WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—Every
I -i\ minutes a merchant vessels a
| i iv. s and am ‘her departs from an
'mil can port From North Atlantic
seaports there is a departure every
eleven minutes, and one for Europe
every forty minutes. This rate of op
eration does not include vessels in
the service of the army or navy.
The merchant fleet of 1.500 ships un
der the control of the Shipping Board
are run as railroads, on a time sched
ule The duty of measuring ships'
performances with their tasks is
lodged with the planning and statis
tics division of the Shipping Board,
j headed by E. H. Gay, formerly dean
of the Harvard Graduate School of
Business
Obviously, the division must know,
the tasks in details, anti so it co- j
ordinates with the war industries and;
war trade board* in determining and
providing for the country's needs from ;
abroad. It works on month to month;
schedules, or as fur in advance as it
is feasible or possible to forecast.
In planning the use ot ships the
division works with the food admin
istration in determining the shipping
requirements for food; with the war
department in correlating shipping
with the requirements of the line of
supplies to the western front; with
the war industries board in seeking
solution of the problem ol bringing
necessary raw imports into the coun
try; and w ith the war trade board in j
preparing the lists of essential im
ports and exports.
As the country has gone more anil
more on a war basis, it has been re
garded necessary to limit the Hat of
essential imports to less than a hun
dred. Data on the ships and their]
trade provides the basis for operation j
of the vessels under the Shipping
board's control. Likewise, records are!
kept of neutral vessels turning to J
this country or linking up with its:
i foreign trade. Thus the division
j checks daily about 7.000 vessels, 1,500 j
ol them being those of the Shipping ]
Hoard, 3,000 engaged directly in
American commerce and 2.500 scat-J
tered over the globe and tracing for j j
the most part with the allies or their
colonies. Roughly, one-fourth of the
merchant ships of the world are
watched by the Shipping Board.
Ship performances against tasks
..re recorded by "progress charts."
v hioh show at a glance what the ves
sels have to do and how they are
doing it. Each set of charts is dl
i ided into ten divisions—ou> each for
movements of vessels, turnarounds
ships' charts of commodities, indi
vidual commodity charts, summary of
imports, individual trades, summary
of trades, ship charts of exports, per
formances in ports, and dock perform
ances Copies are distributed every
ten days to governments which re
quire constant information about the
movement of supplies.
By these movement charts all in
formation regarding locations and
movements of vessels is accessible,
and from past records one may for*
cast the time of future voyages.
The summary of shipping and
trade, prepared every ten days for
the war industries and war trade
boards and the food administration,
helps shape the larger policies under
lying the use of American ships in
war time. The charts tell whether
the ships allocated to a certain trade j
are enough, too many or too lew;
whether they bring In too little or1
too much; whether they are on time,
ahead of time or behind time, and
whether the trade movement is too!
slow, too fast or just right The
charts also serve to guide the ship
control committee in the assignment
of vessels to various trade. By com-1
paring import requirements against!
deliveries the charts show when ves
sels may be transferred from one
trade to another or released to the
army.

Why be satisfied with the wear you |
get from ordinary boots
when you get so much more from Hi-Press?
This is no idle claim, but a fact proven by miners,
farmers and construction workers from Alaska to
Mexico. “Hi-Press” is made by a new and better
method—the greatest advance in footwear in fifty years.
