BERLIN. March 22.-The automo-
bile, which in the streets of Berlin
have shrunk in number from 325 oper-
ating on - lines to S3 on six lines,
since the war began. may disappear
entirely, owing to shortage of gaso-
line.
The company which operates the
big autos has been restricted 10 a
supply of 100 barrels per month-ona-
half OF what it is is now using. 1t
has appealed to tho police to allow the
use Of at least so barrels more than
this. and If this is not granted will
have TO reduce its lines to three. all
operating along the Friederichstrass
1t is even anticipated that operation
will cease entirely, and that the old.
time horse.drawn vehicles will once
more hold complete sway.

WASHINGTON NEWS
(By Charles Brooks Smith,

WAShlNGION, ~. u, MhFCU SG0-
Preliminaries for consideration by the
United States Supreme Court shortly
after the Easter recess, OF litigation
involving the constitutionality and in
depreciation OF the Webb-Kenyon IL
quor law Of 1912, have been completed.
The "drys" say the Web-Kenyon law
withdraws from interstate shipments
of Intoxicating liquors consigned to
local option territory the protection
previously afforded such shipments by
the commerce clause of the Federal
constitution. The "wets" contend the
law does not do so. but is merely aim
ed at Bookkeeping.
AS liquor dealers throughout the
country have gone into courts to com
pei carriers TO accept shipments for
personal use in dry territory, express
companies are as much worried over
the proper construction OF the law as
over the question of its validity.
1t 10 entertained that 10 ferret out
the purpose OF each shipment, q force
OF detectives would be required, and
an express company in Kentucky,
where the wet" construction was
adopted, appealed TO the Supreme
Court for a decision.

A Land Baron

1t is reported that J. P. Schemer-
horn has bought the Joe Alley farm
on the head Of Piceance creek Meek
er-Rifie road). This is the historic
Frank Morgan ranch, one of the first
located within the present bound
aries Of Rio Blanco county. When
the present site Of Meeker was a mil
itary post, known as Cantonment on
White River, It was on this natural
blue-stem meadow that the soldiers
cut most of the hay that wintered
ten companies of cavalry horses
during the existence Of the post.
The acquisition Of this fine place
added to his already extensive
holdings, makes Mr.. Shermerhorn
one Of the largest land barons of Rio
Blanco county and we are prepared
to lift our lid" to John next time he
comes to town.

Reading the Exchanges"

Every craft has its crosses. One OF
the sore Affections of the newspaper
business is found In the fact that peo-
pie generally think it's no work to
get out paper, says the Emporia
Gazette. One of the hardest jobs
every editor does-though the pleas
antest-is to read his exchanges. But
1t is hard work, and 1t must be done.
For the editor who gets day or two
black" In his exchanges never catch
es up. And: the ..thing that makes
him naddest, though he will look up
and greet the stranger with smile
who does 1t, is for a man to come In
saying: "Well, saw you sitting
there doing nothing but reading, SO I
thought I'd just pass the time of day
with you"
Remember, this, you who have
business with the editor: It's all
right to come In when he's reading or
writing or editing copy, but don't get
1t into your head that when he's
reading his exchanges you have come
In the idle hour. How can an editor
get any ideas II he doesn't read 9TH
er's ideas? Do you think he sits down
and thinks 'em out of his head? Well.
he doesn't. He reads q score OF pa
pers every morning, and from one or
two he gets suggestion or two.
Sometimes q vagarant item. pay
local, a Geographic head, an adver-
tisenent starts rich strain of sug-
gestions. But the sure way to wreck
the train and make your paper stupid
and insane is to come bustling in
when he is reading the exchanges.
He is doing the best work of his day.
S.-We have had plenty of just
such experience rs that related
above, at the hands Of the "Smart
Alexis" who breeze In with lin their
mind cunning salutation: Hello!
Nothing to do but occupy two chairs
and read newspapersT' But, as we
are growing bit cranky with ad-
vancing years, the smart ones are
not received with the same codiality
we extended. to all twenty-five or
more years ago; neither are they
given two chairs to sit on and the
floor to spit on. On the other hand,
those who have real business to at
tend to; attend to the same, and
make room for others on like pur-
poses bent, are received with a
courtesy that would make old Lord
Chesterfield turn over in his grave
and observe with feeling: II didn't
learn 1t all In my day."
