In 1914 the Union Pacific YSystem
announced its intentioha stoesdiscont
tinue the interchange with the D. 81
r. G. at Ogden of passenger business
to or from points on the Oregcn
Short Line-a part. of the Union Pal
cific system The D. & R. G. conf
tended that as these rates had beenl
in effect about eighteen years theyi
should not be caneelled. The Jnionl
Pacific 4stoods upon what it regarded
as its legal right to retire from an
arrangement which short-hauled its
own lines and commended that it was
entitled to the long haul on passen-
ger traffic to and from territory sery-l
ed by the oregon Short Line. The
principal reason assigned being the
large expenditures made by. the Union
Pacific in the construction of branch
lines - particularly to Yellowstone
Park and III Oregon Short Line terri
tory, the testimony Indicating that in
recent years were GA
pended in the construction of
branches for the purpose of enabling
the Union Pacific to serve Idaho and
adjacent territory, while the D. & r.
G. on the other hand had not invest

Commissioner HaTlan in announc-
ing the majority ofaion of the COM

In addition to- tie shorter mileage
the service of the Union Pacific in

The situation before us is very
practical one, The Denver and Rio

out, is longer by nearly 400 miles, and
is 19 hours longer in point of time.

The Making of Drug Hdbaues

IT HERE II ample evidences that
a craving for alcohol Ia trans.
mltted from parent 20 child.
Certain Il n that the pcrnicioua
practice Of giving children and young
adults alcoholic beverages In tho
Cnieo OF medicine tends 10 estab-
lish a desire for alcohol "a a drink.
OF course the parent who likes alco-
hol finds many excuses for admins.
toring the stuff as a "stimulant,
'tonic,' warming or cooling
drink-none Of which Il Is In fact.
But whence comes tho desire for
opium. morphin and similar drugs.
which SO many unfortunates develop
carly In life?
We know Of one very common
cause, and that Is tho use Of
nostrums containing small quantities
of those narcotics In the course of
infancy and childhood. There arc
soothing syrups" galore, laden with
opium and mOrphin; cough cures"
by the score with a never-failing
Knockout dose OF opium. morphin,
codcin or hcroin concealed In
their alluring depths; headache
tablets and powers Incorporating
coal tar narcotics or a~nalgcsics like
%ncetanilid. ~phcnacetin, acctphencti-
din and the like. These pleasant
dopes go a long way toward estab-
fishing a dependence or reliance
upon the sense-deadening power OF
drugs. Where the conscienccless
doctor makes one morphin flend
with his too ready hypodermic
syringe, these popular nostrums
make hundreds Of drug habitues.
In the United States the So
called Pure Food and Drugs Act OF
June 80, 1906" gives no defence
against the incorporation OF narcotic
drugs In patent medicines. II sim.
ply requires that the amou,t OF tho
narcotic shall be printed on the
label. so that you may know how
much dope you are taking for your
trivial symptoms.
The more recent anti-narcotic law

determined. For example. nine
words OF most frequent uso. viz.
"tho." I'm" so" mo" nov"

spelled correctly nincty-four per
cent. OF these words. At the other
extreme OF the scale the words
Judgment" recommend" and al

rectly by just nifty per cent. Of
oighth-grado pupils. Percentages
above and below these would indi.
cate variations from the normal In
spelling.
Or. Ayrcs finds that intellectual
abilities are distributed I'm much the
same way among people as are
physical traits. Just as there arc
few dwarfs, many people OF medium
height, and very few giants; 80 there
are very few exceedingly poor spell
ers, many medium ones. and very
few excellent ones. Few words do
most Of our work when we write.
Fifty words constitute, with their
repetitions. one.half Of the words
written. Tho child who masters the
1000 words on the scale given will
