May 4.—A new fig-' re is rising in the shipping world— ; Viiliam Avercll Harriman. son of; hp great railroad king, the late K i. Harriman. With a heritage of brains and th' :enius for organization that was he ather's greatest asset. Harriman is ailing the leadership in building a’; imerican merchant marine. "It is a great constructive work.” ie said, in describing for NEA Ser ice his ambitions for American hipping. "We are doing pioneer i rork.” Harriman is only thirty, yet in flee : ears he has become a power in j hipbuilding and ship operation. Start an Accident "I got into the shipping busines ly accident." he said. "And I'm iceping at it." That is l)is modest way of saving t was his keen foresight of the need O’- ships that impelled him to go I nto shipbuilding on a big scale two | nonths before America entered the i ,ar. It was this "accident” of guess- j ng right, and foreseeing the needs f >f the nation, that put him into ship 'Ing. "I am a believer in the United States merchant marine," he said. When such a necessity as this ajmes a necessity for developing our sport trade and building a naval ' luxiiiary that is a national asset. 11 cel that ways and means will be ound to make a merchant marine ] l success." Eyes like Father's Harriman. w ho is tall, slender and proad shouldered, with a wide Arm mouth, dark -brown hair bruslic 1 itraight back, and dark face ami pyes like his father, sits at a desk in in office overlooking lower Broad vay and talks in a grave, serious vay—about ships; he dislikes talk ng of himself. He didn't say—though shipping nen say so—that he had started out o bring into realization one of the ittle known dreams of the late rail oad king. A dream of the late L. -I., when he died in 1909. was an Imerican merchant marine. There are 32 ships of approxi- i nalely 24U.000 gross tons in the fleet i iperated by the United Americanj nnes. They are owned by the Anter-; can Ship and Commerce Corpora-, ion and the American-Hawaiiai j Steamship Company and their sub sidiaries. Harriman is chairman of he boards of these companies, an-1 tis interests also include shipbuila ng companies, steel foundry and j nachine companies, and a banking ] louse.

Originally schooled in railroading rom the ground up. beginning im ncdiately after leaving Yale. Harri man has since learned the shipping pusiness from the bottom. He is married and has two daughters. At pis home in Arden, N. Y., he farms pn a large scale. Harriman is upholding his father's • I like work.” he says, “I cannot J s<*e hew anyone could prefer to he ^ idle. Iam doing the thing which I believe is The best and the most im portant thing 1 can do for the in tenets of America. An A meric®® merchant marine means much to ^ the nation ” HOME BREW NOW IS ON THE SKIDS \ — —1] Bt XEA Sente* WASHINGTON — Home brew is M on the skid*. That is the conclusion cf govern ment authorities drawn from the latest reports of the Department ef !. Agriculture covering the declining demand and price for raisins. How the Juicy grape has shrunk whether desired in its natural state for wines or in its dried condition * for putting kick into home brew, is shown by the following figure*, which represent the values of grapes and grape products on the farms for the last three ytars: 1919 . «10d,50a.MM I901I . 1115.000.000 1901 . (IS.500 ,<KM* "Cheaper raisins were an impor tant factor in this drop lor 1921." says the departmental announce ment. Back of cheaper raisins, prohibi tion authorities state, is the decline J in home brew activities. "The average home brew artist found it was too much fuss for a 3 little firewater.” it was explained ' They produced more good head aches than good booze. •'To get a good article required too much time and attention, and it didn't, take the aspiring but perspir ing brewmaster long to get weary of cleaning up the mess he w.ts sure to make.” ’ The result was that the grape* going into raisins and grape juice last year were worth $39 000.000 as against more than $60,000,000 in 1920. Raisin porducers are fighting hard to stimulate general use of their product by housewives to offset the loss of demand for home brew op erations.
