ESSEX EMERGENCY BRAKE MECHANISM AN ADVANCEMENT

Many Essex owners have com mented on the ease of operation and security in the Essex emergency brake" remarked A. R. Pryor of Pryor Motor company. local Hudson Essex dealer. This is because the Essex brake constEuction differs in an important way from others.
 The difficulty experienced with some other emergency brakes is that the ratchet teeth are either too small and wear out quickly or they are too biz and then will never catch in the right place.
 Tn the Essex brake the ratchet teeth are made big and strong ane will last indefinitely. Then the pawls on the brake lever are double in- stead of single and one is set slight ly ahead of the other. This gives the same result as the small teeth as far as movement is concerned Hence the Essex brake is easy to set and to release but is absolutely secure and long lasting.
 Owners in hilly territory es pecially appreciate the ease and se- curtty with which the car can be locked on steep grades"

Titlis, June 1i.-Georgta and Ar menia seem to have a period of quiet now that bolshevtk rule Is def initely established. The govern ment power, while ostensibly in the hands of local revolutionary com mittees, is said to depend upon se- cret Russian committees.
 Bolshevik troops at Tiflis, Batum and Erivan apparently are on their good behavior. They are trying. it is said. to convince Americans and ether foreigners that the Baku out rages are not to be repeated So far there have been few executions. Most of these were for food specula :. tion.
 Probably half the people of the cities are without money and are be- Ing fed at bolshevik soup Kitchens
 The dollar, worth 5000 rubles three months ago. is quoted now at t2 times that value.
 Restaurants and nearly all stores. except those selling food. are closed In general forei gners have not been bothered, although palaces and the property of the wealthy have been requisitioned.

DASH INTO THE FAR NORTH FOR O|L IS ON
Fortune Seekers From All Parts of Canada and the
 United States Gather
By Associated Press

Edmonton, Alta, June I1,-Fortune seekers from all parts of Canada and various parts of the United States are gathering for their dash into the far north oil and mineral fields when navigation opens about the middle of June.
 Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Peace River Crossing, the latter two gateways into the Mackenzie River basin oil fields, are showing signs of great activity with large fleets on river steamers and gasoline boats getting ready for the short summer transportation season.
 Edmonton railroad yards are jam ming through freight for north points and both Fort McMurray and Peace River Crossing are experience ing unprecedented prosperity and bus tie. all coming from the first wave of the oil boom.
 The little town of Fort McMur- ray has already doubled its popula- tion since last fall and with the open ing of navigation it is expected to reach four times it's previous size. Many new buildings are being erect ed, while along the banks of the river boats, scows and lumber craft are be- ing constructed.
 Peace River Crossing also Is garner ing it's share of the rush. This town Is the temporary headquarters of the government parties going into the north country this year in addition to oil prospectors Ten government parties are getting ready at Peace River or have already taken the field from this point including four topo- graphical, three geological and one astronomical survey parties. Anoth- CT government party will make an exhaustive report of the possibilities of the new oil fields.
 River men say that they will be able to handle all freight offered for northern points. Recent heavy rains have filled all northern streams and solved the problem of low water which threatened to tie up migration to the Mackenzie fields

ATHLETIC GIRLS
 DO NOT MAKE THE

Campaign Now on in Eng land to CurtaiI Athletics to Certain Extent Among
 School Girls
Rr AsaacInted Prnsa

London, June ll---A campaign ir the interest of motherhood and against the ill-effects alleged to re suit from girls going in for athletics has been started here.
 resolution was passed at a meet ing of managers of giris schools and of women who claimed to have made study of physical culture protest ing against the present system of physical education for girls as in- furious to future generations. A small committee was formed to draw up and circulate a manifesto on the subject
 Several letters favor'ng the move ment were read Sir James Crich- ton Browne, author of books on mental and nervous diseases, wrote Physical exercise and training are as necessary to girls as to boys, but these must have regard to physio- logical and developmental considera- lions. To ignore sexual differences is to court disaster in the long run"
 Women who develop masculine in- stead of feminine instincts" wrote pr. Arabella Kenealy, do this at the cost of the male potential which is transmitted by the father to the daughter in trust for the male line. Athletic women produce female off spring mainly and seldom have sons When sons are born to them they are apt to be puny and delicate, or generally emasculate or of inferior type. The cultured classes, who are mainly afflicted by athletic training are failing to provide sons of the fine physique and the manly talents and initiative which have set our Anglo-Saxon race in the van of ev- olution."
 Suffer at Childbirth
 Miss Cowdray, the principal of a girls high school, who moved the resolution of protest. said that the girls who had been trained to play hockey, cricket and football suf- fered at childbirth. Sometimes the child suffered, sometimes the mother and sometimes one of them died Eighty per cent of the girls she had known who had been trained to be. come gymnastic mistresses had been incapacitated for motherhood.
 A girl had a large store of vital and nervous energy which she could draw upon if normally developed at the great crisis of motherhood That strength was a deposit account but if she used it a current account, as boy could afford to do. her chil- dren would pay the bill. She be- 1ieved that the Victorian girl was better mother than the modern athletic girl.

PrOfiteering Hurts
 Railroads, Charge

Chicago, April 22.-Wartime and postwar profteering were held res ponsible for large part of the finan- cial difficulties of American railroads in an exhibit by the railway unions before the railroad labor board to- day. Decreases in the cost of mater ials have already brought a large measure of relief to the roads, the exhibit said, and this should be taken into consideration before the employ es' pay roll is sliced.
 The two industries in which profit eering was most rampant were those from which the railroads purchased the bulk of their materials-the iror and steel industry and the coal mines according to w. Jett Lauck, econ omist for the unions, who compiled the exhibit, "a conservative estl mate," he said, "of what this profit eering cost the railroads from 1911 to 1919 is S75,0OO,000 a year in coa bills and $2O0,O00,OOO for steel an' iron products, including equipmen and repairs from locomotives and ca companies"

UNIONS CHARGE
 RAILROADS WASTE
Bonuses to Stockholders At tackled in Statement-Thir- teen Roads "Gave Away $27,546,051 to Stockholders.

Chicago, April 24.-Financial mis- management of American railways involving the dissipation of tremen- dous sums in bonuses to stockholders unnecessary costs of marketing se- curities, interest and dividends on excess capitalization and other losses was charged in an exhibition filed with the United States railway labor board by the railway unions and made public today.
 The exhibit took up the history of 20 roads in an effort to show that they issued fictitious capitalization during the period 1910-1919, totaling $692, 100000 during this time. It was also claimed they issued bonuses or stock dividends amounting to $233, ,000 and through other forms of financial mismanagement sustained losses amounting to $123,000,000 In addition it was claimed that 13 rep resentative roads, during the period referred to, dissipated, through im- proper methods of marketing their securities, the sum of $51, ,456,878.
 Disbursement of interest and divi- dends on excess capitalization it was said, were now costing the St. Louis & San Francisco $2,432,661 annually; the Reading Company $5,350,000; the New York Central $6,848, ,000, and the Baltimore & Ohio $692,230.
 During the period from 1910 to 1913, 13 railroads gave away in bon uses to stockholders the sum of $27,- 546,051," according to the report. Because of the magnitude of the i'm mense bonuses issued to their stock holders in recent months by the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy, the Southern Pacific Company and the Reading Company, these roads merit special consideration.
 "These bonuses include a stock div idend of $6O,O0O,OO0 declared by the Burlington in March, 1921; bonus of $76,0O0,OOO distributed to Southern Pacific stockholders in connection with the segregation of it's oil prop critics in December, 1920, and gra- tuity of $23,SOO,OOO issued to stock holders of the Reading Company in connection with the segregation of its coal properties in March, 1921," con- tinued the statement.
