consideration and Thoughtful trestmenf from the
managers first. rather than from the lawmakers.
What is proposed is an elaborate systen, Of m
terlocking Operative supervision and co-ordnation
under series 'of commissions or boards. starting
with hve-member board from the Interstste Com.
merce Commission Under this board would be q
national board of forty members selected from the
railroad rnansgemeAts.
O these twenty would form the railroad off
eials" membership and would be named in equal
numbers of ve from each OF the four great regional
divisions The other twenty would form the finance
administrative group. For each of the four terri
toriar sections the FIVE members of the railroad
officials" group. reinforced by two chosen from the
shippers, would form q regional board of seven. In
each OF these regional divisions there would also be
ten boards of hve members each collaborate with
the regional board of such matters as
wages, working conditions. equipment, fuel, sup
plies, etc.
To the oniookers this is of equal interest as to
the security holders and managers. II is the on
locker who pays the bills. 1t is he who is the VIC
tim of any lack of vsion of too great separation of
lack OF consent to cooperate and of that willing
ness of the big to let the little "go to- The ade-
quacy of transportation service has been brought
very close home to the bulk of the population.
There is little left of the prejudice against rail-
road consolidation and pooling. These are a nat,i-
raj consequence of modern conditions. The big
should take the weak and make an integral inter-
supporting whole. Competition, save in service and
excellence of management are of the past. Financ-
ing is under regulation.
The next natural step is for the railroads them
selves to draw closer together in some such way as
Is suggested but under permissive legislation which
would not taboo that Hexibility reorganization, mod
ihcation or expansion which trial and experience
might provefo be the better way. What the rail-
roads may really need is to have their managers
brought together, and told to sit in until they had
worked out plan of their own and then be told to
put it in operation to save themselves from them
selves and from further restrictive laws.

Regrouping the Railroads.

THE National Association of Owners of Railroad

Cumnins plan to compel by law the co-ordi-
nation of railroad operation. 1t is based upon the

phasiees IN this way the growing tendency to re-
gard the railroads as falling into these four great

FRESHNESS OF FISH
Is CHEMISTRY INVEsTIGATIoN.

To learn how to keep fish fresh
has been the object Of investiga-
lions that the Bureau Of Chemistry
Of the Department Of Agriculture
has carried out for the past four
or FIVE years. This work will have
to stop at the end OF the current
fiscal year. June so. 1921. because
Congress failed to appropriate
money for it's continuation. Il was
intended that the Bureau Of Fish
cries should take over these tests,
but that organization was not all
lotted money for this purpose.
This work included a study Of
changes occurring in the compost
ton Of the flesh of the fsh from
the time they were caught. and
while they passed through the chan
nels of commerce. until they reach
ed the fined consumer. Studies for
developing the best kind Of pack
ages and the best method for ship
ping the fish so as 10 reduce 20 q
minimum the changes that take
place were the objects Of many
shipping experiments.
Carloads OF fish under carefully
controlled conditions were shipped
from ports on the Gulf and Atlantic
coasts to inland cities throughout
the United States. Careful observa-
tions were made OF the temperature
changes and Of all the other fac
tors which had a bearing upon tho
condition OF the hsh when they ar
rived at destination. As a result
Of this work marked improvements
have been made in the methods ot
packing and shipping fsh and many
inland cities which heretofore wcre
unable to obtain fresh hsh of good
quality now receive fresh hsh in
first-clsss condition.

CORN is AMERICAS
OLDEST OWN CEREAL.

Corn, Americas staple grain. is Of
American origin. and was domesti-
Gated in America. probably in Mex
leo. long before the traces Of the
first man, c. N. Collins. OF the De-
partment OF Agriculture. told the
Anthropological Society at it's meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the Ma
tional Museum This disputed ques-
tion Of origin has at last been set
tied by the plant itself. because Of
the similarity OF maize and the ma
tive grass teosinte.
When Columbus discovered Amer
lea the distribution Of types OF corn
was the sans as that shown by the
earliest fossil and archaeological re-
mains, indicating that in all the
years between the beginnings OF
human existence on this continent
and the coming Of the white man
to the New World. there had been
very little progress toward further
differentiation OF the corn into new
types.
'It IL thus indicated that the time
necessary to develop from a COM
mon ancestor the many different
kinds of maize that now exist. must
be measured geologically and not by
centuries" Collins declared
While the manner of the origin
Of maize has not been discovered,
several theories have been proposed.
That IL arose as a hybrid between
Iteotinte, a Wild tall grass Of Mexico.
and an unknown plant. probably
with edible seeds. is the theory
that best accommodates the facts.
according TO Collins. Pod corn" Is
, not an ancestor Of domesticated
maize, he said.
Corn is the only cereal com
pletely dependent on man for its
existence. and No hope Is held out
that there will be discovered the
wild plant which was combined
with teotinte to produce corn Maize
cannot easily distribute its seeds.
nor can the young plants compete
with other vegetation. Neither is
maize particularly resistant to
drought. alkali. cold or excessive
| moisture. Collins pointed out. and
while all Of the other cereals under
favorable conditions may escape
cultivation and persist for a. time
unaided. there are no records OF
escaped maize.
! Whether corn was introduced into
Asia before or after the time OF
Columbus is another question that
has not been fully decided EVi-
dence seems to favor post-Coiun-

ATTACK ON PRESI-

nEPLORES ATTACK ON PREsI-

To the Editor, The washington Herald
noticed in the paper that the
President of the United States OF
America, who by popular vote OF
the citizens Is placed in the highest
position a man can care for or, OBJ
tain in this country, and criticised
and rebuked by the president of the
Massachusetts Council of the
Friends of Irish Freedom. Why
should he. when he is performing
his duty. be criticised by those who
are trying to stir up war and i'll
feeling between the English and the
American people? The United States
troops are not in uniform to be
shown of to people for the sole
purpose of show or to satisfy their
ideas. why should a man like that
be allowed to publish such criti-
cism? His place is where Debs and
a few others are, and where more
should be. How do the F. I. F. ex-
pect to obtain the sympathy OF the
American people IL they start such
things as is credited to President
HarriSan OF the Massachusetts
council?
Brig. Gen. Ruckman and Rear
Admiral Dunn did right in not al
lowing the troops and sailors to pa
rade in the Massachusetts celcbra-
tion. Harrigan is catsing more
harm to the Irish cause than he
thinks. Many people are in SYM
pathy with those who are suffering
but their attitude will undergo a
Croaf cbapre, after thew read I've
paper and see what he has written
about the government refusal am
not Irish nor English. so my opinion
is not based on hatred. for one side
or the other. As for the Tory spirit
being tolerated in America, I think
that the Americans have something
to say about the United States for
awhile yet, anyway. The way the
Irish have been trying to excite the
Americans and English to take up
arms against each other will soon
turn Americans against the cause
Of the Irish. and they can blame
no one but themselves.
The Irish cause is just. as most
of US know. and we believe that the
Irish should be free and tndepend-
ent, but we do not and never will
