(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Common Sense Suggestion by Leo J. Flynn, exam- iner for the Interstate Commerce commission, that the entire trans- { portation scheme of the country be revised to permit railroad participa- , Yon in highway transportation and ‘ that other shackles placed on the + railroad industry be struck off or lightened to meet modern needs, 1s full of common sense. It presents a thought which many of us have been thinking for a long time. The difference between our think- ing it and Flynn saying it, however, is considerable. We have based our ideas on prejudices or opinions which reflect our own environment. Flynn's * presentation is based on thorough in- vestigation and study and upon ‘%s- certainable facts. The difference in method by which we arrive at the same goal is important because this; employe of the I. C. C. probably ee be able to sustain his judgmeni by) » hard facts and cold figures. « Here is what he says, in part: “The national transportation machine cannot function with progressive efficiency part reg- ulated, part unregulated; coor- dination of transportation agen- | cies cannot reach its economic | possibilitics ‘under this anomalous | condition. | “Railroads no longer have a virtual monopoly of transporta- tion, and regulatory laws based on that theory should be revised in the light of changed condi- tions affecting transportation and distribution since 1920. “Carriers subject to the Inter- state Commerce act should be specifically authorized by law to engage in interstate commerce by motor vehicles on the public highways and such motor vehicle Qperations should be subject to the provisions of the Interstate Commerce act. “Railways and water lines | should supplement their trans- i Portation services by using motor ‘vehicle transportation in coor- dination with their rail or water services wherever this will result in economies of operation or bet- terment of service, or both. “Control of motor vehicle oper- ations by carriers now subject to the act through subsidiary or affiliated or holding companies, or in any other manner, should be brought under the supervision of the commission. “Modification of the Clayton anti-trust act, to the extent that carriers now subject to that act be permitted to acquire motor vehicle lines already in operation * wherever such action is in the interest of economy and effici- | ency of operation and not ad- | verse to the public interest, | should be provided for in any legislation for the regulation of motor vehicles engaged in inter- state commerce.” | There was a lot more in similar! vein to the extent of 130 typewritten Pages, but it all boils down to the thought that the public interest can best be served by promoting, rather than hindering, progress. Antiquated and outmoded practices ‘and ideals should be discarded 9s rapidly as possible. New services or combinations of services should be ‘encouraged where public convenience f economy demand them. The ulti- mate effect of such an attitude is bound to be beneficial.

The fact that the ship draws only two feet of water, making it available for use in comparatively shallow streams, also is important. With boats of this kind available, the Missouri may again become an important artery of commerce and this with relatively inexpensive chan nelization work. Bismarck may again become an important port and a ccn- ter in North Dakota for a cheaper means of transportation. *Twas Ever Thus News from Cairo, Ill., that Randi Lerohl, Wisconsin woman who start- ed on a trip down the Mississippi | river, had abandoned her project at the half-way mark, need occasion nu surprise. Boatmen on the upper river, it will be remembered, had tried to dissuade) her from continuing her unusual journey but had failed. A bold spirit and a free one, she wanted no as-} sistance. But with the journey half over she yielded to pleas that she “be cen- sible.” was tired. i Life does that to a lot of us. ‘We dream great dreams and begin fine projects filled with high purpose and firm resolve. But very often we weaken. As the going gets harder the goal always seems farther away; ‘our dreams, it seems, cannot be real- ized. The fine spirit fades. We grow tired. And so we quit. We will never know what the world has missed in the way of achievo- ment because the vicissitudes of time dulled Keen spirits; because high re- solve faded into indifference; be- cause ambition was satisfied with just a hint of achievement; or be- cause faith was not strong enough to defeat the snares and pitfalls witieh all of us must face. The answer to a great many fail- ures to realize our dreams is that we do not hold them firmly enough. We grow tired too quickly. . The Food Prdblem All persons interested in keeping} healthy, and particularly the par-! ents of growing children, should be thoroughly informed as to the value of milk as a food. Tt would seem that the constant! advices of doctors, health officers and Similar authorities should have re- sulted in adequate milk consumption. But use of it, on the average, is still; below the desirable point. A quart of milk will supply 675 calories— about a third of the day's need of a child of 10, and about a quarter of the day's need of a grown person. It, contains, in generous amounts, the three vitamins, A, G and D, which are absolutely essential to bodily well-being. It likewise contains! three of the important minerals needed by the body—calcium, phos- phorovs and iron. And it contains: proteins whose chief work is to build| tissue in the body. It is a historical fact that the pas-| toral people of other times, being largely milk users, were unusually sturdy and healthy. In present times, milk drinkers are commonly in bet- Milk has been called the most nearly perfect food—a statement that medi- cal research has justified. ' Now, little Stock Market, don't you ery.

They are published without regard to whether they agri disagree with The Tribune's policies, The Forgotten Purpose (Duluth Herald) Cardinal Dougherty of Philadel- phia has called for a revival of the Catholic temperance and abstinence Societies, once quite common ™ but lately lapsed into neglect, like other similar organizations. The cardinal’s point is that since Prohibition hasn't achieved temper- ance by force, the effort to achieve it. by persuasion should be resumed. Of coure he is right. Temperance is good, and that means not only temperance in the use of intoxicants but temperance in the use of food and language. And we have none too much of any form of temperance. Temperance was making great gains when prohibition came along. Drinking wasn't fashionable, and be ing drunk wasn’t considered cute. Women drank little, and children not at all. Men in callings that at one time virtually compelled heavy drink- ing as a stimulus to trade were learning that they were better off, Physically and financially, if they little or not at all. Temper- ance was making great gains, and as for the average man temperate use of intoxicants was difficult if not im- pessible, in most cases temperance meant total abstinence. the effort to convince peo- ple by reasonable argument that it And besides, she said, she) jmodernism.

Those who have been in con- tact with the disease should be quar- ‘antined for at least seven days after their contact with the case in order to determine whether or not they have been infected. *e * Formerly scarlet fever was treated ‘merely by putting the patient to bed and giving him the best type of nurs- ing care.

In very sever fae it is customary to administer by injection the serum from the blood of the person who has recently recov- ered from the disease. Drs. George F. and Gladys Henry Dick have developed a test of the skin which determines whether or not a person is susceptible or likely to have the disease when exposed to ne lit. If the person is found to be sus- ceptible in time of epidemic, he may be immunized against the disease or given increased resistance to it by the jon—| injection of small doses of the toxin properly neutralized until resistance has developed. * * * During a time of epidemic it is well that all the children in the schools in which cases have occurred be ex- amined regularly to determine the presence of sore throats or a begin- ning rash so that they may be re- moved early from contact with other children.
