TO MAKE PULLMAN
CAR BERTHS WIDER
fBy Latest MALL

CHICAGO-The Pullman Company
has just become possessed of the pat
ent right of a new device for the pur-
pose of making berths wider. Sleeping.
car berths are not as wide as could be
desired because of the limitations
placed on the width of cars and the
necessity of providing sufficient aisle
space.
In compartment cars, however.
where there is separate passageway
through the car outside the compart-
ments there is no objection to using
the aisle for extending the berths and
some of the compartment sleeping
cars are equipped with device for
this purpose.
The seat ends are hinged so that
they can be swung down and support
ed by an angle brace and form hr-
oizontal extension of the seat When
two seats are pulled out as is ordin-
arily done on making up the lower
berth, a filler is placed between the
two ends after they have been low
cred, thus forming full size bed

EDITOR
M'ABOu The sTRATEasT

The recent action of Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo toward relieving the possibility of
a money stringency is thus commented upon in
the latest letter from Henry Clews:
'The next important event was the announce
ment of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that
he was willing to authorize additional bank note
circulation to the amount of $500, 1000, 900 under
the AldPicil-V reeland act when the emergencies
demanded. There was nothing new in this an
nouncement, for bankers and others in the finan-
ca district we're quite well aware that the see
rotary had this power But the announcement
of the readiness of the new administration to
adept this method when desirable eXerted a most
reassuring effect, and the better feeling thus in
dueed caused sharp rally in the entire market
and justly SO. The short interest had been com
siderably expanded by previous developments,
and the rush to cover shorts materially aided the
upward movement Mr.. McAdoo's action de-
serves high commendation as,a master stroke. Il
is known that the notes for the emergency are
already printed and could be promptly issued If
required The mere fact, however, that they are
practically and instantly available will do much
to restore confidence and check foolish panic
talk. Nothing will do more to render the issue
of this currency unnecessary than the fact that
it is Immediately ayailable.vs

say $4,000, leaving deficit of about
$4,000 on December 81 of this year and
nothing but the personal school taxes
and advances from the territorial gem
eral fund to carry the school depart
ment until May, 1914, and there may
not be sufficient even then in the gem
eral fund for making such advances.
Thus, even if no increase is made in
the number of school teachers for the
coming school year, the school depart
ment may be hard pressed for money
for few months before the May and
November taxes, respectively, come in
next year. Under these circumstances
it would seem to be. clear that the
schedule of salaries should not be
changed so as to increase the salaries
Mutually or to diminish the time within
which salaries reach their maximum
and also that the number of teachers
Should be kept as low us. possible.

Should Attorney 3. NJ Watson be named
governor of Hawaii, as now seems probable, the
man who is to serve under him as secretary of
the territory becomes unusually important, for
the secretary must take from his shoulders some
of the physical gubernatofial burdens. No one
realizes this better than Mr.. Watson himself, ii
is fair to say, and before leaving Honolulu for
Washington he expressed confidence in being
able to secure a secretary who would be gener-
ally satisfactory to the territory.

Wilson's Mind Set
It is realized in advance of the con-

dent has become exceedingly stub
born with reference to. free sugar
and will hear no exhortations to the
contrary. He has repeatedly an
nouneed that his mind is made up and
there can be no change in. the pro-
gramnle outlined for downward tariff
revision.
Democratic leaders in the senate
have become much alarmed over the
silent attitude of Senator Walsh, OF
Montana, who declares he was elected
in campaign where it was under
stood the Baltimore platform did not
pronounce for free sugar. Up to this
time he has consistently refused to
inform his party associates of his in
tentiens concerning sugar and wool.
He has made no threats and no prom
ises.
In view of Senator Walsh's con-
tinued retieence the leaders are now
figuring on passing the tariff bill
with the assistance of Vice-President
Farshall's deciding vote. They have
eliminated Mr. Walsh, in addition to

believe the people will feel that the president
has overstepped his prerogative in thus publicly
declaring the sacredness of close-corporation
