- il upon which the InterIsland
Steam Navigation Company has been
operating Its steamship department,
the public utilities commission today
finished its Investigation of the big
shipping concern and delivered jointly
TO its officials its findings and its or
der to the company.
The investigation was started more
than year ago at a time when the
Inter-lsland Company announced a
new freight schedule. 1t is by far the
biggest investigation of the sort ever
held in the territory and has taken
hundreds upon hundreds Of pages of
typewriter testimony. -.
Every department of the company
was probed by the commission, often
times in hearings that fairly bristled
with figures and oftentimes too with
hot cross-fire between company and
commission members that gave a de-
cidedly interesting tinge to the whole
affair. -. ....... -.
During the investigation which was
started with Charles r. Forbes as
chairman, this official dropped out by
resignation and William T. Garden
took his place. The order to the com.
pany, which demands a return to the
former rates, is printed in full in to-
Avs issue. 1t is surprisingly brief
CT impressive. The conclusion fol-
lows: .....-
The above figures show that
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, Limited, us, and has
been, operating its steamship de-
partment at rate of profit that
is excessive, unreasonable and
unjust. ...:-r. =. r s.. ..
On September 1, 1916, the COM
pany issued new freight and
passenger tariff raising certain Of
the heretofore existing charges
for the carriage of freight and
passengers, which haise In rates
in the opinion of this commission
was unjustified, unwarranted and
unreasonable, and the commission
SO finds. In the opinion of the
commission not only was sair
raise in rates for the carriage of
freight and passengers unreason-
able and unjust, but certain of the
heretofore existing rates were
and are excessive, unreasonable
and unjust. The order Of the
commission will issue ordering
the Inter-lslSnd Steam Navigation
Company, Limited, o reduce all
charges for the carriage of passen-
gers and freight to not to exceed
the rates and classifications which
were in effect on the LIST day of
August, 1915, said ties to take ef-
feet on or before October Is, 1917.
"The commission further finds that
the accounting system adopted and at
present followed by the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co., Ltd, is unsatis-
factory and will prepare a system Of
accoul- ms to be followed by this
company.

Thomas Asche, reported today, has in

The body, dressed in the uniform OF

thousands of his compatriots.
Voluntary starvation is reported to
have been the immediate cause of
death, but hospital officials claim that
a post mortem examination showed
that there was food in the stomach,
and that death was in reality due to
complication of congestion Of the
lungs and heart trouble.

HEAVY TRAFFIC Is TEST
OF GOOD DRIVING

Heavy traffic is the true test Of
good driving. The expert never at
tempts to make speed through traf-
fic. She realizes that her own ex-
pert operation will not save her
from the mistakes of others, and SO
she never sees how closely she can
pass another car, but how much ex-
ira space she can give. She never
insists upon right-of-way because it
is legally hers. Safety first" is
much better than my rights first"
A good driver never passes an
other car without plenty Of warning.
The good driver never attempts to
pass when curve Immediately
ahead hides what may be coming
the other way. The good driver new
er passes the car in front when she
sees another car or cars against her
in the stream of traffic. The good
driver never tries to pass between
two cars, for a mistake by either
may mean a wreck in which she
may not be at all to blame. but
a wreck is a wreck.-Companion.

ALABAMA WAS A
ONE-CROP COUNTRY

1t was until Mrs. Mathis took hold
OF the farmers. Now there is an
other story to be told. In the
American Magazine writer says:
In sizing up the situation Mrs
Mathis soon uncovered one thing
that was radically wrong with Ala
bama. 1t was a 'one-crop' country.
Everybody seemed to think it would
be sacrilege to raise any crop other
than cotton. So straightway she
became an evangelist Of agricultural
diffusion.
This one-crop idea is all non
sense she preached at public meet
ings-for she had become, by this
time, a representative both OF the
State Department of Agriculture and
the State Bankers Association. We
can raise anything on the face OF
the earth that will grow in the tenn
perate zone. Here we send to Chi
cago, st. Louis and Kansas City for
our meat, for which we pay from
twelve to thirty cents a pound. and
we can raise the same meats at home
for from two to five cents a pound.
Then we send out west and buy hay
at fifteen dollars to twenty-six dol
lars a ton, when we can raise that
hay ourselves for one dollar and
fifty cents a ton. Why, We Alaba-
ma folks can do more fool stunts
to the square inch than any people
in America! We work ourselves to
death to keep from growing hay.

Lincoln Would Never Have Passed
An Efficiency Test.

There Is an editorial in the Feb
ruary issue OF the Woman's Home
Companion in which the writer says:
I'VE shudder to think what the YER
dict Of the efficiency would be upon
Lincoln. Why, the man had no sense
of money at all!-and to get the
money is, of course, the chief pur-
pose and end OF efficiency.
HE had worked hard for an av-
erage lifetime before he was elect
ed to the Presidency. Yet at his
Inauguration his entire fortune con-
sisted of his house and lot in SPRING
field. and a little wild land in Iowa,
granted to him for his services in
the Black Hawk War. A few years
later he is reported to have said:
81 now have about ten thousand dol
lars. / hope before I die to increase
it to twenty thousand dollars, which
is all the money any one man ought
to want"
"He seems actually to have had
the idea that money is merely in
cidental to the business of living,
not nearly so important as friend
ship, or a sense OF humor. or a clear
conscience. He assumed that after
man had enough to pay his debts,

What had happened to him? The

some of the lung tissue that you

Even when you practice deep
breathing exercises you probably do
not fill your entire lung capacity. At
least, so DR.. William Lee Howard
says in his interesting new book,
Breathe and Be Well.
