GARY SAYS RAIE &
BOARD BLUNDERED

HoBoKEN. y. J.. April 22.-Dis-
cussing the controversy between the
Railroad Administrations and the In
dustrial Board OF the Department Of
Commerce over steel prices, Elbert
II. Gary, chairman OF the board OF
directors OF the United States Steel
Corporation, told its stockholders at
their annual meeting here that II the
Railroad Administration had accepted
the judgment OF the Industrial Board
as to prices for steel products the
railroads would have benefited to a
large extent and business would have
been stimulated.
He, said that the business OF the
carriers would have shown improve
ment, and called attention to the
fact that last year the Steel COrpo-
ration had paid to the railroads S1s9,-
OOO, 900 in freight charges. No criti-
cism to any extent had been made.
he pointed out, when railroad freight
charges had been increased.
The refusal OF the Railroad Admin
istration to accept the Industrial
Boards prices, Chairman Gary char
acterized as "a misunderstanding all
around between the steel industry,
the board. and the Railroad Admins
tration." The controversy had been,
however, between the two govern
ments, and il there wss,any- blame
attached ''the public viii no doubt
place it where it belongs"

Washington people have vaseline
for backbones and sweetbreads for
brains.
At least this is the opinion.of Frank
J. Hogan, the lawyer, who, at a meet
ing in GOnzaga Hall last night, bit
terly attacked not only Congress for
its indifference to the rights of the
people of this city, but also the peo-
pie themselves for not caring enough
to make their rights known.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Central Citizens Association,
and was held chiefly for the purpose
cf anording representative news
papermen- of the city an opportunity
to give their views on the question of
securing representation in Congress
for the District Of Columbia.
Get COnEreSsman First.
Lets get in" said Mr.. Hogan, in
pleading for more enthusiasm and
greater unity in the fight for the
recognition OF WashingtOn's rights.
"Once we secure a Congressman we
can devote our attention to securing
local self-government.
cit now appears as though most Of
the people of Washington have vase
line for backbones and sweetbreads
for brains. Children of the residents
have nothing TO aspire to in their
home city. No matter how great an
education they may receive, even
though they become the most brill
liant legal lights, they can never sit
as judges in the courts, merely be-
cause the people of the District have
not the right Of suffrage"

with which the rights OF the District
"citizens" have been and are being
pushed aside. Mr.. Hogan said that out

In relation to Federal acquisition OF

particularly II the world price should

Barnes said three plans We're under
consideration; direct dealing with
the farmers, which would bring the
director into contact with 1000, 900
persons purchasing through the coun-
try grain exchanges. which would
necessitate keeping 10000 accounts,
and buying through the. mills, which
would reduce the number of clients

ducers.

Bronchitis In Unusual
Form Causes Warming

Bronchitis, in form that is pug
cling physicians and members of the
State Board of Health, is sweeping
the state in greater proportions than
did influenza last winter, according to
officials.
So many cases of he disease have
been reported that DR.. A. T. Nc
Cormack, secretary of the State Board
has appealed to public school teach
ers to send home every child that
shows the least sign of cold. Other
wise the closing schools may be
necessary, he says.
He says research shows the same
germ is responsible for this form of
bronchitis as caused influenza and
the new disease is equally contagious.
No deaths have been reported from
bronchitis in Kentucky and few cases
of pneumonia have been traced to
the disease. The abnormal spread of
the disease, like influenza, covers the
last three weeks.
Circular letters and pamphlets
giving warning of the disease and
directions in treating it will be
mailed today to all Kentucky ply
sicians.
Dr. Mccormack says usual treat
ment for bronhcitis fails to have any
effect on the disease and unlike
ordinary bronchitis, that comes with
the first touch of winter, this dis
ease leaves the patient in weak
ened condition.

CUPID ACTIVE IN
 AMERICAN ARMY Over 5000 So ldiers Have Married Frencl h Girls Dur
 ing the Pa st Year
sy Associate. Pres.

Paris, March S-That cupid was nearly busy as Mars with the members of the American expeditionary force and that romance bloomed in Trance in spite of wars alarms is shownl by the fact that more than 5000 French women have been wood and won by American soldiers with . in one year. The majoEity of the French girls who have become Americans through marrying men and off gers of the Amer
 ican expeditionary force are stem ographers, sales girls dr teachers with
 sprinkling of peasant kirls and those of
 the middle class of bollrgecisie.
 The romances are in most cases very
 similar A soldier would be billited with
 a French family a ihember of which would be a girl of marfiageable age. To- Sether they would delEe into the intri-
 cacies of the French language, sign language being promptly superseded by a combination of Anglo French jibberish. The clean cut, healthy physique of the Americans, their politenEss and generosity | would appeal to the hehrt of the French | girl who saw in the American the real l ization of her dreams As a rule, the l Americans also made nd secret of the par | ticular sympathetic fedling they had fol | the French girls and sd as natural se- ouence, marriage resulted.
 | Many such pairs now are puzzled 1 whether the wife should accompany hel ] husband to America or the husband should
 make his home in Fraihce. It is expect | ed that fully 50 per cent of the benedict! ! will adopt France for tIleir future home.
