I ET there be prompt, full utilization of the State’s $150,000,000 The Evening World was first in urging the immediate enlargement of canal traffic as one of the most imperative duties the transportation organizers. The development of the use of t! Barge Canal and the Hudson River for the movement of food and fuel deserves the prominent place assigned it in what William Church Osborn rightly maintains should be the war programme of this Com- monwealth. New force for the argument is furnished by The Evening World’s investigation at the sources of coal production. Car short- @ge rather than shortage of labor in the mines is found to be largely Responsible for inadequate supplies of coal at centres where coal most needed. The coal is in the earth in abundance. lack of cars to haul it away. How coal consumers in this State and in New England could be benefited through the systematic transportation and distribution of coal by means of New York waterways has been fully and frequent: explained by this newspaper. Tomkins of the Inland Waterways Committee, is as follows: “In former years coal did move in large volume over the Erie Canal, but during the fifteen years the new canal has been under reconstruction this traffic has been interrupted and the habit of railroad delivery has been acquired. Terminal facili- ties have also fallen into decay and railroad rates have been fixed so as to prejudice water shipments, These conditions can and should be changed to promote water in preference to rail shipments, “Railroad rates for carrying coal should be revised so as to deflect tonnage from the rail to the water route, Existing rates have been fixed on a basis which discriminate favor of the railroads.” It is easy to understand that the policy of the railro: interest the most complete, efficient utilization of all carriers, Can Federal directors of transportation consistently neglect the canals of this State, when those canals, according to Superintendent of Public Works William W. Wetherspoon, can be utilized for the transportation of 10,000,000 tons of freight a year, meaning “th vonservation for other uses of nearly 500,000 freight cars annually” means a freeing of some of the Nation the speedier movement of supplies, domestic and foreign. For the ten million people of this Commonwealth full use of th: canals means return on a large investment—return in the shape of food and fuel to keep up their energies for industry and war. New York needs at this time a State Government that shall make it potent to the full extent of i resources. There is no’on of those resources that calls for immediate employment more insist- ently than does the State canal system. eeeenenenpentind peters The resignation of Ambassador Page because of 111 health again reminds us of the tremendous burdens of extra work the war has piled upon diplomatic shoulders.

ITEIR wealthy friends, the Stry- vers, on an automobile tour, stopped at the country place where the Jarr family were vaca- tioning and took Mr. and Mrs, Jarr for a ride to a nearby road house that Mrs, Stryver had heard of and rather fight than marry, Then the waiter appeared and sald he was sorry, but there was no cheese or sardines, “What kind of a place 1s this? bel- ir. ‘Nothing to drink, Bachelor Girl ‘Reflections | By Helen Rowland Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York rening World.) looks LIKE a soldier or a sailor instead of like “Ma's angel ehfid” Wess’ A posterartist who will draw a soldicr or a sailor that - or @ “beauty chorus” boy. ing from, wife—but never to himself! and flatter his favorite vanities, umn, as she was beginning to think, yes, you CAN afford them!

For, many times, I would have been true unto death if fate had not interfered. For instance, I would never have swerved from Muriel to Nancy if Murlel, fool- ish girl, had not unjustly accused me of flirting with Nancy. Then, to give her real cause for jealousy, I confess, I did flirt with Nancy. Nancy war so tremendously attrac- tive a man could not help losing bis head over her. To increase my interest she by no means received me with open r=ms. She knew I had been devoted to Muriel. She did not want to encroach qa her friend's claim, nor aid she want to give consolation to another girl's discarded admirer, Also she bad so many beaux she did not know w it to do with them all, Never yet had I fought co per- sistently for any girl's love as for Nancy’s. But, usually, the longer a woman evades a lover's pursuit the more complete is her final surrender. So it was with Nancy, who came _ tr my heart, all resistance gone. “Thank goodness mamma and daddy like you, a Nancy. “Dad is very hard to please.” If it’s true that, by prohibiting “treating,” the drink habit in Englasd has been reduced 84 per cent., then maybe there JB something in a husband's story of that compulsory high- ball which is always being “forced” home from the office. on him on his way My goodness!
