THE BIBLE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-
I am glad you have found the Bible.
Indeed 1t is a wonderful book, as your
able editorial shows. 1t has not alone
brought comfort and consolation to tho
private reader, it has also furnished
inspiration for every great reform. Out
of this book was born the Protestant
faith. The humanitarian spirit within
this book. overthrow the institution oc
slavery. The prohibition movement is
a product of the book.
Since you have found the Bible. may
urge you to read 1t? Read Solomon 8
advice about looking upon the wine.
and Isaiahs description Of the drunk
ards Of Ephraim. and Paus spiritual
resolve to drink no wine IL It made his
brother to stumble. and Habakkuks eight
indictments of the trade" one OF which
is 'lawlcssness"
You will find that all your wet argu-
mcnts were answered by Biblical
writers centuries ago, and that your
persistent wet position is contradicted
by the spirit and teaching of the Bible.
Coveting for you the best things OF
the new year and trusting that with the
Bible in your hands it may be to you
year OF instruction and information on
the current moral issue,

Yellow Fever Soon to Disappear,
Rockefeller Foundation Announces

Speaking at luncheon Of the Rotary
Club in the McAlpin Hotel yesterday, DR..
George f. Vincent. president of the Rookie
feller Foundation, said that the Founda-
tion hopes to be able to announce in a
comparatively short time the complete
eradication Of yellow fever from every
country on earth.
Surgeon General William Crawford Cor
gas, director OF the International Health
Board of the Rockefeller Institution. DR..
Vincent said. is in charge of the fight
against yellow fever and is determined to
rid the world OF the disease. which has
baffled medical science for centuries.
Success In building the Panama Canal,
DR.. Vincent declared was due quite as
much to the work OF General Gorgas In
eradicating yellow fever as to the en-
gineers who dug the big ditch.
Yellow fever still is prevalent, DR.. Vim
cent said. In Ecuador. Venezuela, Brazil
and along the west coast OF Africa The
disease recently has appeared in Yucca
tan. and Or. NJ. c. Labredo. OF the Rookie
feller Institute. already Is on the ground

reducing an average number of $50 cases
year to none. In Guayaquil which Or.
Vincent called one of the pest places of
the world because of the prevalence of
yellow fever. the water supply is so scarce
that II runs through the mains OF the
city only one and one-half hours out OF

At the end of three months the number
OF cases OF yellow fever had not decreased,
and one newspaper editor came out with
an editorial dcnouncing the American
physician. The next month, however. tne
record Of cases was cut In half. and from,

MR.. HINES ON RAILROAD MERGERS.

Mr.. Walker d. Hines, Director General of Rail
roads, favors reorganization of the railroads of
the country through compulsory consolidation into
few great corporations with capital labor and
the public represented in their management I'm
less this Is done before the railroads are returned
to private control, says Mr. Hines, the public will
become so dissatisfied within few years that
government ownership will be necessary.
Pointing out the weakness of the railroads
under the old system arising from difficulty of
financing the lines, Mr.. Hines advocates the estab
1shment by Congress of general standard of
rates to allow earnings Clearly in excess of a
reasonable return" which must go largely to
providing reserves to take care of the lean years
and to provide adequate stimulus for efficiency.
He contends that two features of the problem
consolidation and creditLmust be solved through
legislation. Consolidation must be compulsory if
1T is to be effective. Likewise credits must be
assisted by the public-that is, by legislation
otherwise the large deficits will alarm investors
and deprive the roads of needed credit. The prob
lem is how to make rates sufficiently high to
attract investors without burdenng the public
Mr. Hines argues that the rate needed under en-
forced consolidation would be less than under
separate and independent operation
The tri-partte plan of railroad mana cement sug-
sested by Mr. Hines is similar to that offered the
railroad employees in England by Mr. Lloyd
George which plan, it is understood the English
workmen have rejected. In theory the plan is
fundamentally cooperative, However, judging
from the activity Of railroad employees both in this
country and in Great Britain, cooperation is not
what they are looking for They want the ma
tionaizaton Of the railroads. and by that is meant
the purchase Of the railroads by the government
and their operation by the employees, followed by
ffty-fifty division Of the net profits between the
employees and the pubic-profits to be divided
losses to be made up by taxation; wages to be
controlled by the workmen.
Any plan suggested by man Of Mr. Hines
railroad experience deserves serious consideration
II 1t can be worked out practically on cooper
ative basis and be made acceptable to railroad
employees his scheme may offer an escape from
immediate difficulties. Yet no project, save the
so-called Plumb plan, even approximately ap-
proaches the Hines programme, and Mr. Hines
evidently has no thought Of indorsing the Plumb
plan

CENSUS TAKER IN BROOKLYN.

To THE EDITOR or TIE HinALp:-
The census man in Brooklyn should feel

HOOVER SEES RELIEF
IN MOTOR TRUCK LINES
Asserts System Will Lower Prices
for Consumer and Increase
Producers Revenue.

No. less an authority than Herbert
Hoover has stated that so per cent OF
our perishable products never reach
the consumer; that we lose from 4C
to 60 per gent of our potatoes yearly
that shippers who are remote from
the markets and are depending upon
the exigencies of railroad >transpor-
tation never know what to expect in
the delivery of their product
AS Mr.. Hoover goes on to say. a
well established motor truck system
operating throughout the entire -coun
try, will increase the revenues of food
producers and decrease prices to the
food consumer by furnishing trans
portation short cuts from the pro-
ducers' door to the city Kitchens.
Further, he predicts that motor

mites for farmers, enhance the value

or wrist pin. When the spark is ad-
vanced it is heard. but it ceases when
the spark is retarded. Can you en-
tighten me as to the cause of it?
Answer; 1t is beyond our power to
diagnose the causes of such knocks
with any great degree of certainty.
1t is more likely to be due to loose
ness in the connecting rod bearing
than at the wrist-pin, and the con-
necting-rod knock is usually a click
or tap, such as you describe. AS you
undoubtedly know, too great advance
will produce a spark knock. especially
If there is looseness at bearings. Try
opening the throttle, on level going,
until the car is moving at say thirty
miles per hour. and then shut the
throttle suddenly. If you hear the
clicking distinctly then, it is probable
that one or more of the rod bearings
need taking up.

Cylinder. with Water.

T. s. NJ. asks: What is the best
method to employ in decarbonizing
an engine by means OF water!
Should the engine and water be
warm ard how much water should be
used?
Answer. In the absence Of reg
ular water-injecting device, consist
ing of a water-supply connected into
the manifold through tube in
which is an adjustable needle-valve
the best way that we know of is to
run the engine up to normal tempera-
ture, fill squirt can or grease-gun
with water at ordinary temperature,
set the engine running; with the
spark retarded and the throttle open
as far as 1t can be without causing
racing and then squirt the water into
the air-intake as fast as the air will
carry it into the cylinders, short Of
the stalling point. The engine should
be kept running for some time after
all the water, say one-half pint or
less, has been introduced. We advise
you not to depend too much upon this
treatment, especially If the carbon
ization is heavy and Of long stand
