A few minutes later Dick heard the

ANOTHER REGULATORY BoBBLE

According to the railroads operating
in Missouri, the order of the Missouri
public service commission authorizing
an increase in passenger fares to u
cents a mile contains such a singer
that the roads will not be able to ac-
cept 1t. The singer is the inter
changeable and negotiable mileage
books at 2 cents a mile that the COM
mission thinks the railroads should
issue. The railroads claim that their
losses through such a mileage book
system would more. than offset any
gains that might come to them
through the increased fares. 1t is
only fair to assume that the railroads
know what they are talking about, and
that therefore the Missouri public
service commission made a bobble in
its efforts to adjust the passenger
fares IN that state to a reasonable
basis. And this seems to be a rather
common failing with most of the
bodies of this sort in all of their reg
ulatory endeavorS.

On the Spur

The Outcome.
His overcoat all trimmed with fur
Sure made an awful hit with her
His touring car was just immense.
He didn't care about expense.
He bought her jewelry galore,
About all they had in the store.
He took her out to dine at night.
The menu cost one buck a bite.
He kept this up about two years.
He'd spent some money, it appears.
And then one night he had the sand
To ask the lady for her hand
She handed him kindly NO
And then she wed another DO,
Who'd saved his dough.

Probably DR.. Charles, the head of
the Boys Industrial institute, is right
in his observation that juvenile delin-
quents generally have small mental
capacity, but it is also true that much
juvenile delinquency is due to parental
neglect of children and a lack of a
proper home environment for them.
