
ment stations North Montana
branch station near Havre throw
some interesting light on the
question of the effect of age
and weight upon gains made by
beef cows, says Fred Wilson,
branch station superintendent.
These studies show that all
though no definite relationship
existed between the ages of cows
and winter gains, excepting in
the case of 3-year-olds, the sum-
mer losses in weights were in
direct proportion to the ages of
the animals.
1t was also found that, with
but slight variation, there was
greater summer loss in weight
as the COWS advanced in age.
When COWS passed the age of
seven years the summer losses
exceeded the gains of the pre-

previous winter unless unusual
ly high winter gains had been
made.
Furthermore, the weights of
calves at birth steadily increa-
sed with very little variation
with additional year of age of
the cows until the cows were
eight years old and then drop
ped rapidly SO that the 10-year
old cows produced calves weig-
hing the same at birth as those
from the Swear olds.
The weaving weights of the
calves advanced with the ages
of the COWS until the cows were
6 years old. The 7 and 8-year
old COWS were still above the 5
year oldS. But 10-year-old cows
weaned calves about the same
weight as the 4-year -olds.
From these studies, it seems
that the prime of life" for a
beef COW, under plains condit-
ions, is somewhere between the
ages of six and eight years, Will
lson concludes.
