Trade Dependent on Good Will. Probably in no country in the world is trade so dependent upon good will and a friendly feeling than in Chin Tho action of the House has prac- tically guaranteed that this legisla- tion will pass, because a similar reso- lation was passed by the Senate in 1921, This initiative by the United States wins especial merit in China, because Gireat Britain and France are ally forced to follow the ex- of the United States. Members of Congress and officials of the Commerce Department are much gratified by the dispatches that have been received by the Chinese minister. and which he has laid be- fore Chairman Porter of the House forcign affairs committee, who handled this measure.

Va, May 17— ‘Twas on the Potomic’s, not the Jordan banks they stood, and although the torrent leaped to within two feet of their door the Bond family, living along the Po- tomac here, refused to desert their home during the recent flood waters. All other families forsook their homes in fear and the Bond family, living in_a humble cot- tage close to the river, found themselves eventually marooned from land and friends. As the water centinued to rise they sat on the front porch and sang and played gospel hymns. The accompaniment was supplied by an accordion. When urged to move they consistently refused, declaring they would “trust in the Lord.” Neighbors who had fled stood close erough 16 see the out- come and were somewhat cha- grined two hours later to see the Wnl(!l‘l' b(gmhlo recede without getting to the first floor of th Bond home. Eis SHIP SALE DIRECTOR TESTIFIES IN PROBE Philbin Reviews Disposal of the Martha Washington—Hughes Activity Discussed. J. Harry Philbin, director of ship ales of the Shipping Board, testified vesterday in the House shipping in- quiry that he refused to turn over for disposal the steamer Martha Washing- ton, later sold to an Italian concern for $60,000, because no American bids were considered. The law stipulates that such a step must be taken before a ship can be sold to foreigners. The sale, furthermore, was not in accordance with the “private com- petitive sale” provisions of the board advertisement. which name the Martha Washir s an “ex- enemy” vessel.

Secretary Hughes' activities in hav- ing the Martha Wa with an appraised value of turned back to its original owners for $60,000 after Congress had refus to authorize such a transfer and after Mr. Hughes had said that Congress alone had power to direct such a transaction be made, were discussed before the committee Friday. Failing prior to his entering the cabinet to have Congre act such a bill, Mr. Hughes, while Secretary of State, “reversed himself and had the decsion that he said ought to have been made by Congress made by the Shipping Board on importunities of the men who were operating directly under and signing for him.,” Repre- sentive Lineberger, Republican, Cali- tornia, charged. — FINANCES BARGE LINES. House Passes Bill for U. S. Corpora- tion on Two Rivers. A government corporation operat- ing barge lines on inland waterwa particularly the Mississippi and War rior Rivers, would be created under the terms of a bill passed Friday by_the House and sent to the Senate. The corporation would have a capi- tal stock of $5,000,000 to be owned by the government, with the manage- ment invested in the retary of War, who now has jurisdiction over the inland coastwise water service. An advisory board would be ap- pointed by the Secretary ofWar from individuals _prominently identified with commercial or industrial inter- est: Representative Denison. Republi- can, Illinois, who introduced the bill, said the corporation was designed to operate the inland waterways on a business basis and demonstrate to private capital that water transpor- tation is a paying proposition. Sy ey Accountants Plan Dinner. A “get-together dinner” for the purpose of getting the members of the District of Columbia Institute of Accountants more thoroughly ac- quainted with the aims and purposes of the institute, and getting non membe: who are eligible for mem bership interested in the organiza- tion, will be given by the institute in the blue room of the Ci Club Tues- day evening. The local institute, it is pointed out, has been organized more than a year, and its membership is said to consist of the leading acting certified public accountants of the District of Columbia. William Cla- baugh, recently elected president of the Rotary Club, is president. Frank E. Webner is vice president and J. A. Councilor, secretary and treasurer. RS ago, men bought paper-soled shoes. They don’t do it any more. Whyt Because they have learned that the secret of owning berter shoes is to buy good ones and wear them out. Today, many men are still buying “psper-soled”’ motoe cars. Why? Because they dorft kmow as much about moter cars as they do about shoes. . They have yet to learn the secret of owning a good motor car—wearing it out tnstead of trad- ing it out. We want every man who buys a Packard to wear it out. The man who trades his car in every two years or so is working for Uncle Sam, the railroads and three automobile men.

Hays and others.
