believed. however, that should the
bureau Of foreign commerce, as sug.
gested, be created. special pains
should be taken to establish the
working relations between it and the
United States Tariff Commission upon
an effective basis.

which can be assigned to special tasks

The principal reasons for the advo-
Gated consolidation are boiled down as
follows:
~ That the protection and promo

country now constitute, and always
must constitute, one Of the prime func-
tions Of the State Department: that. in

EITHER CAR OR BOAT.


An amphibious motorcar, which
runs equally well on land or water,
is the invention Of Albert E. Cook
Of Chicago. He calls it an "auto-
marine vehicle With wheels on
the outside of the hull for use on
land and with propeller to drive
it in the water, the machine is SO
contriyed that no change in the
driving mechanism is necessary
when it leaves the land and takes
to the water, or vice versa.
The rear section Of this combina-
ton of land vehicle and wafer craft
is a noteworthy feature. 1t turns
on a pivot to right or left, as direct
ed by the driver, for steering. When
the machine is running on the wa
ter this rear portion acts like the
tail Of fish, giving direction to the
course The speed is accelerated by
fins on the wheels.

IMPROVED TELEPHONE.

Railroad train dispatchers whose
only objection to the telephone or
der method is the use Of the head
band, or the alternative Of holding
an ordinary receiver in the hand,
are freed from even those require
ments by new form of loud-speak-
ing telephone, devised for that pur-
pose by Western inventor. An in
teresting feature of the new receiver
is that the transmitter is mounted
on an adjustable arm hanging FROM
the simplifying horn, so that the OPP
orator is entirely Independent of the
instrument, and can use both hands
for the records. With a special
transmitter the loud receiver may
also be used to distribute music
from photograph, says Popular

MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS BORN.

The belief that more boys than
girls are born after periods Of war
has been yindicated in the vital
statistics recently published by the
British registrar general.
More than 10000 more boys than
girls were born in 1919, the highest
proportions since the commence
ment Of registration in 1888. The
fact that more boys were being born
was first noticed in the birth sta
tistics Of 1916 and has steadily in
creased since.
Another curious fact of "sex
ratios" is that as prices increase, the
percentage Of boy births rises. This
fact has been strikingly demon
strated in the past so years.

MooRINGs FOR BIG AlRsHIPs
Authorities viii Make Test as 10 the
Value Of Steel Towers for
the Purpose.

Experiments are shortly to be
carried out at the airdrome at Pull
ham, Eng, with the object Of estab-
fishing the stability or otherwise of
steel towers as moorings for big air
ships.
An attempt is to be made to moor
the giant airship RIB, the sister
dirigible to the transatlantic flyer
R-34, to steel tower, $50 feet in
height.
II the experiments are successful
it will have marked effect on the
position of this class Of aircraft as
commerce carriers, for it viii mean
that the steel tower is likely to be
the usual form Of station headquar-
ters for the airship of the future.
The steel tower at Pullman, how
ever, is only an experimental one
and not the highly developed tubu-
lar construction which the towers of
the future are expected to be. A
shaft runs up the tower and through
this by means of pipes the R-33 can
be refueled and regassed.

indianapolis Man Is Still laundering
for Meal Like Mother Used

His mind kept reyerting to the
juicy steaks that his mother used to
buy, the kind that were about two
inches thick and rare in the middle
with a delicious brown crust on
either side. His efforts to interest
his wife only elected a dissertation
on the high cost Of meat and the
foolishness of spending so much
money on the mere qualification Of
the appetite Whereupon, he decided
to buy a steak himself. He hunted
the market over, loftily rejecting
this and that piece of meat, until
suddenly he espied just what he
wished. Without any discussion as
to its merits, he pointed it out to
the butcher and had him wrap it up.
And it wasn't so expensive, after all.
His wife had declared that such a
steak as he described might cost 81
or So. He threw the package down
triumphantly when he reached
home, with explicit directions as to
how it should be cooked to make it
tender and bring out just the right
favor. His wife opened the pack

her husband had never shown any
particular talent in marketing. She
gave one incredulous stare, then
laughed. He had bought a chuck

is QUESTION OF. PRECEDENCE
Executive in Favor of Leaving Per-
manent Tariff Legislation Until
Last at the Special Session
of Congress Next Month.

Washington, March IA serious
conflict of opinion between President
Harding and Republican leaders of
congress over whether tariff or tax
legislation shall have precedence at
the special session next month has
developed, 1t is said.
1t was reported here, that the Pres
fdent, in sympathy with the agricul-
tural industry, is strongly in favor Of
providing an emergency tariff while
the permanent tariff bill Is being en-
acted.
He has proposed, 1t was learned,
the revision of the old Payne-Aldrich
schedules to meet the requirements
Of the present situation as a tenn
porary measure. When that is dis
posed of, he would have the revenue
bill taken up next, leaving the per-
manent tariff act until last.
The majority Of the leaders of the
bill, especially the members Of the
senate finance committee and the
house ways and means committee, are
just as strongly opposed to this plan
as the President is for it. Their pro-
gram contemplates the complete aban-
donment of the emergency tariff pro-

considered by the city council commit
tee on local transportation. 1t pro-
vides that all motor vehicles, except
motorcycles, while operating on the
streets within the city, shall display
a signal, clearly visible at all hours of
the day and night for distance of 200
feet when viewed from the rear,
which shall indicate the drivers in
tention to turn to the left, turn to the
right, or to stop.
1t shall be permissible that this may
be accomplished, in the case of open
vehicles, by extending the drivers
left arm horizontally to indicate "a
left-hand turn" extending the right
arm horizontally to indicate "a right
hand turn or extending either arm
vertically overhead to indicate stop"
In the case of closed vehicles, or
open vehicles with the top up, these
signals shall be accomplished by
bination with the usual red tail light,
mounted at theorear of the vehicle and
operated mechanically or electrically
in positive manner, from the drivers
position, displaying pointers, letters,
words, lights or any other sufficiently
clear and Ineligible means

said, is empowered to take whatever
corrective measures are necessary.
Outside the reports. of mismanage-
ment. two principal reasons have
been advanced for the failure of the
roads to show favorable earnings un-
der the freight increases, Senator
Cummins said. These, he declared, are
the general falling off In traffic and
the excessive cost of operation. Three
hundred thousand freight cars, one
seventh of the total equipment of the
roads, are now idle, the Senator as
serted
To remedy the situation, it is plain,
Senator Cummins said, that a reduc-
tiOn in the cost of operation and
maintenance must be effected. OF this
reduction, he asserted, labor must
bear its proportionate part in the de-
crease of wages. He expresses the
opinion, however, that in the final re-
adjustment the skilled railway men
will receive as much as they do now
and that the scaling down would come
among the new and inexperienced
workers
No Raise in Rates.
Senator Cummns said that in his
estimation the present problem is the
result of the attempt to standardize
wages and reclassify the railway
workers during federal control In
this Standardization and reclassifica-
ton, he declared, there was no proper
differentiation made between skilled
and unskilled labor.
'The whole affair was badly ad-
justed," Senator Cummins said When
the readjustment that must come is
effected, l believe that the men who
do the real work and most of the
work will get as much as they do
now, and still there will be big saw
ing"
The senator asserted that it was
absurd TO think that it will be nee
essary to give the roads another in
crease in rates TO meet the situation.
"The rates are so high now they cam
possibly be raised again." he said

Management Made.
CONGRESS- TO GET AT FACTS
Senator cummins, Who Will Have
Charge of the Probe, Says There
Is Something Wrong-PubIic
Entitled to the Facts.

Washington, March 17.-RepOrts of
extravaganza, inefficiency and dishon-
esty in the management of the rail-
roads since their return TO private
ownership last March, will be thor
Oughly Sifted in the senate inveStiga-
tion of the railroad situation which
will be begun shortly after the new
congress convene next month.
This announcement was made by
Senator Cummins of Iowa who will
introduce the resolution to authorize
the inquiry. Senator Cummins is
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee of the senate which will
conduct the investigation and is CO
author of the ESch-Cummins trans
portation act under which the roads
were turned back to private control.
While the committee will look into
the railway labor situation and hear
the case of the brotherhood heads, 1t
will only be as a corOllary subject,
Senator Cummins said. The main
purpose of the investigation, he as
serted, will be to ascertain why in the
II months of private control the roads
have been able to earn only net
operating income of S1O,O00,OOO, which
represents about one-fifteenth per cent
of their property value, and $9OO,OOO,-
600 less than they were expected to
earn under the transportation act.
Public Entitled to Facts.
"We propose to learn" Senator Cum
Minis said, why it is that with the
increases in freight rates of 80 per-
cent the railroads have been able to
earn only a negligible amount. The
public is entitled to know how this
has come about and if there is any
truth. in the reports that this condi-
ton is due to mismanagement. dis
honesty and extravaganza"
The senator declared that, if any OF
these charges are borne out by the
investigation, the committee would al
once lay the facts before the inter
state commerce commission, which. he
