RAILROAD RETURNS NOT CUARAN TIED UNDER
 TRANSFORMATION ACT

A good many citizens have the mo- tion that the transportation law enact ed by Congress early this year guar antees a minimum return of 6 per cent to every railroad. The purpose of this bulletin is to correct that i'm pression.
 Following the specific requirements of the new law, the Interstate Con- merce Commission divided the United States into four regions for rate mak- ing purposes'-O the eastern states; (2) the Southern states; (3) the cen tral part of the country, east of the Rocky Mountains, and (4 the terri tory west of the Rockies. This done, the Commission made valuation of all the railroads by regions, and then established freight and passenger rates which, in it's judgment, would give an aggregate return of 6 per cent of the total value of the railroad property in each region. But no individual road is guaranteed per cent, nor any other rate of return.
 The law fixed 512 per cent a. the minimum earnings on which the com, bined railroads of region can safely operate, and gave the Commission the discretion of raising the minimum rate of return to per cent, which was done in the case recently decided.
 Competition-one purpose of the law-is maintained in every region, and the railroads will fight for busi- ness as they did before the war. If any road fails to secure sufficient bus mess to make per cent on it's valu- ! ation, it is out of luck ,and must look to some source other than the gov ernment for direct relief; the law does not give it. If any road makes more than per cent, it must split the ex- cess earnings with the government weak roads may borrow in emergen- cies. If all the roads combined in a region earn 6 per cent, the law will be 1 satisfied, even if some individual roads make nothing at all. If the earnings on the combined railroad property of the region are under 6 per cent, it becomes the duty of the Commission to readjust the rates.
 The Santa Fe System lies in the central and western regions, and it's property, therefore, is valued in two regions for rate making purposes. Some of the Santa Fe's neighbors made money prior to federal control, and some of them lost. That situa- tion may continue to obtain under the new law. While earnings for no road are guaranteed, the machinery of the law is supposed to work in such a manner that railroad credit will be improved, which will help the rail road industry generally, and give the public assurance of better service.
 The government having taken the railroads and used them for its own purposes for 26 months, did, after it got through with them and returned them to their owners, guarantee earn ings for half year, to allow time for investigation of rates; but that period expired the last of August The railroads now depend wholly on what they can earn on the rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion.

Peculiar Mud Geysers.

The mud geysers of the SaIton sea.
California, came into existence recent
ly, and cover little more than two
acres. They are so-called mud volca-
noes and are various-sized caldrons of
hot mud.
Some of them first appear as small
springs and others develop with loud
explosions which tear holes in the
earth from four to ten feet wide and
to a depth of ten to twelve feet.

the level of the sea. and until a few
years ago was dry. From 1904 to 1906
water was diverted into the basin by
the irrigation canal from the Colorado
river, and it became Il lake.
Since the stopping of the flow of
water into the lake it has been rapidly
sinking, and the mud geysers have re-
appeared in the same vicinity in which
they existed before the lakes forma-

REAL FOOTBALL GAME
PICTURED FOR VIOLA DANA

Real football was played for the
production of Dan Gerous to Men, "
to be shown at the Grand theatre,
for two days, beginning Thursday
next, with Viola Dana in the star
role. Through Maxwell Karger, di-
rector general of the Metro, an in
terscholastic contest was arranged
between the Santa Monica and Ven
ice, California, teams.
The beach cities Of Venice and
Santa Monica were placarded with
announcements of the game, and To-
cal papers carried stories predicting
that the known rivalry between
"Samohi" and Venice would make
the game itself more than a tame
exhibition for the camera.
The players did not stop outside
the camera lines, as regular actors
do, but kept right on until each play
was finished, to the great JOY of the
spectators in the grandstand. Sec
tions of rooters, well equipped with
noise-makers. a goat mascot, uni
formed band, and a corps of cheer
leaders for the rival schools added
genuine gridiron atmosphere to the
affair. Four cameras were used to
photograph the scenes. On one oc-
casion the game was so exciting that
one of the cameramen forgot to stop
cranking when the signal was given.
In the stage play, Eliza Comes to
Stay" by II. V. Esmond, from which
A. p. Younger made Dangerous to
Men," the little country girl, Eliza,
is sent to a fashionable prep
school after the death of her father.
This game is the first athletic event
she has ever seen. Viola Dana en-
joyed the contest on location as
though it actually were her first
game.

Appreciation of the Potato.

In this country the chief and practi,
cally only interest in the potato today
is as Il vegetable for the table We
are greatly surpassed i'm this use by
Europe, and Germany in particular.
In that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
in normal times, while our own was
two and a half. The lahorers of east
ern Germany ate IL bushels per an
nun. The other European countries
are, as rule, far above us and the
diet Of many an lrishman is said to
he potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast dinner and supper. In ad-
dition to this direct consumption uses
of the potato largely unknown to
Uncle Sam are for -four starch, dex-
trine, glucose and alcohol.

MARIE LTD"

Marie, Ltd" typical story OF
metropolitan life, is Alice Brady's
latest starring vehicle which Select
Pictures offers on Sunday and Mon
day at the Grand theatre.
The story of " Marie, Ltd" re-
wolves about the fashionable Fifth
Avenue millinery establishment of
Marie billiard, the mother of the
character portrayed by Alice Brady
-Drina Hilliard. The story opens
when the mother leav her hus-
band and daughter in the West to
come to New York to establish the
firm OF Marie, Ltd"
Drina has been educated in a con-
vent in the West with money fur
nished by her mother. Her father
has been financially unsuccessful
and while she would prefer to re-
main with him she is determined
that as soon as she is through col
lege she will go TO New York and
help in the millinery business. In
this way she will be able to prove
her gratitude to Marie although she
would much rather teach or write.
On the trip East, the train is held
up by bandits and she makes the
acquaintance of Blair Carson, a
wealthy New Yorker, who has been
admiring her during the entire trip
and hoping that chance would give
him the opportunity of becoming
friends with her. Blair is fascinat-
ed by Drina's charm and Beauty, and
promises himself much of her com
pany.
But when Drina arrives East she
is thrown constantly in the company
of Colonel Lambert, an old rounder,
who patronizes Marie's on behalf of
his chorus girl friends. Mrs. Hill
lizard is anxious that Drina and the
colonel marry but Drina protests,
since she does not love him.
Colonel Lambert has become
enamored of Drina, much to the
jealousy of Zelie, a F'rolics girl, who
informs him that Marie has been
overcharging for hats and dividing
the profits with her customers.
Lambert threatens to expose Marie
unless Drina marries him. She re-
fuses Drina suddenly realizes that
it is Blair she loves but knows it is
impossible to win his love because
she has constantly avoided him and
he has become very friendly with
Ze1ie.
Many exciting incidents follow
each other in quick succession, which
brings the picture to a happy ending.

u1oHELENA PORTRAYs
DANCE-HALL QUEEN

peatris Michelena, one of the most
hsautiful and magnetic actresses of
tbe screen, has vivid and intensely
vital role in her new production,
aueart of Juanita," made under the
direction Of George E. Middleton.
No character in life or in drama
makes a stronger appeal than that
of a woman whose sins are of the
heart. whose impulses have made
her the victim of brutal man who
uses her as a dupe and then casts
her aside for another.
Juanita, queen Of the dance-hall
in the primitive settlement, was not
a yirtuous woman by conventional
standards, but she was faithful to
one man. Used as a lure by Jim
Brandt, the dance-hall boss, Juanita
was the life of the primitive place
Of amusement. When a fluffy-haired
blonde from San Francisco captured
the fancy of the boss, Juanita's love
turned to hate.
"Ye fool! Ye amt got any strings
on mel" tainted Brandt. Juanita s
Spanish blood boiled in rage. You
promised to marry me! Now you
laugh! But you'll laugh no more!"
she cried, and sank knife in his
breast
The young trapper up in the hills
gave her refuge from the pursuing
posse, and she repaid him by saving
his life. Calvert, the trapper, fought
hand-to-hand fight with knives in
his little cabin, and won the love of
the impulsive dance-hall siren.
There is life, and color, and tense
dramatic action in Heart of Jua-
nita," which moves with a rapid pace
to thrilling climax.
This picture will be seen at the
Liberty theatre on July 12.
