SHIPPING FREIGHTS,

The annual report of the Chamber of Shipping, the issue of which was delayed by the General Strike, is now published. Since the cost of transport and distribu- tion of food and other essential commodi ties has recently attracted attention, it is stated that goods are in many cases. being carried by sea at pre-war prices, in apite of the fact that most of the elements entering into the cost of running and working ships-wages, stores, cost of running and working ships wages, stores, cost of handling goods in port, and to It was Marry Wilson who had pleaded forth have increased by from 90 per cent. guilty.

It is a regrettable fact that.éels, when stewed and consumed at fresco, appear to have a bad effect on the, consumer's norals. Eels, it would appear, nourish the fighting spirit that has made us Britons what we think we are. Take the case of the Pages and Mr. Wenham at West London Police Court. Mrs. Page explained that, after a diet af stewed cels, eaten on the pavement, she and Mr. Page had given battle to another couple.

Mr. Page confined his remarks to the word "Guilty" lugubriously uttered.

When the battle was at its height-a pretty considerable height, too, judging by Mrs. Page's. polychromatic face-a policeman arrived and took the Page family under his care. He was gallantly escorting Mrs. Page towards the police station when Mr. Wenham appeared.

The sight of Mrs. Page accompanied by-a-policeman-in an official capacity was too much for Mr. Wenham, who, I think, must pride himself on being a squire of dames and rescuer of distressed damsels.
