DANDELION WINE
Well we know when spring comes for
the dandelions are out with their full dress;
suits on. The dandelion may be a weed, but
its golden stars add a fresh beauty to spring.
Moreover, it has played a considerable part
for years in household economy. The greens
make a most palatable dish, boiled or as a
salad. Of late this hardy and pervasive
plant has won a new popularity. Cidar and
fruit juices are among the simple pleasures
of the farmers; but any one can make dan
delion wine.
POLICE!
Possibly the abundance of crime in this
country is due to the paucity of police. The
Merchants association in New York, sup
porting Commissioner McLaughlin's request
for 3000 more patrolmen, says that New
York has one policeman for every 556 resi
dents, visitors and commuters; London has
one for each 129, Brussels one for each 205,
Berlin one for each 225, Vienna one for each
275 and Paris one for each 276 persons.
A SENATORIAL WARNING
Senator Jones of Washington, author
of the merchant marine act of 1920, told a
group of men representing American ship
ping interests that unless those interests
could get together and concentrate their ef
forts on devising a policy in the next year
or the year after, the United States would
go right back to where it was when the war
broke out.
The hearing on the so-called Pepper
ship aid plan was the cause of the comment.
Defenders of the Pepper plan explained that
the object of the bill was to build up the Am
erican merchant marine by reducing the
capital cost of ships. Under this bill it is
proposed that the government rebate to
shipbuilders in fifteen-year 4 per cent bonds
the difference between the cost of building
ships in American ship yards and in for
eign yards, up to 30 per cent of the total
cost.* It is explained that such a rebate is
necessary to make up the difference in cost,
owing to cheaper materials and labor
abroad.
America’s overseas freight bill amounts
to about $500,000,000 annually, and most of
this is paid to foreign vessels. To surren
der ocean transportation to foreign vessels
will subject American shippers to exorbi
tant freight rates.
Great industries have been built up un
der the principle of a protective tariff. The
ocean-carrying trade is the only trade ne
cessarily open to free competition with the
whole maritime world. If the principle of
government protection were applied to
ocean vessels, the American merchant ma
rine might be built up permanently. Protec
tion of American coast-wise trade makes it
successful free trade in ocean transporta
tion overwhelms American vessels,. which
,which are expensive to build and which car
ry highly paid crews.
One may get a fair knowledge of human
nature by trying to lead a calf.
Wonder if those naughty movie films
have a bad moral effect on the censors.
