A1CS1UCAN SHIPPING DECLINING' Itevoi-fis of ocean carrying under tbo American Has protw that something mori; than ships is needed to tuaiuj a nation a factor in maritiuie transportation, in Juiy, 1920, lareiga vessels carried only 36 per cent at our Imports, -while in July this year they had 54 yer ccai tilt tataU During the same period indepeadeuit Atnsrlcan Tcssels increased their percentage from 32 to 36 pr cent, while shipping bonrd craft lest 22 per cent. Il both the import and export divisions slapping board vessels are doing less and less, while independent Axuerican shipping is making slight gains, but vhere c?a bo no denying that foreign ships are rapidly recovering conrxol of the ocean business which thsy coinlnated before the war. It wu? th proud belief of Americans that revival of a nerohsnt marine under Old Glory would be one compensation for the sacrifices this country made in the wr. Who could doubt that it would be so when we kad irady for use such an enormous number of ahdrfi and men to man them, to say nothing of the trafflo to V-aep them busy? It Beerus nowthat we took a rat Cv'-l L-r traated. One thing we overlooked was th ;l lliiiObi""- of our associates In the war to let ua keep tho bv i that fell to U3 as the result of their totlritlKa t ave ben getting back into the ocean carrylns t ' - competing with us and beating us. We hT as i . . ships but they have more favorable marine Imw , la consequence they are able to get the bnsiaeesa.

TKfa is e matter for regret hy Americans, But fher no us ' -ylng over our disappointment. Our fr ' - ' : ; ts-t not to be expected to hand us anvi . .v . anape our affairs bo that we .v i .-! the marine transnortaticfn ' .."V . , without It. No American - - - of them. This matter of

merchant marine on which we ifad placed Uch high hopes may be considered in connection with the huge sums which European countries owe us. They would like to be relieved of their indebtedness, but in time they will be earning and should pay. Their recovery on th seas at our expense is proof that they will be able to pay. But the American authorities must strive to hold our flag on the seas.

THOSE WHO CAN'T READ. If what we have learned from investigations carried on during and since the war comes anywhere near the truth, the problem of illitoracy goes some what deeper than we had supposed. We had thought that all we had to do to stamp out Illiteracy was to make sure that every child received a primary school education. Hut it seems as if that Is not a positive guarantee against illiteracy. It may sound somewhat incredible, but among educators who have scanned closely the mental tests which wore given our soldiers the opinion seems to be growing that people can forget to read. Some of our so-called illiteracy Is to be laid at the door of lack of occasion and Inducement for readingThe school, it is maintained, might put all Its resources to work to teach Individuals to read fairly well, but still if by chance any of these Individuals leave school at an early enough age, they could forget what they had learned. As a matter of fact, a great many children leave school at an age before reading has become a habit with them. No doubt a goodly share of these unfortunates eventually lead lives In which the ability to reaed is fostered because of necessity. But there still remains an alarmingly large number to whom this good fortune does not come. Despite the fact that thousands of tons of printed matter are sent from the presses of the country every day, these persons And neither occasion nor inducement to look at printed pages. We might blame the offending individuals for being tco shiftless to take advantage of opportunities easily within their reach. But even this would not remedy the matter; it would not teach them to lead. The fact remains that If we are to carry on a successful campaign against Illiteracy, we must employ methods which will get at this large number of individuals. It Is said that these people number mlLHons. Would it not be worth while to investigate what manner of life these peeople lead for whom the printed page Is unintelligible?

An Illinois court holds that a woman has a right to change her mind. We thought that had been conceded.

A Chicago man traded a concertina for his wife and regrets the deal. He could make the concertina shut up.

Cut It

for sandwich

When you want to make up a lot of sandwiches I in a hurry Certified Bread, the big Double Loaf. Just cut straight across the loaf. Two nice slices. Butter both slices at the same time. Lay your filler on one slice and fold the other slice over. That's all. But the real big thing about Certified Bread is its wonderful, rich taste. It has so much milk, fugar and shortening in it. Great for bread-and-butter! Great for toast! And great for sandwiches 1 Why shouldn't the bread part of your sandwiches be just as good as the delicious chicken or tongue or cheese ?

Certified Bread costs the same as usual bread. Your grocer will give you back your money if it isn't the best bread you ever tasted. You keep the bread. We pay the grocer the money back.
