PROHIBITION AND SHIPPING PROFITS.
AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE
SUNK WHEN LIQUOR ABOLISHED."
Mr. Albert Lasker, former chairman of the U.S. Shipping Board, blames the Pro- hibition law for the inability of American passenger liners to operate at a prost. The former chief of Government ship. ping, who says it cost him a fortune zo occupy that position, met the Leviathan recently when America's largest passenger
arrived at New York crowded with returning tourists, including his daughter, Miss Mary Lasker. Since the Leviathan was reconditioned after the war she been a steady drain upon the treasury resources, due both to the tremendous operating casts and to the bad luck which seems to have pursued the vessel. When Great Britain and the United States signed the treaty permitting British ships to bring liquors into American ports under ses another handicap was laid upon American passenger liners-or, 23. Mr. Lasker put it the American pas senger merchant marine was sunk when liquor was abolished." The American shipping expert said that Americans who travel abroad want all the conveniences and alcoholic beverages which are still considered a convenience here, although the American law forbids their sale on ships flying the Stars and Stripes. Pro- hibition is only one of many reasons why the American merchant marine does not pay, Mr. Laaker admitted, but it is the last straw. Mr. Lasker said, he was glad to see the Leviathan running again, and although she is a financial loss he would like to see many more Leviathani, bo cause he is confident that most people like to travel on the largest liners, and would book on a dry Leviathan rather than on a wet 'second-rater.

Valuable Qualities
Some things are valuable because they are rare, sir; others are valuable because they are good, but it doesn't follow that all good things are expensive.
Kensitas Cigarettes are as good as really good cigarettes can be, and they're certainly not expensive.
