tant nature of the rentals we are
paying today can be seen when we
consider that the average rentals
received by railroads in the east
ern region are equal TO a 11.4S per
cent dividend on their capitaliza
ton; those in the southern region
are equal to 1897 per cent; and
those in the western, 9.96 per cent.
AS examples OF dividends paid to
individual roads consider the fol-
lowing: Pennsylvania railroad, s. SO
per cent; New York Central, 1895
per cent; Delaware. Lackawanna
& Western, 1890 per cent; Phila-
delphia & Reading, 25.70 per cent;
Central of New Jersey, POPS per
cent; Illinois Central. 11.33 per
cent; Louisville & Nashville, 1915
per cent; c., B. & O., 22.05 per
cent; Delaware & Hudson, 1913
per cent. The government could,
on the basis of present capitaliza-
ton, pay the stockholders of the
roads enumerated par value for
every cent of stock, and by merely
substituting the market rate of in
terest for the present rate, save
every cent of the present deficit.
"Unregulated private ownership
is unthinkable. Regulated private
ownership is not possible. Such
regulation means continued inf1a-
ton of railroad land values, CAPT
talization of excess profits by some
lines and the bankruptcy courts for
others. 1t means a continual strug-
gle between government and rail-
20 hn in
every railroad system. 1t means
special privileges to preferred
users, for regulation no more pre-
vents special privileges to certain
patrons than bank regulation will
prevent loans to certain preferred
bank patrons. Public regulation
has. for instance, been powerless
to prevent the manipulation of food

General No. 1872.
Notice is hereby given to all per-
sons interested, that the council of
the city of Rock Island, Ill, hav-
ing ordered the paving of Sixteenth
avenue from the west line of Elev-
enth street to the west line of
Tenth street, with asphaitic con
crete, and the ordinance for the
same being on file in the office OF
the city clerk of said city, and said
city, having applied to the county
court of Rock Island county, Ill.
for an assessment of the cost of
said improvement according to
frontage, said assessment being
payable in nine installments, each
bearing interest at the rate of 5
per cent per annum, and an assess
ment therefor having been made
and returned to said court, the
hearing thereon will be had on the
Goth day OF July, A. D., 1919, at the
hour of nine o'clock a. m, or as

supplies by the packers. Private
ownership means the constant ex-
tension of federal control and re-
sponsibility until they have reach
ed point where private operation
vanishes. Why, then, not take the
full step now?
Public ownership places a nat
ural monopoly squarely upon a
service basis. 1t makes possible a
systematic development OF our nat
ural resources. A railroad, after
all. is nothing but a highway, and
is no more subject to private own
ership than a street. Twenty years
from now private exploitation of
one will be as unthinkable as the
other"

ter of Mr.. and Mrs H. H Cleave-
land will sponsor the good ship
Rock Island when it is christened

Below is a picture of the vessel
taken in Delaware bay after it had
slid down the ways of the Pussy &
Jones yards into the river, had been
completely equipped, and then
had been taken out into the bay.
The christening is expected to
attract widespread attraction in
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-07-12

not only becaue of her activity in
patriotic movements during the war
but because of the activity of Mr..
Cleaveland in Liberty loan drives
and work in other patriotic organi-
cations.
When the ship is christened, it is
expected that there will be a num-
Der of prominent Rock Island peo-
pie present. The parents and other
relatives of Miss Cleaveland will at
tend as well as others who gave
much service to patriotic work dur
ing the war.
Specifications of the ship follow:

Rock Island because of the fact
that this is the first time in the
history of the city that a vessel in
ocean-bound traffic is given the
name of this municipality as well
as the first time that a Rock Island
young woman is privileged with the
honor of Christening an ocean ship.
Rock Island was given the priv
ilege of naming the vessel because
of the showing made in the Fourth
Liberty loan when the city over
subscribed its quota by So per cent.
The honor of sponsoring the ship
was conferred on Miss CIeaveland,

MONUMENT TURNED
INTO ALLIED MEMORIAL

TARNOPOL, Poland, Nov. 26.-
The German monument erected in
honor of the then German emperor's
visit to Tarnopol in 1917 has been
turned into an allied memorial. Dur
ing the occupation by the German
troops the huge monument was
erected, bearing the inscription:
William II, Emperor of Germany
and King of Prussia, stopped here
on July %, 1919" 1t was a division
of Polish-Americans. members of the
French army. that took the town for
the Poles. and they simply added
this inscription, land July 4, 1919,

Chasseurs entered the town. They

OF CHINA. SAN
DIEGO WOMEN HAVE
SMALLEST FEET
PEDAL STATISTICS SAY so; IN
DIANAPOLIS WOMEN
WEAR No. IFS.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. --latest
compiled pedal statistics reveal that
the women of San Diego, Cal, are
possessors of the smallest feet in
America. This, of course, does not
apply to everyone, but the majority
of them. Four and a half is the
average size of shoes sold to women
there. while Washington, D. c., and
Los Angeles average five. Pitts
burg five and a half and Boston six.
indianapolis has the distinction of
selling the greatest amount of num-
Der II, the largest size women's
shoes made.
The daughters of the Southland in
the olden days had the reputation Of
having the tiniest feet, but due to
the influx of so many northerners a
kind of mixed grill has resulted.
The most popular style of shoe
worn there is heavy tan oxford with
short vamp and rather wide tie,
while the dainty ankle is shown up
by silk Socks"
Milwaukee is most pessimistic
about her outlook, as since that city
has been bereft of it's beer the aver
age size of women's shoes has
jumped a whole size. If this is true
all the feminine population will be
wanting to flock to San Diego, as
she is blested with an oasis only
eight miles distant, and San Diego's
feminine extremities ought to de-
crease if anything.

PARIS SHIVERING IN FACE
OF WORST WINTER IN 5 YEARS

PARIS, Dec. 2.-Parisians are
shivering at the approach of winter,
and in all circles the same ques-
ton is being asked, "Shall we have
coal?"
Despite the optimistic assurances
of the government, the coming win
ter promises to be worse than any in
France during the five years of war.
The stocks of coal in Paris have
shrunk to practically nothing, and
many large factories have been
obliged to shut down. The under
ground railway trains have reduced
their speed by one-third, and it is a
matter for serious discussion wheth-
er it will be possible to maintain the
normal service throughout the win
ter.
This also applies to the tramways
and motor omnibuses. Most of the
coal depots are shut, and not one
is working normally. Coal tickets
are useless.

BRITISH BUILD LAST Big
DREADNAUGH1 TYPE ship

should not be mounted on the MI
type.
The success of the MI type has
so impressed officials that three sis
ter ships of the Hood in early stages
of construction were abandoned. The
Hood was completed mainly because
construction was far ahead of the
others and because the admiralty
wanted to see how ideas gained in
warfare would actually work out.
The Hood is a fusion of the
dreadnought and the fast cruiser.
Her displacement is 1920 tons,
length $50 feet, horsepower 144, 900
and her speed 81 knots. Unlues-
tionably she is the most powerful
big warship Britain has ever built.
The Renown, which previously held
high honors, is $50 feet long, of
26,5OO tons, 10000 horse power
and does 80 knots.
The Hood has II inches of armor
plate at the waterline, the Re-
nown half that. The Hood has eight
inch guns, the latter for anti-aircraft
fire, while the Renown's battery
comprises six 15-inch and II 4-inch
guns, with two 3-inch anti-aircraft
guns. The Hoods furnaces are
adapted for oil fuel. of which the
ship can carry 1000 tons supply.
The Hoods gunhouses are pro-
tected by armor from IL to Is
inches thick, while the guns can be
given higher elevation than those on
any other British dreadnought. The
deck has m plating varying from
one to three inches in thickness; the
coming tower is protected by armor
plate from nine to eleven inches
thick.
Against underwater explosion the
Hood is protected by a bulge or
blister. Both above and below water
the Hood has greater protection by
heavy armor-plating than any other
British warship.
Trials will be held off Davenport
and after her commission she prob
ably will be assigned to Admiral
Charles Madden. commander of the
Atlantic fleet, as flagship.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Scarcity of
labor. especially in the line of ship
ping. has brought prosperous times
to "old Salts" who, under normal
conditions, would either be jobless
or seeking a home berth, according
to Captain George Beckwith, newly
appointed governor of Sailors Snug
Harbor. on Staten Island. This ia
nous home for old seamen, which
generally has a full passenger" list
of 1000 inmates. today has about.
$50 vacant berths.
Captain Beckwith explained that
before the a it was a difficult
matter for a seaman of so years
either to secure a job or to hold fast
to one that he might have. At pres
ent experienced sailors of 60 years
ana over are in demand. and, conse-
quently, prefer earning money to-
being inmates of a home.

D~RESSCRAZE SERIOUS
TO SOME WOMEN AS
DEADLY DRUGS :.
MEN LONG FOR
BOOZE

LONDON, Dec. 2.-"Some women
suffer from dressomania as others do
from drugs said one of the most
eminent or London solicitors. The
reflection was prompted by his part
in recent divorce SUITS.
Women crave for new clothes as
men for drink, and they experience
the same effects" he added.
New clothes ~intoxicate a woman,
give her temporarily a fright out
look on life, a feverish enjoyment
for the moment, and bring a sparkle
to her eyes and a flush to her
cheek. In a word, they dull her
sorrows and make her forget her
worries: but their effects are short
lived, and the pleasure has died
down almost before the new gar
ments are sent home.
among the rich smart women of
London, but recently it has spread
to all classes. I learn that when in
grief a woman finds that new
clothes serve to lull and soothe the
nerves just as drink would dull the
grief of a man. Clothes act as a
counter excitement to divert the
mindsfrom it's troubles. After these
years of sorrow and n~erve-racking
excitement it is but natural that. the
women are plunging into mad orgies
of clothes buying along with theil
other excitement"
A journey through the West END
shops proves that dressomania is g
raging epidemic. In the shoe shops
fashionable women are buying as
many as five or six pairs of even
ing slippers at a time. Silk stock
ings at a guinea or more a pair are
being sold to customers by the dozer
pairs. Lingerie costing more thar
pre-war evening gowns is being solo
to women who were buying fol
sheer excitement, and French frock.
at thirty guineas apiece are being
bought two or three at a time.
