ASK MORE FUNDS TO COMPLETE R. R.
 VALUATION WORK

Washington, Nov 29.-Congress will
 be asked for another $3,500,OOO appro-
 priation for physical valuation of in-
 terstate railroads, with a view to com
 pletion of all field operations in three years from next January and wind up of all the work a year later, Charles A. Prouty, director of physical valua- tion, announced today. MT. Prouty said the total cost will be kept within the original estimate of s15,OOO, 900 to $20, ,000 GOO.
 Valuation experts are at work in various parts of the country. The field work has been completed on the Boston & Maine, Rock Island and Pere Marquette, the Union Pacific lines west of Salt Lake City and the Southern Pacific except it's New Mex ico and Texas lines, and is nearly fin ished on the New Haven, Great North ern and Illinois Central Work is we'll advanced on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh and is progressing on its lines east of Pittsburgh, the Santa Fe, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and other roads.
 So far reports have been made on five roads, all of lesser importance Valuations of the big transconttnental lines will be delayed until the inter state commerce commission, of which the valuation service is a part, passes upon questions relating to overhead charge, allowances for contingencies, interest during construction work, what constitutes reasonable prices and other elements of value. When these are determined, the reports will be each road being allowed 30 days to make protest and present ar guments before final establishment of No hearings are likely before the end of January. It is ex- pected that the Great Northern and Rock Island will be the first of the more important lines to be reported upon.

Middle West Interpretation

The real meaning of the election is that the ordinary man is having a show says the Milwaukee Journal. The big interests stay out of the saddle. That is. their own testimony in the millions they put up to. defeat President Wilson. Now that is set tied and the country is to find out where it stands.
 There is not great deal more busi- ness legislation to be enacted. The tariff is to have it's chance, and, giv- en a chance, will work itself out. Des- perate talk of the country's going to ruin from wrong theory has always been foolish. It proceeds on the prin- cip1e that the people are willing to ruin themselves. They are not. If it Is proved to them that there is no happiness except in guaranteeing big profits to great corporations and shouldering the load, they will do it. They are a deal more to be trusted than the interests that profit from high schedules have ever shown them selves to be.
 Enough regulatory legislation has been passed for the people to digest There will be doubtless corrections here and there. Omissions will be dis covered. Some social problems are to ee met. But the whole volume of this is not large. The great thing is that the work of the past four years Is not to be undons until it has been proved. We are to have a good time for taking stock Of ourselves; we are het to begin f1ysterieal1y overthrow Ing everything before anyone has had & real opportunity to judge what is good or bad,

 Gaboury's plea that he was drink ing that that it was his companion, a New York youth, who was crank ing the machine and intended to drive 1t away. failed to excuse his conduct.

Two Months In Jail
 Given Prisoner Who ,s Tried to Make Escape

Thomas Harris, a lodger in the Bridgeport house, who was arrested charged with carrying concealed weapon, and attempted to escape from the city court dock by vaulting the court rail, yesterday morning, when his case had been continued, was given two months in jail by Judge Frederic Bartlett this morning.
 Harris told a story yesterday about owning teams and having to carry the weapon to protect his property. Judge Bartlett continued the case until this morning to investigate the truth of Harris story. The story was found entirely false.
 When court adjourned he leaped the rail of the dock, rolled over the court room floor with the Italian in- terpreter, Pasquale Minor, who grab bed him to block his escape and was returned to a cell by Court Officer F'innegan. In view of Harris actions yesterday the court said, "I can't find the least reason for leniency in this case. Two months in jai1."

AMERICAN FLAG
 IS KEPT ALOFT
 AS SHIPS SINKS
Captain of Chemung, Sunk by Submarine, HOiSts Stars
 and Stripes.

Paris, Nov. 29-The American steamer Chemung has been sunk by a submarine torpedo off Cabo de Gata (Cape Gata), on the Andalusian coast of Spain.
 The Chemung went to the bottom with the American flag flying from her masthead. Her American com mander, Capt. John l.. Duffy, refused to strike his colors, although ordered to do so by the officer in charge of the submarine, and Duffy's crew backed him up with stubborn resis- tance, declaring that, if their ship had to be><.1nk, it would go down with the flag waving.
 And so it was. Although they were angry at the commander of the submersible for this incident of the f1af, and also for other reasons, the twenty-four men of the Chemung' s crew had the satisfaction as they went off in their small boats, of seeing the Stars and Stripes in it's place as the waves engulfed their ship.
 All of the crew were saved. They took their places in two lifeboats, af- ter being carried for a distance in the submarine. Then, after a time on the open sea, they were picked up by the Spanish steamer Giner and landed at Valencia, Spain. #
 Capt. Duffy soon afterward gave a detailed report of the holding-up and sinking of his ship to the American Consul at that port, John R. Put nam.
 According to a cablegram received by the State Department at Washing ton last night from Consul Putnam it was an Austrian submarine which halted and then destroyed the Che mung, alth ough the news cables from Paris speak of her German com mander.")
 Capt. Duffy told Consul Putnam, according to the despatches received here from Valencia, that, after his ship was halted, the men of the sub- marine went about their work as rap idly as possible. Duffy and his crew were told to get into their small boats at once.
 The captain asked for time to ob- tain his ships papers and for his men to go below and get their money and valuables. This was refused, he de- clared.
 The German commander" gave or ders, just before the Chemung's men got into their boats, that the American flag be lowered German sailors" the despatches say, prepared to put this order into effect. What is de- scribed as "a lively incident" follow ed
 Stubborn resistance was offered by Duffy and his sailors. Then-so rap idly were preparations to sink the boat advancing-the attempt on the part of the invaders to strike the flag were abandoned, and Capt. Duffy and his men were taken aboard the sub- marine.
 } A torpedo was launched against the side of the Chemung from a short distance. She did not go down rap idly, so three shells were fired into her.
 Then she filled and went to the bot tom
 When the Spanish steamer was sighted, the Chemung's men were put into their small boats, which had been lowed by the submarine, and the lat ter submerged and disappeared.

ARE SUCH GIRLS HARD TO
FIND?-Why is it that a young man
like me does not enjoy life more?
Why don't 1 know some young ladies
with whom it would be interesting
to take walks, go to picnics, con-
certs or theaters?
Perhaps I have as many chances
as anybody and it is only that l am
too particular; or is it that a man
with my character and way Of think
ing does not appeal to women?
A friend said to me: you must
never tell them the truth, but a
whole lot of lies; that is what they
want. The more you can dupe them
the better. Tell them you have an
automobile or that you are the su-
perintendent Of a factory. That they
will later find out about your deceiv-
ing them makes no difference; then
you have got them"

Am I too serious or are the girls
too silly?

a young woman must be a lady, in
