CHURCHILL TALKS OF
ENCLAND'S RAILWAYS

London, Dec. ,11,-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press. y
Winston Churchill, minister of mu-
nitions, who announced the govern
ment policy OF nationalizing British
railways, explained to the Dundee
chamber of commerce the reasons
for the proposed step.
Owing to the enormous debt with
which the country had been burden
ed by the war, he said, relief meas
ures on a big scale were required.
THE three great parent factors
of a country's welfare" he continu-
ed, ARE land, communications and
power, and the three children food,
housing and manufacture. So long
as the railways are in private hands
they may be used for immediate pro-
fit. In the hands OF the state, how
ever, 1t might be wiser or expedient
to run them at a loss il they de-
velop industry. place the trader in
closer contact with his market and
stimulate development.
''You cannot organize the great
questions of land settlement, new
industries, and the extension OF pro-
duction. unless the state has control
Of the means OF transportation"
A mass of information about the
railways is already available, he said,
and a large part OF the task OF ma
turalization has automatically &C
complished itself. 81 think 1t high
ly improbable" he went on. "that
action on this vital matter can be
delayed until a royal commission has
wandered about"
Explaining to the press a bill
which the Railway Naturalization
society has prepared, Emil Davies.
the chairman. said 1t provides for
the acquisition of all railway stocks
and shares at their mean market
price during the IL months ending
six months prior to the introduction
of the bill in parliament, the pur-
chase price to be paid is per cent

shareholders.

TO CHANGE
FACE OF THE WORLD"

London, Jan. 15.-"The wonders
of today in the air will be as naught
compared with the wonders of to-
morrow" was the way ]. A. White
head, the inventor. summed up his
view of the future of aviation in an
address here.
"The face of the world" he de-
clared, will be changed. Our towns
and cities will be as different from
the towns and cities Of today as the
streets and houses of London are
different from the streets and build
ing destroyed by the Great Fire. Our
methods of life will be changed. Our
ideas of speed will alter. We shall
be the people OF the Air Age"
He said that England's future as
a nation depended on the question OF
the commercial use of aircraft. and
that this country's task would be
to control the aerodromes of the
world. "They must be planned and
laid out" he continued, "by our
own workmen. We should develop
by means OF aircraft, distant and
undeveloped parts of the world and
secure international cooperation fol
the development of commercial air
craft. The success of the business
world is won by speed"

Reference to "stafell" in a recent
West Wales breach of promise case
puzzled the court. The "stafelI" Is
the household linen usually brought by
a Welsh bride to her new home. The
custom, still practiced, is one of great
antiquity. In early times q girl was
not allowed to get married until she
had spun the linen, and from 1t comes
the term spinster. "Stafell" is now
bought at the shop to the old folks a
degenerate innovation.

MOVIES HIT SALOONS
Minister Says They Are The Worst
Enemies of the Liquor Dispensaries

Minister Says They Are The Worst
Enemies of the Liquor Dispensaries
Sayville, l.. l., Feb. 2S-The place
of the saloon in the life of American
cities, according to the Rev. j. A.
Largdale, of New York Avenue Meth.
odist Episcopal Church Brooklyn,
will be taken in large part by the
moving picture theatre, the soda
fountain and the tea room.
"Twenty per cent. of the saloons of
the United States" the Brooklyn pas
tor told his colleagues of the Allan
tic Group Methodist Ministers AS
ISOLATION, 'have already been put out
of business by the movies"
He made it clear that there will be
no attempt to revive the Church sa-
loon" put into operation 20 years
ago by Bishop Potter and which
proved a failure.
"The substitute for the present day
saloon" he said, must be equally
attractive, if not quite so gilded. En-
tertainment must be provided. Money
will he needed. Men are going to miss
these warm and well-lighted saloons,
open all the time, while most of the
churches are closed six days in the
week, and they will be looking for
companionship and good cheer.
"In my own opinion, the greatest
foe to the saloon is the moving picture.
Men who formerly drank and spent
their idle hours in the barroom are
today regular patrons of the picture
show. They wanted life, action, more
than they wanted drink.
Recreation rooms and tea rooms
have been mentioned as other possible
substitutes. In many places they W
be provided. It is an illuminating
fact that the manufacturers OF soda
fountains and machinery for manu-
featuring soft drinks have more or
ders on hand at this moment than
they have had at any previous time
in 10 years. In the beginning, then
the moving picture. the tea room and
the soda counter will help to take
the place of the barroom."
