SENATORS DISCUSS THE
PROBLEM OF RAILROADS
Three Well-Defined Proposals for
Legislation on Subject Are
Before Congress.

Washington. Jan. 13.-Three we'll
oehned proposals for legislation deal
Ing with railroads now are before
congress.
Railroad executives presented to
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee their plan, calling for private
ownership, and operation under reg
ulation OF secretary Of transporta-
tion-a new cabinet officer-with
statutory guarantee Of adequate
earnings, rates to be proposed by the
roads and subject to review by the
secretary OF transportation and the
interstate commerce commission.
and with the cabinet officer author
lied to supervise pooling of equip
ment, common use OF terminals re-
routing OF traffic, mergers. con-
struction OF new lines and issuance
OF securities.
Previously the interstate COM
merce commission had suggested a
policy of private ownership and op-
GRAFTON under government regula-
ton.
Director General McAdoo had ad-
vocated continuation OF government
control for five years, and as an al
Tentative early REIMBURSEMENT OF the
roads from federal management.
Shippers and representatives OF rail
road state commissions are the two
principal groups which have not yet
presented their views to the senate
committee.
Among the objections expressed
by senators to the railroads plan,
outlined by T. Dewitt Cuyler. chair
man of the Association OF Railway
Executives. was that if government
supervision were vested principally
In a secretary of transportation
politics might play large part in
railway policies. and there might not
he any constant policy. These uues-
tions were raised by Senators Cum
Minis OF Iowa, and Smith, Of South
Carolina.
Another objection was that IL the
railroads are guaranteed by law an
adequate return they should not also
have power to determine rates, even
though these rates were subject to
veto by the secretary of transporta-
tion and notifications by the inter-
state commerce commission. Sen
ator Underwood, OF Alabama, sug-
gested that the government should
have the authority to dictate details
OF the rate structure.
The railroads attitude, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Cuyler. who is di-
rector of the Pennsylvania railroad.
is that the regulatory powers given
the secretary OF transportation and
the interstate commerce commission
would be sufficient to protect the
public against unjust rates or mad
equate service. and that railroad
men, by long experience, are best
qualified to propose rates originally
that this issue would be among the
foremost in drafting OF legislation
Mr.. Cuyler argued that the ad-
vantage OF having one man as the
principal governmental supervising
agency is that he would act more
quickly than a commission in ap-
proving or disappearing rates pro-
posed by railroads. and would en-
pedite general matters OF railway
administration.

peaoe on Earth.

But to speak plainly, peace Is not IN
itself q human ideal As long as 1t
leaves unsolved the problems Of JUS
tice, it Is not even desirable aspira-
ton, writes David Jayne Hill in the
Century. It may even be repugnant
to the moral sentiments Of an enlight-
ened conscience. It is to be desired
only when 1t is the concomitant OF
realized social good, for it is in no
sense an end in itself. But the word
is not to be set aside as representing
a mere negation. as if it were simply
the absence of strife. Peace on earth
would mean the liberation of human
faculties for the highest and noblest
achievements Of which human nature
is capable. It would mean a splendid
efflorescence of art, literature, science,
philosophy and religion, in short, cul-
ture in its best sense as the spOnta.

sonality.

Intus Eaters,

It is the habit Of writer's, speakers
and even Of plain conversationalists
to refer to certain classes Of mankind
az "lotus eaters" meaning, of course,
that they are idle, indolent persons OF
luxurious and frivolous tastes. Ihere
were in the ancient world real ana
true lotus eaters and it may be tnat
they were as Industrious and hard
working as the persons who did not
eat the lotus.
Among the old Egyptians the lotus'
which is IN important member OF the
water lily family, was an article OF
food with the common people ana IL
was so extensively used that 1t may
properly be said to have been staple
article Of food.

BuIlets Affect Aluminium Market.

A peculiar circumstance in the
manufacture of English rifle bullets is
said to be responsible, in part at least,
for the increased price of aluminium.
Shortly after the outbreak Of the war
England gave up making round-nose
bullets and produced, instead, a point
ed variety with a solid lead point, in
closed in q cupro-nickel jacket. Some
time later 1t was discovered that these
missiles were not properly balanced for
the English type of gun. After many
tests the difficulty was overcome by

eggs. The greatest
damage is to very young fruit
trees. Expert advice has usually
been to defer the planting of young
fruit trees until another season;
but the United States Department
of Agriculture, realizes that to de-
fer planting, particularly where
trees have been bought and the
prepared, would entail a consider
able loss. Therefore the advice Of
fered is, defer planting until 1920
if feasible. Otherwise put out the
trees and protect them with cheese
cloth coverings. Such protection
can be made practically absolute.
The coverings need not be put on
until the insects have emerged
from the ground, when it can be
determined whether or not they are
sufficiently numerous to make
covering of the trees necessary.
Once put on, the coverings should
be allowed to remain until the in
sects are gone. The protection can
be made practically absolute. The
cheesecloth should be gathered
and tied in below the branches and
extend upward to cover practically
all the foliage, being gathered in
and tied at the top in such man
ner as to leave a small cluster of
leaves free. This method can be
applied, if necessary, to trees of
last years planting. In areas like
ly to be heavily infested pruning
should be postponed until the in
sects have disappeared, when pains
should be taken to remove injured
wood and to reshape the tree
where necessary.

BRICK LASTS ONLY
800 YEARS
Aged Frenchman Therefore
Uses Granite for
Rebuilding

Illustrative of the indomitable
will and patience Of the French
people writer in a recent issue
of the Youths Companion says:
l remember an incident that oc-
Cured during the "clearing-up"
period after the battle, and that,
better than anything else, l fancy,
will depict the character of the
people who have so heroically
borne the trials of the four years
just past.
Grandfather Chate1ain is vii
lage mason who, after sixty years
Eof hard labor, had earned enough
to retire and live very modestly
with his wife in a little home not
far from our chateau; but the Ger
man heavy artillery spared few in
our region, and the old mans
dwelling was leveled to the ground
| found him and his faithful COM
panion standing silently in front
of the ruins, with their hands be-
hind their backs and their heads
bowed. Yet there was no open
lamenting, no audible despair, and
few days later | noticed the old
man hauling great granite blocks
in a rather rickety wheelbarrow,
which he had extricated from the
ruins and patched up to serve his
purpose.
"Why on earth do you go to all
that trouble and expense, father?''
questioned. "There's plenty of
brick in the vicinity. You're too
old to do that kind of work."
The old man set down his burden
and looked at me in amazement.
"It was built of brick and mortar
BEFORE" he said. "That's why it
didn't resist; and even if there's
never going to be another war
brick only lasts eight hundred
years"
In countries like America, where
expensive edifices are built only to
be pulled down to meet the needs
of the next generation, such a re-
mark would seem absurd. But old
Father Chatelain was sincere. 1t
is that mighty French forethought
which has welded the nation to-
gether, and which is the very
source of the patriotism that has
surprised the world anew, although
over two thousand years old.

Best Things OF Life
Not Inheritances

The best things in life are not
inheritances. We may get our COM
plexion from our mother and a
taste for mathematics from our
father, but character we make for
ourselves. Some ancestor may have
built the house we live in, and an
other may have earned the money
that pays the grocer and our school
bills, but our friends are not ours
because of a clause in someone's
will. Those, too, we make for our
selves. However much comes to us
as an inheritance the best things
that we can possess, the qualities
Of spirit that enable us to live on
good terms with ourselves, and the
friends who make life worth while,
are not handed down by our an
cestors, nor given us by fond par
ents. If we have them at all, it is
because we make them.

Give Seed Potatoes
A Sun Bath

Seed potatoes kept for the win
ter at low temperature to prevent
sprouting should, according to a
practical farmer, be warmed up be-
fore planting by spreading in the
sun for a week or so. If cold nights
interfere, he advises covering with
burlap sacking. This must be re-
moved early in the morning, how
ever, to prevent sweating. Potatoes
thus exposed will start larger,
healthier sprouts than if put into
the ground direct from a cold cell
lar or pit. If spread thin on the
ground, sprouts will not start for
weeks but the eyes will swell, CIV
ing promise of just what the grow
er wants,-a good stout stalk. This
is one of the little things that yield
big returns.

Advises Alsike In Place

Because red-clover seed is scarce
the Department of Agriculture ad-

price of enough red-clover seed
for an acre will buy enough alsike
seed for two acres. But every one
who buys clover seed of any kind
