OPEN WAY TO CUT RATES
 FOR FREIGHT
By W. H. ATKINS, International News Service Staff Cor

 Washington, July 30-ProducerS of farm products, by forcing a vol untary agreement of the railroads to I reduce export graip rates, have sue sscessfuI1y opened the way for sub ! stantial reductions in freight rates on staple commodities The shippers | are confident that sweeping cuts in domestic rates on important farm | products will be soon authorized Ac- tion of the rail executives in sane tioning application for a 25 per | cent cut on rates on export grain f from Great Lakes ports to the sea- r. board over eastern railroads, is ex- Fpected to be followed soon by similar measures to readjust the rates on | grain from central territory to sea agreed upon of five cents a hundred pounds on wheat, corn and rye, from Buffalo, Erie and F'airport, to New York and other seaboard destinations, l is expected to result in a similar re- tsduction <from points in central rail territory.
 Shippers are preparing to ask the ksTnterstate Commerce Commission to- (which went into effect last August in Ewestern territory on all domestic shipments of important grain pro ducts. and also to eliminate the So per cent. raise which was given the Pacific group of railroads on prac- ticaIly all commodities.
 Western shippers contend there IS no longer need to stifle business with rates that are prohibitive in that the cost realized on many important commodities will pay the freight
 rates.
 Practically all of the large ship pers' organizations of the West were said at the Interstate Commerce Commission today to be ready to ap. S pear before the Commission on Aug 15 and urge that the horizontal in creaSes, which were granted under the railroads war demand for more money, be rescinded, and that the { rates be restored to the pre-war ba- l sis
 At the Commission today, it was ; said that there will be prompt action
 in approving the application of the
 carriers for reductions in export
 grain rates, and it is expected they will go into effect within about ten
 days, the statutory notice which II
 is customary for railroads to give in
 filing new tariffs.

Flower Worth Small Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for a single plant; yet 1t
was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in America, the
Catteleya gigas alba.
This Catteleya was Powered In 1910,
and exhibited at an orchid show In the
United States, where it was awarded
a gold medal The plant was found In
1909 in lot of other specimens Of
Catteleya gigas. 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for dol
lar or. two. The only reason was that
after most of its companions had been
disposed of this ole, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally all the specl-
mems were potted.
To the great surprise of the horti-
culturists when, next spring, the plant
came up it was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold in London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

FIND RELIC OF OLD LONDON
Arch of Bridge Which Must Have Been
Built Centuries Ago Just
Brought to Life.

A very interesting relic of old Lon
don has come to light. according to
the London Times, an arch of old Lon
don bridge. which was demolished dur
ing the construction of the new Lon
don bridge, which began in 1925. The
arch now discovered is the second from
the north side of the old bridge. and
is close TO st. Magnus church. 1t was
disclosed during some building OPERA
lions now in progress.
The first stone bridge over the
Thames was built in 1176, bat the
bridge was constantly repaired and
restored, so that there is NO evidence
of the exact date Of this particular
arch. 1t was apparentlyemedieval, and
is built of Reigate stone with very
HAT trajectory. AT the beginning of the
Eighteenth century, however, three fiat
wrought-stone supporting ribs were
put in, and the middle one of these is
dated 1903. The arch Is not yet en-
tirely uncovered, but springer at each
side is just being disclosed, and the
span is estimated to be about 80 foot.
The under surface of the arch is con-
siderably waterworn between the add
ed ribs. 1t Is one of the arches close
to which the mill wheel stood for the
raising of water into the watertower
that stood alongside the bridge. This
arch stood in the river and is, there
fore, an evidence of the limits which,
as time has gone on, have been i'm
posed on the Thames, the river being
now much narrower than 1t was in
medieval times. 1t is understood that
this relic of old London is to be care
fully preserved

Au.traIia,s eeoaraphlc Position.

Australians exact position on world
maps, originally determined by Cap
tein Cook, the early explorer, was
brought into question recently when
wireless authorities, after direct check
ing by radio with standard time
clocks at Lyons, France, said they be-
lieved there is an error Of perhaps
100 yards on all maps in Australians
north-south lines.
Seafarers who first sketched Aus
tralia's position based their calcula-
tions on the chronometer, the finely
made watch which keeps Greenwich
time. Corrections were made from
time to time. until final checking by
cable was believed to be accurate.
Lately, however. Sydney wireless
men who have been listening to the
clock ticks at Lyons, say they have
discovered there is a perceptible loss
of time In transmitting the correct
seconds over the cable. The loss, u
is said, led to errors In map-making.

THIS SYEAR AND LAST

The increased assessed valuation of
much of the property in the city this
year will mean an increased tax to
the majority of people despite that
the rate is slightly lower than last
year-still quite high enough. The fol
lowing table, including but few prop
critics selec ted at random, will show
about how this average increase is go
ing to run. Smaller pieces of prop
erty than those listed will show a
similar increase in many parts of the
city.
The tax for 1921 in the table is COM
puted from the four cents on a dol
lar announced as the proabble rate
at the last meeting of the council.

DOES AWAY WITH ALL PAIN
Remarkable Anesthetic May Soon Be
Employed in Delicate Dental
Surgical Operations.

A cOal-tar chemical for the elimina-
ton of all pain in dental surgical OPP
erations, simple of application and
suitable for repeated and universal
use in oral surgery, according to the
Scientific American, is announced by
DR.. Joseph A. Klein of New York
city.
This new chemical is liquid in form,
is applied on pellet of cotton to the
gum or mucous membrane surrounding
the tooth to be anesthetized or into
cavity prior to excavation where a
tooth Is to be filled or treated. 1t
produces complete local anesthesia in
from two 80 eight minutes and elm
mates ali feeling for from one to six
hours.
Doctor Klein has extracted teeth
and pulps painlessly by the use of this
chemical. Its effect is entirely local,
so it may be applied with perfect safe
ty, regardless of the patients age or
general physical condition, and it Is
particularly valuable as an anesthetic
I'm the extraction Of children's teeth.
1t leaves no disagreeable after-effect,
but because of Its long period of ac-
tivity gives the nervous system ample
time to recover from the shock of OPP
Grafton before the nerves In the area
of the operation regain their normal
feeling or activity.

British Museum overerowded.

The British museum, says London
writer in the New York Post, has
reached the end Of It's rope, so far as
space is concerned. BY the law of
1880 every English author. whether
domicIled at home er In the dominions,
Is obliged to place two copies of his
books with the museum, which in turn
guarantees to keep them in good con-
dition and make them accessible to the
reading public. The same applies to
newspapers. Space for the latter was
exhausted some time ago and a spe-
cial barracks was built to store them.
II is now feared that the same plan
viii have to be adopted for the books.
