The three day convention period in Jacksonville itself was a gala occasion, climaxed with a banquet given in their honor by John H.

Under our law, foreign flag ships lar fight. SHIPS BADLY NEEDED Now the fight if it can be dignified by that name is over whether we are going to turn all our coastwise ships over to Britain. Those ships are needed to carry the supplies we want to give Britain across the Atlantic, and, as Col. William J. Donovan says, there is no use making the guns and shells and planes if we can't deliver them. sessions were broken with interesting side trips that one afternoon carried the group to Jacksonville Beach for a dip in the Atlantic and a fish fry, another to St. Augustine where they visited Old Fort Marion, famed Marine Studios and other points of interest and again had supper on the beach. Tour of State. Determined that the group should really see something of Florida before leaving, Florida newspaper folks took the visiting scribes on a seven-datour of the state. There were shown the University of Florida at Gainesville, beautiful Silver Springs near Oca la where, from glass bottom boats, they viewed an underwater fairyland, watched the filming of scenes for the forthcoming screen version of "The Yearling," saw Ross Allen milk rattlesnakes at his Reptile institute and visited the Seminole Indian village. Journeying on they traversed the scenic lake and hill section with its thousands of acres of citrus groves, stopped briefly at Leesburg and San Lando Springs to arrive at Orlando, central Florida's largest city and hub of the great citrus industry. Guests of the city, they enjoyed a reception and banquet and found excellent hotel accommodations that insured a restful night. se Next comes the question, what will happen to that freight that these 113 ships have been carrying? That's easy, to. M. J. Gormley, executive assistant of the Association of American Railroads, says the increase in the railroad business resulting would be so slight "we would hardly notice it." The last available figures, if you are skeptical, are of the year 1937, but that happens to have been the best year since Coolidge. In that period eastbound traffic via the Panama canal amounted to 4,693,541 short tons, or 177,486 carloads, while westbound traffic amounted to 3,039,-16short tons, or 109,355 carloads.

So far this government has in4 to expanding existing shipyards rather than to constructing new yards. LABOR SHORTAGE UNLIKELY The chief objection made to new shipyards, such as Hog Island, is that they would drain workers away from existing yards. There is, of cousse, this danger. But there is also a lot of bunk to it. For example, the British in peace time, always made an apprentice work for seven jler years before he could be a maker, but at Hog Island duri.;the war men who had no more knowledge of machinery before going there than operating a lawn mower were turned into pretty good mechanics. During the first World war also the ship building facilities of the Great Lakes were used heavily. Plenty of the very type of ships needed most can be built on the lakes now and transported to the ocean through the existing waterway, including the Welland canal. Perfectly good freight ships have always used this route. There is considerable point to buiding smaller ships for running the submarine blockade. One reason is that it is a much simpler proposition to build a small ship than a Queen Mary. Another is that it takes less experienced officers to navigate her. And finally there is much less loss when a torpedo sends her to the bottom. Most of the transatlantic freight was always carried in small ships anvhow. n, Mc-Ke- Agricultural Outlook Improves clined j : L Ml saw U Jy- - WL'Jr) MiM;MM(M' MHIIIMW ffVjP fJ 4 k M.

The increasing influence of the conscription act will have widespread effects on higher education, according to Dr. Shirley A. Hamrin, director of Northwestern university's summer session and university college. "Because many students will not be able to complete a r college course before they become eligible for selective service'," he said, "many will take three years' intensive work, including three .sum four-yea- mer sessions, in order to get their degree before they become 21 years old." Since the deferment of college students of draft age ends on July 1 of this year, students will not be able to predict their own status in the future. This will undoubtedly have some effect on enrollment, Dr. Hamrin said. He predicted, however, that unless war is declared, there will be little, if any, in regular year registration.

Here the party broke up and the visitors were carried on to Jacksonville where trains were waiting to take them to their respective states. Those who took the side trip to Cuba had an equally enjoyable time and were wined, dined and entertained during their three-da- y stay on the island. All agreed that the Florida convention and tour was the most enjoyable and interesting in N. E.

Here is the manner in which the First Lady presents her ideas on the subject: "I personally hope that a year of compulsory service will also be considered for girls. I do not, of course, think of girls as taking the same training, or doing the same kind of work that boys will probably do, nor do I think of them serving in camps. However, just as there are boys whose interests and capacities vary, so have girls interests and capacities. I think the opportunity should be offered to girls to work and train themselves along many different lines." The above statement appears in the current issue of the Ladies Home Journal. Specifically Mrs. Roosevelt sug gests that the girls do their year of service, in large part, in their own in hospitals communities . in home economics school courses in courses in rural areas . . . and in optional courses in mechanical training in resident centers such as the National Youth administration's "If a girl wished to go there, she could obtain training for a job, in case of an emergency, ordinarily filled by a man. And there is mechanical work suited to a woman's ability in many peacetime industries," she explains in advancing her idea. "If we compel our children, for their own good, to go to school, I see nothing undemocratic in giving the people of the country an opportunity to decide at the polls whether they believe a year's service at a given age for the boys and girls of the nation would be of value to them as individuals and to the nation as a whole," she states. "I believe that girls, if it is decided to require of them a year of service should be placed on exactly the same footing as men, and they should be given the same subsistence and the same wage." "Of course, if a girl lives at home, what is allowed the boys as a subsistence in camps should be allowed to the home for the girl's subsistence, and she should receive the same cash remuneration which the boys receive. The difference in the type of service rendered makes no real difference, and they are entitled to equal remuneration," she explains. ... ESS I i& i Mayo, Florida's agricultural commissioner, welcomed the group and escorted them through the world's largest state farmer's market and ladies of the community served fresh strawberry shortcake. Welcomed in St. Petersburg, the "Sunshine City," with bands and banners they toured the city and were guests at a banquet provided by the local daily papers, Times and Independent. See 'Peerless Pinellas. The next day traversing the "Peerless Pinellas" peninsula they lunched at Clearwater on the Gulf, visited the sponge fisheries at Tarpon Springs and enjoyed a reception at Dupree Gardens, arriving in Tampa in time to view McDill field, the new southeastern army air base, and attend another banquet at which the Tampa Tribune was host. Turning south through rich citrus and truck areas they saw the towns of Bradenton, Sarasota, Punta Gor-d- a and arrived at Ft. Myers for luncheon, guests of the Chamber of Commerce. Then across the mysterious Everglades via the Tamiami Trail to arrive in Miami for a supper at the swanky Royal Palm Club. The next day was devoted to sightseeing in the greater Miami area and included breakfast at one of the famed beach hotels, luncheon at Coral Gables and supper at the Pan American International airport, where they witnessed the arrival of clipper ships from South America. Here the party was divided with a portion of the group boarding a steamer for a side trip to Cuba, while those remaining continued the Florida tour and the following day breakfasted at Hollywood Beach, visited plantations of the United States gar corporation at Clewis-towhere they were luncheon guests, skirted the shores of Lake Okeechobee to arrive in West Palm Beach where they were guests of the city. Along East Coast. Following a sightseeing tour of the Palm Beaches the party journeyed northward up the Florida east e coast, stopping for luncheon at Jungle Gardens near Vero Beach.

In 1934, as director of the remedial loan division of the Russell Sage foundation, he began sniping at the NRA, and his shots were so accurately aimed as to arouse, not the anger, but the admiration of Gen. Hugh Johnson who grabbed him as consumer advisor. Very soon thereafter he became director of research and planning, and when a Supreme court broadside sank the NRA he was appointed secretary of the senate commit-te- e on manufactures.
