The American people were urged
by Judge Clark 10 consider all the
proposals without prejudice and
without passion, and TO examine
these which have been outlined in
the light Of the principles which we
have enunciated."
Efficiency Necessary.
Declaring that efficiency and eco
nomy in transportation are the keys
to the solution of the problem OF
the high cost Of living. Judge Clark
added that any plan for solution o
the railroad problem must NEE
the test it will provide transporta
ton at actual cost.
THE existing state of industrial
warfare" he added. lis more costly
TO the consuming public than TO the
workers or TO the owners Of capital
Any plan for the solution of the rail
road problem which seeks the en-
dorsement OF the public should pro
vide for a share by the workers in
the management and in the profits
arising from increased efficiency.
We therefore welcome any well con-
sidered movement toward democrat
ization of the railroads as being in
the interest not only Of the workers
hut even more in the interest OF the
public.
The rights of private property
actually invested in the provision Of
transportation service for the public
service must be protected At the
same time il is imperative in the ir-
terest of economy and efficiency and
as means of decreasing the inflated
cost of living that the returns TO the
owners of capital invested in the
transportation industry shall not ex-
coed the amount actually necessary
to secure their investment. and shall
not be paid upon fcticous capitali-
cation"

Greatest Bliss Is CongeniaI Work.

There is no greater happiness in life
than doing the work you love. 1t mat
tiers not what the work is-tO some
women it is embroidery, or writing
book, or baby tending, or studying
chemistry, or cooking, or keeping
house polished. 1t does not always
happen that we have great ability In
the thing We enjoy doing-although the
chances are that this Is so. For moth
ing stimulates you to continued effort
in a piece of work more than the con-
seriousness that you do it well.
And so if you are unhappy-genuine-
ly unhappy-in the work you're doing,
try to find out what it is that you'd
prefer to do. If there is nothing else
in your mind, then perhaps your dis
content is only temporary. But If you
sincerely wish to do some other def
mite piece of work, you have legiti-
mate grievance and you owe it to
yourself to pave the way for new
shot at new occupation.

Opening of the Treasure Chest.

The dawn came slowly, and with but
little increase of light. The breeze had
almost entirely died away, leaving the
canvas aloft motionless, the schooner
barely moving through slightly heav-
ing sea, in the midst of dull-gray
mist. When Watkins emerged from
the mist l proposed to him that we go
below and continue the search for
gold. He was not anxious to go and
Dorothy persuaded me to let her go
with me. In the room where the ape
had been hidden we found a big chest
and l set to work to open it.
1t proved harder than | had be-
lieved, the staple of the lock cllnging
to the hard teak wood of which the
chest was made. The lid was heavy,

A Struggle in the Dark.

He came back with the lantern in his
hand, mere tin box containing can
die, the dim flame visible through nu-
merous punctures. Neither of us spoke
until my hand was on the companion
