Washington, D. c., Jan. 10.-While
no official announcement yet has
been issued, it practically is assured
that the proposed advances in freight
rates in both official classification
and western trunk line territories,
now under investigation by the in
terstate commerce commission will
be suspended to some date beyond
February I. Possibility OF further
suspension of the proposed rates has
been released for several weeks. The
advent into the commission OF two
new members, McChord and Meyer,
neither of whom is yet familiar with
the voluminous records in the case,
led to the conjecture that further
suspension might be necessary. 1t
was hoped both by members of the
commission, by railroads and the
shippers that further suspension
would not be necessary, but review
of the situation by the commission
today appeared to indicate desir-
ability, if not necessity, for suspen-
sion. 1t is semi-officially pointed
on THAT it will not be possible to
reach a decision before February
list With that situation confronting
it. the commission today informally
took up with Representatives of rail-
roads now in Washington, the propo-
sition further to suspend rates. They
in turn, have referred the matter to

they do not comply with the commits

hood is that the commission will ex-
ercise its authority to suspend rates.

the spread of the snuff using habit

The Worth of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
yisibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
ola in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.
