The commissioner discovers that Brazil

5rhs Keynote to Prosperity

The magnitude and complexity Of
the business of the United States is
such as " make our transportation
system the key to our prosperity. Not
only domestic trade, but foreign trade
Us well, depends upon continuous op-
Grafton of the railroads. In scarcely
any line of enterprise can an individual
or corporation make a contract for the
performance of future acts unless de-
pendence can be had upon regular rail-
road traffic. No man engaged in con-
struction can undertake the erection of
a building unless he knows that. his
supply OF lumber, hardware, lime and
paint will be available when desired.
No dealer in grain or flour sor feed
can undertake obligations for delivery
of those commodities unless he knows
that trains will be In operation to bring
him supply from the original sources
OF production. No exporter Of Ameri-
can commodities to foreign markets
can bind himself to supply the needs of
foreign buyers unless he knows that
the railroads which bring the COM
modities from the interior to the sea-
board will be in operation when the
time comes for him to fulfill his con-
tract
Practically all undertakings Of a
business nature in the United States
are based upon the assumption that
there will be no interruption of rail

Twelve American Steamships, ag-

claim OF American ownership was Ger

nanent partnership with these ben
evolent powers, they are going to do
US good, yes, do US good. And If We

be caused locally by storms or mishaps
which interfere with transportation for
a few hours or days at the most.
This dependence of bu3iness upon
railroad transportation furnishes the
reason for that clause in the Cummins
Railroad Bill which makes it crime
for two or more persons to enter into
any combination or agreement with in
tent substantially to hinder, restrain
or prevent the movement OF commodi-
ties of persons in interstate commerce.
In order not to infringe upon individual
liberty, that section OF the bill also
provides that nothing therein contained
snail be taken to deny to any individ-
ual the right to quit his employment
for any reason. Taken together, these
two provisions OF the bill, if enacted,
will permit any employee to quit his
employment on railroad at any time; ;
but he must not do SO in pursuance of
u combination or agreement With in
tent substantially to hinder, restrain
or prevent the movement of commodi-
ties or persons In Interstate commerce.
He must act on his own individual in
itiative, exercising his own judgment
as To his own individual welfare, and
not bind himself TO act in collusion
with or at the command of some other
person.
There is no other provision of the
Cummins Railroad bill more important
than this With that section enacted
into law, business in the United States
may proceed with utmost confidence
that there will be no material irterrup-
ton OF railroad traffic. Any man who
Is dissatisfied with his employment on
a railroad will be at full Liberty to
quit. He may take more profitable
employment III some other avocation.
But when he ceases his employment

that the government has 1850 tanks

they are to be applied, nor was it dis

more have canvas tarpaulins thrown

DRUG OF MARVELLOUS POWER
Bayard Taylor's Description Of sensa-
tions Under the Influence of
Hashish Is a Classic.

Hashish may be reckoned one Of
the most classic Of all intoxieants.
Herodotus, the. Father of History"
speaks of its use among the ancient
Scythians, and it was doubtless the
drug referred to by Homer as the
assuager of grief" In the house of
Menelaus. Bayard Taylor's account
of hts sensations on first taking it at
Damascus is memorable. 1t put him
in a state of mental exaltation where
In all sensations as they arose sug-
gested more or less coherent images
in a double form, one physical, the
other spiritual, and the latter reveal
ing itself In a series of indescribably
brilliant metaphors. A few minutes
after taking the drug he found him
self at the foot of the Great Pyramid.
A wish instantly transported him to
its summit, far above the palm groves
and wheat fields of Egypt. Then, look
ing down, he observed that the pyra-
mid was not built of stone, but of gi-
gantic blocks of plug tobacco! For
moment he writhed In perfect par
oxysm of laughter at this ludicrous
discovery. Then his senses were raw
ished with delicious perfumes, and
there came to his ears divine melodies
and harmonies such as Beethoven
might have dreamed. Time and space
seemed vastly extended. so that a min
ute seemed an hour and an hour a
year, while his friends in the same
room with him seemed miles away, as
though he were viewing them through
a reversed telescope.

ANIMALS POINT OUT RICHES
Innumerable Instances Where Pros
pectors Have Been Aided In Search
for Earth's Treasures.

A very large gold nugget is said to
have been found the other day in
wild bees nest in Australia. The story
seems likely enough. for Australia has
yielded all the really monster nuggets
to date-the "Welcome" weighed
2,195 troy ounces and was valued at
S43. .500-and one of the biggest was
discovered by prospector who
stubbed his toe against a projecting
angle Of 1t.
On the Wind river Indian reserva-
tion. in Wyoming prospectors look for
grains of gold brought to the surface
of the ground by ants. And In Ari-
zona anthills are a common source
of excellent garnets which are
fetched to the surface by the industri-
Gus insects.
During the war we had grievous
need of antimony to harden shrapnel
bullets. The latter are of lead, but
require the addition of Is per cent Of
antimony TO enable them to hold
their shape when the containing shell
explodes.
Accordingly, the government sent
out experts to look for deposits of
the metal, and the most productive
antimony mine that we now have in
this country was located by the help
of badger, earth thrown out of the
creatures burrow showing a CLINT of
the precious stuff.

TINT Wins contest with Dynamite.

contest was recently staged be-
tween 40 per cent dynamite and trini-
trotoluene, and the latter won, says
the Scientific American. Two con-
crete piers had to be blasted out and
this gave an opportunity for com
parative test Of the two explosives,
with the result that 14.9 cubic feet
of concrete were removed per pound
of INT, and only 14.1 per pound Of
dynamite.
INT is no doubt destined to be
used extensively in engineering work,
as 1t is less sensitive than dynamite,
but greater precautions must be taken
TO ventilate after shot, owing to the
large amount of carbon monoxide
which Is one of the principal products

TIMES "sURE HAD CHANGED"
pouuhboys In France Hailed a. Friend
Man Whom They Had, When
"klds," Feared Greatly.

The story Of how two doughboys
found their old enemy in France is
told by Mike Nolan, former police lieu
tenant of New York city, who served
as a X. of @. secretary assigned to
the Sixteenth infantry, First division.
Nolan is fifty-two years old and put
in % years on the New York police
force. When he changed the blue uni
form for khaki, he was in charge of
the twenty-third precinct. the old Ten
derloin.
On his breast is a victory ribbon
with two bronze major offensive stars
and three silver citation stars. He
has been recommended for the D. S. G.
by the commanding officer of the Six
teenth infantry.
He had wandered up to a little
bunch" Of doughboys who were shoot
ing craps" and gave each of the boys
a pack of X. Of G. cigarettes. The
game was an exciting one. and sol
dier who was about ito roll the ivor-
ies'' looked up at him and asked him
to kiss 'em for a five." Nolan did
so. and the dice turned up two and

One of the unlucky boys who had

INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER
That Now Worn by United States
Army Medical officers Goes Back
Four Thousand Years.

The caduceus, which was introduced
in 1902 by Col John Van R. Hoff, NJ.
c., U. S. A., editor of the Military Sur
geon, as part of the medical officers
insignia, dates back 1000 years, ae-
cording to F. H. Garrison, Nj. D., O. S.
A., writing in the Journal Of the Amer
ican Medical Association. For num-
ber of reasons the serpent was always
the symbol of medicine in antiquity.
The Babylonians' caduceus, which as
the insignia shows today-two snakes
entwined with wings at the top of the
staff-occurs In Hittite remains. 1t
stands for an actual serpent god, MIN
gishzida, who as the special messenger
of Ishtar, was the awakener of life In
the springtime, and the Mesopotamian
prototype of the Greek Hermes. The
Romans had a special functionary, the
eaduceator, who was sort OF peace
commissioner, The caduceus was used
on the title pages of books published
by the famous medical printer, Fro
benius, in AGO to 1927. The wand Of
Mercury" as it is sometimes called,
was also carried by merchant traders
in ancient times, on excursions where
peaceful negotiations were desired and
they wanted to be known as neutrals.
