INGENIOUS NEWS
 FIDDLER FRAUD

WELLESLEY, Mass, July 26. = Wellesley College authorities are try ing to head off the activities of an ingenious news pedler who, making his headquarters in Boston. has sent to newspapers alf over the country complimentary but, the college off cials say, untrue stories concerning young women in the student body and members of the faculty. His method is to query newspaper as to whether it wishes a story of which a student or faculty member living is published, is the central figure. The identical query is sent to any where from 50 to 100 papers. it ia alleged. with different name in each case for the heroine of the story The names are taken from the college catalogue.
 Anna Abbott Honored
 Regarding one of these stories the college publicity department says:
 'On April g there was sent out from Boston to newspapers all over teh United States and Canada set of telegrams like the following, ex- cept for name and address,

 "The story sent to those papers which wired acceptance was that of the local student, or, in some towns where supply of students at Welles- ley was limited, a member of the faculty, had been elected by the student body and confirmed by the faculty as one of the fifty members of Wellesley economic inyestiga- tion committee, which was, it ap- peared, to conduct systematic econ omic survey of the United States, in an endeavor to secure a basis for plan to reduce the cost of liv- ing
 "The irritation of the victims, of which there are at least 100 and their families, especially of those whose parental pride had accepted the tale as not unlikely, has 'natur- ally been considerable.

Soviet Premier Admits Bol- sheviki Confronted by
 Difficult Problem

TOKYO, July 26.-aeniiic. Soviet Premier of Russia asserts that the most important problem confront- ing the Soviet government today is how to harmonize capitalism and socialism He made that statement in an interview in Moscow with the correspondent of the Nichi-Nichi The correspondent quotes him as saying:
 For that purpose, the Soviet drew up special understanding which was made public in America some time ago. Some of the Pow CTS mistook the concessions made as sign of weakness and dis patched expeditionary forces to Rus sia. The result was complete failure on their part. financially militarily and morally" many difficulties to be overcome be fore the Soviet government was es- tablished on a solid basis, but he believed that the hardest portion of the work had been already ac- compIished.
 ''It took Russia" he said, ''no fewer than thirty years to pass from feudalism to capitalism There is nothing extraordinary in that. Old systems may be overthrown in a day, but it takes long period to erect new one. In fact. the long CT the period involved, the surer will be the basis of reconstruction
 'The development of a state, ' LeniAe declared depends very much upon the education of the ris- ing generation and it is the policy of the Russian Soviet to pay every possible attention to the training of the youthful mind,
 "In regard to the economic pros poets of new Russia that is being constructed, we believe that efforts should be directed first of all to the destruction of the position of landowners in Poland. This is ar essential preliminary to the estb- iishment of permanent peace and therefore, to the improvement of economic conditions"

Street Railway Service
At Less Than Cost

During the month of Septembcr-the latest month for which complete
reports of its operations arc available-Public Service Railway fur
nished a necessary service , moro than 100000 passengers FOR
LESS THAN COST.
Its operations resulted in an actual loss of Sl04,- l95 e." = i Fr for
depreciation and without a dollar for dividends.
And Public Service Railway is AN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY.
This failure to meet expenses is due to the higher level Of operating
costs a a result of changed economi c conditions growing out of the war,
and deprivation of revenue due to unrestricted jitney competition. The
increased operating costs are attributable to

(1) Higher Wages.
(2) Higher Coal Prices,
(3) Higher Taxes.

Wages in the transportation department alone, in which re included
motormen, conductors and car housee employees, were $14S,700 NOR
than a year ago; power, due largely to the advanced price of coal, cost
$72651 more and the one time of axes acrountcd. for a jump of nearly
$4,000.
During September the Public Service cars travelled 4,9Ss062 miles and
carried 3s,Os2,527 passengers. A distinct service wa rendered every
one of these many millions and the benefits accruing to the State and
the industrial, commercial and sral interests of its subdivisions ire in
estimable.
The total amount of money collected by the company u all lis oper-
atoms during September was 81, 2SOy5O06S; the to: = " were
1884 1896 35; the actual deficit $%lO4,49567.
The company rendered far more service to the rutli' y did in
September a year age" Its cars op Grated more miles al r1t. more
passengers.
In all of the foregoing figures not a dollar is included for depreciation
or for dividends to stockholders. There was nothing left to credit to
the depreciation account and there was nothing for the stockholders
whose invested savings has made possible the giving of this great SER
vice that is so essential to the personal convenience of the public and
the material welfare of the State.
An essential public utility like Public Service Railway cannot be main
tanned without a depreciation fund to take a of requirements; it
cannot be extended or improved without new capital and new capital
cannot be attracted unless investors arc assured of a reasonable return
on their investment What is to be the outcomeY
This is IL phase of the trolley story. Other phases will be set before
the public in statements to follow as the company means to tell the
conditions are permitted to continue the public will, in the end, be the
ones to suffer.

PAPER FROM BAMBOO POSSIBLE.

The most hopeful thing that has
happened in the print paper industry
since the paper famine turned the
newspaper and printing busiaess up
side down is the discovery by the
British government O: India, that
fair grade of print paper can be
made from the bamboo wood Of In
Ola and the entrance of three DIFF
ferent companies into India with
paper mill projects promises a modi-
cum of relief in a year or two from
the inordinate prices and market
squeeze which is prosecuting pub
fishers at the present lime.
The cost of spruce wood pulp. in
England has risen from $50 to $3.50
per ton or an advance of $40 per
cent. Newspapers in this country
like the Times Republican which
are trying to get by with an adj
vance Of only so per cent to their
subscribers are deeply interested In
the paper experiment in India.
1t is computed that the India bam-
boo forests-once a re liable method
Of pulping has been obtained-can
furnish the world with print paper
for, several generations at least.
Granted concessions large enough
the concessionares will. OF course,
make their own arrangements for
replanting as they Cit. There is
abundant water-carriage In Burma
and the labor problem is, to say the
least, less acute in that country than
elsewhere. Those who come first will
undoubtedly be the best served as
regard concessions and the subject
is worth early exploration by those
interested.

the LEGION At CEDAR RAPIDS,

The American Legion III its con-
vention just concluded condemned
the teaching Of foreign languages in
public schools below the high school
grade, passed resolutions In favor Of
legalizins boxing in the state and
was unanimous in a request that the
Iowa assembly pass a state compen-
sation law of $15 per month ser
vice.
Tha. some bill carrying compensa-
ton is certain to be, presented and
to pass the next assembly seems as
sured. The reason that such Iegisla-
ton has dragged seems to have been
the shrinking of legislative bodies
from an increase of taxes and in the
difficulty of getting the money. Some
consideration must be given 20 the
embarrassment of legislatures and
congresses in this aspect. However
the country is convinced that some
method of equalization between the
service man and the man who re-
NAMED at home at inflated wages is
the just due Of the service men and
legislatures and congresses will be
likely to take up and definitely settle
this question. A debt is debt. II it
is owed it should be paid In one or
another way satisfactory between
those who are debtors and creditors.
The suggestion that foreign IAN
guages be barred in the grades and
the minor public schools is by way
of Americanization. There Isl no oc-
casion to teach foreign languages to
the lower grades.
AS to the legalization of boxing
| that is another matter and one to
be carefully approached and scanned

Answers to Previous Questions.
do the male birds usually help
in the nest building?
In only few instances among our
birds does the male assist in nest
building. He is usually only gratui-
tous superintendent of the work. The
male oriole visits the half Finished
structure of his mate, looks it over,
tugs at the strings now and then as
If to try them. and, l suppose, has his
own opinion about the work. but |
have never seen him actually lend
hand and bring a string or hair.
2.-How do humble bees spend the
winter
You may often see, in late Septem
Der or early October, tramp humble
bees passing the night or a cold rain
storm on the lee sides of thistle
head. The queen bee alone survives.
She hunts out a retreat in the ground
and passes the winter there, doubt
less in a torpid state, as she stores no
food against the Indictment season.
3.-What two animals have en-
frances to their homes under the
water?
The muskrat and the beaver build
lodges much alike, that is, with the
entrance under water and an inner
chamber above the water, and this
because they are both water animals
with necessities much the same.
