AUTO MANUFACTURER
FAVORS HIGHER FREIGHT

Since it appears to be the open sea-
son for objections from automobile
manufacturers to the proposed in
crease in freight rates authorized by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and several have already entered
strenuous objections to the ruling, its
endorsement by a big business man
Is more or less of a novelty. How
ever, there is at least one man pro-
minent IN the motor car industry who
not only upholds the increased rate,
but makes public acknowledgment to
that effect. This man is John ~
WHY'S. president of the Willys-Over-
land Co., of Toledo, Ohio, head Of
half-a-dozen other big companies and
the second largest manufacturer Of
automobiles in the world. MIR
WHY'S recently wrote to the federal
commission, in effect, as follows:
After considering from every an
gle the matter now before your honor
able body, pertaining to the general
increase in rates, ] am constrained
to write and express to you my belief
in the ACCESSIBILITY of such action.
am convinced that conditions war
rant 1t and that carriers are entitled
to a larger revenue for the service
they perform.
so / would respectfully ask to be
placed on record as not only not OBJ
iecting 10 the increase but as strictly
advocating it, Notwithstanding the
fact that it will mean large increase
in the expenses of my company.
Il might add that the Willys-Over-
land Company and the several com
panies owned by it and myself, max
ing parts for Overland cars, are, as
you are doubtless aware, heavy ship
Ders. The Willys-Overland Company
alone ships and receives approxi-
mately $4,000 car loads per annum
and pays freight charges on inbound
carload shipments, exclusive of coal
oil and lumber. considerably over
100000 per annum."

JUNE BUSINESS is
REVIEWED BY BANK

The June business digest of the
National Bank Of Delaware says:
Business failures for April num-
tered 1881 compared with 1881 for the
corresponding month last year. The
total liabilities were p million dol
lars compared with liabilities of only
, 18 million dollars for the concerns
failing in April, 1913 IS April fail
ures had total liabilities of 10 mil
lion dollars. so that the remaining
number averaged much less in liabili-
ties than those concerns which failed
in the same month a year ago
There is material for careful study
in the foreign trade report for April
For the first time since August, 1910
our imports exceeded our exports,
leaving an unfayorable balance OF
trade. The decline in exports is
largely accounted for by declining
prices abroad. The decline in prices
of manufactured articles in several
European countries has been great
which has stimulated our imports
and caused a decrease in our exports
We are buying their products because
they are selling at low prices and
they are not buying ours to so large
an extent because we have not met
their price levels. During April, 61.S
lper cent. of our total imports came
in free of duty compared with 52.6
per cent for the same month a year
ago Here we have the first fair op-
Iportunity to judge the effect of our
tariff reductions and good business
men will not jump at conclusions but
will give careful consideration to our
April foreign trade statement, sitting
and Analysing it to see just what
kinds of merchandise we exported
and imported and learn the real cause
in each case of the increase or de-
crease. Retail merchants stocks are
woefully depleted and, given a rea-
sonable summer demand for all
classes of merchandise, imports are
bound to increase. Both imports and
exports of iron and steel have shown
la decrease for the year and a great
decrease compared with the ten year
average"

soul TIPPED SCALES
|. AT 3-4 OF AN ounce
Weight AScertained as Tu-
berculoSiS Patient Died,
Says DR.. McDougall

BOSTON, June 3.-Dr. Duncan Nc
Dougall. of Haverhill, says he has
found the weight Of the soul Of a
dying man.
My first subject was a man dying
Of tuberculosis he said. 1T seemed
to me best to select patient dying
with a disease that produces exhaus-
ton, the death occurring with little
or no muscular movement because in
such case the beam could be kept
perfectly at balance and any loss oc-
curing readily noted
THE patient was under observa-
tion for three hours and forty min
utes before death, lying on a bed ar
ranged on light framework built
upon very delicately balanced plat
form beam scales.
THE patients comfort was looked
after in every way. although he was
practically morihund when placed
upon the bed He lost weight slowly
at the rate OF one ounce per hour, due
TO evaporation of moisture in respir-
alton and evaporation of sweat
During all three hours and forty
minutes I kept the beam end slightly
above balance near the upper limit
ing bar in order to make the test
more decisive if it should come.
AT the end of three hours and 40
minutes he expired and suddenly, CO.
incident with death, the beam end
dropped with an audible stroke. hit
ting against the lower limiting bar
and remaining there with no rebound
THE loss was ascertained to be
three-fourths of an ounce.
This loss of weight could not be
due to evaporation of respiratory
moisture and sweat. because that had
already been determined to go on, in
his case, at the rate of one-sixtieth
of an ounce per minute, whereas this
loss was sudden and large-three-
fourths of an ounce in few
seconds"

Protecting State AGAINST
TUBERCULAR Cattle

The Department of Agriculture has
issued an interesting statement rela-
tive TO tuberculous cattle. in the
Farmers Bulletin, No. 47S, which is
particularly interesting to Della
wareans in view of the campaign for
pure milk that is being conducted in
this State by the Consumers League
and Anti-Tuberculosis Society.
The bulletin reads as follows.
Tuberculosis is a widespread dis
ease affecting animals and also man.
Human beings and cattle are its chief
victims. tuberculosis is Catching
1t spreads from COW to COW in a herd
until most of them are affected. This
may not attract notice from the own
er as the disease is slow to develop
and a COW may be affected for months
before any signs of Ill health are to
be seen.
THE Importance of the disease is
two fold: First the loss it entails on
the cattle owner, and second, the dan
ger of communication to human be-
ings.
1T is no unknown thing to find 20
or so per cent of the COWS in a herd
diseased Some may show no signs
of i'll health others may be evidently
breaking down and wasting away.
Calves in such herd do nat long re-
main healthy.
"The danger to human beings and
especially children is obvious, for the
milk of a tuberculous COW contains
millions of tuberculosis germs.
"The only sure and adequate test
for the disease is the tuberculin test
which does no harm to the healthy,
vet detects the disease practically
without fail"
The bulletin further states tl&t
the disease thrives particularly in
dark, dirty, crowded stables and
where other unsanitaTy conditions
exist II also gives methods for
wedding out the disease from herd
containing diseased cattle.
A movement is on foot to stamp
out the disease in Delaware, and the
matter will be discussed at a mass
meeting which will be held on Friday,
June 5. at o'clock in the New Cen
fury Club.

met for their Christmas celebration.
A number of their better halves
were present and the tree was
enough to delight the eye of the
proverbial small boy. Resting on
the dining room table decorated
with the usual tinsel, candles, etc,
and loaded with presents for the
young folks" it presented picture
long to be remembered by those
fortunate enough to be present. In
fact there seemed to be an unusual
number of horns. jumping jacks
and trained animals. Judging from
the exclamations and laughter; the
jokes were funny indeed and fitted
admirably.
A number of daughter of the
members were present and added
much to the enjoyment and enter
tainment of the ocC aston,
After partaking of the goodies"
that the tree afforded, and indulg-
ing in the much loved game, all
went to their homes wishing that

We Cannot Tell.

Again we have crossed that line
which separates the fleeting years.
1918 with all its pleasures and sad
ness, its prosperity or wretchedness
has passed into history. We are on
the thresh-hold of 1914. We know
not what it has in store for us. To
some it will be q year of sladness.
To others a year of sorrow and
want. The All Wise Ruler has so
ordained that We cannot look in
to the future and see what is in
store for us. There are many
rapid changes in the checkerboard
of human life. He who today,
stands at the top may in few
short days be at the bottom and he
who as at the bottom of the ladder
today may by the end of the year
have climbed to the top. The
wealth of the rich may have taken
wings and flown away while he
who today may be in need may by
the turn of fortunes wheel be living
on easy street when the bell tolls
the parting hours of 1914. 1t is our
duty to do all we can for the gener-
al prosperity and happiness of all
the people. When we have done
this we have done our part. We
have done all that is required of
us. However, we must be sure we
have done our part He who does
all things for the best will give us
such reward as is best. Many times
it may seem that we are not getting
the good things which should be
ours. But, if we do our part all
will be well. even though sorrow
may at times seem to oveIwhelm
us. Be optimistic Try to do all
the good you can. Help your fel-
lowman in his struggles. Speak
kindly to all and spare not smiles
and words of encouragement. 1t
may be that they will not be ap-
preciated and then they may help
some wanderer on his journey
through life and smooth out the
rough places and make life more
pleasant.
