JITNEY WAR IN TACOMA.

Tacoma, Wash, March 24.-War has
broken out in the ranks Of the iitney
bus drivers here. When an unorgan.
lied auto bus began operating on Cen.
tor street today, tno organized drivers
assigned three free buses on that
thooughfare.
The organized machines follow the
independent buses and attempt to Sc.
cure passengers at street corners, cnr.
rying them free of charge.
"We are determined" " said one of
the organized drivers, 'to bring all
iitney drivers into our organization.
We win either bring them in or put
them out Of business The association
is paying for our gasoline and allowing
us wages for our time in the fight with
the unorganiaed drivers"

One OF the oldest schools for girls
IN the American continent is the Col
egio de la PEE in Mexico City. This
vas founded by wealthy Spaniards in
1882 for the benefit of the children Of
he poorer classes. The building was
designed after the royal palace in
Madrid and covers nearly five acres of
ground. The original name was the
Colegio de San Ignacio. About eight
hundred girls are usually in the col

The bureau of statistics of the Phil
ippine government is making study
of plant known to the natives as
"cambon" or "gaubuen," which pro-
duces camphor. This is one of che
most common weeds in the Philip,
pines, growing from five to eight feet
high. 1t has a stem that is almost
woody in texture, and has long been
used by the natives of the Philippines.
as well as by the natives of China, for
medical purposes. The Chinese, in
parts of the Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces, already distill considerable
camphor from the plant, the chief
drawback to its more extensive use
being the amount of labor required to
obtain the gum. The bureau of for
estry at Manila, according to the COM
merce reports, is introducing the ordi-
nary camphor tree of China and Japan
into the mountain districts of Luzon IN
large numbers for the purpose of
building up the future camphor pro-
duction of the islands.

says London Chronicle. The daily

2,472, the weeklies 1920, and the
monthly and other publications bring
the total up to 22,S06. The combined
circulation of these is about 100000,
or enough to provide a daily paper, a
weekly paper and monthly magazine
for every family in the country. There
is a newspaper to every 4,10O of the

there is one for every 47OO; in
France, one for every $500, and in

Danger of LockiaW In Felt,

That commercial gelatin, charcoal
and other substances useful in medi-
cine and surgery may contain the
germs of lockjaw is well known.
Quite recently it was found that felt
so commonly used in orthopedic reten-
tive dressings may also contain these
germs in abundance. Two patients
who had been treated at a German
hospital lost their lives as a result of
infection from the felt plates used to
make a retention support.

A certain great man who has writ
ten largely on the marriage question
has declared it to be his opinion that
If the state were to make 1t harder
to get married individuals would find
it more difficult to get unmarried, or
divorced. The adoption of some such
policy, he thought, would mean that
marriage would come to be regarded
seriously once more; it would drop
from its now prominent position In
the jest books of the day and become
again sacred rite celebrated with
gusto and natural sincerity which
characterized the affair in certain an
cient times. Whatever may be the
ultimate and finally satisfactory form
of marriage, it is plain that society
is today working along the lines in
dicated by the reformers and making
1t increasingly difficult to slip under
the yoke. The last annual report of
the National League for the Protec-
tion OF the Family is the most recent
serious document bearing on this top
ic, and its evidence is of considerable
interest. One learns, for example,
that no less than thirty-four states
have by law made restrictions ON the
ground of insanity, lunacy, want Of
understanding" or will to consent"

WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT?

Government-owned ships, run
at a loss, are necessary for the pro
lection of the American farmer
from high rates on wheat to
Europe, according to the presl-
dent and the secretary OF the
treasury, says the Public Service
Magazine. But it does not appear
that the farmer is being called on
to pay the carrying charges. When
ocean rates were four cents a
bushel, wheat was sold at so cents
a bushel in Chicago, and when the
price Of wheat in this country is
81 As a bushel, with a prospect OF
an 7""nce, to 50, it is difficult to
u4.oi and how the 20-cent rate
9i M Atlantic carriers is hurting
the farmer.
The fact is that the European
buyers of wheat are paying the
freight. Whether the rate is four
cents or twenty cents does not
concern the American producer
because it is merely added to the
price paid for the wheat. The
statement that the government
must spend millions of the peo-
pies money in the interest Of the
farmer is misleading at best, for
while Europe is willing to pay
abnormal prices for wheat deliv-
cred in this country the farmer.
wants neither sympathy nor gov
ernment-owned ships.
