OFFICERS NEEDED FOR SHIPS.

The United States is facing a seri-
Gus problem in the lack of trained
officers for merchant ships. In this
connection the enlargement of the
state nautical training schools of
Massachusetts and New York is be-
ing urged. Each of these states
maintains school for officers for
the merchant service, with training
ship loaned by the navy. The train
ing ships are two obsolete 1,OOo-ton
gunboats and it is said that much
larger vessels are needed. So many
ships have been transferred to Amer
ican registry since the war began
that the president has been forced to
suspend the law requiring the officers
of American merchant ships to be
American citizens. AS soon as our
new ships begin to put to sea the
shortage will be more acutely felt
than ever.

HOLD A QUEER CONVERSATION
Blind Soldier Finds a Way to "TaIk"
With Man Who Had Lost Hear
ing on Battlefield.

How many of our readers have
heard of blind man and a dumb
man engaging in conversation? asks
London Tit-Bits. The truth Of the
following incident, however, is
vouched for by the blind man con-
cerned, who was formerly patient
at st. Dunstan's, the Regents Park
institution, where war heroes who
have sacrificed their sight in the
great fight for freedom are cared for
and taught trades which they can
suitably adopt in spite Of their sad
affection.
"The incident happened" says the
blind hero, Shortly after l arrived
home from st. Dunstan's last year.
| was out with some friends one eve
ming, and after a walk we made our
way to a place of refreshment. A
vacant seat was found for me next
to a deaf and dumb man. l had
known him for some years previous
to my blindness, and, naturally
enough, he wanted to communicate
with me.
'It was useless for him to write
on paper, as he generally did when
he wished to converse with those
who could see, but we both rose to
the occasion. | happen to know the
finger code Of speaking. | just told
hin that l could no longer see; bit
it was at first puzzIing to know how
he could reply. He promptly saved
the situation. With his fingers he
made the letters on my fingers, and
l was able to follow him quite easily.
Our ability to engage in converSa-
ton caused no little astonishment
to the other people present, for never
before had they seen blind man
and a deaf and dumb man in CONVEX
sation."

A oUEENLV ACT.

A very pretty story is related OF
the queen of Denmark. King Wal
demar and Queen Marie are good
skaters, like most Danes;, and one
day when, after long skate on the
ice, they stopped to rest, they no.
ticed a little boy who was vainly try
ing to put on his skates, On seeing
the royal couple, he took off his hat
and said: ooh, Queen Marie, can
you not help me put on my skates?"
The royal lady smiled, knelt down
on the ice and firmly fastened the
straps round the boys ankles. That
was a gracious act and meant more
than a similar act in this country.

ONE WAY TO CUT DOWN HEELS
Reform in Women's Footwear Must
Como Through Science, Not Leg
isiation, 1t Is Declared.

The attempt to legislate high heels
out of existence has failed. The
women, or rather the shrewd men
who make a profit by setting wom-
ems fashions, have triumphed. The
state senate killed the proposed
measure, says the Chicago Journal
regarding bill to limit the height
of heels.
1t deserved killing. If the shogun
of Japan, at the height of the power
of that military regime, could not
keep women from powdering their
faces, it is fairly safe wager that
the feeble executive powers of the
state of Illinois would prove utterly
unequal to the task of keeping wom-
en- from walking on their toes. The
law, if passed, would have been the
deadest kind of dead letter.
The way to cut down heels lies
through science, not through legisla-
tive halls. Take moving picture of
the wabbling, uncertain and most
ungraceful waddle of the woman
wearing three-inch heels and one Of
the free, graceful walk Of the wom-
an who has discarded such hobbies.
Show these contrasting pictures in
all the movie theaters for a few
weeks, and you will accomplish more
for rational shoe reform than all the
bills the legislature could pass 'twixt
this and doomsday. '~,.>.

OBSERVING THE BUSY BEES
One Writer Wonders Who BY Right
Should Be the Teachers and
Who the Learners.

Sitting for hours idle in the shade
of the apple tree, near the garden
hives, and under the aerial thorough
fares of those honey merchants,
sometimes when the monday heat
was loud with their minute industry,
or when they fell in crowds out of the
late sun to their night-long labors, |
have sought instruction from the
bees and tried to appropriate to my
self the old industrious lesson, L..
Pearsall Smith writes in the New
Republic.
And yet, hang it all, who by right
should be the teachers and who the
learners? For those peevish, over
toiled, utilitarian insects, was there
no lesson to be derived from the spec
tacle of me? Gazing out at ME with
their myriad eyes from their joyless
factories, might they not learn at
last-might l not finally teach them
"a wiser and more generous hearted
way to improve the shining hours? ?

on the mountain of gold because their
cash would buy them nothing.
Accordingly. centralized control of
all railroads, either by a pool of their
own, or by the federal government is
the only eXpedient. In one great sys-
tenn the roads could re-arrange prior
ity, could re-adjust routing could re-
wise their own ordering in such a way
that production of essentials could be
greatly increased, in the opinion of the
commission.
The commission's letter to congress
says that in addition to the pooling
and operating under one head it will
be imperative that the railroads be
granted substantial credits out of the
federal treasury.
Should the government take over
the entire American railroad system,
the vested interests of individual
owners of railroad securities would
be protected by provision for the guar
antee of payment of interest and divi-
dends, the commission says.
The commissions letter reviews the
history of American railroading and
points out that the European war has
made il imperative to completely re-
verse the theory of regulation.
In the past. it is pointed out, all
legislation, state and federal, has been
directed to the fostering of keen COM
petition, and the prevention of just
such pooling as now is recommended.
This reversal of policy must be ac-
companied by appropriate legislation
which viii prevent the punishments
of the existing antitrust laws from
falling upon the railroads. A sus-
pension of these laws must be ar
ranged.
1t is made plain by the commission
that it's recommendation is distinctly
war measure. 1t is stated clearly
that the vital industries of the coun-
try, engaged in turning out the mu-
nitiOns of war, are wholly dependent
upon the railroads. For that reason
nothing must be left undone which
would increase the efficiency of the
railroad machinery.
In his dissenting memorandum,
Commissioner McChord says that if
the president under the powers given
him in the act of April 20, 1916, does
not see fit to take over and operate
the railroads, congress should, on it's
own initiative, enact legislation Gre
ating some central body to administer
the railroad lines, at least, for the pc
riod of the war.
In justification of its revolutionary
recommendation, the commission says:
Since the outbreak of the war in
Europe and especially since this
country was drawn into that war. IL
has become increasingly clear that
unification in the operation of our
railroads during the period of con-
flict is indispensable to their fullest
utilization for the national defense
and welfare. They must be drawn,
like the individual. from the pursuits

coming in almost daily to Jean Bist-
line, of Pocatello, president of last

hung in conference headquarters un-
til the closing session of the confer

night will hold some surprises for the

w ASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Amer
can railroad system must be con-
scripted This is the verdict of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
that body's answer to the railroads
petition for a general advance of Is
DER cent in freight rates.
In a special communication trans
nitted to the congress today, the COM
mission declares that one of two
Kings must be done to put American
railroads on an operating basis that
-srili expedite the winning of the war;
First-The pooling of every rail
road in the country into one NAM
moth system, to be operated under
Ehe direction of some central body to
be designated by congress, and the
temporary suspension OF antitrust
laws now prohibiting such mergers.
Second-The taking over of the en-
IRE American railroad system by the
president and its operation as a war
measure.
Speedy action is demanded by the
commission. This is no time for
ttempOrizingT the letter states.
Commissioner McChord, who has
mad charge of the car shortage in
vestigation and who has worked with
he railroads dissents from the ma
iOrity OF the commission as to that
DQILlOu Oi us WHICH
would permit the railroads to form
their own operating pool. His expert
ence has demonstrated, he says. that
the government must take absolute
control as no voluntary committee of
rhe railroads will work tremendously
and effectively.
In view of the letter of the commits
sion. the railroads may expect no in
crease in railroad rates in response
20 their petition for a general advance.
The letter makes it clear that the com
mission has concluded the time has
come to put a stop to the Vicious
circle" of increases whereby in the
past wage increases have been fol-
bowed by rate increases and rate in
creases again followed by further
wage increases.
The commission points out that 1T
would be useless to give the railroads
more revenues at this time and they
would not be able to make proper use
Of the funds. The commission also
points out that the cost of living is
so high and the governments own
demands for money so great that the
public could not find spare cash to
put into railroad securities, no matter
NOW good their credit might be. Furth-
ermore. il is stated that the railroads
cannot now make further improve
ments in tracks, yards and terminals
because labor is fully employed at
present and it is impossible to obtain
new cars, new steel supplies or any
new equipment. In short, the COM
mission says that if the railroads to-
day had unlimited cash they would be
ike the man who starved to death
