Delos F. Wilcox Declares
Traction Plan Is an
Experiment.

Severe criticism of certain as
poets Of the Federal Electric Rail-
ways Commissions reUOrt. filed with
President Wilson last week, has
come from DR.. Delos +. Wilcox. of
New York City. puIic utility expert,
who aided the commission in the
analysis Of the testimony taken last
year at the public hearings on the
electric railway situation, held in
this city and New York.
DR.. Wilcox rediCules the fact that
the commission rejects public own
srship as experimental, but ap-
proves serviCe-at-COst, which is
more experimental"
His analysis, though described by
the commission as "a complete and
masterful study of the whole cleo
trio railway problem" is not to be
published, and his study showing
the detrimental effect Of high fares
is to Be excluded from the record.
The record is to be printed at the
expense Of the American Electric
Railway Association.
Wilcox made comprehensive
aaalysis of she evidence, including
detailed trafic and revenue figures
from most of the important street
railway systems of the country.
showing effect Of fare increa ses.
The figures Indicated that as. fare.
20 UP the usefulness of the railway
lines goes down.
He reached the conclusion that
the only permanent solution Of the
electric railway prOlsm would be in
public ownership and operation.

Scores imposition Of
Small Fines.
PubIic Ledger ScrviccD

The conduct of - few federal
Judges and "several" district attor-
neyS in the enforcement of tho ma
tion- wide prohibition law was at
acllod in a statement issued yester-
day by Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel
of the Anti-SalOOn League Wheeler
charged the imposition of small fines
and the demand for excessive evil
de lco Was hampering tn, enforce
ment Of the law and cncoura eing
bootleEgcrs. Lack of State enforce
mrnt codes and the use of the issue
$ a "political football were other
reasons given by Wheeler for the
failure Of the law to prohibit.
THE law enforcing situation is
complicated and unsatisfactory in
several StatcS.' he said. Nine
States have no State enforcement
codes. In addition in Ohio. CaIifOr-
MIA. Wisconsin and Missouri the leg
islatures enacted enforcement codes
and they have not gone into effect
because of a referendum vote forced
by the vets for this fall. Some of
the federal agents are not doinG
their best. \ limited number have
been corrupted.
"A few United States district
Judges have encouraged the boot
leggers by giving small fines and
displaying an antagOnism to the law
in the conduct of the case. Several
district attorneys have required evil
denCe of a character before they will
act that precludes effective enforce
ment.

CAMPAIGN TAX DENIED

President Luther C. Stewart, of
the National Federation of Federal
Employees, has demanded Represen-
tative w. A. Rodenberg prove his
charge that Federal workers are
being forced to contribute to the
Democratic campaign fund.
Immediate court investigation

federation, President Stewart SAYS
in telegram to Representative
Rodenberg, If proofs can be found
Rodeaberg. former United States
Civil Service Commissioner, was
quoted as saying:
RodenberE Statement.
1T is a matter Of record in Wash
ington that these employees are tax
ed certain percentage of their SAL
aries for Democratic campaign pur-
poses, and if the total were made
public it would startle the entire
nation. We hear a lot about the ad-
ministration's failure to cut down
the number Of useless employees on
the governments pay roll, number
ing thousands.
1t is plain to see the real reason
for not doing so as long as they are
able to pay tribute to the campaign
chest of the. Democratic party. This
system is comparable to the scan
dalous cost-plus systematic great
er the cost, the greater the profit"
Threatens Prosecution.
If Rodenberg can furnish sub
stantial proofs of this charge. prose-
Cution of officials responsible for
the collections under the Civil SerV-
ice law would be demanded, Stewart
said
The law reads:

Folks often wonder how a candI-
date can make a new speech at every

is that he does not. When he starts
out to campaign, he has set speech
antire campaign Twice a day, a
good Campaigncr will change his
lead and thus get out two new
stories daily. But not all of the
candidates so that far. On the days
that they do not change their
speeches, the newspaper men scratch
gravel. One candidate with whom I
travelled delivered the same speech
Sc many times that / learned it and,
one night up in Pennsylvania, l de-
liv"r"d $500 words of it.
Col. Roosevelt. the best personal
press agent this country ever has
known, had his stenOgrapher take
two new leads daily for the news
paper men. Thus he got over big.
Charles L. Hughes was not a good
press agent, did not change his
speeches frequently and hence he
suffered. President Wilson changes
his speeches frequently and usually
furnishes good copy though one
must lie familiar with the Presi-
dents line OF thought on the sub

readily in long hand.

George Anston. 92S New York ave-
nue. northwest. has started a dis
cussion among Americas scientists.
Il am not willing to take any

I couldn't believe the statements or

to experimenting until l was fully
convinced that it was the lungs and
not the heart that makes the blood
circulate. The subject fascinated me,
so l resolved to make it the study
of my life.
Anston has perfected a machine
that works like the cirCulatOry sys-
tenn and which he offers as proof
of his theory. We breathe for two
purposes" he says TO force the
blood into circulation and to cool
the blood, keeping our body heat in
an even or nearly even temperature.
AS the blood circulates. heat is
generated due to the friction of the
blood through the capillaries of the
body. and heat means life 10 us. But
this heat must be maintained to an
even temperature.
When the air we inhale is hot
it does not cool the blood and causes
peTspiratiOn.

does not purify our blood as the old
theory tells us, for the air and the
blood do not get into actual contact
