SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

UnfsdinE Cheer.
Christmas tree has had its day!
Time to see 1t hauled away!
Strip it OF the lights and toys
That delighted girls and boys.
Though departed is the thrill,
We may think Of Christmas still.
With its message Of good cheer
That should linger through the year.
Happiness we deeply share
As for pleasure we prepare.
Each will toll as best he may
For another holiday.

the Austrian's passion for sitting in

Washington, d. c., Jan, PA decis

Under an unanimous consent agree

cut to FIVE minutes for each senator
The Senate met at 10 o'clock to-day,
two hours earlier than usual TO extend

The Gronna bill provides for federal
regulation of packers, stockyards, com
mission men and other agencies of the
meat industry by a commission of
three members appointed by the presi-
dent at $4,000 salaries
Advocates contended that the legisla-
ton was necessary because of the al

of the big FIVE" packers. Opponents
declared that it was an unwarranted,
unconstitutional and dangerous preced-
ent in government control and interior
ence with private business.

OYER $4,000 LIVES
HAVE BEEN SAVED
As Result of Organized Safety Work
Carried on During 10 Years
on the Railroads.

Chicago, Jan. a. More than $4,000
/ lives have been saved on the railroads
of the United States as a result of the
organized safety work carried on during
ID years, according to an analysis made
at the headquarters of the national
safety council here Of railway statistics
from 1906 to 1919 compiled by Slason
Thompson of the bureau of railway
news and statistics, the council an
nounced to-day.
The national safety council estimated
the number Of lives saved on the basis
of the ratio OF the number of persons
killed each year to the freight tonnage
carried during each year For example,
| in 1905 l0,6l8 persons were killed on
the railroads, and 1871 100000 tons
were carried In 1919 6,975 persons
were killed, while 100000 tons
were carried, On this basis of COMPARE
son there was an actual saving Of COPS
lives during 1919, as compared with
1906. This process was applied to the
figures for each of the intervening
as determined by the national safety
council was 3S,62l. In other words, If
tie number Of persons killed in railway
accidents during each of the last IL
years had been in the same ratio to
the tonnage carried as were facilities IN
1906, 3s,62l more persons would have
been killed in railway accidents than
were actually killed.
Some other striking revelations Of
the railroad accident statistics are
brought ont in the councils study,
namely:
That the number Of persons killed
in railway accidents during 1919, 6,975,
is the lowest on record in the 20 years
since 1899;
That l25,02l miles Of railroad lines,
nearly half the mileage Of the country,
were operated without a single pas
senger being Killed in a train accident
on these lines during 1919;
That mileage greater than the com
bined railroad mileage Of Great Brit
ain, Germany, France and Austria Hun
gary was operated during 1919 with.
out a single fatality TO a passenger in
the 447 ,l26.73s journeys recorded, the
average journey being "A miles;
That the number Of injured in rail
way accidents in 1919, IA ,Ols, was
the lowest on record since 1910;
That fewer passengers were killed in
1919 than in 1888, although between /
those years passenger mileage increased
more than 500 per cent. and freight ton /
mage increased more than 500 per cent i
In 1906 one passenger was killed for /
Every ls3207 ass passengers carried one
mile: in 1919 one was killed for every 1

Banks in central Kentucky loan large
sums of farmers TO finance their crops.
Just how large the total of these loans
this year ia no guess has been yentnred.
The question of how long the bankers
can carry the farmers, however was
one Of the foremost in the meeting of
farmers, growers and warehousemen
held here recently.
Ii is claimed that if tobacco does
not bring satisfactory price these
farmers will lose their lands and many
financial institutions will be hampered
Buyers Of tobacco are silent as to
why prices are not higher, Farmers
claim that in view Of the fact that
prices rose gradually over a period of
four years from 1918 to 1919, they
should drop gradually. They assert
that labor costs during the 1920 season
were the highest in the history Of
farming in Kentucky. Stories Of farm
