Revelations of a Wife

II isn't very often that 1 say any

An Essay In
JAZZ
TILE DIESEL ENGINE.

Not long before he died Admiral
Fisher, the famous British sea
scrapper. broke into public with this
remark The future Of sea war
and sea commerce depend upon the
internal com bustion engine In our
humble sphere Of cOgitatOns we
thought that he League OF Nations
had handed sea war the poppy and
that great naval guns would bay no
more upon the briny. Evidently
we were tamperlng with the ouija
board and our perspective got tan
gled up with our expective. When
Il comes 10 sea commerce. howevah,
Bud Fish was there with the Spang
les. The future does depend upon
the engine that explOdes inside OF
itself instead Of outside. OF course
we are all hep TO the internal COM
bustion engine that loiters in the
engine OF our twin six out in the
garage, but that isn't the kind Of
engine milud was talking about. He
meant the Diesel engine. While the
auto engine and the Diesel are close
friends, they differ widely on ideas
about nutrition. The auto engine
eats gas and plenty OF it. while the
Diesel prefers heavy oil without re-
filming In the latter the pure air
jazzes into the cylinders and is COM
pressed until il is hot enough 70
kindle the oil. Hence no sudden ex-
plosion, but a slow com bustion that
makes the ship travel along without
getting nervous and temperamental.
But this is only one side Of the
value of the Diesel. The other side
is that il puts the kibosh on the
big boilers that take up half the
ships cellars and the huge coal

All this space can be filled with ad-
ditional cabbage, garlic or what
ever the ship hauls The reason why
warships love the Diesel is because
It does away with the great tunnels
that do nothing but pour out smoke,
thus making them shining targets
for the happy little submarine.

Labor's Exodus From Ohio Farms,

According to recent survey made
by an agricultural statistician of the
United States bureau of crop esti-
mates and the Ohio bureau of agricul-
tural statistics, there was a decrease
of 10000 men and boys over 10 years
of age working on farms in Ohio for
the year ended June, 1920. The sur
vey covered from 100 to 300 farms in
every county of the state. Eor every
man who came back to farm life dur
ing the year covered, seven left farms
for other work.
1t is estimated from the returns that
at present 100000 men and boys are
actually working on farms as COM
pared to 100000 year ago and APP
2roXimately 100000 three years ago."
Seventy thousand were reported as
having been hired for wages, while a
year ago there were nearly 100000.
About one-half, therefore, of those who
abandoned the farm during the twelve
months covered by the survey were
hired men.

LETTER TO A. H. SMITH
By Haley Fiske, President Of Metro
politan Life Insurance Company

New York, April 7, 1921
A. H. Smith, Esq,
President of N. Y. Central R. R.,
Dear Sir:
When we read in the newspapers
to which you sent it in advance of its
receipts by the addresses your letter
OF March 81 to Mr., Warfield and Mr..
Stone we were disposed to reply in
as sharp tone as that displayed by
you. But it seemed better to take
the matter under consideration. Now
alter the lapse OF week, we feel that
we should make protest.
This company holds securities of
your railroad and its subsidiaries to
the amount OF $23,0OOOO0 par value
and i'll addition has on its books loans
and agreements to loan over $4,000.
Geo on bonds and mortgages upon real
estate to finance your operations in
the neighborhood of your terminal.
AltogetheT our financial interest
amounts to $3200O,O0O This is about
Is per cent Of our total investment in
railroad securities.
Frankly it dsturbs It's to have your
board of Directors say that they rep
resent in their dealings with the pres
ent conditions OF affairs the stock
holder without any recognition of the
| superior obligations of the railroad
companies. 1t may very we'll be that
as matters now threatening the stock
VIII become a rather negligible guam
t1ty; the bond will never become so.
Our interest i'll your company is a vi
tai one. 1t is very disturbing to read
that you are disposed to ignore this
to find yourself and the board resent
any action on our part to protect our
interest. 1t is even more disturbing
interests. We have seen no DISPOSE
ton on your part to recognize our IN
terests or to consult with those who
IN sense own your property. On
the contrary, we have seen i'll the last
rather violent antagonism to our Ell
forts to promote helpful legislation,
which now that has been passed some
OF your people are taking credit for.
None of the railway arrangements has
thought it wise to seek any counsel or
TO recognize in any way the serious
situation in which we find ourselves.
On the other hand, you are Directing
il you will pardon us for saying So
in an offensive, not to say inperti-
nent way, to our endeavor to protect
our own investments. We feel that
we had right to expect co-opera-
ton and help rather than opposition
