The guerrilla leader of southern

New Haven Report May Fore
shadow Adverse Decision.
ONLY MINOR ADVAN cEs

Minor Advances and Urge
Conservation Of
Revenues.

Washington, D. C.-From sources as
close to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission as any that have talked at all
about the s per, cent. rate case comes
the information that the new Haven
report, came when it did and in the
form it did to prepare the railroads
and the country for what will be, IN
part, a denial of the advance asked tor
by the Eastern carriers.
THIS information, though, of course
unofficial, is sufficiently authoritative
that the interests most concerned IN
the forthcoming rate decision are
about convinced that the commissions
action will be on the whole adverse to
the carriers and that the results OF
the New Haven investigation will be
cited as compelling reason why con-
servation of revenue instead Of an IN
crease of income should be the remedy
applied for the present financial con-
dition of the railroads.
In other words, the conviction IS
strong in Washington that the COM
mission means to allow only minor ad-
vances in the prevailing rates and in
tends to show that the money the rail-
roads have made, and are capable OF
making under the present scale. is
sufficient for all purposes of operation
equipment and development, provided
it is not thrown away.

Food In Scotland.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea-
son is just about to begin there is a
controversy in the north as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. It
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some Of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta'
bles, for instance, and a greater va
riety of them. They demand turnip
tops Ia luxury rarely consumed north
Of the Tweed, save by sheep, and
ask, why no spinach?" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say it is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, a midday dinner and high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
As for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply Of Scotland
to the fault-finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out

mayor that people were endeavoring

was no evidence of any such plot the
mayor merely advised her to make a
will, and sent notary to her lodging,
but when he reached it he found that
the lady had departed with Doctor
Petit for Hyeres. She took the Villa

thing at home; father thinks she ought

to ask me to do anything for him

glad I'm the youngest grill"
Too often the oldest daughter is
made a drudge, and there is not the
proper amount Of respect and regard
for the girl whose labors take the
place Of maid. She is expected to
run errands., help with the care and
amusement Of the children, teach
them lessons. What wonder that
such girl viii take the first oppor-
tunity for work as a means to escape
from these unpaid labors, or accept
an offer Of marriage in order to live
apart from a family who do not even
try to make her home life comfort
able and pleasant. ~
But l am glad to say that not al
ways is the position Of "elder daugh-
ter" such an unappreciated one; in
some households she is beloved and
respected, at the same time expected
to fulfill whatever duties may fall to
her lot. Her sisters and brothers are
taught that they must return any serv-
ice she may perform for them with
due appreciation, If nothing more, and
they soon learn that her place is an
honored one, instead of being unen-
viable.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
