MERGING rsAr1RoAps,

Under the transportation act 1t was required that the interstate commerce
 commission should make reconmenda-
 tions as to what should be done in the way Of consolidating the railroad systems
 of the country so that better transpor-
 tation might be afforded and better con-
 ditlons prevail among the roads. Even
 though recommendation has been made
 by the commissions expert after careful
 study there is no assurance that 1t will
 ever be followed since compliance
 herewith Is to be voluntary, It Is also
 to be noted that more than one possi-
 hllity fr the way of consolidation Is pointed out and that particularly con- carns the New England roads
 For the New Haven system the com mission believes that there should be union either with the Baltimore 6 Ohio Or else the New England lines might combine and be connected with Great Lakes system. As was indicated some time ago nothing is said about the con- the Pennsylvania the possibilities of
 which many have urged for years. Not only Is the plan tentative one, but 1t is a proposition that is bound to
 have hearing concerning the various mergers. In putting forth plan the commission has, however, furnished a basis for thought and discussion. It | will now be the duty of those who are interested in the various systems in one way and another to make quite as care 1 ful Q study of the idea as the commits
 sion and it's expert has. to determine ! if improvements can be made and fur l nish the reasons for them. The consol- | idating of big and little, rich and poor | systems cannot be expected to be put 1 through in a minute. It will take time i and careful inquiry on the part of those
 directly involved and if ever consum- mated it will only be after careful scru-
 tiny and in all probability many 1 changes.

oDD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT

In the early part of the last century there was started an earnest effort to entirely abolish, or at least to regulate, the old colony law Of Imprisonment for debt. The movers in this abolishInent felt that no class of the community de- served consideration more It had been the rule that for the smallest debt pos sihle to contract, though it were but cent in value, the body of the debtor, whether man or woman, would be seized by the creditor and cast into jail.
 Each year poor wretches had been dragged to prison by thousands on what were truly called spite actions. Once behind the prison walls they were con signed to a fate harder than that which awaited worst criminals. Murderers and thieves, forgers and counterfeiters were fed, clothed and cared for at the ex- pense of the state; but for the unhappy man whose only offense was his inability to pay trifing sum of a few cents, no such provision was made The food he ate. the shreds that covered him, the medicine he took, nay, the very rags he wrapped about his sores, were provided. l if provided at all, by his friends, by the public or by some humane society.
 The room in which he was confined 1 with scores of other offenders was ut terly without furniture of any sort. In | it were neither beds. nor tables, nor 1 chairs, nor so much as a bench or stool. He sat on the floor, ate off the floor, and at night lay down on it like a dog, and 1 this misery he endured until he died or his debt was paid or his creditor released 1 him.
 Against this, at length. humanity re- volted, and in 1794 a change for the bet | 4 4k 1 the inspector should provide fuel and | blankets for such debtors as, by reason of their dire poverty could not get them
 and should make an allowance of seven cents a day for food and charge this
 against the creditors. If any creditor
 refused to pay after ten days notice his 1 debtor was to be discharged.
 l For twenty two years the community
 seemed to have thought that this milo
 concession was all that humanity re. quired, for no further change was made until 1914. Then was passed the Bread Act under which each prisoner, whose debt did not exceed fifteen dollars, was 1 entitled to a discharge after an i'm. prisonment of thirty days.
 From documents presented to the
 senate of New York in 1877 it appear.
 that the keeper of the debtors jail 1
 New York City certified that during 181( nineteen hundred and eighty four debtor.
 were confined and that upwards of G0t
 were always in the prison. 'T',o a',~"'7 of. the county certified that eleven hun. dred and twenty nine Were 3nyI.:-.-., for debt under fifty dollars that O these seven hundred and twenty min, owed less than twenty five dollars, ant that every one of them would have starved to death but for the assistance of the Humane Society.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921
Big Ear Mounds

You simply coin this phrase earmound ds to get around the less understandable medical or anatomical phrase that you'd have to use otherwise.
 Look around among your friends and
 see if some of them have not faces which are prominent right in front of the
 ears, and their heads likewise a little
 prominent in back of the ears; in short
 whose skulls apparently have bumps or
 mounds developed right where the ear is attached
 This skull development is what we choose to call the ear-mound. Strangely enough it indicates twc things which in the mind of the aver age person are very far apart, but which in realty are much the same, destructive ness and executive ability. Have you ever noticed that where you find one of these characteristics or ten dencies you usually find the ether? They occur in varying degrees of combination controlled by the balance of the indiv 1 iduaTs other faculties, his intelligence 1 his practicality, his reasoning powers ! and his moral qualities.
 1 But executive ability is simply thu higher order of controlled destructive ness. The good executive is the one wh, destroys the obstacles in the path to tht results he wishes to achieve. He is es sentiaIly an elimiaator, sweeping aside ! ideas and emotions of others. or customs and habits of others which interfere
 with efficiency in the tasks to which h.
 has set them. He has the energy to over l come obstacles whether they are people 1 ideas or things.

AIDING CHILDREN.

How extensive the efforts are that are put forth today ill behalf of the chii- dren is indicated by the statement from Washington to the effect that 5oo.0 .000 teachers and 1S,0O0 900 school children are to become a part in making health i fundamental part of public school education.
 For Q number of years increased at tention has been given in schools to the question Of health and preventive measures looking to that end, but there
 Is apparently a plan, backed by the bu- reau of education. to increase such work where it exists and to develop it where there is little or none at the present time and certainly rousing campaign can be conducted if all the teachers and school children can be got ten to work together.
 Helping the children is a most com >mendabIe effort They are deserving of all attention all advantages. all meas ures for better health that can be pro- vided for them The plans to overcome the outstanding ills of the day if highly desirable but it is to be hoped that it will not result in the children of future generations looking to institu- tions for their guidance entirely instead of to the home. It would be most un- fortunate if there was to be a weaken ing of parental responsibilities Throughout such plans as are being made for aiding the children there are indications that the parents are not do ing all that they should. Evidence aplenty can probably be produced 1T | that respect but there ought not to bt any encouragement to further relaxa | ton.
 Parents will doubtless welcome what ever help can be given their childrer | in any educational manner to supple ment their efforts. but they are likel,
 to be bit opposed to putting that re 1 sDonsibility upon others entirely. Fol 1 the good of the child the home influence in most cases cannot be wisely. dis pensed with.

Thinking my condition was the natural result of coming old age, I kept rocking along not expecting to ever feel well again.

Another had been imprisoned SIX years and was supported by charity. In the face of such evidence the legislature of New York state re tented and in 1877 forbade the imprison- ment of debtors for sums less than twenty five dollars. This led the way and state after state followed.
 When the new states in the west fram- ed their constitutions they ordered that no one should be imprisoned for debt. The old statute was finally stricken from the laws of the eastern states, until to- day none of our states has a law requir- ing that a debt must be paid or impris- onment, excepting it has been contracted under some fraudulent misreprensetation Tomorrow-Johnson's "Swng Around
