New York, Aug 1s.-James shev-
lin, federal prohibition enforcement
agent, today started an investigation
to ascertain whether there really
was "a pickIes in the little souvenir
bottles passed out last night at the
opening performance Of pickle Me"
at a local theater.
While singing an encore to one
number entitled 'tWe've Got Some-
thing" the chorus girls passed down
the aisles carrying baskets filed with
tiny bottles labeled whisky" Over
coming a wholesome timidity, few
in the audience opened their
souvenirs, shifted, tasted, smacked
their lips and gave EXPLANATIONS and
applause that left no doubt as to
their opinion of the refreshment.

CORN OUTLOOK

Crop Bulletin Reports Slow Progress
For Past Week-Must Have Un-
usually Favorable Weather If Yield
Is Up to Mark-Farmers Hold
Small Grain-Pasturss Need Rain.
BY Associated Press.
Des Moines. Aug. 1s.-Deflcient
temperature, sunshine and rainfall
were unfayorable for growing crops
in Iowa the week ended Aug. II, the
weekly crop bulletin, issued by the
United States weather bureau, today
says. Scattered localities had good
rains from the 10th to 18th, but most
Of the area Of the state had light
showers or none.
Corn made slow progress. The bulk
of the crop in the state is in the
roasting ear stage and SO far even
the earliest has not been reported as
beginning to dent. Unusually favor
able weather in the next month is
necessary to avert frost damage. A
good yield is indicated but with nor
NAL weather from now on and normal
ly early frosts a considerable part Of
the ears may be soft. The cool, cloudy
weather arrested the firing and curl
ing reported week earlier.
Shock threshing practically Is
completed in many southern counties.
Most Of the small grain is being held
on farms because Of unsatisfactory
prices and poor transportation facil-
tiles.
Pastures in many localities are re-
ported becoming short.
Truck crops and potatoes generally
are suffering for rain.
Late prospects for fruit continue
good.-

Wire. )--One minute after midnight,
government control of the railroads
ceased and Americas $4,000, ,00O, 600
transportation plant, the largest in
the world, passed back into the
hands Of the private owners.
! The shift meant no visible change
in service so far as the travelling
public was concerned. The CEN
tralizing power dropped out and the
properties became separate entities
again.
In the great majority of instances
the same men who managed the
roads during the 20 months of fed
eral operation are still on their old
Jobs. Schedules were unaltered.
For months the roads had been
planning their organizations, and
the transfer was made without a
jar. The most protuberant facts in
the situation as the roads passed
back to their owners were:
Expect No Labor Trouble.
Gcternment authorities do not
look for any labor troubles of size.
The strike fever" has been abat-

vast majority of the 100000 EN-

servative brotherhood leaders.

Final Test of Private Owners.
Railway executives in general take
the position that private operation
now enters upon its final test, and

good" Financing Is really the Lig-
gest end Of the problem. Four to
six million dollars in the next five
or six years is the estimated need.
Under the bill, the roads will get
credits which for years have been
waning, largely on account OF TN
certainty as to governmental policy.
The railroads OF America in fact
now enter upon new era. Two de-.
cadcs ago there was the period Of
cut-throat competition with the evils
which brought about the anti-rail-
road movement. Then came the op-
posite swing to the period of "un-
restricted restriction" under which
the carriers began to lag behind and
their credit began to drop.
