Or how she came to capture One who likes fellows best. But, oh, I think with rapture, She isn’t like the rest. Of course she is a woman, But seldom wants her way; he's nothing more than human. And, yet, no single day Could 1 exist without her. The truth must be confessed, I cannot scorn or doubt her— “Bhe isn’t like the rest.” x*** Mr. and Mrs. James B.

Dr. Nevins sets forth this view in “Sail On”, the story of the American merchant marine, pub- lish yesterday. il “Harris, chairman of the board of the United States Lines, contributes our own satisfaction. The main|their vehicles to a stop. All 0c-!5 goreword for the volume. Traeing the development of merchant shipping in this country 1 from its earliest times, Dr. Nev- ins recounts the steady rise of the merchant marine through the glo- ries of the clipper ship era, on through the doldrums after 1865 and into the contributions made by shipping to help with both’the first and second world ‘wars. He “Before 1917 that failure, con- sidering the widespread American belief that-we would never be in- volved in a world struggle, was more or less excusable. Before 1941, it was much more serious and blameworthy. A third failure might be a terrible disaster.” Dr. Nevins goes on to say :“In various ways our policy can un- the changed world situation will | demand certain new measures.
