CONSOLIDATION OF
 N. Y. CITY ROUTES
One Municipally Owned System, in Place of Individual Lines, seems Certain Now.

Place of Individual Lines. Seems
 Certain Now.
 New York. Sept. so.-EarIy consol- idation of all New York city transit lines into one munic1pally owned sys- tenn appeared certain today following issuance last night by the state tran sit commission of it's initial report on plans for a readjustment of transit management
 The commission, it was pointed out, is vested with authority by the state legislature to put its decisions into ef- feet despite opposition from the com panies involved or the city admins tration.
 Only a repeal of the law or its up- set in the courts, it was declared can black their plans. Little opposition is expected from the companies involv- ed, as a somewhat similar plan was approved by them several years ago. It was blocked by the city admins tration.
 The commission announced it would begin shortly a series of public in- quirics at which officials of the com panies involved would be examined and any persons opposing the plan be given a hearing. Following these hear figs. the commission will announce its final plan.
 A five cent fare is assured for at least one year under the tentative plan. Thereafter the rate woulc be regulated automatically by the cost of operation.
 The lires would be run by three operating corporations all under a central board of control. One of the corporations would operate the sub- way and elevated lines in Manhattan and the Bronx: one the surface lines in Manhattan and the Bronx and one the subway. elevated and surface lines in Brooklyn.
 The city would acquire ownership of the lines without expenditure by an amortization program.

FUTURE OF WORLD
 IS DARK IN EAST
Hungarian Historian and Philosopher Makes Announcement to That
 Enect--Amcrica to Boom.

Budapest, Sept. 3o.--The future of the world is decidedly dark for the Easter Hemisphere. says Professor Henry Marczali, the famous Hungar- ian historian and philosopher. He told the correspondent that the ball. ance Of financial. economic anl labor superiority had shifted to America for years to come.
 "A few years and Russia will be as powerful as it was before the war. Le asserted. The fate of Russia will recide the fate of Europe and perhaps that nf the whole world as well. The Gerr1nns. hated by the French and inistrlzSaed by the other big powers. will find their natural ally in Russia. And if the difference between Amer ica and Japan becomes aggravated. a Formidable alliance of Japan, Russia and Germany will soon make the world realize that lasting peace never was farther off the horizon of hu- manity than in our days.
 The greatest power in the world today is stiil Great Britain. But in he history of the world old nations fall and new nations rise to power. Eng land is ow attempting to solve the problem which the Roman Empire could not solve--the holding together of half of the world under one flag.
 "If the solution is efficient and In- dia Is pacined. Ireland reconciled. Engiand's hegemony Is secure for the next century; if not. the hegemony passes to the younger branch of the the United States"

THE NEWBERRY CITY SCHOOLS
BEGINS MONDAY MORNING,
SEPT. 12,' 1872

SEPT. IL, 1871.
The session 1921-1922 Of the New
berry city schools will begin on Mon
dav morning, September 18th at 3
o'clock. It is important that every
student be on hand the first day.
Parents are reminded of the state
law which requires that child must
have been successfully vacclnated
before attending school. Please at
tend to this matter at once so that
there will be no loss of time from
school. If it has been over five years
since a child was vaccinated, the state
board Of health says that he should be
vaccinated again. We are asked to
take. every preoaution this year so as
to ward off the predicted small poX
epidemic. -,
Conditioned students, and students
from without the district who are en-
'tering the schools for the first time,
are requested to confer with the su-
perintendent at his Office in the high
school on Wednesday morning, Sep
tember Sth, from to IL o'clock. .
Owing to the large enrolment 1t
will be necessary to transfer some
children from one school to another.
These transfers. are made where the
least inconvenience is caused. In
previous sessions where transfers had
to be made, the parents of the chill
dren transferred have shown fine
spirit of cooperation with the super
intendent and this has made it easier
for the children concerned. Occa-
sionally we hear of parent who
wants to suggest to the superintend-
ent what child should be transferred
instead of hisi child, but that type of
parent is scarcely found in the New
berry city schools.

the distribution Of milk. with econ
omic and sanitary handling, has been
closely accompanied by the larger use
of this food, they say.
Much of the milk now used in cities
comes many miles, and recently I'M
proved methods have made it possible
to ship it for long distances IN re-
frigerator cars. At the national dali
ry show in Chicago IN 1919, milk
shipped from the Pacific coast took
first prize in the market-mllk compe-
tition, with the highest score ever
given to milk in recent years.
Cities have always used smaller
amount of milk in proportion to the
number of people than general farm
ing communities. There, however,
many agricultural and non-agricul-
tural rural districts where cows are
not kept and where modern methods
OF milk distribution are not equal to
most cities. The people in such plac-
es have to depend on canned milk of
various kinds and this, the dairymen
say, is an exceedingly valuable means
of supplying a need which 20 or 80
wears ago could not have been sup
piled at al.

Use OF MILK DOUBLED
IN PAST THIRTY YEARS

Fortv-four gallons of milk is used
bv each persin IN the United States
annually, according to estimates made
bv the dairy division Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This estimate refers to whole milk
and does not include that which IS
consumed in the form of ice cream,
cheese and butter. The amount IS
about twice as much as that used in
1890, when the per capita consump-
ton was approximately 22 gallons.
The dairy specialists point out that
the increase-in the use Of milk in the
last 80 years as great as that in the
preceding 2S0 years.
T, The present day consumption OF
milk in the United States, they say,
is equal to about one pint per day, or
as much as two small glasses. That
is not a great amount when it IS
known that it includes not only the
milk that is used for drinking, but
also that used in cooking. This is a
small amount compared to the per
capita consumption in some European
countries. In Sweden and Switzer-
laEd, for example, nearly D gallons
are used by each person annually.
In relating the growth of the dairy
industry in this country the depart
ment specialists say that in pioneer
days each family kept its own COW.
The denser the population became
the more important it was to have
we'll regulated and ample supply of
milk. Gradually the number Of cows
increased, and in time dairy busi-
ness grew up in various sections. The
development of modern methods in
