MANY VESSELS STILL ARE IDLE | Recent Visitor to Important Ports Found That Only Tankers Are in Demand, I RIGID ECONOMY IS NECESSARY Prospect* of Revival In Trade Are Reasonably Favorable ? Crews on American Freighter* and Oil Tanks Are Weil Fed. New York.? Worldwide retrench went lias affected uo class of the in dustrial community more than the men (and women) who "go down to the sea In ships." Ships have heen laid up In every Important port I have 'Visited, from United States of Amer ica to Britain, Holland, Belgium, Bgypt, New Zealand, Australia and even South Africa, where the Durban whalers seemed to he compelled to take a rent. "Business as usual" has only appeared, to he available to the oil tanks, and at Tampico quite re cently I have known a vessel to wait much over a week before being able to take oil aboard. It Is quite clear that those who di rect the destinies of the world's ex change of commodities have reulUcd the, pressing need for "peace, retrench ment and reform," and the curtailment of the wages of seamen, mastersat amiN, quartermasters, engineers, oil ers. water tenders, wipers, trimmers, stewards, cooks, and assistant stew ards Is only a symptom of worldwide necessity. When war broke out $20 a month for an able, seaman and $17 a month for an assistant steward would lie considered acceptable. Before the war terminated, with the signing of the armistice, stewards had in Britain a most active leader In Joe Cotter, and his efforts on their behalf led to the assistant stewards receiving ?11 per* month from the shipping compa nies and ?3 as a bonus from the Brit ish government, roughly $00 per mdnth, while in the United States mossmen obtained $70 per month, add ed to which they were Paid $1.50 a day while In port, In the shape of overtime? that Is, on days other than those associated with arrival and de parture. Held Up for Day*. r% At that time every available vessel was in requisition, and barges were more valuable than battleships. I have known ships held up for days because they could not obtain barges for their cargoes. Iu 1915 Great Brit ain owned 8,675 vessels of 10,235,705 tons, and had In 1920 so far recovered from her stupendous war losses to possess vessels of 18,111, 000 tons. In 1914 she employed 295,053 seamen of various grades, thousands of them be ing Lascars and various Asiatics, Ger mans, Swedes, Norwegians and Bus slnns. What they total today" none can compute. In addition to the actual monetary reward general conditions have im proved to a surprising degree, in con formity with recognition of the brav ery displayed by all seamen working on allied vessels dwing the war. Some years ago I traveled to South Africa on a boat belonging - to the l.'nlon Company of Britain, and during the greater part of the trip we were compelled to drink condensed sea water, while fresh bread twice per week was regarded as a luxury. Sail ors fared as best I hey could on salt beef or pork and hard biscuit. The introduction of ret'rigerat ini; plants has altered that, and, sympathizing with the seamen, the British hoard of trade evolved a compulsory sched ule of foods. This was in operation for some time after war had been de dared. Americans Liberal. The .-hipping board and American shipowners generally base been ex tremely liberal in their treatment of their sailors, and 1 have seen on an oil tank of tln> United States petty officers, seamen, firemen and wipers sit dow n to disheff of as iro?>d quality and as well cooked (if not so well served) as could be obtained in a first ctnss hotel in New Yerk. ?? Subordinate hands on American freighters and o.l tanks are better fed, in the main, than these on liners crossing the AtlaTdic and going from Britain to distant ports, wh.le in most cases accommodation is much supe rior oil the former elapses of \ ossels.

First <?f all. the butter should be well made of good texture to insure good keeping qualities, should contain no cloudy or milky brine. Then it should be wrapped in a good quality parch ment paper. The 'quality .of the paper is an important factor in making ? marketable product. If the paper i.s of strong enough texture to stand the wear and tear. If it sticks to the but ter it is hard to get off and makes n very unsatisfactory product. No one wants to have to peel it off and stil! no one would want it left on. After the butter is wrapped in. good parch ment paiper it should be enclosed in a paraffined coated carton. This will keep the butter in shape, protect it from exposure to dirt and makes it easily ? Imndled. If butter Is to bu shipped the postal requirments should be complied with. 'IMie butter should next be packed in a tin or corrugated box. The parrafined coated carton does not take the place of this. Un less 'butter Is '.packed in this way for shipping it will not be a safe package for mailing and will certainly not 'be in attractive condition when received .Special containers may- now be ob tained. These come in 1-2 pound, one pound, and 5 pound sizes and are heavily coaled with Paraffin and have air-tight seal. The- cottage cheese should be well drained and of good smooth texture. When packed in pro per 'containers make a product that can be as easily marketed as butter. There is a demand for eottag?? cheese in small quantities. It is necessary, however, to use a suitable coutiliner or the .marketing <?f it \\ .1 ii"t 'prove s;i t isfactory.
