Washington, Aug. 27.—The ud- miniatration today mapped out com prehensive plana for building up the American merchant marine with gov ernment money for the immediate purpose of transporting products of the United States to warring Euro pean nations and to South and Cen tral America. President Wilson, in consultation with democratic congressional lead ers, approved a project contemplat ing the expenditure of approximately $26,000,000 to purchase ocean-going vessels to be operated under the direc tion of a government shipping hoard. Government insurance of Ameri can ships and cargoes against wur risks would lie provided for in a hill submitted to congress after it had been approved b v the president. The bill Was introduced in the senate by Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, and in the house by Representative Alexan der. It would create a temporary bu reau of war risk insurance in the treasury department and would ap propriate $5,000,000 for payment of losses and $100,000 to operate the bureau. To Create a Shipping Bonrd. Plans agreed on for the purchase by the government of ships include the creuting of a shipping board to com prise the president, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of com merce and the postmaster general. It is proposed U> use the ships principal ly m foreign trade and the udministru- tion hopes that great impetus will he given to trade between South and Central America. The present plan is to obtain money to carry out the projei by the sale of Panama canal bonus, it was de cided it might take some time for suf ficient ships to take advantage of the recently signed amendment to the Panama canal act, allowing foreign- buill ships to register under the American flag, and the necessity for moving the crops of the United St:\tes is so pressing that extraordinary steps wore decided on. It is planned to organize a company similar to the Panama Railway com pany, controlled by the government, for the actual operation of the shins after they have been purchased. The president conferred with Secre tary McAdoo, Senators Clarke and Simmons and Representatives Under wood and Alexander on the entire shipping question. The war risk in surance bill was approved at the meet ing. The president was told that it would he ulmost impossible to move exports unless the government step ped in and he finally consented to the scheme. Ships on the Market. No offers to sell ships to the gov ernment have been received, but it was the general understanding that owners of many vessels now tieo up in American ports will be glad to dis pose of them. Immediately after the conference work was begun on the proposed legis lation and senate and house leaders plan to bring about the completion of the movement ns quickly as possible. There already is pending before the house naval affairs committee a bill to appropriate $25,000,000 for the purchase or construction of a fleet of twenty vessels. Another bill of this character is pending in the senate naval affairs committee. Before the house naval affairs com mittee Rear Admiral R. M. West, chief of the bureau of construction of the navy department, discussed the type and size of vessels which would be useful as trading ships, and at the.

Gruce Murguret Gould, the well-known fashion editor, pres ents a great array of news and sug gestions which she introduces with the following general comment on the fall fashions: “Good friends, a change for the bet ter h«.s taken place in the fashion-.! “T.te American woman this fall will be permitted to wear c'.'llies that !;t i.u- f.gi re, and take real -Ups like a sensible humun being, a.i she has hon estly in her heart longed to do, ap pearances to the contrary notwith standing “Let me tell you just exuctly what iias happened! “The spineless woman has become a stutely creature. Thut tired feel ing has retired, and loose and care less has made way for lithe and cure ful. "The slouch lias retreuted, as it is the very nature of n slouch to re- treut, while the new style, trim und erect, hus marched in to victory. “Women ure to have backbones this season. They ure to have arms again, clearly defined ones, I mean. "Hips ure coming into their own. They are to be fashionable. "And the wuist line is to put in an uppearnnee again. The dear old waist line, which brings buck memories of the tight, prim basque, and the encir cling arms of uffectionate husbands. “But perhaps the best news of all l am keeping for the lust. Women are to walk, really walk, again I Little mincing steps and odd, curious jumps ure no longer the pitiful substitutes for walking. “Skirts are to be* wider. The slit has gone.

Washington.- The senate has adopt ed the Smith cotton warehousing bill, which provides for government licens ing of warehouses and the issuance of certificates which It is believed will be attractive security at banks, and en able farmers to bold their cotton. The bill was amended to Include In Us provisions, grain, tobacco, naval, stores und canned salmon. An attempt on the part of Henator Chilton, of West Virginia, to bring under Its provisions, peaches, apples and oil was defeated. Senator Smith agreed to the grain and tobacco amendments because he was assured It would be impossible to pass the bjll through the house unless this was done. It Is expected that the measure will bo amended In conference to provide that only "cotton and other agricultur al non-perishable articles” shall be within Its provisions. POPE 18 LAID TO RE8T same time would be available as aux iliaries to the navy. He said the ships should be from 10,000 to 12,000 tons displacement. He added that the navy needed twenty or thirty such ships fov use in emergencies. Krt>d Woods, president of the Mary land Steel compuny, said that twelve or fifteen auxiliaries of the type de scribed could be constructed in eight or nine months. Grain Tied Up at l’orts. Secretary McAduo made public figures on grain in port along the gulf coast and the Atlantic seaboard, showing that neurly 50,000,000 bushels either are in terminal elevators or in 1 transit and that few ships are loading. I In New Orleans he said there are 16,- 700,000 bushels, in Galveston 25,623,- 000 bushels, in Baltimore 3,600,000, in New York 939,000 and in Boston 641,- 000. Railroads have refused to accept further grain ^shipments to New Or leans and Galvefcton, and while at New Orleans six ships are loading grain, virtually none of the grain at Galveston is being touched. Even if all these millions of bushels of grain are disposed of the secretary thinks the situation will become acute again when the cotton crop is offered for shipment. P. A. S. Franklin, director of the International Merchantile Marine, came to Washington the other day to cosuit with the president and oth er government officials. Mr. Franklin proposed that the gov ernment provide means for the pur chase of available foreign-built ships, declaring the step imperatively neces sity, owing to the difficulty of rais ing capital necessary from private sources.—Atlanta Constitution. t Election of New Pope Confront* Cardi nals at Rome. Rome.—The entombment of the lute Pope Plus X took plnce at sunset. The great basilica of St. Peter's was In semi-darkness. A flickering light came from the perpetually burning ta pers about the shrine of the Apostles and the caifdloH In the chancel where the catafalque Btood. Those who witnessed the cefeuiony, numbering about one thousand, came by special invitation, anti included diplomatic representatives, accredit ed to the Holy Nee, the prelates and members of the Roman aristocracy. The procession formed In the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, where, for hours, the body of Pius X lay In state. The cutafulque was surmounted by the triple crown und the body of the pope was clad In the pout Ideal robes and surrounded by the emblems of his sa crod office. During the course of the day many thousands passed by the bier. The bier was removed and placed on a low platform on wheels. At the gates of the chapel the urch-pricHt of the basilica, in violet robes and sur rounded by the chapter, joined the procession.

The tomb of the late pontiff is on the right at the entrance to the sub terranean chapel, close to that of sev eral other popes.

Among other matters dealt with was the ques tion of the holding of the conclave for the election of the new pope. Two opinions, diametrically opposed, were offered. One was thut. owing to the perturbed condition of the world, the election must be hastened and that the conclave should begin lts work soon. The other advised deluylng the conclave that all the cardinals might reach Rome. IA Good Way to Keep Young In the September Woman’s Home Companion Ralph Waldo Trine, writ ing an article entitled "What Is Youth?—What After Youth?” writes in part as follows: "A very general rule with but few exceptions can be laid down as fol lows: The body ordinarily looks as old as’ the mind thinks and feels. “Shakespeare anticipated by many years the best psychology of the time's when he said. ‘It is the mind that makes the body rich.’ 'An eminent modern writer has given utterance to the same truth more fully and more helpfully, perhaps, in the following: ‘The prevailing state of mind, or character of thought, shapes the body and features. It makes us ugly or pleasing, attractive or repulsive to others. Our thought shapes our gestures, our mannerism, our wulk. Tile least movement of muscle has a mood of mind, a thought, behind it. A mind always determined, has al ways a determined walk. A mind al ways weak, shifting, vacillating and uncertain, makes a shuffling, shambl ing, uncertain gait. The spirit of de termination braces every muscle. It is the thought-element of determina tion filling every muscle If you send from you in thought the ele ments of worry, fret, hatred, or grief, you are putting in action forces in jurious to your mind and body Look at the discontented, gloomy, me lancholy, and ill-tempered men or wo men, and you see in their faces proofs of the action of this silent force of their unpleasant thought, cutting, carving, and shaping them to their present expression. Such people are never in good health, for that force acts on them as a poison, and creates some form of disease.’ ’’ Much In 8lmple Klee.
