Question Arises Whether Oil
Burners Come Under Pro
visions of New Law
WASHINGTON. Oct 20 -A new tnngto
of tho seaman's taw developed today. It
Involves the question whether ships
driven by oll-burnlng motors nro subject
to Its provisions.
The Department of Commerce, In a
recent communication to W R Grace
nnd Company of New York, said the
navigation laws of tho United States In
cluding the2seaman's act, do not apply to
motor vessels The seaman's law refers
constantly to "fcteamers" and makes no
mention of motorshlps.
Thero nro nbout 50 ships of from 5000 to
7000 tons owned In this country driven
by oil-burning motors. Shipping men
here say these ships cannot bo h-ld to
tho terms of the seaman's taw. It Is ex
pected a ruling by the Attorney General
will bo required to settle the matter.
Tho Department of Commerce today
sent a circular letter to customs collectors
Informing them that thev did not have
to conduct language tests, as provided
under section 13 of the seaman's law.
Tho statement of the master that the
crew came up to requirements would be
sufficient, it was said.

Magnitude
Each edition of the
Butterick magazines weighs
850 tons. The cost of post
age each month amounts to
more than $13,000.
One month's edition of
these magazines piled one
copy on another would make
a stack 14,410 feet high,
equal to the altitude of Mt.
Rainier.
The total amount of paper
used in a year by the
Butterick Company is equal
to seven times the area of
Manhattan Island. It is
twice the size of the District
of Columbia. It is equal to
the combined areas of St.
Louis, Boston and Baltimore.
Reel this paper out in a
strip one foot wide and it
would encircle the world
thirty times or three times
the distance from the earth
to the moon.
A single copy of a
Butterick publication can
not possibly indicate the size
and scope of the Butterick
business, because the human
mind can not grasp such a
multiplication of units. It
is probable that even experi
enced advertisers do not
realize the mighty force
which is working for them.

Hello

Here's a Columbia Record you
can fox-trot to, all night long!
A LIVELY, cheery excerpt from that merry mc
lonrrP "Tk TTIKc lOIS" "U11 T7o '
1HWW, JLllb JL U111V.O Ut AXAw , J.1V.1IU 1 113V.U
has soared to greater heights of popularity than
any other product of musical New York's big Sum
mer Frolic.
Deliciously attractive it was in "The Follies".
But as an irresistible fox-trot, it has tripped the
toes of the dancing populace, flashing its electric
appeal through the bands and orchestras of the
entire country.
In the recording of dance music, as well as
vocal and instrumental selections, the Columbia
process is supreme 1 Here; Prince's Band has again
caught the spirit of youth and jollity and "pep".
The record passes all this on to you, perfect in
tone, time and rhythm.

on the other sfce
another fox trot
Irving Berlin's latest hit.
And this, too, makes its biggest appeal in the
form of a fox-trot. Therefore, the Columbia Com
pany have again elected Prince's Band to play it
in just the way you would like to hear it. This is
a happy coupling of popular numbers, a 12-inch
double disc, A5715, at $1.00. You certainly ought
to have it !

dances; the charm cf the "Marimba", the musi
cal sensation of the Exposition nearly a hun
dred attractions that you will enthuse over,

big, new November Supplement. Take some of
the records home with you. Any dealer will
gladly play the rest of them for you, any time.
Yes, they play on your machine
