RAILROADS MUST NOT USE
ICARS OF OTHER COMPANIES

Chicago, ILL.,, Aus. 31-New rules an
nounced to be put into effect tomorrow
by the roads affiliated with the Am
erican Railway Car Association are ex-
pected to remedy a grievance of long
standing i'm the railroad-world. Up to
the present time all railroads have been
i'm the habit of using foreign equipment
TO any part of the country, providing
il was returned to the company with
in reasonable length Of time. Unde'
this method the smaller lines have had
the use OF more cars than they actual
ly owned while the larger roads which
owned the equipment have experienced
a car shortage. their appeals for the
return of their property often going
unheeded The new rules provide that
all the foreign equipment must be re-
turned tn the owners from the point
of destination, and not used by the rail
road in whose territory the equipment
happens TO be to haul freight to points
farther away. Severe penalties are to
be imposed on the companies violat-

POOR PEOPLE OF GERMANY
LIVE CHIEFLY ON POTATOES

Berlin Aug. 31.-The Agricultural
just published some statistics which
afford a striking confederation of a
statement made recently by a Socia,
st in the Reichstag TO the effect that
potatoes are the chief diet of the poor.
er classes in large sections of Ger
many.
The Agricultural Chamber, which is
a body legally constituted to gather
information for the Government on
agricultural matters. has been study
ing how the peasantry lives. 1t pub
fishes the family budgets of 80 pea
SAINT families with annual incomes
ranging between $471 and $3.50. About
two thirds of them had the higher
figure and owned small farms of from
10 to AZ acres.
II was found that the average daily
consumption of potatoes of the 80 fam
lilies was nearly 1-3 pounds for each
person whereas the consumption of
meat was less than 3 ounces OF butter
1.13 ounce, and slightly more than one
pint OF milk, of which nearly half was
skim milk or buttermilk.
The most important article Of diet
after potatoes was bread, of which
each person consumed nearly IA 2S
ounces daily, besides ounces OF flour.
The only other article of food men
toned in the report was eggs, Of which
each person ate one about every fourth
day.
1t must be mentioned for the proper
appreciation of these figures that the
Rhine Province is one of the richest
agricultural provinces in Germany, and
that the persons covered by them arc
far frcm being among the poorest peo-
pie i'm Germany. For example, a labor
paper has just been publishing the
family budgets of Silesian miners
which show that they eat almost no
meat at all, and the small quantity
consumed is chiefly horse-flesh.

URGES GERMANS NOT To
USE AMERICAN LIQUID FUEL

Berlin, Aug. 31.-The Emperor. who
is sometimes facetiously called "the
imperial drummer because Of his ac-
tivity in drumming up" trade for the
royal Prussian porcelain factories. is
not the only Hohenzollern who does
not hesitate to use his personal efforts
to further German industry.
Prince Henry of Prussia, grand adj
miral of the fleet. has now followed
his imperial brothers example by pup
fishing in the General Automobile News
an article over his own signature in
which he appeals 20 German motorists,
to use a German liquid fuel a by
product of coal distillation instead
Of foreign one He cities his own
experiments and those of others to
show that the German fuel will go as
far, quart for quart. as any other,
and points out that it costs less. Aside
from this, however. Prince Henry finds
his strongest argument in the nation
AL interest. lie says:
The prices for the ordinary liquid
fuel are dictated for us by foreign
countries. especially America. The
German automobile world is as yet
entirely dependenton importations, and
this is great national menace in
case OF war Every ':sutomobile owner
should. therefore quite apart from pc
cuniary considerations, do his part to
see that the domestic product made by
German workmen and German produ-
GERS from German products, shall be
more generally employed, to the end
that in case of necessity, the German
industry can supply Germans needs"
The prince discusses objections TO
the German fuel. such as its higher
freezing point. its tendency to foul mo-
tors and its unpleasant odor and de-
clares that modern motor construc-
tion has met most of these objections
and is solving the others. Twenty per
cent. of all liquid fuel made IN Ger
many, he declares, is exported to
France. for use by automobilists.

BOY MEETS AWFUL DEATH.

Flint Mich, Aug. 31.--In the pres

old Chester Belts, son Of Herbert n.
Belts of G'lint, was accidentally caught
by the guy rope of a balloon yester-
day afternoon and carried about 1000
feet in the air before the rope untan .

crashed against the roof of barn and
was still alive when spectators reach
ed him, but he soon expired
The tragedy occurred at the county
fair and when the balloon and aero
naut shot upward many people thought
the boy dangling at the end OF n ropc
was a dummy. The heroic efforts of
the balloonist to rescue the boy soon
disclosed the truth to the crowd below.
AS the big gas bag crept higher and

own safety. could be seen working des-
perately 90 pull the danglng form To
