RAIL PROBLEMS
Continued from PAGE One)

All of these points of dissatiSfac-
ton are to be examined in the ad-
ministration inquiry, together with
the general relation of IL healthy
transportation industry to the ma
tons commercial life. Even the
tariff question. which is to furnish
the principal topic of consideration
for the next session of Congress. is
considered by administration officials
10 be closely interviewer with trans
portation policies, since in some in
stances present import duties are
said to operate to the serious diSad-
vantage of American producers by
permitting foreign products to reach
American centers at u lower cost
than railway born domestic goods of
the same character.
The most serious feature of the
situation, however, as it has been
pictured to administration officials is
the apparent inability of the carriers
themselves to make both ends meet
and at the same time keep service
mp to standard. A number of high
railway officials have called on Mr..
Harding since his election and have
told him that unless some way TO in
creased earnings were found the
whole transportation system Of the
nation faced paralysis Such Il
possibility. the railway men have in
sisted, could only be viewed as a
public calamity.
It is understood that although few
definite remedial programs have
been suggested in these conferences
most of those who have presented
the carriers side of the problem had
advised against any general increase
in freight rates. A further material
rate increase in the present condition
of the nations industry Mr.. Harding
has been told, might result in such a
curtailmcnt of traffic as to actually
reduce earnings rather than increase
them.
On their side the. railway employees
have vigorously protested against
wage reductions as an economic eXpe-
dent, declaring that living costs re-
ouire that wage schedules remain un-
changed.
All along the possibility Of a gen.
eral railway strike has made both
railway executives and government
agencies think twice whenever a wage
cut has been suggested
Added to this and contributing ma
terially to the present unsettled con-
ditions of the industry has been the
confusion and inconvenience of restor-
ing the roads from wartime to
peace-time basis and of unscrambling
the various properties after long
period of operation as one system UNI
der government control.
1t remains a question whether the
roads will ask Congress for direct fl
nancial relief in addition to that pro-
vided under the transportation act to
compensate them from deterioration of
their property while it was in govern
ment hands. Such a proposal would
be certain to develop bitter opposition
in some quarters. adding another COM
plication to a situation that is expect
ed TO develop some very knotty prob
lens before, the administration and
Congress have found solution.

WHY JOHN WAS NOT SMOKING
Probably the Widest Idea Of His
eliminates Would Have Been
WIGs of the Mark.

All the men at the club have been
watching Johnnie Edwards, the invet-
crate smoker, for the last week, and
there's been much surmising and con-
occurring, but Johnnie wouldn't give
himself away. 1t seems that Johnnie
has held the prize for the champion
smoker Of the club for ten years.
In the last week Johnnie has been
seen strolling around the room with
a detected, lost appearance and be-
tween his lips always the inevitable
cigarette. But it was never lighted.
Nobody liked to ask him questions and
he didn't volunteer any explanation, SO
it wasn't explained until Jimmie Van
Week overheard him say on the tele-
phone:
mo, you have got to stick to your
word now. l swore off If you would,
and goodness knows / want one bad
enough, but Doc says you've gotta
leave 'em alone for a while. Now be a
good little mother and remember your
promise. New York Sun.

CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET
Use Of Aecelerator Causes "Short
Circuit" Of Pedal Nerves or "Motor
Foot" It Is Said.


When car owners return from their
summer vacation many of them re-
turn limping. A new summer cpl
demic is at large in the ranks Of vaca-
tionlsts.
The new ailment has been given the
popular name of motor foot" In the
language Of surgical chiropody 1t is in
dexed and classified under the name
Of 'metatarsal displacement"
Continuous motoring is the cause
Of the ailment. 1t is right foot
trouble caused by the continuous strain
occasiOned by long motor trips when
the driver keeps his foot in the strained
position required by the use Of car
acceleratOr.
This position causes a displacement
Of the metatarsal bones which in turn
causes them, In motor language, to
"short" the nerves Of that part of the
foot. This in turn is the answer for
the pain that accompanies the dis
tinctiOn Of possessing motor foot"
motor FOOT not only makes walk
ing painful, but practically eliminates
golf. tennis or any of the other popu-
lar forms Of active recreation. y

think enough about the persons from
whom the invitation is received to wish
to do so. If you do not send present,
however, simply through indifference,
then do not attend the wedding party,
but write timely regrets.
Even though you are not invited to
the house or in fact are not Invited to
the wedding at all, If the one married
is a dear friend you are quite right in
sending present If you wish to do SO.
In order not to give the bride some
thing that she Would not care for it
Is permissible to make inquiries con-
corning her wishes on the subject. 1t
is better, perhaps, to make these
through third person and not to
ask the bride personally, but rather a
sister or close friend.
1t is customary for the bridegroom
to give the bride a present of some
sort of jewelry on the occasion of the
wedding, but this is by no means es-
sential. The bride sometimes also
makes the bridegroom present at
this time, but this is even less essen

may give her jewelry that she wears
on her wedding dress and her bouquet.
he must supply no other part Of her
bridal array.

GIFTS FOR THE BRIDE

Never do thing concerning the recti-
tude Of which we are in 1doubt-Pliny
the Younger.
II EMEMBER that wedding gifts
N are always sent addressed to the
bride-to-be even though you may
never have met her and you are a
friend only of the bridegroOm-to-be. If
you receive invitations to the wedding
or know of it before 1t occurs then
the gift should always be sent before
the ceremony and the present ad-
dressed in the brides maiden name. {.
Silver and other articles to be
marked with an initial should bear
the first letter of the brides maiden
name, usually. There are, however,
some young women who prefer to fol-
low the continental European fashion
and have their silver, etc, marked
with their married initial. If you
know this to be the case have your
gift marked In this way.
If you do not know Of the marriage
until after, 1t has occurred the gift
should still be sent to the bride only,
but It should of course be addressed
to her married name.
A wedding gift may be something
personal for the bride or something
that is for both bride and groom as
an article of household decoration or
furnishing. 1t should never be some
thing that is especially suitable for
the bridegroom, as for instance. a
smoking stand.
The understanding usually is that
If you receive invitations simply to
the wedding ceremony at the church
no present is due. but that II you are
invited to the house to the wedding or
a wedding reception-a present is in
order. Now, it is never In reality bad

never OverpOwer it, the Rain did not,
and In trying to show its strength 1t
would do great harm.
And then 1t was, too, that the Wind
discovered that 1t could not do this
alone, in spite Of its Dragging and
being able to drive the Rain before It.
As soon as the Wind stopped blow
Ing and began to think, the Rain came
down faster and faster and the pools
grew into little ponds, for now It was
sure 1t had OverpOwered the Wind and
was master of everything.
But this was not true, for over the
tree tops and over the hills and noun
tains went the Wind, running swiftly
toward the east, for there 1t knew
was Mr.. Sunman, and he could always
make everything right.
"Oh, Mr.. Sunman," called the Wind
wake up quickly and get ups There
Is something terrible happening" and
then b told Mr.. Sunman all about it,
taking it's part Of the blame.
1t was very hard for Mr.. Sunman to
get up that morning for the Rain had
thrown thick blankets of clouds over
him while he slept. but with the help
of the Wind he at last threw them off
and up he got and away they ran.
Up higher and higher they went,
and in short time away went the
Rain and even the ponds and little
rivers and pools were soons taken care
of, and all that remained of the dread
full quarrel werek the tears of rain
dropping from the leaves.
The Wind carefully ran among the
trees and helped Mr.. Sunman dry
them, and by and by all was we'll in
the land, and now the Wind always
goes over the hill and mountain tops
early in the morning to awaken Mr..
Sunman and sometimes If you listen
you can hear the sound of it's heavy
breathing as 1t runs.
