It is not efficfent to run our great national railroa-| system as if it were a lot of, little individually-owned private systems, each competing instead of cooperat ing. with the other. When the government had the roads they were run as a single system, one big cooperating harmonjous unit. The cars were pooled, the engines. were pooled, labor was pooled’ (if neces- sary) and. the chief purpose aimed at, was service. Freight was sent by the most direct route—no matter who owned the route. Freight went through. It was not stopped ,at every divisional line and unloaded and. loaded on another train. The pooling of the cars alone, accord- ing to Director Hines, was equal to adding 300,000 cars to the Equipment. The rerouting of freight was equal to cutting off tens of thousands of ton- miles—unnecessary ton-miles. But turning back the roads to pri- vate hands has set each road clamor- ing for its own box cars,‘and set the engines hauling them home—empty. It has set each road routing freight over its own system—so that it may “earn the freight”’—even when that routing.is the long and not the short route. It has brought back the old-time notions of how a railroad should be run. So the result {8 congestion, ‘em- bargoes, tie-ups, car famine and hope- less inefficiency. And to aggravate the situation, Con- gress put a prémiuth on the creation of this state-of affairs by adding to the railroad. law.a provision that the government would make up any deficit created during the first six’months of private control. So the. deficit this month is double that of’ last month, and each succeeding: month promises a bigger one. Why should the privat: presidents worry? It is like the “cost plus” system. The more money you ! FRECKLES AND HIS FREE i [y, Mke This JOB we Tr Wkene:- A ry oe spend and, the longer you take, the more you make. That is the genius of the “cost plus” discovery. - H (@) NATIVES OF SOUTT SEA ISLANDS TAKE ¢ SEA MONSTERS. AND CRABS. ¢ South sea islanders are adept § et.

How East Indians Catch Fish, The fisheries ot India scarcely differ from those of China, the deep-sea work done by the natives being prac. tically confined. to the Pearl oyster. | But a river fish greatly sought after by | native anglers ts the tupsee, or bartah known hy Europeans as the mango fish, from tes yellowish color. It ts not unltke-our: pereW-and. always com- mands a high price, partly on account of _Its toothsomeness, but especially because its air bladder yields tsin- glass, In the Ceylon rivers, too, we find the peasantry still clinging to the wading method, aliaost identical with that practiced by the Chinese; the fisher: man, finding his cateh with his bare feet, runs about three-quarters of the length of the trap and narrows gradually. Bait ts placed he- yond ‘Its end, the fish swimming {In and passing out of the circu- lar tube into the larger confines of the trap. The ‘crab trap used by the Solomon islanders consists of a small’ net, Inside which is placed a medium sized clam shell, which is lowered to the bottom of the lagoon, opening automuat- ically as It strikes the botttm. When a crab enters the net, the mouth of which is kept open by the extended shell, the watch- ing. fisherman, pulls on the string, thereby closing the shell with ‘the crab in it. eee reCerrrrrirry How Moon Is Brought Nearer.

The good people of Beeston St. Lawrence are not- cannibals, and with the legendary lore of that part of England it must be explained that this pirate was a monster pike which terrorized the waters of the lake In Beestone for upward of thirty years. The pike. which had the reputation of being the most artful fish m the world, earned the name of “the pirate” because of his predatory raids on fish- ermen’s lines whenever they hooked anything. Anglers came from miles around to try and catch the freebooter, but the fish “was too clever for the most expert piscator. According to stories told over mugs of ale at the village inn the “pirate” wa hooked only once, and in a vicious rage he broke the Hne and escaped. Yet the honor of catching him goes to ‘a young ex-soldier who had been plke fishing on:y four times in his life. The. night of the capture they held f& puessing contest in the village as to the actual weight of the “pirate,” the prize heing the fish Itself. °He weighed 26 pounds 1 ounce, measured five feet and had a girth of two feet.

She was pretty, which was good, and also, he believed, an heiress, which was better. “Are you not afraid that some one wil] marry you for your money?” he asked gently. “Oh, dear, no!” smiled the girl. “Such an idea never entered my head!" “Ah, Miss Liscombe,” he sighed, “in your sweet innocence you do not dream how coldly, some men are!" “Perhaps I don't,” replied the girl calmly, “T would not for a moment have such a terrible fate befall you!” he said passionately. “You are too good, too beautiful. The man who wins you should love you for yourself alone,” “He'll have to,” the girl remarked. “It's my cousin Jennie who has the money—not I. You seem to have got me mixed.

A picturesque story of the war comes from Warsaw, where all the cats had disappeared. One went about the city and saw never a cat. So completely had the cats vanished that when the Red Cross warchonse, just outside ot Warsaw, became overrun with rats and mice, to the serious. damage of food and clothing stored in. it, almost every other expedient was thought of and tried before it occurred to anybody that perhaps there might be a cat or two still left somewhere in the com munity. , Then some official of the warehouse mentioned to a Poltsh workman that ff a cat could he found the animal would be a great help in protecting the Red Cross property; and from here, there and everywhere came the wives of the citizens and the citizens themselves, each carefully bearing a treasured cat. As the story goes, there seemed to be as many cats offered for duty in the Red Cross warehouse ns there were rats and mice at work tn It. The emergency had overcome the unwillingness of the people to admit that they were guard. ing thelr pets, and after a guardian had been chosen for the warehouse the cats again disappeared from: War. saw. —_—__—.

His First Pay in 15 Years, A man who spoke with a pro nounced Swedish accent appeared at the income tax office at St. Louis anc exhibited two new leather cases whict contained $9,000 In travelers’ checks He said that he had just had his only pay day in fifteen years and ha¢ heard that an income tax was due.

When last: month he decided to ge to South America to become a rancher in his own name, his employer accom panied him to town and bought the checks for him.

We are living today In the age of specialists in almost all nes and un- less the young man who goes out to searn his own living is definitely train- ed in some one line, his chances of ad- vancement are negligible. It is true that he can earn good wages at the outset and can hope fer a few ad- vancements, but unless he fits himself by training, experience and study for something bigger he will soon find he js;in a blind alley job. ~ A boy does not always realize this: school life becomes humdrum to the lad bubbling over with fun and energy, and for him to sit on a bench with a book In his. hands, studying what seems to be uninteresting facts, {m- presses him as a real hardship when he longs to be out in the world taking a place among comrades who have proved themselves independent. This fs the place where the guiding hand of the parent is necessary. The boy must be made to understand that the training he is receiving now is sharpening him for future opportun- ities. He is Itkely to be reasonable if his parents have retained his con- fidence, and If they can show him that in dollars and cents he will be the gainer by continuing tn school.—Em- ma Gary Wallace, in Christian Herald, Coastal Defense of China.

A coast defense commissioner will be appotnted for each section, and he will, be held re- sponsible for the maintenance of peace and order in his own section.
