Rea Says Roads Must
b. Ciuen Higher Rates

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.--presi.
dent Samuel Rea, Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in a statement tonight on the
return of the railroads to private own
ership, said it is essential that higher
rates be approved by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to save the
country from broken down railroads
and insufficient facilities and service
Mr.. Rea said the railroad bill pending
IN Congress should provide definitely
the following essential features:
81. That adequate rates be at all
times maintained to prevent the rail
roads from getting into the position
from which they are now trying tc
emerge. For this purpose the adoption
of rate making rule; if that is not
acceptable the fixing of some minimum
return is essential for the positive
guidance of the commissions which reg
ulate rates.
Would Fund War Indebtedness
"2. Fund the war indeb ,edness to the
government, which consists chiefly OF
expenditures made by the government
for additions and betterments essentia
to carry the traffic of the war period
and protect the life of the nation, and
also return the roads with sufficien,
working capital to resume operations
The government found it essential tc
have working capital, and the railroads
were called upon to provide a large
part of that working capital at the be
ginning of Federal control, both ir
money and materials and supplies
SO. Continue the standard compensa-
ton as prescribed by the Federal con
troll act and contract until the railroad
situation has been steadied by ade-
quate rates and stronger credit
Capital for Equipment Asked
"a. Provide sufficient capital to finish
additions, betterments and equipment
already authorized by the United States
railroad administration, to finance ad-
ditional new work and equipment that
should be authorized in 1920. and also
to enable the railroads to provide for
securities maturing in that year"
The government" Mr.. Rea said, "is
not asked to make a gift to the rail
roads by such funding of post ex-
penditnres or for such new capital, but
1T Will receive from the railroads the
obligations evidencing such debts and
requiring their payment in, say, ten
years. with suitable interest. The pub
lie interest should be protected in this
way; otherwise new equipment and
facilities cannot be provided in 1920

The Evidence From Divorce.

4 striking and irrefutable proof of
this is furnished by the practical test
of the figures of divorce i'll mixed
marriages, as compared with those i'll
marriage which are not mixed, thus,
in Berlin curing the ten years 1892
to 1902, to each 1000 marriages there
were divorces as follows: Jews, ) !;
Christians. 3.91: Jews,n married to
Christian women, 1909; Christians
married to Jewcsscs, 111G. Mixed
marriages are thus three to four times
more likely to be dissolved than pnre
marriages." (Fischbcrg). Such fig
ures. which can he paralleled from
other sources, constitute a clear proof
that mixed marriage is far more
likely to turn out unhappily than Il
normal marriage between u couple OF
similar race. aud, religion,
Parents and Children.
Another aspect OF the mixed mar
riagc which should make man pause
lefore he enters into it at the call
of his heart without the control of
his head. is the thought Of the di-
vision which the mixed marriage
brings between his new home and his
parents and the parents OF his wife.
Tho both husband and wife may be
unobservant in their religious practice,
Iris parents and her parents are like
ly to have stronger religious feelings.
Both the Jewish and the Christian
parents will be apt TO look with dis
favor upon the mate chosen by their
child. No man worthy of the name

The firemen. however, cannot expect

that early passage OF the hremen's
