New York is Slowly
Untangling Itself
From Real Strike

New York, April 2O.-New York
was slowly untangling itself today
from the snarl Of congested railway
traffic resulting from the unauthorized
rail strike.
Notwithstanding optimistic claims
of the railroad managers, both pass
enger and freight service on several
lines were reported to be crippled.
Volunteers were used by some roads
to run passenger trains.
Partial resumption Of traffic in the
tubes under the Hudson river today
brought relief to thousands of COM
muters who had been forced to rely
upon ferry transportation for more
than a week.

DISSERTATION ON
u. S. ARMY MULE

Washington, April 19.-Almost
everybody and everything that con
tributed to the winning of the war
has received some sort of public rec
ognition from the war department..
Even the patient, long suffering, hard
working and often rihculed army
mule has at last come in for an ap
probation from the quartermaster
general.
Here follows the Glow down" on the
army mule as it comes today in an Of
fetal publication. There were more
than As, 900 of them engaged with the
army overseas, and more than 100,
900 with the troops in the United
States, and while there was as much
hee-hawing, kicking, baking, biting
and other mulish tricks as might be
expected the army mule lived up to
his established reputation for endur-
ing sacrifice and dying like a SOL
dier.
They were not all American mules ;
some of them were allies like the
troops they fought with. Seven thou
sand came from England and nine
thousand came from France, and an
other 1000 came from Spain.
"There was no comparison" said
the quartermaster generals an
nouncement, between the small, poor
ly nourished mule, secured in Spain,
and those purchased in southern
France, and the powerful outstanding
mealy-nosed product of the middle
west. There was a sharp criticism in
some places of the class of animals
which came up from Spain for duty
on the battlefront. But these little
animals were able to haul machine
gun carts, releasing the heavy animals
for duty with the artillery and am
munition trains.
"There were times during the fin
al stage of the world war when it was
impossible to give much needed rest
to these animals. There were not
enough to do the work which con-
fronted them and the result was that
it was necessary to keep on the move
forty eight, sixty and sometimes sew
enty two hours, with hardly more
than pause. Then it was impossible
only to feed a small amount of grain
and few handfuls of hay Under
this strain the mule went forward,
giving his all uncomplainingly.

A-DAY FOR DAD

There was movement a while
back to establish a day for dad.
Father was going to have one day
of respect and tribute alone with
mother. -.
But dad is such an unromantic per-
son that even the holiday nlaniacs
could not get up much enthusiasm.
And when holiday maniac gets dis
couraged it must be dreary topic in
deed for the maniac delights in moth
ing so much as in injecting half
dozen more holidays into an already
overburdened calendar.
With the returning of the legions to
school we feel that dad should get a
few. words of sympathy.
Teacher and mother and pupil all
have their kind words, but dad gets
nothing; all he does is dig.
And how the poor man has to dig

The children have to be dressed
decently; they have to be equipped

maps, and the hundred an one ex-

AN IMPORTANT POINT.

One phase of Senator Hardings
candidacy is giving the party bosses
some worry. 1t is charged that in his
early days he played in the village
band. There is also some difference
of opinion as to what instrument
young Harding manipulated. Some
say it was the cornet, others that 1t
was the alto horn. The point 1t apt
to have such bearing on the cam
paign that an expert has been called
into consultation. He says there Is a
wide difference between the cornet
and the alto horn. The alto horn IS
convenient in filling in harmony, and
little more. The cornet is the most
important instrument in the band.
Now If Senator Harding can only play
the alto horn on the political band
wagon, think his friends, he will not
amount to much; but If he can play
first cornet with this organization he
will probably make himself heard. 1t
lis a serious matter, and the reply OF
the former bandman himself is await

WHERE IS THE COT
TON COMING FROM?

The following rather remarkable
statement of facts comes. from the
New York Commercial:
"While crop conditions generally
are showing improvement the conol-
Hion of the cotton crop is so low as
to cause anxiety. The American Cot
ton Association places the condition
at 68 per cent Of the normal, which
means that we will this year harvest
the sixth successive short crop. A
number of untoward conditions have
conspired to bring the situation to a
focus. The severe winter, wet spring
and late start Of the crop, together
with the serious inroads caused by in
sect damage, are important factors,
but added to these are others That
have been working for sometime with
out being appreciated. At least two
million laborers have left the cotton
fields since 1914, attracted else
where by higher wages. and the loss
Of this number from the important
states amounts to serious shortage
in working the cotton fields. Further
more, the class of labor that has BEEN
attracted away has been of the more
efficient kind, so that the loss in ef-
ficiency has been greater than repre-
sented by the actual numbers that
have gone. What effect this will have
on the cotton market remains to be
seen. Theoretically there should be
In the course of time a very sharp
