WESTERN STATES OPEN RAIL FIGHT Two Roads Seek to Break Southern Pacific Control of Coast Route. By the Assoclated Press. S8AN FRANCISCO, November 13.— Representatives of 11 Western States, 11 rallroads and about 50 cities, coun- ties and civic bodies, lined up here to- day for an Interstate Commerce Com- mission hearing to determine whether | the Great Northern and Western Pa- cific Railroads shall have the right to | link their lines to compete with the | Southern Pacific in the Pacific North- ‘west and other territory. The prize will be the North-South ftransportation business of the Pacific Coast and connected regions, extending into Canada on the north, Mexico on the south, and east to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. The Great Northern seeks permis- sion to build southward from Klamath Falls, Oreg., to Bieber, Calif.—a dis- tance of 88 miles. The Western Pacific ‘would build northward 112 miles from Keddie, Calif,, to Bieber, where the two systems would be linked. Over this con- nection the Western Pacific would de- liver freight to the Great Northern, chiefly California fruit and vegetables for the Northwest. Return of Products. The Great Northern would send southward over the Western Pacific large quantities of goods from the Northwest, chiefly forest products, into the Southwest. Coastwise rail traffic heretofore has gone over the Southern Pacific, which owns the only line operating between California and the Oregon-Washington area and which is fighting the appli- cation of the Great Northern and West- ern Pacific. The proposed connection would create another direct rail route between these areas. Hope of sharing the new traffic has urred several railroads to line up with petitioners. Thess include the Northern Pacific, the Denver & Rio Grande Western, the McCloud River Railroad and the Santa Fe System. Loss of Traffic Feared. On the other hand, rallroads fearing the loss of traffic through diversion over the projected line of traffic shared with the Southern Pacific have banded to- fi'.her on the side of the defense.

PERRY. ‘Washington may iack one of the glories of modern America, but she has her fair share of the other. If no sky- scrapers make her a city of glittering peaks and gloomy canyons, her spa- clous tree-fringed streets pour forth im- posing streams of cars to give her the true New World touch. For in the mind of a European, America and automobiles go together. The purring, honking floods of animated steel which sweep along him one of his first and most en- during pictures of the Great, Republic. Every man and every woman seems to have a car. And even the children are not forgotten; for in the West he finds the high schools surrounded by ranks of bat- tered flivvers wait- ing whiletheir youthful owners climb the stony paths of knowledge upon foot. Almost the auto has be- come a sacred symbol of American prosperity, a deity which exacts its monthly tribute of installments from the humblest home. Facts Support Impressions. Unlike many first impressions, this one is supported by the facts. In the United States one out of every five per- sons owns a car; in Britain the owners are but 1 in 40. For over there the automobile is still a sign of comfortable circumstances, a luxury beyond the reach of ordinary clerks and artisans. Indeed, any man with less than $2,500 a year who ventures to keep one will probably be regarded by his neighbors as a reckless fellow, likely to come to a bad end through following the horses or gambling on the stock exchange. For this state of affairs, so surprising to Americans, there are two main rea- sons. Firstly, distances in Britain are very short and rail communications ex- celient, so that a car is not the practi- cal necessity which it is in the United States. Secondly, cars cost on the aver- age mearly twice as much as they do here. The popular family sedan can- 0t be obtained for less than $900, and even the little seven-horsepower “babies” Alfred P, Perry, Los | cost $600 or $700. For the large-scale tion Co.

Outward Appearance Similar. In outward appearance British and American cars do not vary much to- day, since the development of body- work has tended to converge in the past few years. The chief difference is in the power of the motors. This is due to high rate of British taxation, $5 cylinder horsepower per annum, which compels the British manufac- turer to produce small high-efficiency engines for the popular market. More- over, the higher fuel consumption of on every side give | Machines to Avoid Heavy Tax to 20 Miles Per Hour on Left-hand Roads. the larger unit is an important con- sideration when gasoline costs 32 cents the (American) gallon. So the aver- age British car ranges from 10 to 15 horsepower, with a gas consumption of one gallon for 25 to 30 miles, compared to the much higher horsepower of the American_machine with its lower fuel return. But in spite of these handi- caps, several well known American makes are old favorites in Britain, espe- cially among people such as rising “so- clety” doctors and company promoters, who demand a large, imposing car but cannot afford the price of a British model of sych fine appearance. Other common mechanical differences | include the use of four forward speeds instead of three, due to the lower power of the motor and of magneto in place of battery and coll ignition. Four cylin- ders are still the rule for the cheapest | models, but most manufacturers offer | “sixes™ also for the man who is pre- pared to pay from $1,200 to $1,500 for the advantages which they confer. “Baby Cars” Aid Comics. The principal development, however, within the past few years has been the appearance of ‘“babies.” These little cars have been a Godsend to the comic papers, for they look like overgrown toys and can be garaged in the hall. Nevertheless, their tiny 7-horsepower motors are remarkably eficient and their bodies can hold three persons with reasonable comfort. Their speed also is adequate for British conditions. In a recent road race two of these midgets maintained an average speed of 60 miles for 6 hours. And in ordinary use their consumption of gas is only 1 gal- lon to 40 miles. Americans in Britain may be con- fused at first by the rules of the road, for trai keeps to the left, which ex- plains why all British cars have their steering wheels on the right. Also, the maximum legal speed limit is 20 miles an hour, a regulation which is honored more in the breach than the observ- ance. But, in any event, the high speeds possible upon the magnificent straight highways of this country are impossible upon the winding roads of Britain, where high hedges and hidden junctions often make & speed of more than 30 miles an hour criminally dan- gerous, “Poor” Use Motor Cycles. Another difficulty for Americans is the names given various important rts of the car over there. An auto always a “car” or a “motor”; the motor is the “engine”; the hood is the “bonnet,” and the top is the “hood"; fenders are “wings” and bumpers are “fenders.” And lastly, fuel is always “petsol” or “spirit” instead of gas. But the real car of the impecunious Briton is the motor cycle, of which there are five times as many as in the United States. A good model costs about $200, or $250 with sidecar, a price which brings this form of transporta- tion within the reach of all except the real poor. So on holidays father tucks mother, baby and lunch into the side- car, lifts Bobby onto the cushioned carrier behind and pulls his goggles on over the helmet. Then he climbs into the saddle, gives the starter a kick and away the whole family roars to sniff the gas-perfumed breezes of the Sunday countryside. And when young Bert asks his girl to ride with him, he means just that. For she must mount the baggage car, clasp her knight firmly round the middle and speed forth into the world, hair flying and skirts most everywhere, Dblissfully unconsciot of the curses which furious motorists and scared pedestrians scatter like confetti in her wake. ADVOCATES BOND ISSUES FOR ROADS T. H. MacDonaid Tells State Officials Plan Will Speed Highway Programs. By the Associated Press. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., November 13.| —Thomas H. MacDonald of Washing- ton, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, teday advocated the issuance of bonds for highway construction in an address at the fifteenth annual conven- | tion of the American Association of States Highway officials here. He told members of the association that the issuance of bonds rather than adoption of the policy of “pay as you go” will bring to the States quicker and permanent realization of their dreams of connected highway systems. Other speakers charged that the Fed- eral Government was falling far short of its duty in providing funds to the States for Federal-aid projects. Legislation by Congress to place the interstate motor vehicle passenger and freight lines under control of some | agency, and to regulate tolls on bridges constfucted across navigable streams, was advocated by C.

CHICAGO, November 13.—The estate of J. Ogden Armour, once valued at| $200,000,000, was closed yesterday in Probate Court with a $2,000,000 loss to family creditors. It was the World War, with its at- tendant demands for feeding armed millions, that made the millionaire packer high among the multi-million- alres. Then peace—and the Govern- ment canceled a mountain of orders with the Armour Co. World markets were “flooded” with Armour products and the ploneer Chicago packer was said to have lost $100,000,000 almost overnight. Defla- tion of land and security values, fol- | lowing in the wake of peace, melted away the remainder of the once huge fortune. His wife and daughter, wealthy in their own right, lent Armour more than $3,000,000 and it was these claims that finally placed him “in the red.” According to the final report, his daughter, Mrs. John J. Mitchell, jr. recefved about $500,000 in settlement of a $2,000,000 claim and his wife, Mrs. Lolita Sheldon Armour, was paid $750,000 on & claim of $1,055,000. |BESSIE LOVE CONFIRMS BETROTHAL TO BROKER Screen Actress to Be Married to William Hawks After Holidays.
