SCORE TESTIFY
IN HEARING ON
0NE-MAN CARS
Davenport Motorman Declares New
System is Safer-PauIson
to Testify.

Chicago. Sept 15-United Press)
Whether a one-man operated
street car is as safe as one on
which are both q motorman and
conductor was the question the IL
Hnois commerce commission today
was called upon to solve for the
residents of Moline, East Moline
and Rock Island.
Twenty witnesses testified at the
hearing Assistant Commissioner
Clark conducted cor the commits
sion on the petition of the Tri-City
Railway Company, operating cars
between the three cities, asking for
permission to inaugurate one-man
crews on its cars.
Oscar Barstens, a motorman in
Davenport, Iowa, declared the one
man cars were even safer than
those now in operation. "a motor
man VIII not start his car until he
sees that everyone is on, where a
conductor sometimes is apt to give
the start signal a little too SOON -
Barstens said.
Barste1s stated to Assistant
Commissioner Clark that a motor
man could handle fares just as
quickly as a conductor could.
Alderman to Testify.
Other witnesses included Alder
man Paulsen, also of Davenport.
Citizens of the tri-cities, led by
union street car employees, are fight
ing the establishment of the pro-
posed service. The street car men
contend many of their number will
be left without employment, if the
change is made.
Action of the commission in TAX
ing testimony is indication that de-
mand of Representative Harry NJ.
McCaskrin that his protest taking
precedent over the Tri-City Rail
way company petition has been
overruled. Mr.. McCaskrin, as re-
ported elsewhere in this edition Of
The Argus, went to Chicago last
night with witnesses to present evil
dence in support of his protest.
The commission, evidently, has
decided to include the McCaskrin
testimony in the company petition
hearing.

TESTS DISEASE
FREE CORN FOR
GREATER YIELD
Expect Seed Planted Last Spring
TO Excel Variety Com
monty Used.

The value of disease free corn
from production standpoint is to
be determined by a series of tests
to be made next week by County
Agent P. r. Edgerton on those
farms where the planting of the
seed was supervised by the farm
bureau last spring.
The first test was conducted yes
terday afternoon on the farm of
William Nussbaum, near Illinois
City Threatening weather and
bad roads reduced the attendance,
but did not lessen the interest of
those present.
The seed of diseased free corn
was planted in various sections of
the county and its growth has been
carefully watched all summer. It
has been noticed that such corn
is harder and better able to with
stand severe storms than the ordi-
nary variety. However, the pri-
mary purpose of the tests is to dis
tinguish the difference in produc-
ton.

BLECKHEADS GO QUICK
By THIS SIMPLE METHOD

B1ackheads - big ones or little
ones-soft ones or hard ones-ou
simple method that Just dissolves
them. To do this get about two
ounces of calonite powder from your
druggtst-sprinkle a little on a hot,
wet sponge-rub over the black
heads briskly for a few seconds
and wash off. You'll wonder whore
the blackheads have gone. The
calouite powder and the hot water
have just dissolved them. Pfnching
and squeezing blackheads only open
the pores of the skin and leave them
open and unsigh tly-and unless the
blackheads are big ana soft they
will not come out. while the simple
application of calonite powder and
water dissolves them right out, leav-
ing the skin soft and the pores in
their natural condition. You can got
Calonite powder at any drug store
and if you are troubled with these
unstghtly blemisheS you should GER
tainly try this simple method.
