nativity in the sugar-beet industry in
tills country is foreshadowed by the
reecnt record-breaking lin jiai'ts of fiii
Br beet seeds. Figures inado public
by Hie bureau or Coreijin and doniestie
comnierie. of tlie department of com
merce, indb-ate tliat for the !) months
ending Septeiulier 30, UUti, the Im
ports of seed readied a total of IS;.'
million pounds, which is a milion
pounds more than were imported dur
ing the complete calendar years 1913
and 1914, and nearly double lliose for
the full year 1&12.
Iiefore the war tlerniany was the
chief source of suar-beet seeds, but
the trade is now in the hands of the
Kussians. In the fiscal year 1 111 1 (ier
niany supplied nearly II million
pounds of a total of 10!4 million
Poiiiu1k, the remainder coming chlef
ly from Austria-Hungary, Russia and
Holland. In the fiscal year 1!1 ii Rus
sia supplied i.NNl,9-i(i pounds out of
a total of !, 42, 4fl0 pounds. Imports
of beet seed into the t'nited Slates
for the calendar years 19 11 to JIHG
were as follows:

UNITED STATES
FREE INSURANCE
MOW YORK, Nov. 1. l'redic
tlons or a 'splendid'' American mer
chant marine as a result of the world
war, the federal reserve act and ship
ping legislation, were n.iule here to
day by Stevenson Taylor, president of
the society of naval architects and
marine engineers, In a speei h mark
ing the opening of tho L'.'nh annual
nteefing of tho organization.
The United Stales, lie said, was
making rapid slrldes In shipbuilding.
Whereas between 1910 and 191 I this
country produced only 9 1-4 per cent
of 233,000 tons as ngalnst Great Brit
ain's 00 per cent of the average an
nual world's production of 2,740.000
tons. .Mr. Taylor declared, Croat Ilrit
ain in 1918 will produce 2,200,000
tons and the United Slates sun, out)
Ions, an increase of 1 I per cent for
Great llritain and about 3 per cent
for the United States over the figures
for 191.1.
The normal tonnage of the world,
.10,000,000. has been sadly depleted
by the war, says .lr. Taylor, due to
tlie destruction or .1,000,000 tons, the
Interning" of l loo.ooim and the com
mandeering of 1 2,000,000 tons, leav
ing available lor service 2 S, (1 00,000
tons, or ,17.2 per (rent of the normal
lounage. This reduction was re
sponsible for the high marine freight
rates.
American shipyards, Hie speaker
said, are building I. .100,000 tons of
steel ships and 50,000 tons of wooden
vessels to bo completed within two
years. One third of them are for for
eign nations. To September last, he
said, 190 foreign built ships with a
tonnage of 047. S I 2 were admitted to
American registry.
In Hue with modem efforts toward
welfare iu working conditions, one
progre.ssive manufacturer in San
Francisco lias recently Inaugurated u
dnn of insuring the lives of itn em
ployes, free of any charge to them.
Under this plan, each employe of
tho company is asked to designate in
writing the person or persons lie or
fIio wishes to become beneficiary in
the event of death. To such benefic
iary, this company has agreed to pay
the sum of $500 in tlie event of the
death of the employe.
The plan has received the hearty
approval of the large corps of factory
workers, office employes and traleB
inpii employed by the company.
Especially In the case of factory wor
kers the insurance has been' greatly
appreciated, as it often happens that
they are not in position to provide
for those dependent upon them in
fiise of their deal h.
A glance at the list of beneficiaries
designated is interesting from the
point of appreciation of this insur
ance. For example, one woman has
requested that the ?-",iM) be distribut
ed amongst her seven children.
Doubtless, she feels that at lea:;t she
has now some small protection for
those dear to her in case their support
is withdrawn by reason of her death.
The John 1 toll man company who
have established this nw scheme, are
large manufacturers of cigarettes in
San Francisco. This is in line with
the many other favorable working
conditions for those employed by
them tliat they have embodied into
their new and modern phint.
A trip through this modern factory
with its spotless tile walls, its light,
cheerful working floors, rest robins,
shower baths and restaurant, facilities
Is an education along industrial wel
fare lines.
CiUCA(;Of Nov. 16. Women are
failures as clerks and judges of elec
tion, according to a statement today
by Frank D. Ay run, assistant uorjkKi ra
tion counsel, who is aiding in super
vising the canvass of the recent elec
tion. The county, ho said, will be
obliged to spend several hundred dol
lars to ..untangle uiixups caused by
women officials.
"The women who were called be
fore the election board probably could
remember how other women judges
or clerks were dressed, but they ut
terly failed to remember what they
had written on tally sheets, even
'.hough given their sheets to refresh
their memory." Avers said.
