UNITED STATES
OWNS QUART \
WORLDTONNAGE
LONDON, Sept. 2 (by Associated
Press).—According to Lloyds Register
of Shipping for 1920-21 just issued, the
seagoing tonnage of the United States
apart from great lakes shipping has in
creased sinve 1914 over 500 per cent
and now stands at 12,406,000 tons.
Thus the United States comes second
only to the united kingdom which has
18.111.000 tons.
Japan, which in 1914 took sixth
place, is now third, with 2,996.000 tons
closely followed by France, with 2,963,
000 tons.
Including sailing ships, but exclud
ing tonnage on the great lakes, the
United States now owns 24 per cent
of the world’s tonnage, as against 4.7
per cent six years ago, the Register
states.
The figures show for the formerly
belligerent countries include a consid
erable amount of enemy tonnage pro
visionally allocated to those countries.
Germany, which in 1914 occupied
after the united kingdom, the first pos
ition with over 5,000.000 tons of ship
ping, now only owns 419,000 tons.
The steam tonnage owned by the
principal maritime countries in June,
1920, totalled 53,905,000, an increase of
8.501.00 tons as compared with June
1914; but it is computed that the
world’s net loss in shipping through
the war, taking into account the sus
pension in normal shipbuilding activ
ities, amounts to 3,516,000 tons.
There is a reduction in sailing ton
nage since the pre-war days of 614,
000 tons, a much smaller decrease than
in -any previous six-year period and
doubtless accounted for. says the Reg
ister, by the shortage of other tonnage
having given new life to the construc
tion of sailing vessels. The United
States, the only country which has in
creased sailing tonnage since 1014,
now owns over 43 per cent of the
world’s sailing tonnage.
ENGLISHMAN EMPLOYS
ONLY ONE-ARMED MEN
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 2 (by As
sociated Press).—England’s greatest
employer of one armed men, W. H.
Dunkley of London, manufacturer of
carriages, recently visited this city on
a preliminary survey of land and "so
cial conditions in Canada, with the
view of bringing the poor from the
slums of London to Canadian farms.
Since the armistice, Mr. Dunkley has
employed none but one-armed men. e
now has three hundred of them in his
factory and has found that these crip
pled soldiers, properly trained, not
only can do almost the wrork of a man
with two hands, but are given a new
interest in life working entirely with
men of their kind.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4 (by Associated
Press).—The long period between the
election of the president of the United
States and his inauguration is “a ser
ious evil fraught with much danger,”
according to the report of a special
committee on the change in date of
the presidential inauguration, present
ed at the convention of the American
Bar Association.
The report recommends that the
period be shortened, and that the
short term of the old congress be
eliminated. It, however, does not sug
gest any other date for the inaugura
tion, explaining that March 4, has
been recognized by constitutional
amendment as the date of inaugural.
It adds:
“The committee, however, is of the
opinion that it is the duty of this as
sociation representing the great body
of lawyers of the country to call the
attention of congress to those provi
sions of the law and of the constitu
tion which are fraught with serious
danger and which are liable to bring
humiliation and disaster to the repub
lic.
It states that the period between
election and inauguration is “liable
to leave the administration in hands
which have been discredited by a pop
ular vote of want of confidence and
that such a situation greatly weakens
the prestige of the government both
at home and abroad.
“The three month’s session of the
old congress occurring after a new
congress has been elected is also most
unsatisfactory and serves as an oppor
tunity for partisan activity of the
worst kind.”
FROM GROWING WHEAT
TO HOT BISCUITS IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR
CHAPMAN, Ivan., Sept. 2 (by Ass oci
ated Press).—Transformation of
wheat from standing grain to hot. bis
cuits in 55 minutes is a record es
tablished here recently by Harry Ruff,
he^d of a local milling company. lie

thresher, which cuts and threshes the
grain in one operation, and took two
bushels of wheat. This he rushed to
the mill where it was ground immed
iately, then took the flour home and
Mrs. Huff made bisquits.
Prom the time the grain was cut
to the first bite of biscuit was 5 min
utes less than an hour, including ‘62
minutes spent on the road.
