TWENTY-FIVE TRIPS A
MILK BOTTLES LIFE
Department of Agriculture Tells Some
Amazing Facts About Containers
Not Generally Known.

According to figures furnished by forty
dealers to the United States Department
OF Agriculture, a milk bottle will last for
from TO 80 trips, the average being ~
trips. II these estimates represent aver
age conditions, the average dealer would
have to obtain a new supply of bottles
every ~ days. II he delivers 1000 bot
ties a day and they cost him 81 cents
each, his daily expense for bottles would
be S15.55. or $5,575.75 a year
These bottles are not all lost or broken;
many Of them are merely strayed. Some
Of the bottles get into the hands of other
dealers and some are dumped into the ash
barrel by persons ignorant of their value
One million five hundred thousand bot
ties were rescued from the city dumps
during three years by a milk-bottle clear
ing house in one city.
Milk-bottle clearing houses established
in many cities, have done a good deal to
reduce the losses in bottles. The clea<ing
house helps the dealer to recover his own
bottles. Ashmen and others are paid
from IA to 1-2 cent for each bottle re-
turned. The usual charge for bottles re-
turned to the owner is from l to l 1-2
cents each.
Employees of the exchanges visit the
establishments of different dealers regu-
larly and return bottles not belonging to
the dealers to the exchange headquar-
tiers, where they are washed. sterilized.

this truck. which is being given one of
the hardest tests any truck was ever
required to undergo. At times. where
the road permitted. the engine was let

'DR." CALVIN c. POWERS
JAIL BIRD, SAY POLICE
Swindler Who Cashed Check in Co.
lonial Beach Is Wanted Else
where in East.

Investigation by the police last night
determined that DIR" Calvin c. Powers
arrested here on complaint of Mrs. Mary
c. Bryant, of the Breakers at Colo
nial Beach, who said she gave him Ss5 on
a check which proved to be worthless, is
wanted in a number Of cities throughout
the East.
The police believe Powers is the man
who for some months has obtained large
sums through worthless check operations
by ippersonating an army surgeon.
Search Of the finger print and Bertillon
measurements determined that Powers
was known to penitentiary officials at
LeavenwOrth, Kans-, as Seldom S. Lor-
ing, alias W. r. Kin. When shown pic
ture ''ST34' from the Kansas prison
Powers at first denied It was him. Finally
he admitted he had a record.
1t was through clever detective work
by Mrs Bryant that Powers was arrest
ed. At Colonial Beach he stopped at the
Breakers" There he said his brother
was night manager Of a Washington
hotel. After he was there a few days
he asked Mrs. Bryant to cash a check
for 800. This she refused to do. She
did let him have 81 at one time on it.
80 at another time, $50 at another, and
he got S from a guest which she must
make good. When Powers cleverly at
tempted to make a getaway Mrs. Bryant
became suspicious and boarded the same
boat after a run TO the wharf.
She communicated with the Washing
ton police. Detective Armstrong met the
boat and placed the man under arrest
At police headquarters Sunday night
Mrs. Bryant was inclined TO be lenient
until she learned Powers had a record.

CHARGES SENATORIAL
COMMISSION MONOPOLY
Representative Lieb Denounces AL
legged Tactics of Senators Burton and
Newlands to Serve Their Ends.

A movement to chrystallize a favorable
sentiment for the rivers and harbOrs
bill, the last appropriation measure of
consequence in the present Congress, was
given impetus in the House yesterday,
when Representative Charles Lieb, of In
diana, a member OF the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee. denounced alleged tao
tics OF Senators Burton. OF Ohio. and
Newlands, OF Nevada, TO further their
personal ambitions, as a means of which
the legislation for river and harbor i'm
prOvements would be sacrificed.
An amendment introduced by Senator
Newlands which proposes to authorize a
river regulation commission. was attack
ed by Representative Lieb, who also
maintained that Senator Burton is one
of a number OF members Of Congress
who vie in serving on commissions. 1t
Is pointed out that Senator Burton has
held membership on three previous COM
missions authorized by Congress.
Mr. Lieb has openly made the state
ment that it is Mr.. Burtons desire to
serve on another commission. He con-
meets the Inland Waterways Commits
ION and the National Waterways Com
mission with the present attempt to form
the River Regulations Commission, and
declares the objects of the pending
amendment are Identical with the serv-
ices delegated to the former commits
sions.
Senators Burton and Newlands served
on the Inland Waterways Commission.
whose report recommended the forma-
ton Of the National Waterways Com
mission. upon which Senator Burton also
served.
According to Mr.. Lieb's figures, the
two previous commissions cost the gov
ernment almost $4,000. while 1t is pro-
posed to spend $4,000 for the River
Regulation Commission. Mr.. Lieb stated,
further, that approximately S,OoO,OOO has
been spent in the last forty-ive years by
commissions authorized by Congress, and
that out of twenty-eight commissions
since 1899 only three or four schemes
recommended have been adopted or en-
acted into n law.

farmers have special interests common TO
the individuals of each class that are not
shared by those Of the other classes.
But we not less strongly insist that the
most important interests are those COM
mon to all parties concerned, and that
no permanent solution OF our difficulties
will be obtained until We can get larger
and juster social outlook from all parties
at interest
'T do not in the least mean that this
shall be merely sentimental.
"A man must think Of his own rights
and his own interests. IL only because in
this world, II he does pull his own
weight. he will not be able to help any
one else. and will be merely a burden on
his fellows of less fiabby moral fiber.
But in addition to thinking of his own
rights, he must also think Of the rights
Of others, OF he will in the long run be-
come a menace not only TO the rest Of
the community, but to himself"
"A business run at a loss will have TO
shut its doors. No prosperity can be
passed around until the prosperity exists
The chief and main element in the sue
cess OF any business must be efficiency,
and the wageworker must do all in his
power to contribute to this efficiency.
But the wage-worker who by his eff
cheney adds to the productivity must
have that added efficiency recognized in
increased wages. The benefit must in
part accrue to him exactly as II in part
accrues to the man who furnished the
capital without which the business could
not go on, and in part TO the general
public.
so in every great business II must be
recognized that there are those three in
terests; and each one Of those interests
must receive justice. Public opinion
must recognize this fact; and government.
which in this country is based on public
opinion. must also recognize IT, and en-
deavor to secure its practical realization"
