Clam Disappearance

From the Providence Tribune.
IAN article 1 read the other day on the
disappearance of the clam in many To-
calties," said an old settler, reminded
me that there was no close season for
the clam. That is. while what we call
the clambake season comes to an end we
don't let up on clans as We do on oys-
ters for four months every year. We eat
clam chowder, or what passes for clam
chowder, and steamed and fried CLAIMS
all winter. and while were about IL We
eat three or four times as many clans
as oysters anyway. more OF them at a
meal. that is. L wonder that the supply
hasn't given ont everywhere. There's
short crop i'm these parts all right
Last summer a friend of mine and
went claiming on a beach where the
picking was good ten or fifteen years
ago. but it was like looking for da-
monds Every time We thought that We
saw clam in the mud and sand that
we'd dug up we threw ourselves down
on our hands and knees and chased II.
And when we caught one we shouted and
fired salute. You'd think we'd bagged
a snipe at the end of a long days hunt"

TREATMENT OF WRINKLES.
Exercises in Both Bodily and Men
tai Relaxation Are Best.

From Harper's Bazaar
The sanest treatment Of wrinkles is not
to have them, and the only sure cure Is
TO make a mirror our good friend and
critic and to take strenuous steps OF
prevention at it's first warning that We
are indulging in wrinkle habits.
Watch for grimaces while We are talk
ing. froWns and tense lifting of the
brow when trying TO solve simple or
complex problem, or for a relaxed mouth
when allowing a depressing sense OF the
uselessness of life to overcome us. All
of them leave their marks where INDUCED
in repeatedly, and when the marks come
we are surprised and grieved. A struggle
that is well nigh hopeless begins If We do
not make a strenuous EFFORT to remove
the furrow-making habits.
Some Of the blase women OF Fashion
are accused of becoming blase. because
they dare not disturb their features with
laughter or signs of feeling. That is
hardly worth while. IL we are to enjoy
life we must enter into 1t with new anu
lively interest at every turn. Better
v,inkles than boredom. A saner method
is To give a little serious thought to the
nervous tension back of the grimaces. IL
is invariably there, contracting muscles
uselessly and burning up an unlimited
amount Of life energy. all for no--ing.
How to get at it and conquer Ii Is partly
a PHYSICIANS problem.
Two valuable home remedies are sleep
and relaxation combined with a constant
EFFORT to be more philosophical and not
take anything too strenuously, either sor-
rows. JOYS, or daily irritations. The
strenuous expression upon the face is but
a mild suggestion usually OF the strenuous
feeling within.
n is very good for nervous person
TO take exercises in both bodily and men
tai relaxation: in the rest hour before
dinner, for instance, in loose comfortable
clothing to try devitalizing the d.--erent
parts of the body, beginning with the
hands, allowing them to hang apparently
lifeless and shaking them loosely around.
Continue II to the arms, then the feet and
legs, and finally the head and mind. Let
Yourself drop onto q couch at that point
and slip OFF into a restful sleep. If you
cannot sleep. try at least to stop thinking
and stop feeling. letting everything go
mind body. the entire world.
Eve strain Is the cause of much frown-
ing and nervous tension in the face.
Gentle massage is the best possible cure
for wrinkles. little given every day Is
of much more value than elaborate treat
ments given at long intervals. although
the elaborate treatments of experts are
delightful and very effective, IL one can
AFFORD them frequently.

States Power to Regulate.

so the state has the power to regulate.
to prevent the railroad from exacting
exorbitant rates. to prevent abuses in the
management. But that doesn't mean that
the state may. take the management out
of the hands of the owners. 1t means
that the state may protect the public
from violations of the railroads duty as
a common carrier.
THE interstate commerce commission
was intenden to be absolutely independ-
ent, not subject either to Congress or
the President but a quasi-judicial body.
My only criticism of II is that it 10 never
satisfied with the power 1t has. 1t always
wants more. 1t wants now the power to
regulate the amount Of stock and bonds
a railroad corporation whose existence Is
authorized by a state government may is
sue
In speaking Of the organization of the
association, Mr.. SpoOner said that ii came
into being one year ago at the end of a
great panic. And God knows he con-
tinued, but for the genius and strength
of j. P. Morgan, who would have
stemmed the tide Of that panic. 1t could
not, perhaps would not. have been

PEACE WITH PUBLIC
Railroad Officials Striving for
More Harmony.
DESIRE TO BE FAIR
Frank Speeches Made at Banquet OF
Business Association.
RELATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT
States Power to Regulate Admitted,
But How to Do It the Question
Discussed by Speakers.
RELATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT

NEW YORK, November 1.-the first
annual dinner of the Railway Business
Association was held at the Waldorf last
night. The association was organized q
year ago to promote more harmonious re-
lations between the railroads and the
public. and that purpose was the theme
of the speeches at the dinner last night
Some Of the best known railroad men In
the country were among the speakers;
others were seated through the room, ana
still others sent letters. All those who
spoke praised the object Of the organiza-
ton and emphasized the need of better
understanding between the railroads ana
the public The speakers who were not
railroad men offered the railroaders adj
vice on the wisdom of conciliatinS the
public.
George A. Post, who yesterday was re-
elected president Of the association for
the ensuing year, in his brief opening adj
dress set the pace in advising the railroad
men to treat the public kindly and try
to get on the good side of the people
Ex-senator John c. Spooner OF wisconsin
Was the principal speaker.
Ex-senator Spooner's Advice.
Ex-senator Spooner said, in part:
THE railroad companies for many years
held the idea that because they had the
power to fix rates the states were without
the power TO regulate those rates. For
many years the people bore with consid-
cradle patience with that misconception
of the railroads of their real rights.
Everybody knows that the railroads could
never have been created without the use
of the corporate entity. Partnerships
would never have been successful in the
building Of railroads"
but the public does not understand its
relation to the railroads. 1t has been
told that they are public corporations
and II has been taught to believe that the
power of the public over public corpora
tons il supreme. But the railroad Is not
a public CORPORATION. The Supreme Court
has decided that il is private property.
and private property has the protection
of the Constitution against the public and
against private individuals.
The difference between a manufacture
ing corporation and q railroad is that
railroad cannot be constructed without
the power that is given to it, but is not
given to a private corporation. That is,
the ultimate power OF the people dele
gated to the railroads to take the land
| they need. not at the price fixed by you.
but the price fixed by a jury. Therefore.
as the Supreme Court has said, the rail-
road is affected by the public interest.
