Chukhnovsky came here from Moscow enroute to join the search fdr Col. Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland. He has also received an appeal for medical supplies from the Yakutsky authorities who are desperately in need of vaccine for treatment of three Russian physi- cians who are suffering from hy- drophobia as the result of being !} bitten by dogs. The flier said he would be glad to undertake both missions as soon as his motors are installed. Such a trip to Yakutsky would delay several days his search for Eielson.

ON COLLEGE DEGREE BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 8—A college degree is worth $56,000 more an a high school diploma ac- rding to statistics gathered by C. B. Glenn, superintendent of Birmingham schools. Dr His figures are based on the Al- pha Kappa Psi fraternity's survey on cccupational incomes from all types of occupation and grades of education. The statistics were compiled from 7360 reports received by the fra- ternity from all states in the union. The survey was conducted to show whether a college education ac- tually paid in dollars and cents. “The untrained man,” Dr. Glenn found, “with only an elementary education, goes to work at 14. He reaches a maximum income at 45, earning on the average less than His total earnings from 14 to 60 are about $64,000. “The high school graduate goes to work at 18, four years later, and | passes the maximum of the elemen- tary trained man in 10 years. “He rises steadily to his own| | maximum of $2,800 at 50 and then | falls off to about his 40-year aver- | age. His earnings from 18 to 60 total about $88,000, just $24,000 | more than that earned by the ele- mentary trained boy.

HENRYJ 00X PASSES AWAY; ILL 2 YEARS District Weather Forecaster in Service Dies in Chicago CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 8—Believed to have been engaged in weather forecasting longer than any other man in the United States, Henry J. Cox, aged 66 years, meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau in Chicago, died today after an illness of two years. Professor Henry Joseph Cox had been engaged in district weather forecasting longer than any other man in that service. It was a combination of circum- stances and incidents that led him into the work when as a young man his ambition was to become a physician. The chief obstacles to his real- izing the latter were the necessity of an immediate job when he was graduated at Harvard University and an early marriage.

KlHT\F« Financial Editor (Associated Press Feature Service) NEW YORK, Jan. 8 —The Inter- state Commerce Commission’s plan to button the 250,000 miles of rail- roads in the United States into 21 unified systems marks the end of a century of railroad building in North America. One hundred years ago, there were miles of railways in the United States. For every mile of the old wooden trackage laid down in that year more than 10,000 miles of steel rails exist today. The Commission’s plan has been referred to generally as a “final program.” Section, 5 of the Esch- Cummins transportation act of 1920, however, provides that the Com- mission “may at any time there-| in ‘830. -am , upon its own motion or ap- plication, reopen the subject for such changes or modification as in its judgment will promote the pub- lic interest.” This has convinced many rail- road executives that the present plan is merely a basis for discus- sion. Consolidation is now a new idea. Most of the great systems, in op- eration today, particularly those in the East, were formed by the grad- ual linking together of hundreds of railroads which began life brave- ly as small prises. But consolidation in its present independent enter- meaning is a problem that is only about 10 years old. It is largely an economxc consequence of the de MG a5 (Continued on Page Five)
