continued from page 6 slon of a recent winter holiday over 300000 americans enjoyed skiing over the winter snows of our northern states today basketball is the game most americans like to watch for approxl mately eighty million tickets to bas ketball games are sold in this country every year baseball comes next with some fifty million rooters while foot ball boxing horfie racing wrestling and hockey follow in that order and next in line judging by the nun ber of paid admissions comes a new sport which has begun to reach tre mendous proportions soft ball it has been estimated that today there are two hundred thousand soft ball teams in the united states sport is one of our greatest in dustries for each year sporting goods and equipment used for recreation valued at more than five hundred million dollars are sold labor saving machinery and the everincreasing skill of american wor kers have made it possible for more work to be accomplished in a shorter length of time thus we are all not only finding more time to play but we are learning that greater atten tion given to sport and recreation is making us altogether a healthier and happier ration barbecue is derived from the french phrase barbe a queue meaning beard to tall since pn are roa sted whole at a barbecue the term may come from the fact that the anl mal is used from beard to tall wood for sale choice dry

steamers and motor ships of 100 tons and upwards regis tered under the british flag at the be ginning of this year no fewer than 4247 arejfjeae than 2 000 tons many of these are vessels of the coasting type or those usd in normal times for the shorter voyages to the continent britain s larger ports specialise tn the import and export of certain oom- oditles carried by oceangoing steamers from and to the uttermost parts of the world but the smaller coastal ports used by mall vessels play a most im portant part in what may be termed the secerdary distribution of britain tho coastal vessels collect cargoes at tbe greater ports and distribute them to many smaller ones in great britain where no part of the country is at any great distance from the tea a large part of the population can be supplied through one port or another involving only a short haul by either rail or road the coasting trade is en tirely responsible for the low rates ex isting between port and port and from and to towns within a considerable ra dlus of those ports even in time ot war much british coasting trade still continues to run one may instance tbe distribution of coal from the coalproducing districts and of the huge quantities of food and other materials from the terminal ports where it is landed from overseas british coastwise trade lessens the burden oh britain s hardworked railways and diminishes the inevitable delays of sorting and shunting one comparatively small slip will carry the good that could only be handled by a fleet of lorries using imported petrol for the carriage of goods in bulk and in spite of german aircraft submar ines and mines the distribution by sea over a considerable area is still swif ter and more economical than by road or rail the debt that britain owes to the merchant navy and to those who man it is generally recognised what is not so often realised is the great percen tage of the british merchant navy that is made up in the little ships ply ing between the various smaller ports of great britain their names like those of the tramps which ply further afield are not known like those of the liners which carry passengers british coastwise seamen are now enduring the full fury of the german aircraft attacks on channel and east coast convoys these are the men in the ships rounding what is popularly known as hellfire corner who dal ly risk being bombed machinegunned or perhaps mined protected by the royal navy and the royal air force they carry on un perturbed taking the risks of war merely aa additional hazards to the ordinary risks of peace they i not trained to the use of weapons or for the rigors of battle skilful rugged unflimliing stolid and perhaps a little unimaginative british coastwise seamen enjoy none of the glamour of publicity or tbe glo ry of ribbons and gold laced uniforms one cannot distlngusih them mho re except perhaps by the silver badge with the naval crown and tbe letters mn merchant navy worn in thelr buttonholes they are simple men car rying on their normal peacetime jobs in the midst of frightfulness of tbe fiercest war that britain has ever they are also carrying on a great tradition that of the elizabethan sea men who sailed from every little port in england when in 1588 the arma da sailed upchannel and britain was threatened with invasion by the duke of parma army in flanders
