an early adjustment Of railroad rates
and wages in the expec. c.ation that II
would contribute to the industrial re-
wal
THE Railway Labor Board, created
by the Cummins- -Esch act, comprises
pine members. In three groups of three
each. The public group are named by
the President, the labor group are named
from list nominated by the railway
labor organizations and the managing
group from list OF nominees named by.
the railway executives. The board is
authorized generally to deal with the
labor. wage and working conditions that
concern the employees of the railways.
and Is given in some directions rather
broad powers.
In asking the members CT the public
group to meet him the President was
moved by the desire to accomplish what
he hoped may be important results as
early as possible. Recognising that the
labor group and also the managing
group are in the nature of things parti-
sans of the respective elements which
they represent the President felt that 1t
was unnecessary to invite these two
6roups because their attitudes would
necessarily be partisan In any cohsidera-
ton Cf wage questions. The labor group
could be expected to advocate mainte-
rance OF the highest possible wages.
while the managing group could equally
be expected to insist that wages ought
to be reduced. 2. was, therefore, the
Presidents opinion that the most prompt
and effective results might be secured
by simply callins in the public group,
which is concerned equally with the in
terests Of labor, of management OF ship
pers and OF the general community.
Anomaly In Situation,
"The President has been impressed
that a somewhat anomalous situation
surrounds the relations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Railway
Labor Board. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has very large powers,
through its control of rates. to deter
mine what the revenues of the railroa DIS
should be; while the Railway Labor
Board, through its authority in the mat
ter OF wage determinations, has a very
large power in determining the largest
item of railway expenditures.
THE President was therefore I'M
pressed with the desirability of getting
these two highly potential bodies to-
gether and reaching something like q
definite understanding between them.
1t Is a fact not entirely without interest
that these two bodies have never official
ly met together.
For long time the President has
been giving much attention to the prob
lem of the railroads in its broadest re-
lations. He has been persistently as
sured on one side that business could
not make a general and lasting improve
ment until railroad rates should como
down and on the other side he has been
told that it was impossible for rates to
come down unless the wage charge
should be lowered. He, therefore. de-
temined to get together the two public
bodies which have to deal with wages
and rates and give them every possible
encouragement to take a strong lead in
the effort at an adjustment"

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
How Much Material That Has Hereto
fore Been Thrown Away Is
Now Utilized

In tfyh wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
of high grades of paper. The cores
of many kinds of veneer logs, now
used in large part for fuel, make ex-
ceIlent pulpwood. In addition, large
part of the clippings could be turned
into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods WHOSE
waste has paper-making possibilities
comments the Scientific American, are
red gum. yellow poplar, cottonwood,
birch, tupelo. Eastwood and beech.
Many veneer factories cutting these
species are already within shipping
distance of pulp mills. In certain 9th
er cases veneer factories are SO
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
of a centrally located mill. Other eco
nomic factors being favorable. such II
mill could profitably operate on
daily supply of veneer waste equiva-
lent to so cords of ordinary pulpwood. !

GERMANY LOST TOY MARKET
United States and Japan Now Supply
Canada With Pisythings She
Does Not Produces.

The United States is now first In
supplying those toys needed to supple
ment the output Of Canadian factories.
The additional quantity required by
Canada to supply its own domestic
trade amounted in the last year to Sl,-
100000 worth. Before the war Ger
many was the chief source Of supply,
but the United States now leads anu
japan has likewise made notable ad-
vince in its toy shipments to that
market. In 1918 American exports OF
toys to Canada amounted to $273,l3o
and In the year ended March 81. 1920
the total was $1,136,372. Japan's trade
grew from $1S,73S to $277,9 ,946 in the
same period. while there was only
small increase in toys sent from the
United Kingdom.
The toy and doll industry of Can
ada, according to Vice Consul Horace
NJ. Sanford at Ottawa, has made con-
siderable advance compared with pre-
war time, but imports were needed 10
meet the domestic demand. At the
present time some thirty-five Canadian
toy factories are listed. although the
census returns of 1918 reported only
fifteen. The kinds of toys made there
include animals, autos, balls, billiard
games, boats. building blocks, car
riages crokinole boards, croquet sets,
dishes, dolls furniture, games, garden
sets, lawn swings, pool tables, tricycles
and wheelbarrows, which are made OF
celluloid, Ell amel, iron, steel, tin, rub
Der and wood.
Last year Canada exported $139O52
worth Of dolls and toys. the United
States taking $5,635 worth and the

goats high above timber line. He had

How Romans Built Roads.

Two thousand years ago the Ro-
mans built roads, some of which are
still in active service. These roads
have lasted through the centuries sim
ply because Of their massive construc-
tion. The Romans built four success
i've courses or layers on an'earth sub
grade, carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda
tion, then the rodius. next the nucleus
and finally the pavimentum or wear
ing surface. The statumen and paw
mentum consisted of large fiat stones,
while the two intervening courses
were built of smaller stones laid in
lime mortar. To carry the chariot
and packhorse traffic of Roman times,
these roads were seemingly ridiculous
ly heavy. yet the wisdom of the build
ers was amply demonstrated by the
500 years during which the Roman
road system formed the backbone OF
the transportation system of the an.
eient empire.

How Miners Are proteoted

The United States bureau Of mines
operates ten mine. rescue railroad cars
which travel from mine to mine in the
different mining districts of the coun-

mine rescue work and assisting in
times of mine disasters and fires In
addition the bureau maintains eight
fixed mine rescue stations, seven of
which are equipped with auto rescue
trucks, available in the same manner
as the rescue cars.
This service to the mines and
miners has been a real and paying
one accounted only In the number OF
lives and IN the value of property
saved" said Director f. G. CoftreT,

MUSIC CAN BE USED TO
OVERCOME SHELL SHOCK.
The Society Of Vocal Therapy
was founded two years ago in
England to provide teachers for
the instruction Of soldiers and
ex-soldiers in breathing and sing
ing under medical supervision.
At the second annual meeting of
the society, Lieut.. Col. Sir Fred
erick Mott gave an address on
the Influence of music on body
and mind.
He said that early in the war
two cases of shell shock in which
there was complete loss of mem
ory came under his notice, which
showed that musical memory re-
turned earlier than. other forms
of memory-or, rather, the pow
er of recollecting past expert
ences. He found that soldiers
suffering with shock who had
been singers or players of the
piano were able to remember
and sing songs or play pieces
they had learned on the piano,
and yet could not remember eX-
periences connected with their
daily vocations or surroundings.
Again. men who were mute from
the same cause would at a con-
cert suddenly regain their speech
by Joining in the chorus of some
welI-known song. OF all the
arts, music appealed most to the
emotions, and probably words
associated with music were
more stably organized in the
mind, owing to the musical Ori-
gin of the language of the emo
tions.
He quoted the case of SOL
dier who suffered from aphasia
following a gunshot wound of
the left side of the brain. The
bullet passed through the speech
center and also blinded him. He
understood what was said to
him. but could express judgment
only by "Ah" and "Oot," which
corresponded to Yes" and mo. !"
He could, however, sing sever
al songs through without diff
Guilty, provided the first word OF
bar of the music was given to
him. When the song ""Tis o
Long Way to Tipperary" was
hummed to him.. he started the
well-known chorus, winding NJ
with: Are we downhearted
! No." But on being then asked
( to say "Tipperary," he replied
( "Oot." and could not utter an,
( of the words. A month later h
I could speak.

How Ages May Be Compared.

Study of the relation between the to-
tai length of life and the time re-
quired to reach maturity has brought
out an interesting comparison between
man and horses. A horse at five
years old is said to be, comparatively,
as old as a man at twenty, and doubt
less may be expected to behave, ac-
cording to equine standards, after the
manner of the average college student
following human standards. ten
year-old horse resembles, so far as
age and experience go, man of forty,
while a horse that has attained the
ripe age of thirty-five is comparable
with a man of ninety.-New York
