Heavy Vote for Return of Roads
ArouseS Interest at the Ma

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.

Washington.-The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. of
the editors giving it as their impartial
opinion hat the public favors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only II per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there is a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
L. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
about 20 per cent. as compared with
an increase in operating costs of from
so to 90 per cent.
2. Greater naturalization of public
control of transportation single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment in place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $500 900
to $1,000, 900 1000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail
road facilities.
How the States voted in the nation
al poll of editors on the question of
the return of the railroads to private
management is shown by the following
chart. That the railroad question is a
nOn-partisan issue is plain from a
study of the table:

Found Toads Deep Down,

While making an excavation on his
farm in Bald Eagle township, near
Lock Haven, Pa, and after digging
through hard red clay to a depth of
eight feet, Harry Eldred came upon
two good-sized toads in a small pocket
in the clay. On being exposed to the
air the ''hoppers' became quite lively.
No n eyer heard of toads wintering
under the ground to such a depth and
Farmer Eldred is greatly puzzled to
know how the toads got there and
how they managed to live. The facts
are vouched for by Farmer Eldred.

RAISING ~RATTLESNAKES
Find There Is a Good Living in a
Farm for That Purpose.

IL -
Farm for That Purpose.
The queerest farm In the Ozarks Is
that of Miss Rose Ahern and her
brother, Henry. Several miles up In
dian creek, in the heart of the rockiest
and toughest part of the hills and
bluffs, this brother and sister operate
what they call their diamond rattle
snake farm" And, being in a neigh
borhOod where snakes are plentiful,
they are doing a thriving business.
For three years the Aherns have
been following this business, and they
will probably have 300 or 400 snakes
this season. They expect to do far
better than ever before, now that the
wal has ended. The principal profits
come from the extracting of poison
from the rattlesnakes, which is sold at
high prices to doctors, chemists and
others. Physicians use this poison,
after it has been prepared in a scien-
tifc manner, for the treatment of cpl
lepsy and other diseases. 1t is known
as crOtalin.
They also get a good revenue from
the sale of live reptiles to museums
and travelling shows. The established
rate is 2 cents a pound. A large, fat
serpent usually brings several dollars.
The smaller, poorer specimens are
killed and rendered into oil, which
has a steady sale at 81 an ounce.

discovered more advanced principles of manu-
facture, more scientific mechanical skill in con-
construction-for which Americans cele-
brated-and more dependable tine-keeping
than could be found anywhere.
Here is one reason: The handspring is the
power of the watch. 1t is subjected to various
conditions of service in temperature and ten
sion. The variation in thickness of two one
thousandths of an inch or lack of uniformity
in hardening and tempering will decide the
time-keeping quality of your watch.
The American handspring, for example, is
cut from long rolls of uniform and special
quality steel. 1t is then tempered in RESILl-
EMIT form by secret process, and is placed
in the watch. coiled into HARDENED AND
TEMPERED STEEL BARREL.
The Swiss handspring is not only cut in
SHORT LENGTHS. but hardened and tenn
pered in SHORT LENGTHS. Therefore.
every Swiss handspring is of uncertain temper
and the watch is speculation from the buyers
point of view.
An American factory is the largest handspring
maker in the world q 4 tons per annum). The
Swiss watch assembler buys his mainsprings
in the open market and an inferior handspring
means an inferior watch-no matter what you
pay for it.

Smoking in tho Departments.

To the Editor Of The Star:
As q taxpayer I want to make my
protest through your influential COL
umns against the growing custom of
smoking in the government depart
ments. Scientific statistics, which l
have before me, from George Van
Ness Dearborn of Cambridge. Mass.
state that tobacco decreases both the
desire and the capability for doing
muscular work prebab by nicotine's
depression of the action of the motor
No man can do his job fully and earn
what he is paid for his full strength
during q given tirae when he Is in 2
state Of narcosis. q sort Of vartoloid
stage Of anesthesia. The worst Of 1t is
that when the atmosphere Of an ofiice
is filled with nicotine those who do
not use the tobacco are still more
affected. and here comes in . question
of fair play. A man may have q right
to smoke in his own time, where he
will not make others smoke; l will
not debate that question. though it Is
bound to do his best for his family
and for the world but certainly no
man has right to make others
smoke. and since great numbers of
people must spend large part of the
day at work those in charge should
see to it that they have pure. invig-
Grating air, which is the best possible
tonic.
