We are still waiting for that column of railroad news. It was promised several weeks ago. It has not ar rived. Possibly it has been mailed and we have never received it. May be we will get last years news some time next month. Fellow out the railroad who subscribes for the Gate- way says that his paper failed to ar rive on six consecutive trains. Fin ally after he had given up all hope of ever receiving the copies, five or six packages were dumped off on the same day. The mail clerk says he is not to blame, the postmaster says he is not to blame, we say that we are not to blame. We don't know the answer. We will give a six months subscription free to the man or wo. man who can tell us just how our subscribers on the railroal can get their papers when they should get them.-Seward Gateway.

"I used to have headaches nearly

tonishing revelation made by Mrs.

operas in which the noted tenor's
name figures since he first sang in
New York revealed an amazing ver-
satility. In Is years he sang no
less than $40 times, in one season,
1907-0S, making 81 appearances, a
great test of endurance for any
voice. He was unsparing, if not
reckless, of his vocal powers No
the days of Brignoli, Campanini,
Raveli, Tamagno and Jean de
R,szeke, it is recorded, ever reign
ed so long in popular favor.
Caruso, after his strenuous Op-
era seasons, sometimes had trouble
with his throat. which he usually
overcame with a little rest and care
and at certain intervals rumoTs
that "Caruso will never sing again
were frequently printed. In the
winter of 1920. however, he suffer
ed a severe affliction when a small
blood vessel in his throat burst
while he was singing in "E'lisie
d'Amore" in the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. Recovered from this
mishap, Caruso was stricken with
pleurisy.
Married in 1918.
During his indisposition, Caruso
was the object of devo,ed attention
by his wife, formerly Miss Dorothy
BENJAMIN of New York, whom he
married in 1918. One child was
born to them. CarusO had a son
by a former wife. a singer named
Ada Ciachetti, with whom he had
been . isociated in opera at Treviso
and Bologna.

failed to relieve distress In any part
OF the world. The American Red
Cross has a remarkable record Tor
help extended IN the flooded areas
of China and the earthquake re-
gions of Italy. The disaster in Rus
sia is said 10 be even worse. Mil
lions of persons are suffering from
lack of food and are really on the
verge of starvation. The number
actually dying daily from starva-
ton is not known but every Off
cial bit of information indicates
that the most horrible conditions
exist inside Russia.
The censorship on the one hand
and the refusal of the soviets to
permit foreign correspondents 10
enter Russian territory has pre-
vented the outside world from
knowing what has really been GO
ing on in Russia under soviet RUE.
Our government has known for
months that Russia was going from
bad to worse and has felt that the
Russian authorities were to blame.
There seemed no other way to bring
the soviet 10 terms than by letting
them absolutely alone until they
recognized FULLY the extent of their
folly. The Russian soviets appar-
emily are beginning to see it now
and are turning to the outside
world for aid. There is no evidence
that the American government will
give vent to any vengeful spirit re-
cause of the long period within
which American prisoners were
held. On the contrary, the govern
ment here hopes to be able to do
much to relieve the distress of the
Russian people who have been pow
erless to control the soviet clique
responsible for the present disas-
ter. Out of it all, however, is
eventually coming better relations
with Russia for the influence oil

The Buick Valye-in- Head
Engine-A Power Plant
That Has Proved Itself

The engine, Of course, is of the time
tested Buick Valve-in- Head type.
The year-after-year concentration of
Bucks engineering skill and exper-
ience in building Valve-in- Head
motors assures the highest standard
of performance obtainable today.
Every other unit is of quality equal
to the power plant. The whole as
sembly constitutes a perfectly bal
anced chassis which is of typical
Buick construction. The equipment
of Cord Tires is merely evidence OF
the quality which characterizes the
entire car.
Two open and two closed body types
mounted on the Buick 6uilt chassis
comprise the new series.
Even the most casual inspection Of
the details of design and workman
ship will reveal that full measure Of
quality which motorists have learned
to associate with Buick.

SAN FRANcIsC, Nov. H.
Roscoe C. Arbuckle. favorite mo-

trial today on charge Of man
slaughter growing out OF the death
of Miss Virginia Rappe motion pic
ture actress September 0. Scores
of witnesses on both sides awaited
the call to the stand. The crowds
began to surge early through the
narrow corridors on the third floor
OF the hall Of justice where the
trial court is located. Despite the
fact that the admissions were limit
ed to about 800 which included
moro than a score of newspaper
men, hundreds picked points OF
vantage to glimpse the principals
in the big legal drama as they
went into the court room. For
moro than a week the contending,
sides have had their desks stripped
for action and the cagerness which
they collected all possible evidence
indicates a hard and bitter con-
test.
