System Is Satisfactory. The American Railway Association has been notified by C. C. McChord of the Interstate Commeérce Commission that the method of automatic train control, which has been in use on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois for the past eight years, has proven satisfac- tory and might with advantage be installed on other railroads. The rail- way association has notified its mem- ber roads of the view of Commissioner McChord. ‘The device used on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois is the Miller train control. Other devices have been in trial operation on other roads for several years, notably on the Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac on its lines south of Washington. The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion bas the power, under a law pass- ed several years ago, to order the railroads to install a train-control device. Commissioner McChord's let- ter is not in the form of an order, but is 2 suggestion to the American Railway Association to line up its member roads and attempt to have the device installed without an order from the commission. Many of the roads have been open in their opposition to the installation of a train-control device, maintain- ing that it shifted the responsibility for careful operation of trains from the. engineer to a machine. This ob- Jection has been met, it was said to- ay, by the successful operation. of the devices.on the C. and E. L and the consequent elimination of the hue man factor.

The association is a charter member of the - recently formed International Federation of University Women. High Purposes. It is pointed out that ite work has been to elevate the standards of edu- cation in women’'s colleges and to se- cure their continuity. It maintains fellowships for advanced study in Eu- rope, and offers in South America scholarships for study in colleges here, and it is endeavoring to estab- lish scholarships in each of the seven Christian colleges for ;women in the orient, located, reapect‘vely. in China, Japan, India and the near east. The: association acts as a clearing house for information about educa- tional opportunities for women in the United States, and has established a clubhouse in Paris which will be a center for university women abroad, it is _announced. It co-operates with the National Educational Association, the General Federstion of Wome: Clubs, the National Council of Women, the bureau of education and the chil drebn'l bureau of the Department of or.

COBB. NEW YORK, July 1.—I saw Car- pentler once. It was in Paris in the summer of 1918, at a bénefit of boxing matches put on in behalf of wounded French soldiers. He acted as referee of one of the bouts. To me he seem- ed handsome, mannerly, kindly, well-set figure of a man and an ath- lete. His profile made me think of some of our own moving-picture he- roes with their rubber-set eyelashes and their Hudson seal hair. His shape put me in mind of an illustra- tion for a union-suit ad as seen in one of our popular weekly magazines. Seeing him, [ did not say to myself: “Here is a young Greek god come upon earth. Here is the inheritor of the grace of the sculptured discus- thrower. Here is the reincarnation of the Attic Adonis. said: “I recognize this youth—he is the model who sits for the illus- trator who makes the pictures for the manufacturer who turns out those new turned-down collars back home.” ‘What caused me mentally to offer him the tribute of a salute was not the perfection of his outline. which was not to be denfed. Nor yet was it the beauty of a finely-aftuned nature flashing forth from his eye, for, some- how, I could not behold this latter thing. What made me do it was the fact that on his breast he -wore a medal which attested his valor as one having risked his life for his eountry against a foe whose fists were not padded in the upholstery of the mat- tress-maker, but a foe who came at him with shrapnel, high explosives and poison gases.” I did not appraise him as a professional pugilist making his living by mauling his fellow man out of shape for hire. I honored him as a sqldier. I still do. He has my best W and. I fear me, is going to have my sincere condolences. Dempsey Sure Looked Scared. Also. onco I saw Dempsey. it was when he clouted the giblets out of that tired business man, Jess Willard, at To- ledo two years ago. When Dempsey scrooged into the ring he was scared stiff or else I, viewing him from a dis- tance of not more than twenty feet, was woefully mistaken. I am sure he had been intimidated by a four-card bluff {and a bunco bugaboo. The same super- man stuff which made the German ef- lfltiency machine seera potentially so in- D. C.

Two hundred thousand dollars is a small amount for starting a nine- million-dollar project. that Army en- gineers say can and should, for the safety of District citizens, be com- pleted within three years. But Brig. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of en- gineers of the Army, and Maj, M. C. Tyler of the Corps of Engineers of the Army, who developed the water plan Congress has appropriated for, believe they will be able to make considerable progress with the initial fynd, which becomes available today. With this money they expect to be able to clear the right of way for the conduit, grade for the filtration plant that is to be built on the Dalecarlia reservation—in short, lay tho founda- tion for the project, so that rapid progress can be made in carrying it to completion after the first year. Day labor probably will be employed during the first year's work, but it is likely contracts will be let after that Depends on Congress. How rapidly Congress appropriates for the work will determine how soon it may be completed. Inasmuch as the District to pay 60 per cent of the cost, this question of the rate of progress will have to be considered in connection with the framing of the District's budget. Should it be de: termined to ask for $3,000,000 & year in order to complete the conduit in three years, the District would be re. quired to set aside nearly $2,000.000 annually of its. revenues for water supply during a period when large ppropriations are needed for streets. schools and other improvements. How to apportion -available revenues to these requirements and at the same time expedite the completion of the conduit is the first problem the Dis: trict Commissioners will be confront- ed with when they start the budget- framing task next month. Citisens Pleased With Prospect. There was widespread rejoicing in the District today’that the condujt now is assured. Congratulations poured in on Representative Zihlman of Maryland, who had much to do with the favorable action taken by Congress, and on Francis Rt Weller, chairman of the water supply com mittee_of the Board of Trade, who kept that committe¢ on its toes dur- ing a period of many months in di- recting the attention of Co! ess to the dfn‘er of delaying provision for a safe water supply Senators Sutherland and Cap resentative Moore of Vi many other members of both th: ate and House were active in £he ef forts made to bring about a conduit T, Rej i fr the capital. ith‘ Jack. - ) vinell back in 1914 had, as the saying Eocs, rnered his goat | the event.

And something tells me he'll dupli- cate in New Jersey what he did in Ohio. Here he'll have @t the outset what he lacked in Toledo. He'll have prestige behind him and confidence.

He is heavier than Carpentier—much heavier from th neck down. although perhaps not so heavy from the neck up.

And in the boxing game youth counts for a lot. For his part the contender is said to be quicker on his feet; is said to be a better tactician, a better boxer. perhaps a quicker thinker. He is fighting as the fittest representative of a land which showed the highest casualty average and the small slacker list, population copsidere any among the allies in the great war. He has the cordial indorsement of all of France, all of England and prac- tically all of the American Legion. But he takes a gosh-awful chance inclosure with Jack Dempsey.

He originally asked that Congress prevent the present sit- uation from arising, but Congress paid no attention to the request. It's only one of a number of instances of lack of teamwork. and of a disposition in Congress to go its own way regard- less of the republican executive. ‘Will React on Preaident. Mr. Harding has been told that soon- er or later this situation will react against him and that the errors of omission and“commission of an inef- clent Congress will react against him as much as agsinst any individual member.

The estimates of nditures, once approved, will be subject to further study and re- vision during the course of the fiscal year, and all possible additional sav- ings therefrom will be effected. To this end the heads of bureaus and branches will maintain upon thei e | fhancial records additional sums re- served from obligation, so that if the developments of the fiscal year per- e amouhis may be added to the budget m month to month.

POSTPONED TILL AUGUST No Congressional Action Expected in Present Extra Session Now. Investigation of the railroad tion was suspended today by Chaire man Cummins of the Interstate om- merce committee until the middle or latter part of August. This was taken to mean that there would be no .railroad relief legislation at the pres- ent extra session of Congress. Chairman Cummins said suspension of the inquiry was deemed advisable in view of the inclination of the Sen- ate to take a summer recess. Some senators were of the opinion that the investigation might not be re- sumed before early in September. The investigation to date has d veloped the views of the railroad executives and _security owners, though the latter have not completed the presemtation of the case. Rep- resentatives of labor and shippers are yet to be heard. The original plan contemplated a committee report and pos: 1y the proposal of legislation for ¢ tion at the present session of Con- gress.
