PATERNAL ADVICE

Mr. James floss Mellon, Mr. Andrew "Mellon's 89-year-old bro ther who has just died, had the Mellon genius for making money. | This gift was developed in him early by his father.

Like all the seven sons of old Judge Mellon, he was subjected to lectures and letters from his father on thrift and industry.

When in 1863 James Ross went to Milwaukee the judge bombarded him with good" advice.

Changes In Royal Mail Steamers

The Royal Mail Lines' steamer Asturias has arrived at South- ampton after extensive alterations

at Belfast which have occupied • several months.

She is now a turbine ship, and she came alongside it was noticed that ahe Bad lengthened funnels. Changes in her engines have been made with a view to producing greater speed.

The Alcantara will undergo ilar alterations at the con- clusion of her present voyage, and will be at Belfast for the larger part of the winter.

The new speed aimed at in the Asturias is just under 19.knots. and this was more than achieved during her trials. The ship has been lengthened by some 12 ft. and many other improvemerits have been carried out..

NEW SERVICE

The vessel will make her first. voyage under steam when she October leares Southampton on 10 for South America, Her second

trip also will be on the mail and passenger run, and then she will undertake a cruise.

The new service of the Royal Mail Lines to South America will come into operation next April, when the Alcantara, back from her alterations at Belfast, will join the Asturias on the run to South America, with the Alman-. zora and the Arlanza as slightly slower units in the service, which will be fortnightly from South- ampton.

The two re-engined ships are expected to save seven or eight days on the round trip to Buenos Aires.
