The omnibus rivers and harbors | bills in the past were regarded a consisting largely of “pork;” whici | 4 means that sundry | cager to show their constituents | how much they were doing for their | districts or their states, got water- congressmen, way their value. Because of ridicule heaped upon the system and the development of “economy” congresses, | and harbors, bills, which formerly were annual pork expeditions, were made less frequent.

DIVORCE STEAMSHIP LINES 'ROM RAILROADS Shipping interests who oppose the forced sale of the steamship lines of the New Haven railroad seem to think that if independent concerns | operate the ships, the rates will ba advanced. The Who ever heard of a steamship line, opposite secems more likely operated by a competing railroad, | as a steamship | road and having as low rates line not owned by the ra competing with the railroad? Who, for instance, ever heard of a | motor owned by a ran-‘; coach line road and paralicling its lines charg- s for the service than an inde- coach linc?

PRO’ INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION | At the moment when the govern- | | ors of southern states were meeting in conference in Asheville v\"l!\mjt\y‘ to hand a report of conditions in the southern textile industry made | under the social relations depart- | ment of the American UnitaMan As- | head offices are in | sociation, whosc Boston. | The same association, it is an- nounced, will make a similar investi- gation and report upon the textile industry in New England. The extent of increased industry in the ten states south of the Ohio and Potomac and cast of the Mississippi is shown from the figures for 1 the last available. The increase from 19 to 19 3 84.000,- 000 in 1921 to $5,277,000,000 in 19 This inc was from ase of 60 per cent occurred while the value of all goods manu- of the increasing only factured in the remainder United States was 4 1-2 per cent. In the ten southern states covered in the above figures, the number of manufacturing wag carners increased 40 per cent during those six years, while the number in the remainder of the country was | increasing only But 20 per cent the factor most commonly considered that of the character of the labor employed. One investi- as reported that if the wage scale is lower in the South, it must be remembered that thers are apt to | benore wage-earners per family. As | d mdus- | ruited against longer hours may be pla the fact that most southern trial workers have .been re from farms where a sunrisc t day to sun- is generally accepted.

This corrgspondent, a member of the party aboard the train, called | the 'United Press office in New York |to report the story and found the wire" as' clear as that of the ordi- nary telephone line. The correspon- dent also talked with Smith in Lon- don. Some static interfered with the latter call, but most of the time the conversation was clear. { St another demonstration of the versatility of the new system came in a call from the French liner France, on _the high seas, carrying a message of greeting to those who were inaugurating train telephony. “Booth in Chair Car A chair car was provided for the official party. In it was a telephone booth beside which was a switch- board attended by , a uniformed operator, Calls were put in as casually as from any office or residence tele- Yhone. The passengers raig the operator, who connected the circuit with three radio antennac on the roof, The impulse was picked up by other antennae running parallel to the tracks, and over thesc copper wires the speaker’'s voice was car- ried to the Kingston, Ontario, ex- change and thence over established telephone routes. The two-way conyersations were the first ever held from a moving train, although one-way communi- cation was accomplished several years ago by German engineers. J. C. Burkholder, a former Phila- delphian, chief engineer of the Ca- nadian National railways telephone and telegraph department, perfected the new system. He is 31. As if to give added proof that the motion of the train could not hinder normal conversation, the train se- lected for the demonstration is one of the fastest in the world. It cov- ers 334 miles in 360 minutes.

Willy Hundertmark was trying to change from cne plane to another in mid-air by use of a rope ladder thrown from an upper one, but in some manner his hand was caught | and he was unable to extricate it. | As the plane with the ladder swung clear of the lower machine the acrobat was left dangling to the ladder, unable to pull himself up. The pilot was afraid to try to land for fear of crushing him. Police stretched a canvas on the field on which he might jump, but with his fingers caught he could not let go the ladder. Finally the airplane tried to land without hurting him, but he was dragged for a long distance. H: was picked up unconscious and diel Jater at a hospital here.
