BY MARY HELEN MCGOWAN

A beautiful, sleek haired,
black and white bird dog sat
patiently in the waiting room
of the Atlantic Coast Line sta
ton. He seemed completely OBJ
livious to the anxiety of his
soldier-master who was franti-
cally searcing the town for
muzZle in order to take him to
Richmond.
Butch" had Travelled with
his master from camp to camp
over the country. He had al
ways been by his side and had
been adopted as a mascot by
the boys in the outfit. Now,
his master was to be sent over
seas and he would have to go
back home to Richmond.
Officials of the ACL shook
their heads when the large dog
was led to the train. "A dog
must wear a muzzle and
leash, or be shipped in a box"
Butch preferred the muzzle,
but none could be found.
Finally, in desperation, his
master called on the Travellers
Aid Society and through it
managed to buy a strip Of
leather. Next, the ladies at the
society and the soldier tried to
make the muzzle while
Butch" continued to lounge
lazily at the side of his master,
Attempts to make the muzzle
proved futile so the Travellers
Aid Society began searching
for a box in which to ship the
dog. After many telephone
calls, a box was located in the
station. However, the box was
occupied-by another dog who
recently had arrived in Will
mington. A call was made to
the owner OF the dog and he
agreed to allow the soldier to
borrow the box provided he
would promise to return it and
also on the provision that the
deliver his dog to him.
Next employed was a taxi:
Butch" his master, and the
occupant of the box were rush.
ed to the owners home. The
box was borrowed and the
dogs exchanged places.
Butch" was placed on later
train and Travellers Aid re-

IV-Fzeet To Giue America
Postwar Supremacy of Sea
Nv S. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 23-The United
States will emecge from this war
with a merchant marine two and
2 half times as great as that with
vEch we went into the struggle
and transoceanic cargo fleet bigger
and better than Great Britain pos
sessed at the height of her mari
time supremacy
That merchant fleet will consist
entirely of modern, fast, efficient
economical frelghters. If Liberty
ships and the carry-over of pre-
wa, craft were included, the fig
ures would be much larger. But
Liberty ships are not of any use
in peacetirne marine competition,
and much of Our pre- war fleet
will be of doubtful value by the
time the war ends. So in coasid-
ering this nations postwar posi-
ton, they can be ignored.
The American Merchant Marine
Institute estimates that by the end
OF 1915 we shall have built 2451
good postwar type cargo ships
75OO-ton CTS, o0O0-ton CPS, TO-
COO-toa Victories. 12,0O0-ton C-3's,
and first-class tankers. The C-types
ard Victories are being provided
with the most modern equipment
throughout, with good loading
gear and efficient engines. They
cruise at from IA to Is or II knots,
Tonnage Increased
Taking for these an average Of
10000 tons this would make a.
100000 lightweight tons Of the
best cargo carriers in the world.
In 1910 we possessed only 10000
coo tons and Great Britain, ira
ditional monarch of the Seven
Seas, only 24000,000.
When peace returns we shall
not have exactly this 24,500,0O0
tons available. Presumably a lit
tie OF it has been sunk already,
and it is reasonable to assume that
more will be lost to Germany and
Japan. But the attrition against
this tonnage will not prove so big
as, at first glance, might appear.
Up to March 81 we had built
2,014 Liberty ships. and we went
into the war with 1179 older
craft. It was against these that
Nazi submarines were really ac-
tive, and it is from these that the
great bulk of our losses have come
To offset what may be lost out
Of the "a, 500, 900 tons of really good
ships, we can hope to draw on PIG
vessels Of "other types" some of
which are Army transports that
can readily be converted into ex-
cellent merchant craft. Also, while
cur pre-war marine was largely
c!u, it did include some vessels
that will be worth including in the
postwar fleet.
So it is a fair guess that we
shall enter the competition for
the postwar eanic carrying
trade with more tonnage Of bet
Ter ships than Great Britain ever
possessed at one time in her his
tory.
And how will the British
emerge Not SO well. Their pre-
war fleet has taken a merciless
pounding, and unlike ours, it has
not been replaced with two or
three ships for every one lost.
The British nave concentrated
largely on fighting craft. They
are building a few merchantmen
like our Victories, but only few
And while we have supplied
C-+ypes and Victories to the
Dutch and the Norwegians, to
Eeep their skilled seamen busy,
we have given the British mostly

In all consideration of war and
postwar shipping, it should be

ego the Liberty ship would have
been the cats pajamas. In fact,
the engine used in the Liberty is
said to have been on exhibition at
the 1893 Columbia Exposition in
Chicago.

which English - in contrast with some
other languages - gives to one syllable
in every polysyllabic word and to the
whole of every word which the speaker
wishes to emphasize. Probably no Eng
lish-speaking person. except a deaf
mute who has been taught to talk, uses
a perfectly level monotone.
But the trouble with most Americans
is that we raise accented syllables only
slightly - and raise or lower emphatic
words only trifle more The trick is to
transform your sharps and fats into
something like whole notes.

YOU correct another fault in personality

with dead voice.
The next stage is to enunciate every
syllable distinctly and every word sepa-
rately. A sloppy" voice comes from
violation of this principle. When you
have corrected these two flaws, your
voice will have what so many lack -
authority. That is half the battle. but
only the less important half. 1t may
still have lifeless effect

Hard to do? Not very. if you have

the best school for voice-corection
known to man - the radio. The an

commentators, have been chosen for the
live quality and effectiveness of their
voices. Listen to them and try in your
own speech to initiate them.
Any Accent win Do
UNLESS you are born mimic, you will
never initiate them perfectly. Nor is
that desirable. But your imperfect imi-

Do not worry about your native
