tAssociated Press,

Washington, July 21-Freight rates
and refrigeration charges on citrus
fruits and vegetables from Florida
were held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to be not unreasonable in
the aggregate. Charges on vegetables
except celery. under refrigeration,
were held unreasonable as they do not
provide in instances where lower min
imum weight and higher rate apply
than under ventilation for alternative
application of the same rate and the
minimum as under ventilation. 1t was
also held that refrigeration charges
on fruits and vegetables were unreas-
enable in that they are based on an
excessive quantity of ice.

the bill which will be voted on again

NEW USE FOR MoLAssEs.

GYM OUT of gas. Let me have five
gallons of molasses this time. .
II the owner of car were to make
this remark at an American service
station, there would be hasty phone
call for the police patrol.
In Cuba, the same request would
merely provoke smile and secure
for the driver five gallons of the au-
tomobile fuel now used in the ma
jority of Havana cars.
Charles E. Hires, Jr., of the
Charles E. Hires Company, Philadel-
phia, who has lately returned from
the company's sugar plantation in the
island, says that the passing Of the
eighteenth amendment automatically
destroyed Cuba's market for millions
OF gallons of molasses. This molasses
was formerly refined in America and
distributed to the brewing companies.
When the brewers ceased to brew
molasses became drug on the Cuban
market temporarily.
Now large percentage is being
converted into denatured alcohol and
forms the base of a new automobile
fuel used by practically all of the
cheaper, and many of the more ex-
pensive cars in Cuba. This fuel sells
for 20 cents gallon against fifty
cents gallon for gasoline.
In spite of the bottom having
dropped out of the sugar market
and of prohibition in the United
States" remarked Mr.. Hires. "there
are seemingly as many cars on the
streets of Havana as. there were a
year or two ago. Cuba has found
market for her molasses crop.
What does not go into automobile
fuel, is turned into pure alcohol and
shipped to South America where
there is no eighteenth amendment. If
Cuba can work out her excess sugar
problem as satisfactorily she has
nothing to worry about"

AN EDITORIAL FOR BOYS.

4 BIG man died the other day. He
= was one of the leaders of ST.
Louis, a city of more than three
quarters of a million people, and his
name is known around the world. He
was George Warren Brown, head of
the Brown Shoe CO., one of the larg-
est in the world, and a product of
his own genius and ability as an or
ganizer of men and capital. His
death took place in Tucson, Ariz., in
his 6Sth year.
George Warren Brown was the
best friend I had in the world" said
Lawson Stapleton, of Americas, rep
| resentative of the Brown Shoe COM
pany in this section" and l greatly
regret to learn Of his death. For
nineteen years he had been my
friend, fact Of which ! have always
been proud 1t was many years
ago | that ] was in st. Louis working
and CHANGED to connect with his con-
Germ. / have never regretted it, and
have been with it ever since.
THE life and success of George
Warren Brown should be an example
for every boy in this country. Mr..
Brown went to St. Louis 48 years
ago as clerk. lie then was Just
out of school and 20 years old. Be-
fore he was 81 he was promoted from
shipping clerk to travelling salesman
and he remained on the road for five
years. At the end of that time he
resigned and organized the pioneer
shoe manufacturing concern of st.
Louis and built it into a vast enter
prise. The policy of the Brown Shoe
4 company as outlined and developed
by its founder was to make the or
ganization out of employees who had
learned the business in the plant and
when Mr.. Brown retired from active
connection with the company five
years ago he turned its management
over to men who had grown up with
the organization, himself rethining
the title of chairman of the board"
The history of achievement and in
dustry in America is full of examples
/ OF this character which should be,
and are to great many, the most
wonderful inspirations and incentives
to boys to make the best of what is
/ in them. Taken at is literal mean
ing, there never was a greater fallacv
than that portion Of the great Decla
ration of Independence which asserts
that all men were created free and
equal. Men are not equal, by nat
ural ability, intelligence or environ
men, But all men are equal in this
great country of ours in opportunity
and it is up to every boy to make
the best that is in him come out.
That is what George Warren, Brown
did, and that's what most of our
captains of industry have done.
Americas has produced some of
the very greatest, and it has ma
terial for many more.

Dick went white at the sight of it.

which the director wanted in a most

reconciliation. q kiss of contrition in

Thereafter, Dicks performance de-
lighted Donaldson immensely. AL
though the convict's pursuers batter
ed at the door, Dick could not tear
himself from the little woman who
had kept her faith in him and whom
he never expected to see again. He
managed to flee just in the nick of
time across the chalked boundary of
the set and out of the field of the
cameras.
His parting embrace left me as
sured that for once l had made Dick
Barnes own up that he was Jimmy
