SENATOR THOMAS ON OUR RAILROADS

Senator Thomas of Colorado has been prominent in the debate in the senate over the railroad bill. He doesn't seem to feel unqualified ap- proval of either private ownership or government control. He said the other day in formal speech:
 T once thought, and thought seri- OusIy, that inasmuch as the interstate commerce commission was far from successful, inasmuch as the regulation of the railway companies, try as hard as we might was accompanied by many discriminations and many abuses, government ownership was our last resort, and we ought to as- sume it as soon as possible. But if the two years of public administra- tion is a sample of government owner ship, then may God in his infinite mercy deliver the people of the United States from its longer continuation"
 In speaking of the importance of the railroads, he said In part:

HEADS SPARED

 RELIGIOUS VOW

r CHANGCHOW, Kiangsu Province, Aug. II (by Associated Press) pr. John Dewey, American exchange pro- lessor at the University of Peking, visited Changchow recently in the course of a mission lecture tour of China, at time when the ely was observing holiday and 1,0S0 Chinese Buddhists, becoming priests, suffered holes to be burned into their heads as a token of religious VOWS.
 The holiday was a spontaneous af- fair arranged by group of devotees of the Changchow Buddhist monas- tary, then graduating a class of nov ices in to the priesthood. Chinese had come from all parts of the country in response to a call the monastary sent out. The Buddhists at the same time honored the victims of the Taip- ing rebellion who were killed 60 years ago.
 The Buddhist ceremony of ordina- tion in China follows ancient lines that are barbaric-in the eyes of the Occidental-and this explains why the shaven polls of the priests the traveller meets are marked with deep pitted scars. The novitate is a matter of 40 days usually and at it's close, as climax of the temple ceremony, upon the shaved heads of line of kneeling novices are placed lighted cones of highly inflammable incense. These sink into the flesh as a chorus prayer issues from the throats of the assemblage. Upon the heads of the most devout-those taking the full vow' is placed circlet of 12 smould- ering incense heaps.
 Of the 1,O8O who became priests at the recent ceremony here, S22 took the full VOW while the others accept ing lesser orders, were sent forth with fewer scars, some with but one and the rest from two to nine

SPEEDING UP IMMIGRATION
 ELLIS ISLAND

NEW YORK, Aug. il (by Associat- ed Press).-The slogan of Ellis Island immigration officials hence forth is to be: Speed the incoming guest-politely. This decision was recently announced by Frederick A. Wallis, newly appointed commissioner of immigration, after he had played the role of tn immigrant for one night and had passed long and tire some hours on the island waiting for a barge for New York.
 So convinced is Commissioner Wal lis that immigrants are being need lessly detained on Ellis Island after they have been passed into this country by immigration officials and that other reforms are urgently need ed that he intends to move to the island from his New York home and devote both day and night to the work.
 Officials of the island, according to MT. Wallis, are adherents of the theory that an immigrants time is worth nothing at all.
 ''I am trying" Mr. Wallis said, "to break up the bad habit of detaining immigrants on Ellis Island after they have been admitted to the country. Ever since I took up my duties I ho immigrants sitting for hours in the crowded railroad rooms of the island I have found immigrants sitting in these rooms who had been there all day long, having passed by our in- spectors early in the morning. Last night became an immigrant myself and took my place on one of the benches in the railroad room It was a long time before an attendant announced that barge had come to take us to the railroad station. I fell in with a group that was going to | Weehaken to take a train and some of them told me they had spent a long tiresome day in the crowded rooms"
 In the work of getting the immi- grant through and out of New York swiftly, Commissioner Wallis will en- list aid of the railroad companies.
 Immigration" he explained, mo longer pours itself out into New York City, or into the crowded metropoli- tan districts of the East. It now flows out across this big country to smaller towns to the mines or mills. It is highly important for us of the immi- grafton service and those working with us-the railroad people, for ex- ample-to recognize this increasing tendency and to make as good an inn pression as possible on the incoming workers"

"Y" Membership
Statesmen Active

The thirteen committees of local
citizens who are selling memberships
in the local Y. NJ. c. A. report ex-
cellent results, and state that more
than half the desired membership has
already been obtained. 1t has been
stated that Mayor Sullivan promises
the members Of the various commit
tees a regular Bogalusa banquet at
the Pine Tree Inn if the 800 member
ships are secured before the middle
of August.
"By the way, have you ever looked
into this 'Y' proposition? You get
free use of shower baths, pool, gym
nasium, library, towels, soap, check
ers, chess, dominoes, ETC., reading
room, bowling alley, pool and billiard
tables, an expert track, basketball
and boxing instructor, and dozens Of
other things too numerous to mention
for the price of ten dollars year. If
you leave the city before the expira-
ton of your membership, it's just as
good in Chicago or New York, where
they soak you fifteen to twenty
''fish." AS it is here, you've saved
the difference. Here you are, sign
it right on this line"
This speech greets you on every
side. An insurance man is a rare
bird these days, compared to city
statesmen for Y. M, G. A. member
ships.

Victory Medals for
Marines By Oct.

Washington, D. c., July 15.-Vic-
tory Medals in commemoration of the
world war will be issued not later
than October /, according to an an
nouncement made today by the major
general commandant of the Marine
Corps. Following the delay in secur-
ing the proper ribbon and dies, it was
found that the Marine Corps could
not begin it's distribution until the
army's needs had been provided for.
In addition to the battle clasps and
citation stars authorized by the War
Department, a considerable proper
ton of the Marines, having served
with the navy both ashore and afloat,
are entitled to other marks author
lied for certain services by the Navy
Department. Accurate lists of all
men who are entitia to battle clasps,
citation stars and to the insignia au-
thorized by the Navy Department,
will be issued as early as possible to
all posts and recruiting stations Of
the Marine Corps. Men who are en-
titled only to the medal and ribbon
will not be shown on these lists, but
will be issued the medal and ribbon
on presentation of their discharge
certificates at posts and recruiting
stations. Marines who are entitled
to both the medal and any Of the in
sigma authorized by the War or
Navy Departments will be carefully
accounted for on the lists.
AS fast as received a liberal sup
ply Of medals, ribbons, battle clasps,
citation stars and the navy insignia
will be forwarded to posts and Ie-l
cruiting stations and advanced pub
licity viii be given in due time. A
preliminary order for $4,000 medals
has already been placed. The issu-
.ance Of medals and insignia will be
endorsed on the discharge certificate
OF each man now out Of the service.

.N.O.G.N Owns
1886 Freight Cars.
To the Patrons Of the New Orleans

To the Patrons Of the New Orleans
Great Northern Railroad Co.:
The New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad Company recently purchase I
200 SO-thousand capacity gondola
cars, making its total freight car
equipment 1886, divided by classes:
Boxes, $50; gondolas, 500; flats,
535; stock, SO.
Notwithstanding this addition to
the cOmpany's freight car equipment,
the management has been unable to
furnish its patrons with anything like
an adequate car supply. This is not
due to lack Of ownership of cars,
but to the failure of the company's
trunk line connections to keep the
interchange Of freight cars equalized
with it.
The company's present freight car
ownership is about SO per cent in ex-
cess Of its requirements. In other
words, the company in order to give
its shippers full car supply does not
need for use on It's rails over the
equivalent of about 20 per cent of
its ownership.
Since March / the company has
AASsA vi ASS Aet4AS al average OF OnlX
81 per cent of its ownership of cars.
It's car supply was further reduced
by Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's Service Order No. z. which re-
quires all railroads east of the Mis-
sippi river, for a period of thirty
days, to send their coal cars to the
coal mines. This order does not ap-
ply to railroads west of the Missis-
sippi river.
The management is endeavoring to
have the Commission on Car Service
at Washington, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission, establish
rules governing the INTERCHANGE, ex-
change and return of freight cars
which will insure the company a
freight car supply on the basis of its
ownership, which will be sufficient
to give its patrons a full car supply.

COMFORT AT LITTLE COST
Inventor Tells OF Idea Which Enables
Him to Have Hot Bath at Prac-
tlcaIly No Expense.

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell. in
ventor OF the telephone, speaking of
the Importance Of little things In Peo'
pies Magazine, tells of one Of his own
homemade devices.
Speaking of comfort In the home
he says, 1--WE thought about the hot
water problem. | do most of my hard
est work late at night and In the very
early morning; and l like to have q
bath between , aud 3 a. m. But, as q
rule, the water heated by the kitchen
stove has cooled in the boiler by that
time.
i got zinc tank and put 1t into a
wooden box much larger, so that there
was space of three or four inches
between the OUTSIDE walls Of the tank
ana the inside of the box walls. This
whole space | filed with wool. Hot
water poured into the zinc tank
found, kept its heat far longer under
those circumstances than in a con.
taner unprotected by the wool-alona
the lines of the lhermos bottle, N
see
but how tp heat the water? And
without waste; Ah, | was wasting
heat every night wasting it dreadful,
ly! Think Of how II poured from the
chimney of my Students lamp l ran
two pipes from the zinc tank into q
hood over the lamps flame, THIS os
tablishing IA circulation of watcy. | then
proceeded with my nights work.
Next morning the water in the tank
was little warm, but not warm
enough. found, however, that in the
evening when / reit the students
lamp there was still warmth in the
water from the zinc tank. So! 1t be
came n cumulative process, and In q
few nights ! had the water in the
tank too hot for me to hold NY hant
In IT,
THAT tank Is now in the attic OF
my Nova Scotia house, and its wa
ter, heated by my students-lamp idea
and protected by its wool covering
gives me a nice warm bath every morn
ing. The only difference Is that | gel
