Tal DSR aaah a ern: RAIL CHIEFS PLAN TO END CONGESTION 90 Per Cent of Lines of Nation Represented at Meeting in Chicago. Chicago—Plans for relief of con- gestion in the nation’s railroads were made at a meeting of nearly 100 rail road executives representing 90 per Cent of the roads While most of the reports received | and decisions made were not divulged it was announced that part of the $200,000,000 borrowed by the from the government would be used in | of 61,000} immediate construction freight cars, 1250 locomotives 1200 passenger cars. livered by mid-winter, it was said and They proposed to relieve rail con- | gestion by speeding up the movement of freight cars, by loading cars fuller and by reducing to a minimum the number of cars now lying in freight | yards waiting for repairs. To handle the crops raised in the west, the roads have re-allocated more than 40,000 freight cars from the east to the west since June 1, and during the same time have moved more than 30,000 coal cars to the mines in the east. To increase transportation further the executives voted to increase the per diem cost to a railroad for the use of a car from another road from | This, they stated, | 90 cents to $1.10. will aid in getting cars back to their own roads in the shortest possible | time. STEPHENS AND COLBY CONFER ON JAPANESE Washington.—Governor Stephens of California was in conference with Sec- | retary Colby at the state department regarding the Japanese situation in the Pacific coast states. While he would not say what had transpired during the discussion, the governor indicated that he had been assured that reports from Tokio of an approaching agreement between Japan and the United States providing for natural- ization of Japanese now in the coun- try and restriction of future immi gration were without foundation. The referendum election in Cali fornia on the proposed new law di rected at the Japanese problem, Gov ernor Stephens said, must be carried on whatever agreement the two gov ernments might conclude as a re sult of the pending diplomatic con versations. The proposal was incor- porated in the ballots, the governor | said, and could not be set aside. RECORD SENT TO COLBY ‘Tennessee Lower House Requests Action by Governor. Nashville, Tenn.—At the request of | the house of representatives, Governor Roberts forwarded to Secretary of State Colby a certified copy of the journal of that body, when the attempt | was made to rescind the federal suf- frage amendment. The action was not regarded by the suffragists as affecting the validity | of the proclamation previously issued | by Secretary Colby of the ratification of the 19th amendment. The anti-ratificationists, however, were jubilant because they interpreted the sending of the statement as mean- ing that this record would become a part of the evidence to be used in the courts to overthrow the validity of the | ratification. Gambling Scandal Hits Chicago Cubs. Chicago.—President William Veeck of the Chicago National league base- ball team will investigate charges | made here that the Cubs had delib- erately lost a game, which Philadel phia won, 3 to 0, and that professional gamblers “cleaned up” in a betting coup as a result. idaho Wants Mountain Time.

Method of Handling Difficult Situation So Simple and So Uniformly Suc- cessful That Every Driver Should Know of It From a motorist who lives In a sec: | common | comes a suggestion which its author ; tlon where mud roads are guarantees as the best remedy for such a situation short of a pair of husky mules. He states that he has tried the method on numerous occasions, and that It has never failed to work. He Says: “I always have stored away some- where In my car a stack of old news- papers, They don't take up so much room but that I can always find a place for them. When I strike a mudhole and the wheels begin to fly around In that exasperating way which tells me that I am firmly and definitely stuck, I get out my bundle of papers. “Taking a@ newspaper I fold It In half horizontal across the page and proceed to the task of working the paper between the tire and the mud. This is a simple matter, and Is accom- plished by feeding the paper while the wheels are being revolved. I feed the paper in lengthwise. Usually only a few will have been worked In when the tires will begin to grip and the car start forward. If a few won't do the work, keep on feeding in the papers until good traction is gained. “This method of handling a difficult situation ts so simple and so uniform. ly successful that every motorist should know it.
