Autos Add to
Rail Incomes
SaysR.R.Man

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Dec Is
Who said automobiles have taken
bread from the railroads.
Here are figures. given out by
J. s. Marvin. general traffic man
ager Of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. which
show that tho railroads of this
country have increased their rev.
enues thru the automobile industry.
And they could have added thou
sands more TO their incomes had
they had enough freight cars.
Last year shipments Of complete
" assembled automobiles brought n
total freight bin OF $1,000 900. says
Marvin. Add TO this $4,000 900
freight charges for shipment OF auto
mobile parts and the total income
from the industry In 1919 Is es-
timated at $4,000. 900. Due to In
creased freight rates. Marvin esfi-
mates the same amount OF material
would cost sss.ooo.ooo to ship this
year.
But 10000 automobiles had To
be delivered by their own power
last year, because there were no
freight cars to take them. And in
the first nine months OF 1920 so
severely did the car shortage strike
the motor industry that 440.73o ma
chimes. equal TO 10000 carloads.
were delivered to buyers over the
highways.
ALLOWING 10 per cent Of this guam
tity as nearby or local deliveries. and
800 a carload as an average freight
charge on the remaining 1900 car
loads" says Marvin. "the freight
revenue lost to the carriers thru In
ability 10 furnish cars during these
nine months was nearly $4,000
600"
To the 800. 900 900 calculated
earnings for the railroads this year
from this industry alone, there
should be added the revenue to be
obtained from shipments In and out
Of factories engaged In making
tires, engines. frames. bodies and
other automobile parts.
Finally there IN the transporta-
ton required TO supply gasoline and
OIL TO the 5000. 900 automobile own
ers In the United States.

Since the war, aviation has fallen

NEW ANESTHETIC FOUND

From the Wilmington Morning News.
 "A NEW type of ether which elimi- /A\ mates pain without of con- S = sciousness and practically eliminates the nausea that generally follows the use of ether has been devel- oped by E. l. duPont de Nemours & Co, of this city, and is now being produced. The new anesthetic is a highly refined ether modified by the addition of cer- tain gases which give it these new and desirable characteristics.
 In addition to its use as an anes- thetic in ordinary practice, it's ability to produce insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness opens up an en- tirely new field of usefulness, including the large class of operations which are now performed without any attempt whatever to eliminate pain.
 The most common of these are in dentistry, where the new etlier will render painless such operations as nerve treating, removal of roots and drilling and filling of teeth, and in ob- stetrical cases where only a small amount of the ether is required to re- lieve the pain It is also especially

HOW SOME PHRASES STARTED

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Many phrase in common use otday dates back to the mother country, England. and reflects old customs. long dead. Long ago in the days Of feudalism the dependents of baron or feudal lord displayed his badge pinned on their sleeves Sometimes, while on an expedition of their own, these vassals exchanged their badge for that of another. to prevent recog- nition. This gave rise to the saying: You may wear the badge. but I can not pin my faith on your sleeve: require sonA further evidence whence you came.- To this day. we hear the expression do not pin your faith on it."
 Another phrase of old origin came from an incident of the sixteenth cen tury at Westminster. In December 1540 the abbey church of St. Peter was constituted cathedral, with a resident bishop Ten years later this order was revoked. the diocese of Westminster being united to that of St 1 Pauls cathedral. It's revenues were granted toward repairs of the latter church, what was taken from St Peters and given to St. Paurs. Sc we refer to an event which happened almost four centuries ago when we speak of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

ruEy DELIvER THE GOODS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Then acting president of an eastern college for women, arguing for bet
 ter salaries in the teaching profession and discussing strikes as possible remedy. cites the reported $20,000 sal
 ary of Babe Ruth paid him for
 half a year, and Dempsey's "s1O0,- ooo or s300,O00 for a single fight" as evidences of a discrimination against
 the teacher in contrast with those who
 follow other professions"
 Perhaps Ruth and Dempsey receive more pay than the service they rem der society justifies. Beyond ques- ton. teachers should have far more salary than they now get. Other pro-
 fessons are also sadly underpaid.
 Matters are awry in many particu-
 lars.
 But the world is capricious in it's
 rewards Ruth's salary is measure of his superiority over other men in
 his vocation. Regardless of the ethics of Dempsey's calling. the world ac-
 claims him conspicuous success. It pays to be pre- eminent in any field,
 but pre- eminence pays particularly we'll in fields that interest millions of people.
 A college professor capable of at tracting as large a crowd on & hot day under a scorchins July sun as gathered to see Dempsey and Willard in Toledo Ia st summer could comma nd as large an income as the victor of that 1 occasion. A teacher as efficient as Ruth in thrilling great masses oi | people week after week whenever he appears in working clothes would have no occasion to envy the great players large salary, Dempsey and Ruth de | liver the goods, such as they are
 That is the simple explanation. 1 We do not pay teachers enough. Il remains to be shown that we pay oul l great amusement stars too much.

in February and November, 1920, and every citizen is urged to read the pamphlet and then go and register. "
 It points out that every citizen who will be 21 years of age on election day, pays his poll tax, if subject to it, and registers within the time specified by law, may vote. Poll tax must be paid by February 2, includ- ing the current year and all ar rearages.
 It is stated that some men have paid their poll taxes for one or two years, but overlooked the fact that they missed a year or two some time back. The law requires that when even one year since 1901 has been omitted that fact will prevent the citizen from voting.
 It is suggested that all persons registering look over their old re- |ceipts, or if they have lost them go to the courthouse and search the. rec |ords, to make sure that when election day comes around they will not be denied the right to vote because of a failure to pay poll tax some past Itrna

Supreme Council Is Unable
 To Solve Vexatious Problem,

| WlT HILE the disbanding of the w supreme council without having settled the much discussed Adriatic question is by no means surprising, it is nevertheless discour- aging. It amounts, to all intents and purposes, to confession of failure, of inability to reach an agreement in ] a controversy that means great deal to the future peace of Europe.
 The Adriatic question is still prac- 1 tically where it was when the war ended. Months of deliberation have come to nothing. "While there's life there's hope" but it begins to look as if the quarrel of Italy and her neigh bors would never be solved, except i by the old, ,time-worn method of war.
 Relations between the Jugo- -Slavs dilu ti!c lldlldIlS nave been SCTdlDeu for some time and the tension is in- creased by the supreme councils failure to arrive at a practical, or rather acceptable, solution, for jeal- ousy and national greed, more than anything else, are to blame.
 In American eyes, the disposition of few insignificant towns and islands seems scarcely worth the trouble that has been caused by the wrangling of Italy and the Jugo- Slavs, but in that part of the world these matters loom large. Devastat- ing wars have been fought for less weighty causes.
 That "new era" on which we were supposed to be entering is proving after all, to be much like the old characterized by the same human weakness and folly.
