SUGGESTIONS EXCELLENT ONE

Speaking of John D. Rockfeller's
gift of $50, 700, 900 to the General
Education Board, Former Presi-
dent Andrew D. White and
President Schurman of Cornell
University express the opinion
that most of the gift should go to
the South says the Savannah News.
Mr.. White says he hopes most OF
the gift will 60 to the South, "whose
institutions have not developed as
rapidly as those of the North. -
President Schurman thinks that
the greatest need for help is in
the South, and that the college and
preparatory schools rather than
the universities need the money.
He also says that it would be a
mistake to insist in all cases that
tbs benefciaries should raise an
equivalent or larger amount before
they could receive. anything from
the gifts.

WHY SHIPMENTS AKA oeLAYe 0
Why is there delav in tha shin

Why is there delay in the ship.
ment of freight? So far as there is
delay, there are various reasons.
Among these are, shortage of cars;
delay in unloading cars on the
part of receiving the freight;
large increase of traffic; lack of
trackage, of locomotive power and
terminal facilities. Where initial
shipment is promptly made there
is often delay at terminal points,
from causes already stated. The
railroads are anxious to do the
business. They much prefer to do
it promptly and to satisfy all
patrons.

The roads have been anticipat-

and curvature is made at enormous
expense, and requires time. The

lines.
Theidea that railways are owned
by few individuals is erroneous
There are thousands of investors
in this class of property Including
farmers, merchants, bankers and
all classes of investors, great and
small. There are tens of thousands
of such persons.

Parrot Pie.

Parrot pie is one of the delicacies
over which visitors to Australia rave.
AS the fruit season opens the parrots
and parrakeets come by thousands, like
lOcusts, and, settling on the trees, feed
upon the fruit until nothing but the
stones is left behind. They are shot
while gorging themselves. The flesh,
though very dark, is said to be deli
cious in favor and almost to taste of
the cherries, peaches and plums on
which the birds have fed. They are
said to be more succulent than pigeons
and altogether superior to the palate.
