NEW SHIPPING BOARD
PROBLEM FOR HARDING
President Finds Difficulty In seIec'
ton Of a Chairman

Washington, March 12.-(By A. P.)
Decision regarding the membership of
the shipping board still was in abey-
ance today.
President Harding is understood to
be encountering difficulty in inducing
any of the men he has in mind for
chairman to accept the place. He has
hoped to name as chairman some man
prominently connected with shipping in
tcrests, but the principal barrier to that
has been provision Of the law. under
which board members must sever all
their connections with private shipping
concerns.
From the start Mr.. Harding has de.
termined to select a chairman first and
then fill the remaining membership OF
the board about him.
1t Is understood that under the cir
cumstances the only man virtually GER
tain Of appointment to the board IL for
mer Senator George Chamberlain. Of
Oregon, Il Democrat. Whether Admiral
Benson, the former board chairman,
who now il carrying forward the or
ganizations affairs under temporary
request from the President, will be re-
appointed to membership Is said still to
be undecided.
Today the President discussed the
situation with several members OF con-
gress, including Senator Fletcher, Demo
Crat, of Florida, n member of the Senate
commerce committee.

CALIFORNIANS GOT
ABOUT EVERYTHING
BUT SUZANNE'S GOAT
They are Returning West Without
That Because Molla %Mallory
Stepped in and Claimed 1t.

New York, Aug. pa little group
of California men and women and chill
dren came east few weeks ago with
some tennis racquets. They are going
back home soon with almost every
thing the east has to offer in the way
| of championships, silver bowls and
cups. If they couldn't get the whole
cup they took one of its legs. Two
things they wanted but failed to cap
ture were the women's national cham
pionship and Suzanne Lenglens goat.
Mrs. Molla Bjursted Mallory acquired
both for the greater glory OF the east.
1t was with the hope of showing
Suzanne Lenglen that she couldn't cor
ner the market in olive branches and
laurel wreaths that the two greatest
women players who ever came out of
the west--Mrs. May Sutton Bunday
and Miss Mary X. Browne-returned
to tournament play after long years in
retirement. In Mrs. Bundy's case, the
absence extended over almost fourteen
years, and Miss Browne had been out
OF the title chases half that long.
Because Suzanne Lenglen coughed in
opportunity's face when he knocked at
her door last Tuesday, neither of these
Californians who once were titular ten
mis- queens, met her. But they met and
conquered most of the other women
stars assembled hereabouts, with the
exception of Mrs. Mallory and Miss
Eleanor Co.'S
Mr.. and Mrs. Mallory will never for
get the thrilling, slashing game she
had to play last Friday to eliminate
Mrs. Bundy in the national semifnals
nor the stamina and strategy she was
forced to summon to retain her title
the following day after Miss Browne
had won the first set of the finals.

RUSIE BACK

New York, Aug. 22.--Amos Rusie

Polo grounds during q recent game be
tween the Yankees and White Sox
marveling in Babe Ruth. whom he de-
clared to be the greatest figure in base

"It's been 10 years since saw a ma.

The game surely has taken long
strides. Back in my day we had some
heavy hitters, but none of them could

He sat unnoticed by players and fans

Although Rusie has not witnessed

wears, he said he had kept up with the
game through the newspapers.
Rusie said he didn't approve of put

Give them a chance 10 develop. In

INCREASING AXE

Every once in 4 while some state official of Wyo-
ming after q hearty dinner tells the dear taxpayer of
the state how rich we are growing and just how long
it will be until there will be no necessity of levying
taxes for state purposes. This sounds fine and puts
heart into the person who reads it. Then the outside
world takes up the fairy tale and comments with great
wonderment upon the unheard of Situation-a tax
less state. But to the home taxpayers the taxless
day never arrives Instead, when his tax bill comes
to him it shows a consistent increase year after year.
The approaching ~taxpaying period may well cause
alarm for the increase in Natrona county is approx
mately 20 per cent over last year. To make it explicit,
IL your taxes amounted to 500 last year they will
amount to $3.50, when you settle with the treasurer be-
tween now and December 81.
The total value of Natrona county property re-
turned for taxation in 1920 amounted to 4 $780,
O87; for the year 1921 it reaches the total of S61,-
o6s, 73e, an increase in value of $12, LOT, 652.
In 1920 the levy for state purposes was 3.09S mills.
For 1921 it is 4-3527 mills An increase of .oo37
mills.

county property for 1920 produced to the state s1s4,

FIND A NEW ALIBI.

It would seem that we ought to be inventive enough
to discover a new alibi. To scratch around anc dig
up a new plea and not continue to blame all unfor-
tunate circumstances and conditions and untoward
occurrences upon the poor old war. It has become
too cheap and convenient aAnethod of excusing things
and passing them ever to another day and time, in
stead of seeking a curative method, applying it and
ending a large share Of our present troubles and in
conveniences-
1t has become a habit and in pursuing it we have
abandoned our initiative and our energy. The human
family has never yet been called upon to face a sit
uation that has been so completely hopeless that it has
given up in encouragement. There is always n way
and history shows numerous shining examples.
In most cases industry and application have proved
the means of extrication. Whining and excuses have
never accomplished anything.
And it would be mighty fine and mighty cheerful
and encouraging to hear some fellow say things with
positiveness and do things with determination instead
of employing the old subterfuges, the familiar equivo;
cations, lodges, deceits and lines of least resistance.
And blaming the times for our own shortcomings.
If we don't quit doing in the sunshine, and wake
up and go at things this old war stuff will stick with
us for the next decade. Get it out of your system.

RAILRoAD FACTS.

Writing upon the subject of ordinary things about
railroads, that no one stops to consider. Floyd Par
esting facts worth knowing:
Perhaps the greatest waste of coal is by our rail
roads. At the present time the country's carriers use
about ~ per cent of all the bituminous coal produced
in the United States each year. If this tonnage were
placed in standard coal cars and coupled in a single
train it would have a length of 26,260 miles. If NOV
ing at a constant speed of 20 miles an hour, this train
would require SO days to pass a given point. Such a
volume of coal would be sufficient to pave a roadway
from New York City to San Francisco, one foot in
thickness and one-haif mile wide.
The railroads are badly in need Of locomotives and
cars. If our transportation lines were to effect a saw
ing of 2 per cent in their annual CONSUMPTION of coal
the amount thus laid aside would be sufficient To pur.
chase several hundred modern locomotives and thou
sands of freight cars. For each 1 per cent of fuel
saved the railroads of the United States effect a d.
rect gain of about 8 million dollars, while the indi-I
rect savings amounts to a sum that is equally as great.
OF all the coal that is used in the frebox of a loco
motive, only 6 per cent of the total value of the fuel
is applied to the work of moving the freight or pas
senger cars.
when a pound of coal is burned in a freight loco
motive at ordinary freight train speed, it will furnish
sufficient energy to carry one ton Id miles. An or.
binary passenger locomotive consumes a pound of
fuel for every SO feet it travels. Each unnecessary
stop made with a heavy freight or passenger train
represents a fuel loss of from 500 to 750 pounds of
coal, depending on the weight of the train, the length
of the stop and the grade conditions. A brake line air
leak on a train of SO freight cars has been known to
cause a loss of as much as 2,540 pounds of coal in a
10-hour period. The loss of coal each time a mod
ern locomotive pops off for five minutes is about rs
pounds. If locomotive fremen were to save a little
more than one shovel of coal out of each ton used,
the total saving would be equal to nearly 1 per cent
of all the coal handled. :
'The ultimate in fuel economy on our railroads is
a long way off. Railroad practice in many parts of
our country is far from being modern. For example
the brick arch, If applied to an American locomotive
and properly operated and maintained, will save ap
proximately 10 per cent of the locomotives fuel; yet
some of the largest roads in the country are only now
commencing to equip locomotives with this well known
fuel saving device"
