Washington, Jan. 29.-Freight con-

can not be cleaned up before the mid

based the conviction that it will take
at least six weeks more to set traffic
moving normally.
Even without the expected thaw
which may send rivers flooding above
their banks, officials say recovery
would be slow. Floods would make
conditions far worse. Preparations

Because of this situation both the

was said today that priority probably
would continue to be given fuel for
many weeks, and that general freight
would have to take its chances. Food
will have similar preference, ard
necessary materials and supplies for
war manufactures are to proceed un-
der the preference given such comno-
dites by Director General McAdoo's
recent order.
Hundreds of applications for special
consideration in supply of empty bCx
cars reached the railroad administra-
ton today and were referred to the war
or navy departments, which will de-
termine whether certain shipments
deserve preferential treatment.
1t is probable that no general en-
bargoes will be declared by Dire .tor
General McAdoo although individ ual
railroads will be given free hand in
refusing shipments whenever local
conditions make this course advisable.
The official embargo now prevailing
for three eastern trunk lines will rot
be lifted for several days.

Word reached railroad headquarters
today that railroads already had TAX
en- steps to discharge a number of at

THE SIBERIAN TIGER.

"From far up north in another land
did l come" said the Siberian Tiger.
"And l came with you,' said Mrs.
Siberian Tiger from her cage next
door.
Il came, too" said Master Siberipn
Tiger.
Now, Mr.. Tiger was always called
plain Tiger, and he liked that bet
ter than any other name. 1t seem
ed strong and simple to him. These
fancy names should be given only to
gile, he thought.
"rhe reason l am so big" said Tiger,
sis because l have lived in such cold
climate. And how | have loved it.
"Tigers VINO are born down here in
the zoo don't know what it is like to be
the tiger of the biggest size and kind
that comes.
"The cold weather makes US grow
They think it's winter here. but good
ness They don't know what winter
means"
Mr.. Tiger looked far out beyond his
cage. A few people were watching
him, but not many, for it was very
cold. They could not bear staying
outside. They wanted to look at the
animals who were indoors.
Tiger gazed far over the heads of
the people who did watch him. He
| didn't care for them at all He knew
of a land they had never been to, he
was sure of that. And he knew of
great and wild adventures such as
would have made their blood run cold.
Oh, how much he knew of another
life, far, far away from the ZOO and
its cages and it's keepers and its chill
dren who watched a fellow as though
he were peculiar, when he simply was
very fine and noble.
"They say" continued Tiger to Mrs.
Tiger and Master Tiger, who were in
cages on either side of him, ''that there
are no tigers who grow to the size
that we do. Look now at my coat of
thick, shaggy hair. Isn't it beautiful
| That's what d real winter has done
for me, several real winters.
'They look at me, these people, and
they shiver as they say to them
selves, How can those tigers live out
in their yardsY
"And they ask the keeper if we
won't freeze to death.
"The keeper has more sense than
most people. He knows that we want
to be out of doors all the time. That
is why our cages are out-of-door
cages. He has heard something of our
life where we came from. And he
tries to give US the same as nearly as
he cam"
HE would never put US inside
would he?" asked Master Tiger.
"Would he have the impudence and
impertinence to do such thing?'

Mr.. Serre suggests that the cult.

would not only prove of great advan.

would also be of great help to the
allies along the various battle fronts,
and that the Palma Christi could, in
cidentally, be planted where it would
form useful and temporary shade for
young cocoa and coconut trees. He
mentions that one of the chief fer
