The proposal may be forecast of an important development in transpor- tation. Since the use of the public highways for freighting and passenger service first began a few years ago the business has grown remarkably. The small bus has been succeeded by the large one, often transporting 20 to 25 passengers. The idea behind the six-wheeled truck is, of course, to permit of heavier loads, and to cut down man-power in operation. Just as the present raliroad cars evolved from small, four- wheeled carriers, the manufacturers of the six-wheeled motor car are carrying automotive transportation one step farther. “The great growth of motor bus transportation has brought problems to the railroad. The auto has forced abandonment of passenger service by railroads in many parts of the country. In others the railroads have resorted to the use of the motor bus in competition with other lines. There is, of course, one distinct advantage to the motor bus operator. He may use a public right-of-way. In the case “@f:s@me very expensive paved highways, he may use a road- “bed costing almost as much per mile as that of the railroad, and at very little cost. The growth of the motor bus transportation has brought Their business has been reduced. They point out that if the people.are to have railroad trans- ‘portation, each dollar of revenue taken from them by the motor bus must be made up by shippers of freight or pass- engers. It was this argument that led the late President Harding to sound a note against the building of a national “highway system to parallel railroads. Mr. Schwab, how- ever,.does not take kindly to this argument. The railroads, “he says, must make feeders out of the motor bus. “. In view of the constant changes in industry and in trans- nortation development, it would seem a rash statement to fay. that the saturation point in the automotive industry is in the immediate future. The capacity of the people to pro- vide‘highways may have an important bearing upon the future of this industry. Perhaps the auto driver in a large _eity- would tell you that the saturation point is near-at hand, and will come when the few remaining places to park are gone. THE ENDO DEFENSE Introducing the endocrinologist. The ordinary alienist, the paronoiaist, the temporary aberrationist and such will be among the also-rans, while the endocrinologist will carry the handicap in the Leopold-Loeb murder case. The endocrinclogist is a professional investigator of and profound believer in glands. You are a giant or a dwarf, fat or lean, active or lazy, moral or immoral, normal or pervert aceording to your glands and the way they function. One of your glands may be so abnormally developed and function so strenuously as to virtually relieve you of respon- sibility for will-power and, hence, make you unaccountable fox your acts. It is admitted that the young Chicago murderers are cbove the average of intelligence of youths of their age; that they had good homes, and good citizens as parents; that they had plenty of money; that they had not the slightest enmity toward the boy, Franks, whom they slew in cold blood. All the ordinary motives for crime were absent. “Thrill” wag their object, and glands are the seat of thrills. In other words, endocrinology will be called into diagnose the boys as diseased, not criminal. $ It seems to be a new line of defense for the “hanging” of juries, even if not of murderers. 90 The average farmer netted only $890 cash last year. This is the situation reported by Uncle Same after checking up over 16,000 farms operated by their owners. Also, dur- ing the year, they increased their inventories of machinery and so on an average of $130, Which gives them a total profit of $1020 for their year’s work, in addition to not! having to pay rent or for food and fuel grown for them- selves. “<This $1020 return was the yield on an average invest- Ament of $17,490 of capital and the labor for the farm heat) ** and his family. own financial record of 1923. } 4 1e9 be - WEST +-$tates west of the Mississippi have more college and| 4 <gmiversity students for each 1000 population than any other | ‘ Spart.of the country. | + The east later will be going to the west for its knowl-; Telige, the same as it now lags behind in strength, quick ae-| ion, straight thinking and ‘progressive politics. he course of civilization through the centuries is west- preard. : os re ; INDIANS : o «= Indians in the interior of Alaska are beginning to use £ boats instead of canoes.

LARGE DESIGNS It is pleasant to contemplate Mr. LaFollette in the honeymoon of his candidacy. He nourishes | sweet hopes. He sees aureate prospects of LaFollette extension. At first he was severely local.| He made Wisconsin _ his. He} spread a little to the westward. Now he aims to be national. Around so great a man a whole country must “rally.” This is his old dream which Col- onel ‘Roosevelt took a malicious | pleasure in interrupting. The Fadger tribune has long been sure that he, not the Colonel, was the | destined shephard of the “progres- sive” flock. Now the accepted time has come. : His sagacious friends assure him that his campaign is going to be more “formidable” @han Mr. Roosevelt's was in 1912. So his war map covers a wide sweep of; territory. The waves of the Pa- cific, tired of chanting the requiem of Hiram, are tossing the epithala- mium of the Wisconsin boss and the grand conglomerated radical party. Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis and Kansas City are to be blest with the sight and the speech of him. He is even to sound this coward and lascivious town his terrible approach. New York will be glad to see him. He is weleome to make what “inroads” he can into “the ene- my‘s country.” They may be smaller than his band of prophets Icoks for, but it has always ibeen delightful to hear his harmless thunder rolling around the towers of “the interests,” though these have long been exposed to the vi- brations and oscillations caused by our honored mayor. The headquarters and “regional beadquarters,” the chain of ‘LaFol- lette stores from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will cost a pretty pen- ny. “The people” will provide. In prescient preparation for this crowning act of his career he pro- posed the plan of a Senate com- mittee to sit during the campaign tc investigate campaign contribu- tions of every party having candi- dates for President, Vice-Pres- ident, presidential elector and the United States Senate. Senator Borah is chairman. The other members are Jones of Washington, Republican; Bayard and Caraway, Democrats. and Farmer-Labor:Shipstead of Minne- sota. To these inquisitors Mr. LaFol- . lettets financial department (will be asked to tell how much money he means to raise and spend to propagate the truth and what his plan is of raising the wind; what is to be “the limit,” if any, of his game; and if he will be willing to report to the committee every 10 days, beginning with September 1, “the amount of funds collected. the names of the contributors and their addresses, and what, if any, official position the contributor holds.” It will be interesting to watch the operations of Mr. LaFollette’s committee on appropriations un- der his scheme. Will he take money only from “the Pures”? In the days when his righteous- ness was inchoate or immature he didn’t scorn to accept donations*in blocks of $2,500 from Uncle Isaac Stephenson, that Republican “bloated bondholder.”” Now, in the full sunlight of prograndical- ism, the mites of “the people” will take the place of those unholy largesses of the Money Power. The total sum mentioned is $4,- 000,000—more than the Democrats had in 1920. But with the pros- pect of getting LaFollette in the White House, all patriots are counted upon to say: “Done for double the money.”—New York Times. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Did you find out anything?” ask- ed Mister Zip. “Did you find out why so many people are getting into Happy Go Lucky Park for nothing?” The Twins shook their heads, “Not yet,” said Nick. “ We went to see Mrs. Field Mouse in the base- ment of Maple Tree Flats, and she says she gives Flop money for tak- ing home washings. She says he spends it all coming to your park jand she doesn’t care, because she knows he is safe here.” | “All right,” said the fairyman. “Maybe you'd better go and see Mrs. Mole next.” “We were just going Nancy. So away went the Twins to Mrs. Mole’s house under the hazel bush. Mrs. Mole was at home and just doing up the lunch dishes, Tap, tap, tap! went. Nick on her to,” said : front door.

Who do you s’pose it is?” She put*¥on her’ specks (for she was very ‘near-sighted) and opcned the door, , “Howdy,-do!” she said when she saw Nancy and Nick. “How do you do,’ “Is Mikey at home? “No,” said Mrs. Mole, He's at Happy Go Lucky there nearly all the time since it opened.” “ Has he any money?” asked Nick. “Money!” exclaimed Mrs. Mole. “I should say so. Why, how could he get in without money, 1’d like to id the Twins. “He isn’t. know? The. worst of it is just be- cause he’s so big for his age, Mister Zip charges him full fare. And he’s younger than hi: ” cousin. ark. He's'|, “Its kind of you to let him go every day,” said Nancy. “Oh, I couldn't afford it,” said Mrs. Mole, “only my brother always sends Mikey a dollar on his birth- day. I keep it for him and give him 10 cents a day to spend. That's where he gets his money.” “Well, we will see him some time again,” said Nick. “Goodby!” So back to Happy Go Lucky Park went the Twins to tell Mister Zip that Mikey Mole got 10 cents a day to spend. i : | “Hopping rain toads!” exclaimed Mister Zip. “That's funny! I sort of thought—” ‘ Suddenly he stopped. . “How’ much money did you say Flop Field Mouse got every day?” “Ten cents for carrying’ washings,” said Nancy. ; “And how much money did you say Mikey Mole got?” “Ten cents out of his birthday money.” The fairyman pointed to two Aittle figures in front of the peanut stand, each buying a bag of peanuts. And each was carrying a brand new bal- loon. “Then tell me how .they have money left to spend, will you?” he. “That's right,” said Nick. “If each of them only has 10 cents to get. i how can they come every day and still have 10 cents to spend?” “There must be something wrong,” declared the fairyman. “We'll find out what it is,” said Nancy. “I wish you would,” said Mister Zip with a worried look... “If things keep on like this, I never, never, |mever will make my fortune.” (To Be Continued (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) any said eo ms Says A rushing business is always head- ed by a man who does the same.

In these times, stomach acidity is being. blanied for .most, such ‘con- ditions. And’ much’ of the blame ‘is being passed .to the, eating of too highly refined foods, with.too many sweets and not enough vegetables, whole wheat bread. Too much meat is also blamed by some. Now baking soda, when the condi: tion appears, is all’ right.

He always lives in water at a tempera- ture of 40 degrees—only 8 above freezing. : : The salmon trout—called, Namaycush, by the Indians—is | found in deep lakes all the way from New England to north- iermost Alaska. Usually he inhabits lakes that are the craters of extinct volcanoes, from 150 to 1000 or more feet deep. _ In the spring, after the ice goes out, the surface water is \cold and the salmon trout is found riding the top near shore. As the days and water get warmer, he gradually goes deeper. In August the Indians troll for him ata depth of 200 feet, using as much as six pounds of lead for sinkérs. Namaycush, progressively going deeper, follows the “‘40- degrees line.” His body is so constructed that he can live 1000 feet deep without being crushed by the pressure. A city man, toiling in a hot factory, store or office, has reason to sign with envy as he ponders the lot of the salmon trout. Physical comfort is not the only, important thing in life. But it’s a tremendous item. People couldn’t stand civilization. if it weren’t for artificial “conveniences.” Envy, too, the freedom of the salmon trout. Nothing to do but swim lazily in the cool waters, picking up minnows for food as needed? No working hours.’ No alarm clocks. No tax collectors. No propaganda. ~No boresome political campaigns. No tight shoes. No dirt and-dust. No . .-. Oh, what a life! While we’re,on the subject, how about the lucky. lot of the Indian who trolls for the salmon trout? Up yonder in the north, nothing to worry about except how to spend his pension. Game laws do not apply to him. The water is coot, the sighing breeze pure and fresh with the scent of growing things on shore. have. civilization. LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED I was silent for a moment, little Marquise. I could not accuse my own sister, neither could I let poor Karl be blamed for something I knew he, could not do. “But Jack, you must remember that Karl is now engaged to my sis- ter and the preparations for the wedding are all made—the invita- tions are out, everything—” “That is just it. Whitney has found he could not go through with it, consequently he sent me this letter.” “I do not, I can not believe it, Jack.” “Well, you will believe it when 1 take those damned beads and go over and twist them around his throat and choke the confession out of him.” T could see, little Marquise, that we were not getting anywhere, so I simply said: “Jack, do you realize that tomor- row night we're going to have a party in celebration of our third anniversary, and we are at this mo- ment in.the midst of the worst quar- rel we have ever had? “We've got to settle this thing some way, or at least call a truce until. after then.” Jack turned toward the window.
