BIRDS PROVE TRUE
 FRIENDS OF FARMER
Sparrow Consumes One-Fourth Ounce of Noxious Weed Seed
 in Course of Day.

A tree sparrow is said to consume one-fourth of an ounce of injurious weed seeds a day, and weed seeds constitute three-fourths of the diet of the song sparrow. Quail. bobo- links, blackbirds. some of the larks and wild ducks are among the birds that are valuable to farmers as de- stroyers of noxious weed seeds.
 The government has estimated that the American sparrow family alone saved farmers sS0.26O,000 in 1910 by keeping down the spread of weeds.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-A new policy
Of government railroad regulation,
based on constructive principles of

Of upon principles of repression and
punishment, was urged by Alfred L.
Thorn. counsel for the Railway Execu-
tives' Advisory Committee, the first
witness on behalf of the railroads be-

tuted "A general inquiry into the prob

The railroads accept the view that reg

that the first duty of the carriers Is to
the public. That duty Is to afford
reasonable facilities on reasonable
terms and at reasonable rates. and this

Certainty, Safety and suHieienoy.
Mr.. Thorn %contended that the real in

of certainty. safety and suficiency Of
transportation facilities. rather than in
rates. The first consideration of the
public is to obtain transportation facili

First, Railroad revenues are not

mental authorities. which do not recog
nize responsibility for assured results
to investors and are uncoordinated.
Second. Railroads cannot control
and the government cannot and does
not limit the expense account.
Third, The present system of regu-
lation is based on a policy Of regulation
and correction and not on a policy Of
helpfulness and encouragement.
Fourth. The outstanding obligations
of the railroads have already exceeded
the financial rule Of safety and involve
a disproportionate amount Of ohliga-
tions bearing fixed charges.
Fifth, The investor must accept n
subordinate obligation or security with
no assurance Of Il surplus of earnings
to support it.
"Sixth. Other competitive lines Of in

Seventh, The railroad business is

Look Forward, Not Back.

MFR. Thorn, "hut we cannot debate about

has taken the view that we must look

order to deal helpfully and intelligent

no more prevalent in the railroad bust
ness today than in any other business

said that such conditioning weakens him during the crucial autumn eAmes but some of Cobh's closest friends. who live in Detroit, assert that he will be in that Dallas series, If he has to walk from Georgia.
 kauff has never played in Detroit but numerous stories have come to the Tiger camp concerning his ability. For mer Detroit stars, who were with Federal league clubs last season. have generally declared that Kauff is one of the greatest batteIs they have ever seen. They have not been inclined to class Kauff with Cobb as a base run ner: they have said that Cobb "Iroba- bly" is a bit more dangerous at bat, because of his versatility, but they all, seemingly, have been ready to take issue with any declaration that kauff is not the greatest natural batsman in the game.
 Local writers and followers of the Detroit club, who have regularly watched Cobb in action, have pointed out that his greatest feats have been achieved against clubs or individual players of championship calibre. few of these, which have helped make baseball history, follow:
 Scoring from first base on single and scoring from second on Il sacrifice fly tp center field, in the same series, against the Philadelphia Athletics, who then were worlds champions.

DETROIT, Mich, March ,-Official announcement recently that the De

 Ty Cobb, Detroit's centerfield. who has grown to regard the premier bat ting honors of the American league as personal property, will have his first opportunity to match his skill and wits with those of Benny kauff.

 If 1t is accepted it will be after a dem

But for the man who buys ball players for the actual good they can do his team, the Lane system is the only one in fact, it is the Lane system, not reduced to actual mathe- matics that influences the wise mag rate-not the boob plan of the old 1 batting averages.
