HOOVER TELLS STREET
 RAILWAYS HOW BIG THEY ARE

Address of Secretary Hoover before the American Electric Railway Asso- citation, Atlantic City, Thursday morn ing, said:
 One of the outstanding results of the present unemployment conference has been to impress on everyone the unlimited interdependency of our var ious industries. Not that the general fact was unknown or unexpected, but the conference has brought the fact forward with startling distinctness
 Your industry is no exception to this, but on the contrary is probably one of the most conspicuous exam pies. It would appear that the only thing which kept you going, as an in dustry, during some of the past years has been the very necessity of your service in order that the rest of the community could progress and func- tion industrially and socially.
 When I speak of your industry I mean and visualize the urban and inter-urban transportation business. For I assume at the outset that ex- cept for the natural desire to pro- tect your reasonable investment in railways as such, you recognize your responsibility to furnish to com munity the transportation which is necessary for its development and success irrespective of what physical agency you may deem best to utilize for the purpose.
 But, even with the necessity of your
 
 stand, in a critical condition though in a way which differs from the condi- tion of other industries in many re- Spects.
 The condition of your industry is indeed critical in many respects. The whole condition has arisen, at least in part, it seems to me, from a lack of appreciation both on the part of the general public and your own part and of the basic interdependence of your industry and the rest of the in dustries of the community and coun- try.
 Some of the data which bear upon this are astonishing and conclusive of the point.
 You represent a fixed investment said to be about 100000, upon which a great deal of industrial and other business credit is based.
 You employ some 30o,00O men in normal times.
 You burn annually over 16.Ooo,ooo tons of coal.
 You have 8 gross income, estimat- ed for 1920, of some s955, 5,OeO.OOO of nearly S60,00O,00O in wages is repaid to the communities in taxes, not to mention he paving maintenance which most of you carry.
 You buy directly supply material which costs another S300,OO0,O0O.
 You buy, in normal times, another s20O, 100000 worth for extensions, re- placements, etc.
 You transport, each year, from 12,- 900, 100000 to 15,000. 100000 passen- gers-12 times as many as the steam railroads.
 The very marshalling of this data indicates the close relation your in dustry has to other industries, and it's importance to the nation.
 There is another element to your

ELIMINATION
 RAGE CAUSES
 MUCH RIVALRY

Boston, Oct. .15-Rivalry between the firshing fleets of Boston and Glou- international trophy in the fsherman's race of Halifax, N. S., will be put to a test tomorrow in the elimination race to select the American defender.
 Both cities have furnished some of the abIest and fastest vessels that have ever flown the American flag. The swiftest sailing ship that ever spread canvas to the winds of heaven was launched at Boston.
 This was the extreme clipper, Light ming, launched at the beginning of the year 1854 from the Boston shipyard of Donald Mckay. a native of Nova Scotia, and the premier designer of American clippers in the classic age of the sailing ship
 When the rush to the gold fields of Australia was at its height, James Baines, of Liverpool, England, manag- ing owner of the Australian Black Ball line, ordered four ships from Mckay, and all. were delievered in 1854. The first and most famous of these ships to take the water was the Lightning, of 2,OS4 tons; quickly followed by the Champion of the Seas, LAS tons; the James Baines, 2,515 tons; and the Donald Mckay, 2,598, next to the Great Republic, the largest clipper ever built.
 When the Lightning was ready for sea, Baines sent the ab1est captain in the Australian Black Ball line, James N. Forbes, to take command of her. Forbes had made his reputation as commander of the Marco Polo, the fastest clipper built in St. John, New Brunswick. He set the pace over the great ocean race course between Liv- erpool and Melbourne, Australia
 One of the first shipmasters to fol- low the great circle course into high southern attitudes wEen running his Fasting down. (Sailing EaStward) Forbes had clipped weeks off the best previous passages from England to Australia. Bully Forbes, as he was known among sailormen, was hard driver of ships and men when at sea though there is no positive evidence that he was brutal in his methods but ashore he was a hammered man, who regarded himself as an au- thoEitx on theological matters

service too which must not be over looked, and that is the housing situa- t1on-the adequate planning of com mun1ty life. As you who have de- VeIoped the industry realize, the only factor which makes possible a healthy expansion of housing facilities beyond the confines of congested city districts is that adequate transportation be available.
 I mention all these facts, most of them of every day knowledge, to you for the purpose of emphasizing the close interdependence of your indus try and the industrial life of the com munfty.
 The public, on dts part. not only must recignize you as an industry and business subject to the impact of economic laws that dominate the other industries and businesses.
 To be sure, the classification of your business as a public utility has entail ed regulation of rates designed to take the place of competition which is in the main absent, and inteIligent reg ulation realize the necessity of prop CT erturn on actual capital invested if these services are to be extend ed and maintained.
 There can be no question that in the face of rising prices, wages, with at the same time a regulated income, both industry and service have suf- fered greatly during the past six years; falling prices and wages will inherently improve this situation.
 Beyond this. however, there is need ed a. better understanding of the in ter-relation of these factors with each other and of your importance to the ployment as a whole, if we are to re- cover economic stability, and if these services are to develop.

THE HOWLAND DRY GOODS co.

In Boston, he met Captain Lauchlan Mckay, wha had made some remark able passages in the Sovereign of the Seas and other clippers, and who at cause the huge clipper, Great Repub- lie of 4,555 tons. which Donald Mo Kay, his brother had built to smash the records in the Australian trade, had recently been badly burnt in New York. Forbes got into an argument on theology with Mckay, and as they were still disputing when the Light ming was ready to sail, he invited Me Kay to accompany him on the voyage. He wanted to continue the argument and incidentally have assistance in handling the latest creation of the Boston shipyardS
 The Lightning left Boston in mid February, bound for Liverpool Out side Boston light the two captains forgot all about their argument and devoted their attention to tuning up the big clipper for the dash across the Atlantic. In the hands Of these two noted shipmasters the Lightning put her best foot forward, and de- veloped a speed never gotten out of her on subsequent voyages, an unusu- al thing for a clipper on her maiden voyage.
 Although she encountered an unus- ual percentage of eaSterly gales for the season of the year she made the run round the north of Ireland to Eagles Island in 10 days, and to the Calf of Man, within 80 miles of Liv- erpool, in 12 days, and anchored in the Mersey in 13 days Is hours from Boston.
 At noon on February 2S,while bear ing up for the North Channel with strong southerly gale sweeping through her spars. the Lightning be- gan the greatest days run ever made under canvas. During the following 24 hours. she carried away her big foresail main jib ana other sails and, with the ship p1unging wildly in 0 heavy sea, it took some time to bend new sails. In spite of this handicap, the thoroughbred clipper made a run won the distinction of leaving behind her in a single day more miles of salt water than any other sailing ship that ever p1oughed the seas.
 Although Forbes allowed the James Baines to establish the record from Liverpool to Melbourne, 6S days, the Lightning made the record for the re- turn voyage, also G3 days. On this record passage the Lightning was bal lasted with 55,OOO,000 worth of gold dust and nuggets. She ran 3,722 naut- ica1 miles in 10 consecutive days, mak- ing 412 miles in one day.
 Many of the Boston-built clippers made noon to noon runs which mark ed them as the speediest craft af1oat in heavy weather.
 The Sovereign of the Seas ran 424 nautical miles in "A hours; the Don afd Mckay 421 and the James Baines

 The best days run recorded for an American cup races was that of the Vigilant on g. voyage to Scotland, 255 nautical miles.
 After the American clippers aban- doned their bid for the commercial primacy of the seas, the British built clippers made remarkable voyages. The Thermopylae, owned for years by Robert Reford, of Montreal, ran from London to Melbourne in 63 days, eQualing the James Baines record from Liverpool to Melbourne. But the most famous British-built clip pers, the Thermopylae and the Cutty Sark were less than half the size of the Boston clippers, and though they were unriva1led in moderate weather, they lacked the sailing carrying pow CT of the bigger and broader-beamed American craft.

 Washington, Oct. 15 - Political Washington is laughing and not a few Members of Congress are inclined to indignation over an adroit move en- gineered by the Anti-Saloon League leaders to build up throughout the country a smoothly welded dry ma chine capable of yielding tremendous political power.
 The dark, deep. dank plot, as it is unhesitatingly called by some Senators The axe was forthwith applied to it, but not before 1t had caused some un- easy moments for lot of Senators and Representatives who are to come up for reelection next year.
 The plot had it's inception in the reorganization of the prohibition en- forcement division. Until few months ago the United States was divided in- to regional sections of three and four States each, with a regional director at the head of each.
 Reorganization by States.
 When the Republican new broom whisked into Washington it was de- cided to make enforcement of the dry law a matter of States instead of sec tions. The enforcement division was overhauled, the old regional directors dispensed with and it was proposed to inaugurate forty eight State directors, each with his personnel, and responsi- ble for the enforcement of the law in his own particular State.
 The Anti-Saloon leaders, usually quick to suspect and to question any new legislation affecting the enforce ment of the dry law, interposed no objection to the reorganization. In fact, they were for it. Everything looked lovely. Senators had more pa tronage at their disposal, the dry watchdogs were satisfied, and nobody had any kick.
 Then the wheels began to revolve. Quietly and unostentatiously the An ti-Saloon League representatives be gan to go to individual Senators and

 Washington, Oct. 15-Prohibition in the national capital is a theory rather than a fact.
 While liquor is not sold openly in hotels and restaurants, there is still plenty to be had at a price and of a quality. The bootIegging fraternity thrives in the shadow of the Capitol. Dozens of these gentry have estab lished we'll organized channels of re- ceiving and disposing of liquor.
 Police Court Judge Mattingly is authority for the statement that arrests for drunkenness in the national capi- tai have increased 50 per cent. since the District went dry.
