proved the mobilization committee
plan for direction of Great Lakes
shipping. This. system is the out
growth of the withdrawal OF tonnage
from the lakes for ocean-going traf-
fic., Representatives of big coal, iron,

tee could make the shipping supply
much more efficient IL it had absolute,
rather than advisory powers.
Today the executive committee OBJ
tained the sanction of the Shipping
Board, which is willing the mobiliza-
tion committee shall have full charge
Of Great Lakes tonnage problems. A.
M. Smith. Eastern regional director
Of railroads, also has approved the
plan, which now awaits only the
sanction Of Director General McAdoo.

two years seem as long as five

told the court,
John must be a regular Turk
He's done everything. Gertie said,

He looked innocent enough, John
did. No one would think by looking
at his that he ever did such things
But Gertie had several witnesses

She would rather lose his weekly

stood on the corner waiting for a car.
Cora is not Scottish-she is rather
dark
When the car came Cora made a
quarterback dash through the wait

Her elbow went into a mans ribs
! and he pushed Cora aside.
Angered. Cora pushed back and ac-
cidentally showed a woman on the
car.
Then she rushed inside. The con-
ductor called her down and reminded
her that she was on a street car.
This peeved Cora worse than ever.
She gave the conductor and a couple
of others a piece Of her mind.
She swore something terrible. The
woman passengers on the car got
out the gas masks and ear muffiers.
There was only one thing for the
conductor to do-and he did it-he
put Cora off the car.
She swore some more. Policeman
Martin grabbed her and allowed her
to finish the cuss-fest in a cell.
The court told her to shell out SO.
