Rail Men Ask Wilson To
Force Down Living Cost
Inv Associated PresSl

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The alter
native of governmental action to force
down the cost of living or of demand
by the railroad engineers of the coun-
try for another increase in wages was
presented to President Wilson today
by Warren S. Stone, grand chief Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and members Of the brotherhoods ad-
vesory board.
Detailing conclusions reached by the
advisory board ct it's recent meeting
in Cleveland. Mr.. Stone in prepared
statement read to the President, de-
clared that while the railroad engine
ers found themselves "obliged again
to request an increase to meet the
mounting cost of living" they were
of the opinion that the true remedy
for the situation and one that will
result in lifting the burden under
which the whole people are struggling
is for the government to take some
adequate measures to reduce the cost
of the necessaries of life to a figure
that the present wages and income OF
the people will meet"
The brotherhood board outlined nc
plan of action for the government tc
take beyond saying 1t was believed
that this situation is brought abou,
mainly by constituencies proflteering
by the great interests who have Sc
cured control Of all the necessaries
of life"

MISERY MOTHERED
"JAzz," RHYTHMIC
ENEMY OF BLUES

There is a story that as far back as
twenty years ago blind newsboy,
known to his particular gang in Now
Orleans as stale Bread" felt the
creep Of the blues" coming on him.
Misery and melancholy overwhelmed
him. for he had little Of the soul Of
an artist. which Is generally supposed
to be sad. He translated the blues"
on a fiddle acquired from a passing
minstrel show and trebled his daily
sale of newspapers by the crowd he
attracted.
One day he hit upon a new kind Of
music. music SO wild and swinging
and nerve twisting that it was able to
drive away his sadness. To that music
the name Jazz" was ultimately ap-
piled. Anyone who doesn't care for
Jazz" is privileged to remember that
deal when he invented 1t.
However Jazz" has drifted out of
the tango belt of New Orleans in a
triumphant, blaring, screeching ascent
into the ball room and restaurants OF
the cultured. Joseph X. German, said
to be the Daddy of jazz" who directs
the Gorham Revue at the Silhouette
Gardens, Electric Park. is unable to
give a precise definition of the word
Jazz" The nearest he comes to the
verb ito jazz" is Ito mess 1t up and
slap it on thick
Spread Like Wiidhre.
Gorham took 'jazz" to Chicago Ave
years ago after he had discovered il
in New Orleans, where he had gone tc
direct the Granewald winter amuse
ment features. No. long after his ar
rival in New Orleans he was halted or

group of performers operating instru
ments identified by their appearance

DIPTHER|A MAY
Be FORERuNNER OF
INFLUENzk-KINSEY

That the present prevalence in the
city of diphtheria, sore throat, and
tonsilitis, while not serious in itself.
may be an indication of the near re-
turn of the influenza. is the opinion
of Dr. J. H. kinsey, city health Off
Ger.
There is nothing to be alarmed about
in the situation, yet, however, DR.. Kin
sey said. Only one death has result
ed from diphtheria. and as fast as
cases are discovered they are being
quarantined.
Although it is supposed to be more
Of a children's disease, adults have
made most of the cases so far, he
said.
People are warned. however, to take
the best possible care Of themselves,
so that if the present situation is real
ly the fore-runner of an influenza cpl
demic, the city may be in the best
possible condition to meet it, the
health officer said.
Doctors have reported cases Of sore
throat as diphtheria. says DR.. Kinsey.

WIRES CONTROL
BY US. TO BE
ENDED TONIGHT
Orders for Return to Private
Owners Given by Burleson
Takes Parting Shot.
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 31-Govern-
ment control Of telegraph and tele-
phone properties will end at midnight
tonight Orders for their return to
private owners were issued Wednes-
day by Postmaster General Burleson
as required under resolution adopted
by Congress and signed by President
Wilson ten days ago.
Mr.. Burleson in q statement accom-
panying his order, said sound public
opinion ultimately would determine
how this trust has been met" and
that he was content to abide by the
result. Besides this reply to criti-
cisms Of his management of the wire
companies. the postmaster general al
30 took a parting shot at the Postal
Telegraph Company, most OF the Of
ficers of which we're removed sever
al months ago because of what he
termed interference with government
management.
The postmaster general did not men,
ton the company by name, but said
that with one notable exception, the
reason for which Is thoroughly under.

Ratio War May Follow.
Under the resolution of Congress
directing the return Of the compan-
les. government-fixed intrastate tele-
phone rates are to remain In force for
a period of four months, unless soon
er changed by state commissions. but
no provision was made as to telegraph
rates. Clarence H. Mackay, presi-
dent of the Postal Company. in urging
Congress to provide for speedy return
of the properties, said his company
could reduce rates 20 per cent and
still earn profit.
This statement was recalled in con-
nection with the return Of the prop.
critics and rate war between the
telegraph companies was viewed in
some quarters as a possibility. Tele-
graph rates were increased approx
mately 20 per cent last March to in
crease salaries of operators and 9TH
er employees and meet rising costs OF
materials.

SILLY NOTES, OLD
BOOKS, ARE FOUND
IN H. s. LOCKERS

Silly notes, oh very silly. worn out
sweaters, old gym MILDLY blouses and
boomers, and unloved school books
were what the housekeeping janitors
of the Richmond high school found
when they did their annual summer
once over the school lockers.
Soothing bits Of molly coddle, high
school youths and maidens exchange
and then leave for the eyes of elders
who head 'em with amusement. The
high school lockers are a vertiable
hidden garden of spring fever and it's
a wonder the lockers don't burst with
all the high explosive promises they
contain according to the janitors.
One Of the most favorite final uses
| of a book which was a faithful but
unloved friend during the proceeding
semester is the unlocked locker at the
| end OF the term. In times past, some
commercially minded youths used to
make a habit Of going about gather
ing up discarded books for sale, at
the end Of the semester, says head
janitor DINGHY of the high school.
DINGHY says. they guard against this
kind of business as much as possible,
so that the rightful owner Of the book
at least has an opportunity to sell it.
But" he said, how geometries,
histories, and Latin books certainly
are wretchedly treated when final ex-
ans are over. One fears for the popu-
larity Of the subjects"
| Worn out and unsanitary appearing
garments are found discarded in the
