Rhine Growing As Major Cargo River FRANKFURT, Germany (UPD —The mighty Rhine River, steeped in folklore and tradition, remains one of Europe’s greatest waterways. A total of five national flags can be seen on this river—Belgian, Dutch, Swiss, French and West Germany’s black, red and gold. , Barges and ships from 30 different shipping lines and those of 8,000 individual owners navigate the vital waterway daily. ' Before World War II 70 million tons of cargo were shipped on the Rhine. Last year that figure was almost doubled. The river is not only holding its own with land and air transport but traffic is constantly growing. A recent survey showed that at Basel, Switzerland, the annual cargo totaled over 6 million tons. At Strasbourg, France, the cargo amounted to 12 million tons, while at Mannheim, Germany, where the Neckar River joins the Rhine, 35 million tons of materials are moved annually by barge. At Emmerich on the Dutch frontier, where traffic is heaviest, 70

million tons move yearly. The oil pipeline is one of the modern forms of competition with which the Rhine is faced today. However, in 1957 Rhine barges transported 10 million tons of crude oil. The advent of the pipeline has, nevertheless, reduced the amount of crude oil being shipped on the vital waterway. To compensate for this, greater amounts of coal, iron ore, gravel and other similar materials are now being shipped by barge. The expanding steel industry also needs greater amounts of iron ore which comes from Sweden, Spain and Venezuela via Rotterdam. The ore will be transported to its final destination along the Rhine by barge. Moreover, the large network of smaller rivers and canals emptying into the Rhine are being prepared to take their place in the Rhine shipping system. The canal system of the Moselle is expected to be finished by 1963, which will permit 1,500-ton barges to move between the giant Lorraine steel center of Thionville and Koblenz, Germany. Though most of the crude oil used by German refineries is now sent through pipelines instead of transported by barge, shipping officials say it appears that barges navigating the Rhine will be re-

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Bathtubs A Rarity Back lii The 1880 s NEW YORK (UPD - Regular bathing is a surprisingly new fad on the American scene, according to a home economist for a manufacturer of automatic water softeners. She is Miss Linda Scott, home economist for the Lindsay Company, which is compiling a series of historical sketches on the various uses of water in its relation to the growth and development of civilizations. The material will be presented to school home economic classes. Miss Scott said that a survey in the 1880’s revealed that five out of six dwellings in American cities had no bathtub, and a common belief of the period was that perspiration kept a man clean. In the course of her research, Miss Scott came up with these other notes: —Napoleon took a hot bath daily. He was so much a “part” of his tub that he signed the Louisiana Purchase while soaking in hot water. —ln 1829, one daredevil suggested that the public should as- | pire to daily bathing instead of

Prior to his administration, any president who wanted to bathe had to bring his own tub when he assumed office. Heading 'em Off EL PASO, Tex.

Manufacturers Cash In On Color Appeal NEW YORK (UPI) — Manufacturers are cashing in on the appeal of color and its influence on even the smallest decisions in our everyday life, according to J. M. Feild, an expert on the subject. “Telephone companies are learning that red booths attract many times more business than the old-fashioned varnished wood and glass ones,” Feild said. “They also have learned that the color of the interior influences the length of the call, and that the public thinks a bell sounds louder in a white booth and softer in one painted a darker color. “The right tones of blue will draw housewives into a supermarket and make them spend more time among the food-stocked shelves, theoretically adding more items to their shopping casts. But it will drive them away from the meat counter.” Feild, vice president of Pennsylvania Color and Chemical Co., a division of Sun Chemical Corp., cited typewriters as another example. “Black typewriters Unger only in the drabbest of business and newspaper offices,” he said. “When they finally have been worn out, even they are being replaced by gray and tan machines.” Geography is another factor influencing color preference, he said. In sunny Pacific Coast areas, tan and cream auto colors are preferred, while on the East somber and city-practical darker colors dominate. "One manufacturer lost a $250,000 order for flatirons when he
