Cedar Rapids, Aug. 2S.-That the
glib statements of the railroads. say
Ing billion and a half dollar in
crease in rates need cause no alarm,
that by no possible computation can
such rates Justify an increase of one
cent a pound in the price of meat,
is pure unadulterated bunk. is the
emphatic opinion of Harry +. Sund-
berg, traffic manager of the chamber
OF commerce OF this city and newly
elected head of the Iowa Traffic Lea
que.
Mr., Suuhurs points out that bill
lion and a half dollars is tidy little
sum and regardless OF the soothing
syrup now being fed to the public by
railroads. considerably more than a
billion and half dollars are goine
to come out of the pockets of the
consumers in the next year.
That pleasant little fiction con-
corning the price OF meat and that
the increased rates can not Justify l.
cent more in the cost to the COR
sumner. Ndoesn't go far with MIR. Sun
perience in traffic matters
How about the hauage of feed TO
cattle?' asked Mr.. Sundburg. How
about the movement OF livestock Be-
fore killing and afterYard2 How
about the increased freight rates oil
sugar, salt and everything the pack
ers use? How do they get that way?
Service Slowed Up.
1t isn't only that the railroads have
increased rates to this unheard OF
extent. But the service has been
slowed up. A merchandise car .,sed

which means that III takes two or
three times as many cars 20 do he
work."
The Railway Age has compiled
statistics which disclose what II calls
the astonishing fact that the AM
erican public is spending approxi-
mately as much annually for operat-
Ing and riding In automobiles as 1t is
portation-freight. passenger. express
and mail.
1t points out that If the public should
find the recent advance OF $3.50, 900
in railroad rates burdensome, 1t can
completely Offset this additional cost
by reducing its use Of automobiles
20 per cent. The average annual cost
of railroads to family Of FIVE is
estimated at 1905, while 1t is said the
rate for a family for automobile ex-l
penditures is $3.50 a year.
''All right" said Mr.. Sundhurg.
Just supposing those figures to be
correct, how about the man who
doesn't own an automobile. and
probably never expects to own one.
Where does he get off?"

indications count for nothing, the
picking is going to be quite an inter-

Of Jack Kelley, American champion.
Kelley, after winning the American
title the past season, entered the Hen
ley regatta. The entry was received
without comment until Kelley arrived
in England. Hardly had the Ameri-
can landed on British soil than he was
informed his entry would not be &C
copied. He was given to understand
his entry was refused because he was
affiliated with the Vesper Boat Club,
Of Philadelphia. Henley stewards had
rather strenuous time with Vesp-
er Club some years ago.
Kelley tried every possible way to
have the Henley stewards reconsider
their action. They assured the Amer
lean there were no hard feelings
against him personally, but that It
would be impossible for them to per-
nit him to compete.
Enraged at the treatment accorded
him, Kelley remained in England and
gave some exhibitions. His work was
well received by British fans, and at
one stage it looked as though a party
of them would go to the front for the
American. This plan, however, was
nipped in the bud.
Kelley was depressed during his
stay In England, but he was quickly
overjoyed when he learned he had
been selected for the American team
at Antwerp. Kelley never objected
to having his career and standing

Dreyfuss Has An Idea.

fi4k Barney DreyfuSS, owner OF the
Pittsburgh Pirates, Is going to revo-
.lutionize the business of picking tall

ly returned from a scouting trip that

have been working on this plan for
some time, but the opportunity for
adopting it has never presented it
self until now"
Dreyfuss has invested young
fortune in material for the 1921 cam
paign He has bought no less than
eight youngsters involving the neat
sum of $4,000, and he says he is not
thru buying yet. He has picked up
four shortstop candidates and two
first base candidates, these positions
being the weakest on the present
Pirate layout, according to the club
owner.
AS per schedule of former years,
Dreyfuss is having the phenoms pur-
chased this season report to him at
the close Of the season in their res
pectiye leagues. EIe declares this
will give his an idea Of what to ex-
pect from the lads next spring, and
may result in his being able to find
seasoning grounds for some of those
who appear to be in need of more
experience.
Altho not as yet conceding that the
Pirates are out of the 1920 bunting
hunt, Dreyfuss declares the young
sters who made the team this year
We're somewhat disappointing and
several Of them will be obliged 10 re-
turn to the sticks for more develop
ment next spring. The fact that Drey-
fuss is comforting with Manager Glib
son frequently on the new material,
makes it appear almost certain that

helm again in 1921.

week since the accident, and shut out

the ball close, he called a warning to

Ever since Mays has been in the

has been able to get away with it.
He has worked on the theory that

Carl Mays entered the American

CHAPTER XIII.

Dusk had begun to soften the harsh
er outlines of the street where Sylvia
lived. and the arc-lights had begun
to glow. casting their pale illumina-
ton thru the green dust of buds and
tiny leaves on the few trees along
that sordid thoroughfare, as Brad
ford. with his gift of flowers. drew
near the girls little flat. Briskly he
turned the corner by the store
crossed the street. As he came to the
sidewalk. his eye indifferently caught
the track of broad pneumatic tire
in the half-dried mud along the curb
Ia tire with a peculiar braided pat
tern in It's tread.
Now. had he been less completely
absorbed in thought of Sylvia in
thrilled anticipations OF his crucial
meeting with her, he must have rec
oanized that braided pattern; but is
brain, filed only with images the
girl and with the wonder of the mes
sage he was bearing her. did not
clearly register the Impression. His
acknowledgements. perhaps, took
coan.kance of the thing; but OBJ
jeCtively he passed 1t by.
Breathless and with ast-beating
heart. he ran up the stairs of the
apartment house to her door Then,
his face TRANSPORTED by hope, by
faith and by previsionin.s of joy. he
rang her bell and stood there waiting
for the kiss he knew would greet
him..
Thru the open window at the head
of the stairs. the evening breeze of
spring-mild and sweet, even in the
citN--swaved the marquisette cur
tains that Sylvia had made and hung
there. Voices of children drifted up
to him-children who. tho strangers
to grass and flowers, were circling on
the cobble- stones, hand in hand,
singing some sprinetide rimes of i'm
memorial antiquity:
In green garden here we stand
Take Your true love by the hand;
Turn to the east and turn to the west.
Turn to the one that you love best
Bradford, strangely thrilled by the
unsteady, piping trebles of their
melody, rang the bell again. He
tapped impatiently on the door. Why
was Sylvia, delaying him? The mes
sage he was bringing her could not
wait!
Overlooking with the intensity of
that message, he paced back and
forth in the upper hallway, looked
out of the window, took the flowers
from their enwrapping paper, shook
them apart, kissed them with boyish
fervor. and turned again to the door.
Quietly 1t had been opened, and
now stood ajar. Puzzled, he entered
the hall of the flat. What might this
mean? All. yes-some little amorous
ruse; the girl was hiding from him
somewhere, to surprise him from be-
hind a door or curtain. Well pleased,
he laughed a happy laugh.
Sylvia" he quested her whisp-
eringly in the half dark. where's my
grille? Where's my Sylvia?'
Here. Bradford" he heard her
voice from the little parlor
He paused, chilled by sense of
some unfathomed evil, vague and
formless prescience OF disaster, borne
to him not by her words but by
subtle information in her answer. He
