Pride 
W ORTHINGTON 
is proud of this little 
engine, not because it rivals 
other internal combustion en¬ 
gines in size or magnificent 
proportions but because this 
engine represents the finest 
skill Worthington engineers 
could bring to bear upon the 
design of any machine. Own¬ 
ers seem to share this pride 
with Worthington.

SHIPPING NOTES 
Radio Newspaper for Scandinavian Line 
Preparations have been completed for pub¬ 
lishing a newspaper aboard all the ships of the 
Scandinavian American Line through the aid of 
the wireless telegraph. The paper will be printed 
in both Danish and English. The name is Radio 
Pressen and it will be in charge of Mr. Schrayh 
as editor, with Fritz Laprecht as business mana¬ 
ger. A handsome cover for the paper, which will 
be of about twenty pages, has been drawn by 
Svend Henriksen. 
Sweden's Growing Merchant Fleet 
During the month of June the Swedish merchant 
fleet was increased by twenty-one craft, totalling 
15,000 gross tons. Nine of these were steamers 
and twelve were small motor-boats. 
Norwegian Ship Contracts Before Hague Court 
The controversy between the Christiania ship¬ 
ping group and the American Government came 
before The Hague Court in the latter part of 
July. The amount in question is $15,000,000, and 
Chandler P. Anderson of New York appears for 
the United States, while Minister Vogt of Lon¬ 
don represents Norway’s interests. A decision 
is expected in December. 
Plans for Bridge Across the Little Belt 
As soon as the economic conditions permit it, 
construction of the bridge over the Little Belt, 
separating Fuen and Jutland, will be undertaken. 
While some time ago the cost of the bridge was 
placed at 50,000,000 kroner, reduced wages in the 
various industries concerned is expected to make 
it much less than at first considered. 
History of Stavanger Shipping 
After gathering material for a history of Stav¬ 
anger’s shipping during the past 300 years, M. L. 
Michaelsen, the well known technical expert, has 
entered upon his big task, and this will include the 
record of every ship with Stavanger as its home 
port. Mr. Michaelsen spent ten years getting 
together his facts. This will be the first work of 
its kind ever published in Norway. 
Ship-building in American Yards 
American shipyards were building under con¬ 
tract for private owners on March 1, 136 steel 
vessels of 197,011 tons, compared w r ith 134 ships of 
the same kind of 22,559 tons on February 1. These 
figures do not include Government ships or ships 
being built or contracted for by the United States 
Shipping Board. 
Shipping More Active in Finnish Ports 
During the first quarter of 1922 there arrived in 
Finnish ports 185 ships, having a total registered 
tonnage o£ 121,073 tons. More than a third of 
these ships brought cargo from German ports. 
During the same period, 193 ships left Finland with 
cargo.
