WENT COLONEL ONE BETTER
Occasion When laxative Old Bore
Met More Than His Match at
the Club.

Several and various were the uncOm-
plimentary EXPLANATIONS heard when
the talkative Col. Cholmondeley Fitz-
Fulke strolled into the Back-to-Nature
club one evening just in time to hear
discussion going on about the crows
winning of the war.
"Haw!" laughed the colonel RENT
niscently. Speaking of crows re-
minds me of the time my father made
a scarecrow out of me, egad!"
"Was it your father that did IT
colonel?" asked Charlie Smithers.
smilingly, followed by smoker
among the members.
'Er-ah-yes. You see, the crows
in our cornfield became so used to our
regular scarecrow that they grew
quite fond of him. And they used To
bring him grains Of corn and deposit
them in his pockets and corncob pipe
1t was quite a beautiful and heart,
melting sight. gentlemen" and the
colonel f1icked q sentimental tear from
his eyeglass.
well, conceived the idea of max
ing a scarecrow that would smite the
crows and chase them away, donche-
know. So father decided to dress me
up in some old tattered rags and have
me smite them. And, bah JOve,
frightened them so bally bad that they
didn't return for year, and then it
was after they had seen me go
abroad" concluded the colonel, pick
ing up Charlie Smithers' glass and
emptying it's contents.
Huh That's nothing" said Char
lie. "My father made scarecrow so
fierce looking that seven of our
crows that had stolen ten bushels of
corn came back the next day and put
every one back!"
It was several minutes before the
colonel could control himself sufil-
GENTLY to walk out amid the roar that
arose.

Mount Vernon Unchanged.

Mount Vernon stands today exactly
as it was when General Washington
was living; the trees a little larger
grown, but the garden and the lawns,
the houses and barns and stables and
great vistas precisely as he would
have had them, and it might well be
imagined that his spirit broods over
these scenes of his earthly happiness
with fine approval of the devoted serv-
ice of his countrywomen in keeping
alive here the lamp of chivalry in the
souls Of men.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1s, 1919.
SURFACE LINE EARNINGS TAKE A
BIG JUMP UPWARD,

Business is booming for investors In
street car stocks. The earnings of
the Chicago Surface lines for Septem.
Der, under a I cent fare, increased
sl,259.276 over earnings for the same
month in 1918, according to the month
~ report of the companies. which will
be submitted to the public utilities
commission.
The report was placed in the hands
of Special Assistant Corporation Coun.
sci Chester Z. Cleveland.
Meanwhile expenses of the lines in
creased s767,0i2. The net receipts for
the month (the fund, which is divided
in q proportion Of 55.45 between the
city and the companies after interest
and some other minor charges are de-
ducted) is s1,119,672, according to the
report.
Taking the figure $1,119,672, the net
receipts of the company for the month,
which are practically the same as the
net profits, Mr.. Cleveland last night
figured out some tabulations on the
percentage earnings Of the companies
under cent fare charge.
In working out the tabulations, he
took the three valuations, which have
been set variously upon the companies
properties - the 1857 100000 agreed
valuation set up in the 1907 ordinance
the s113,00O,000 valuation which the
public utilities commission virtually
set upon the companies properties
when It declared si4,000,000 of theil
assets to be water" and the $4,000,
900 valuation which the companies
themselves have set up before thu
board of review as basis OF taxation
On the basis of the first valuation
Mr.. Cleveland finds, the earnings o
the companies were S.5 per cent. o.
the basis of the second the earning
were found to be 11.9 per cent, and OF
the basis Of the third 1853 per cent.
