'WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1928 UNITED STATES | Northoote Smits st Death | SHIPPING WILL _ INOREASE SOON Optimism Pervades Annual Report on Merchant Marine Conditions Washington, Dec. 5.—(AP)—A shaft of optimism today was shot through the Shipping Board’s pic- ture of the operations of the Amer- ican merchant marine ‘during the year. With the nation’s shipping in a comparatively low state, the board manifested assurance in its annual report over the prospects for suc- cessful privately owned _ lines through the provisions of the Jones-White merchant marine’ act passed last spring. The board predicted that consider- able new construction of merchant vessels would be gotten under way during the coming year as a result of the passage of the act increasing the construction loan fund, provid- ing liberal terms for loans and means by which ship operators have obtained valuable mail carrying con- tracts. The new measure gives every rea- sonable indication of accomplishing the three main purposes for which it was enacted, namely, to assist i the development of the American merchant marine generally, to aid in increasing the foreign commerce of the United States, and to facilitate the transfer of the government’s war-built fleet and established services to private ownership,” the Teport said. United States Lags Declaring that the American ship- ping industry cannot stand still the report said that for every ocean go- ing ship laid in this country, 50 are laid in England, 10 in Germany, five in France and Italy each and four in Japan. Total loss on operations and ves- sels laid up during the fiscal year ending June 30, amounted to $17,- 891,000, including the loss of the United States Lines of $465,000 compared with the net profits of $371,000 during 1927. Exclusive of the loss of the United States Lines, the net loss for cargo and combined passenger and cargo services for voyages and inactive vessels amounted to $16,926,000, which is a reduction of $1,364,000 from the 1927 figure. Cargo Tonnage Grows The report attributed the losses partly to increased cost in prepar- ing the vessels for service, compared with similar costs in previous years, and to the fact that there was not as great a demand for American The fact that he has confessed chicken ranch near Los Angeles, to the charges. to the murder of one small boy on his| les, officers say, and is accused of the mur- ler of several others, doesn’t appear to be worrying Gordon Stewart | Northcott, brought back from Vancouver, B.

D., Dec. 5.—(AP) ~Plans to stage an annual contest in typing in connect’ sn with the high school contests held at the univers- ity here each spring are being form- ulated by the university extension division which has general super- vision of such activities. Miss Lois H. Wolf of Devils Lake. who managed the first contest lact spring, has been appointed to con- duct the contest in 1929. The typing contest last spring was arranged for by the commercial course teachers of the state and was not under the direct jurisdiction of university of- ficials, Consideration now is being given to expand the typing contest to in- clude contests i manship and possibly rapid calcula- tion. Records compiled at the uhiversity and contained in the bulletin issued by the extension d2partment, show that Rose Kuppe won the contest for amateurs last year with 69.5 words er minute. Leila Christen, Devils Lake, was first in the novice class with 54.6 words per minute. Other contestants in the amateur class, in the order of their stand- ing, were Alice Webb, Casselton; Ruth Ashley, Grand Forks; Betsy Everson, Grand Forks; Lei! Devils Lake; Martha _Ingvaldson, Cando; Inez Anderson, Valley City; Olive Hall, Bismarck; Estelle Burk, Grand Forks; Dolores Gorman, marck; Jeanette Thal, Lakota; La- mont Hoskin, Bismarck. Following Miss Christen in the novice class were: Lillian Clausen, Devils Lake; Lucilly Smith, Cando; Georgiana Smith, Dickinson; Gwend- olyn Tise, Casselton; Lillian Peck, Park River; Grace Livdahl, Bis- marck; Gladys Martin, Park River; Dorothy Hathys, Mandan; Louise Johns, Velva; Leila Olson, Park River; Whitley West, Valley City, and Gladys Von Ha Bismarck. ‘DEBATE COSTS TOBEREDUCED {State University Organizes De- bate Groups Among Neigh- in. shorthand, pen-| H i This non-sectarian, non-political, society has been organized to promote a better understanding among intelligent adherents of all religious creeds through the dis semi ation of a finer type of litera- ture than the blatant, unfair, and often ridiculous material spread throughout the country by the forces of bigotry.

ERRONEOUS STATEMENTS! WILL BE ANSWERED IN DUE} TIME BY THE CALVERT AS- SOCIATION. \ Patriotism of Catholics Have Catholics ever failed the Uni- ted States by any test of patriotic demands? NO. | The record shows from the very| beginning of this nation that Cath- olics have always done not only their duty in war and peace, but that they have often done more than their duty, and often in numbers far more than their proportion in the total population would indicate. On the other hand, no single authentic in- stance has ever been cited where Catholics have failed in the demands of patriotism. It must be remembered that up to the very date of the adoption of the Federal Constitution there had been in all the Colonies statutes dis- criminatory against Catholics; con- sequently there were very few of them in the American Colonies at the time of the Revolutior. Yet those who were here seem to have done their duty to the last man.

Even granting that three- fourths of these Irish had fallen away from the Catholic Faith, when added to the French, Poles and other Catholics, the army under Wash- ington’s command must have been predominantly of the Catholic faith. Catholics were loyal when there was added to the United States the great Northwest Territory, embr: ing the present states of Ohio. = diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis- cons Though the Canadians did not join the Colonies in their fight for liberty—and they might have joined had it not been for the fanat- ical anti-Catholic utterances John Jay in the Continental Con- gress—they never fought with th | British.

The memorial to Hall will be a tablet, placed on the house in the} rear of which he worked in a shed. | Hall found the key to the Process | Feb. 23, 1886. , He at once told Pro- | fessor Jewett, his old mentor in} chemistry, now dead, and Jewett’s good memory of that event later re- sulted in Hall winning a law suit | involving ownership of the fabu- lously important process. The tablet on the house at East | College and Pleasant street, unveil- ed, reads. “In This House, Charles Martin Hall discovered the electrolytic Process of making aluminum, Feb. 23, 1886, the year following his | graduation from Oberlin College, thus making available for industry a metal long known but little used.” The life story of the earnest young student of chemistry is fiction in every day life. Professor Jewett took care before he died to record his association with Hall. He recalled him as a boy of 14, coming to his laboratory to buy test tubes with money he had scraped together. i One day in: class, said Jewett, he remarked to his students that if anyone could perfect a. process whereby aluminum could be made on a commercial scale he not only would be a benefactor to the world, but would lay up a great fortune, The . professor’s memoirs: quote Hall as saying: “ ‘I’m going for that metal.’ ” Six months later Hall came to the laboratory and said: “Professor, I've got it.” In his hand lay a dozen little globules of aluminum, the first ever made by the electro- lytic process in this country, Jewett pulled out his’ watch and noted that he had a class. “Return,” he told the student, “in two hours and tell me all about it.” A few months later the same in- vention was achieved by Paul L. V. Heroult in France. Controversy over who was first with the invention led to the court action, which Hall won, mostly because of the testimony of his old professor, Hall loved his Alma Mater with @ devotion that always found ex- protsion in gifts, and when he died he great sum was willed to it.

Governor General Simpson recently made an appeal to the public for funds, contribution of $2,500. To date the Commander W. B. Styles, jr., of the destroyer Peary, reported upon his return from a tour of investig: tion of the Island of Samar, that 100,000 persons must be fed in that region. The governor of the island province of Leyte requested $5,000 and two thousand sacks of rice for immediate relief in his district. Leyte suffered the greatest loss of life, there having been 234 fatalities. HEALTH CAUSES DUPONT TO QUIT Delaware Senator Resigns; Wilmington Judge Seen as Succegsor Wilmington, Del., Dec. 5.—(P)— United States Senator T. Coleman Dupont of Delaware has resigned his seat in the senate because of his health, The resignation was made known today by Governor Robinson who cases where the schools have only one debating team each the plan is to have cight schools in a group. Schools having both negative and af- firmative teams will be organized in groups of four each. The principal weakness of the plan, it is pointed out, is that no provision is made for giving the de- aters experience before they enter the group contests but debating team coaches in the various high schools are expected to provide their own so- lutions for this problem. The idea is to have the teams win- ning the group debates meet in elimination contests until only four teams are left. These will be asked to debate at the university during the annual spring festival, for the championship of the state.

And now the crisis has come. She sees all that her beloved husband had dreamed of and worked for so long, slipping forever beyond his reach. And all for a lack of money. For herself she does not care. But for her husband, whom she worships, it means failure, disillusionment, despair, unless— laxative known | - Yes—she believes there is a way out. She has heard of women who are rich and childless— who have said they would give thousands of dollars if they could adopt a baby, and be sure of its heredity. But as the golden dreams of approaching motherhood fill her soul — as she visions her ming baby, with its bright, laughing eyes, its curly hair and dear chubby little fists — she wonders if she can go through with it. True, the secret of her coming baby is still her own. Even ber husband, who would be wild with joy at the news, does not know—need never know.
