INCREASED RATES
PLANNED BY The
BIG RAILROADS

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-An advance
of 20 per cent in commodity rates
to the Pacific coast from the terri
tory between the Missouri river and
New England has been planned by
western railroads, according to the
Record-Herald. The scheme will be
carried out in the event that the
plea of the railroads to the federal
commerce court for an injunction
restraining the enforcement of the
order of the interstate commerce
commission in the inter-mountain
cases is denied.
The plans of the railroads also,
contemplate the withdrawal of less
than carload commodity rates, maxi
! ing rates to intermediate points in
accordance with the ruling of the
commission in inter-mountain cases.
Glass rates to the Pacific coast
were advanced in tariffs filed by the
roads about two weeks ago, which
will be effective November /
The Chicago Association of Com
merce has filed a petition with the
commission asking suspension of the
advance on class rates until there
has been adjudication of the en-
tire question. The railroads con-
tend that the order in the inter-
mountain case will mean reduc-
tion in their revenue of about $12,-
100000 a year.

THOUSANDS HEAR
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
At Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17.-Presi-
dent Taft and his party, accom-
panied by Governor Hiram Johnson
and the latter's staff, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday promptly on
schedule time-9:36 a. m.
Mr.. Taft and his party alighted
to be greeted by Mayor Alexander
and a reception committee made up
of prominent men in public life
Thirty automobiles escorted by
nearly thousand militiamen, plat
icons of police and an honor guard
of civil war veterans, made up a
parade. Cheering began when the
president, in Mayor Alexander's mo-
tor ear, emerged from the railroad
enclosure, and for 90 blocks or
more, as the parade passed slowly
along roped off streets lined by
thousands of persons, Mr.. Taft was
continually acknowledging the greet
ings of the populace.
Apparently the entire population
of Los Angeles came down town
to greet the president, and these
were reinforced by thousands OF
visitors who congested all the in
coming morning trains on all the
steam railroads and electric lines
Following the parade the presi-
dent was escorted to Washington
park, where 1900 school children
were assembled to welcome him.
The children were grouped about
the park waving flags and singing
national anthems.
After this review the president
delivered a short address at Praegel
park, and then, escorted only b!
platoon of police and squadron
of cavalry, he was taken to Temple
Auditorium, where he was scheduled
to deliver his principal address.
Subsequent to the auditorium
speech the program called for thu
dedication by the president of ;
new concrete bridge spanning thu
dry bend of the Los Angeles river
The dedication ceremony at th
bridge was an incident on TIL
presidents way to Pasadena, wher
he lunched.
A two-hour stay, marked by al
address on peace, was all that MI
Tafts schedule allowed Pasadena
Returning to Los Angeles h
faced smilingly the necessity TO
another speech, this time to tn
American league at Blanchar
hall.
From o'clock until 1880 was a
the time allowed the president t
visit his sister, Mrs. w. A. Ed
wards. At the latter hour he
to be escorted to the banquet, afte
which he returned to his sister
home to spend the night.
Mr.. Taft spoke to more than 200
persons in the auditorium. Govern
ors Johnson of California, Sloan {
Arizona and Oddie of Nevada, Ser
ator Works and former Senate
Flint of California were on the pla
form with him.

The most interesting Of the literary

in this volume were taken from Lam

YOUR WEIGHT AND HEALTH
Better Be over the Average When
Young and Under When Old,
Say Insurance Men. ~

At the annual meeting Of the AS
ISOLATION Of Life Insurance Directors
some facts were brought out in re.
gard to the best build Of men and
women from the insurance mans
point of view.
In the New York Life Insurance
company efforts have been going on
for many years to determine the ex.
act influence of build on longevity,
says the Medical Record. 1t Is sug.
gested that mistake has been made
In assuming that the average build
OF any age is the most favorable
build that that age or the build from
which 1t may be expected the most
favorable mortality will be sustained.
For instance, figures show that at
the age of twenty all risks from "a
per cent overweight to 10 per cent.
underweight are better than average
risks Does 1t not then seem prob.
able that the point Of most favorable
build Is about half way from "a per
cent. overweight to 10 per cent. under.
weight, or in the neighborhood OF
per cent. overweight? If this in
terence Is correct the tables now
used are too favorable to the under
weights by about 7 per cent.
At age sixty, on the other hand,
the super-standard risks begin at about
per cent overweight and extend TO
about % per cent. underweight. The
mean point between these extremities
lies at about 7 per cent. underweight
and the conclusion appears evident
that the present table based on
average weights is too high by about
per cent. At the intermediate ages
80 to 30, the mean point lies not at
the zero but on the heavyweight side
OF the zero at the age of thirty and
at the lightweight side Of the zero
at the age Of fifty, and only at the
age Of 40 is the table apparently cor
rect.

Romantic Ancient Mariners

Among the ancient mariners the
widest superstitions were rife, but
their beliefs in the existerce of en-
chanted spots, such as the siren
island of Salypso or Of those islets
which Sinbad likened to the Gardens
OF Paradise, were more picturesque
and romantic than the gloomy and
prosaic imaginings which occupy the
mind Of the modern seaman.

glad to learn Of some safeguard that
will keep them from shattering when

that with their additional heaviness
the bottom of the vase will be less
