Auto Battery "Spring
Fever Sure Sign That
Attention is Needed

Many car owners have found that
their batteries show almost human
signs OF "sort of tired feeling" as
summer advances. The starting mo-
tor seems to lack pep" The lights
show filaments that look like red-hot
hairpins. The horn comes through
with a low varied groan instead of
its usual warning blast.
If the owner who notices this fee
bleness is inclined to be charitable,
he says, "Of course! It's wonder
the battery isn't plumb dead after
such a winter" If he is irritable,
he's likely to forget its faithful serv-
ice and say, 1T never was any good
anyway" If he is thoughtful, he

Truant Officers
Cars Easy to Spot
Hockey" Gangs Fight Shy of
Certain Makes Since De-
partment Motorized.

Ask any kid in Seattle who has a
tendency to play hockey once in
while and he will tell you that he
always keeps sharp lookout for
Dodge Brothers touring cars and
roadsters. -.
Reason--this is the type of car
used by the eight attendance officers
OF the Seattle school board, who
scour the city constantly for synp-
toms of juvenile delinquency.
More than once one of these cars
has pulled alongside the curb or
glided up to the swimmin' hole to
the great dismay of the youngster
who had remained out of school to
attend his grandmother's funeral
Out popped the truant officer and
before Johnny could move he was
under cross oss-examination.
Now the Seattle school board has
made it little easier for Johnny by
giving him reasonable chance to
duck" The board has ordered that
cars used by attendance officers be
plainly lettered in conformity with
the style of lettering on all other cars
owned by the school district. When
this action was proposed 1t brought
forth a sharp and insistent protest by
one of the school officials. The OBJ
lection was reported by Seattle
paper as follows:
"Mr. Fleming said in his COM
munication of protest that as Dodge
Brothers cars are used exclusively by
the department, any Dodge Brothers
car is instantly the object of sus-
picion on the part of the juvenile
population of community. To make
them more conspicuous by lettering
would be merely adding to the
troubles of an overburdened and un-
appreciative public servant. But the
protest was overruled."
The Seattle police department also
uses 10 Dodge Brothers touring cars.
The various departments of the city
and county together operate 81.

Railroads of
Entire World
Facing Crisis
Europe Reported in Condition
as Bad as United States
Economic Condition of
World Blamed.
By DAVID M. CHURCH.

Washington, April 23.-The world S
railroads are facing a crisis.
Reports and statistics gathered by
the Association OF Railway Execu-
tives here show that not only are the
railroads of the United States facing
serious difficulties, but that the rail-
roads OF Europe are facing even
more critical conditions.
Postwar business depression and
readjustment has brought the rail-
roads OF the world face to face with
a struggle, according to the reports
, received here. .....,
The situation that confronts tie
American railroads is we'll known.
The financial position of the rail-
ways in the United States may be
bad, but they are apparently as badly
off, if not worse, in England" says a
statement of the situation prepared
by the Association OF Railway EXecu-
tives.
The railways in France are suf-
fering from the same malady,' says
the statement.
Deplorable Condition.
The railroads of Russia and Ger
many are known to be in deplor-
able condition. and the same holds
true of the railroad systems in many
of the smaller countries.
The railroad systems of England
on December 81, 1920, showed a DEL
icit of Sl69, ,s4o,557 to be met from
the public treasury, according to the
reports received here.
The latest statistics available show
that the French railroads suffered a
deficit Of $260,878, 100 in 1919, as COM
pared with deficit OF $l5,l6S,9OO in
1918. -M.
The total deficit of the railways op-
Grated by the Canadian government
in 1920 is reported as $70,35l,734.
u. S. Deficit Nearly Million.
During January the American rail-
roads suffered a deficit of $95S,399,
and in February there was deficit
of $7,205,O00.
As evidence that the present de-
preston which is affecting the rail-
roads is similar to that which has
come during every period OF business
depression, the Association of Rail
way Executives declares that at pres
cnt ''the percentage of idle cars is
slightly less than it was during the
business slump that followed the
signing OF the armistice, or the tinan-
cial depression Of 1905"
In defense of increased rates the
association presents a statistical
study by Julius II. Parnlalee, which
concludes that prices have been de-
clining ever since the increased rates
went into effect, So that the effect of
the higher rates has not been in the
direction of boosting prices"
Economics Blamed
Further supporting its contention
that world economic conditions are
responsible for present business con-
.ditions, the associations statement
quotes E. E. Clark, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce commission, as
follows: "The whole country and all
of our people, excepting those who
are and have been shamelessly
prohteering, are suffering the alter
effects Of titanic war. In
some quarters jealous efforts are
made to have it appear that this sit
uation is in large part or in the main
due to high freight rates.
Careful inquiry discloses that the
utilization Of products is prevented,
not by the freight rates, but by eco
nomic conditions.

CHEERFUL AMERICA.

Cheerfulness has long been recognized
as a characteristic American trait If
any one ever asked why this was so, the
answer probably would be that there is
more in this country to promote cheerful
ness. With what we have regarded as
happier circumstances to live under than
exist in the Old World, with the strug-
gle of life easier, with less class discrim-
nation and oppression, with widespread
comfort and the expectation of wealth
universal, with vast natural resources
and a pleasing land, why shouldn't the
American be cheerful?
An English essayist has advanced a
different theory. He maintains that
Americans force themselves to be cheer
of mind to support the miseries of the
world. He writes.
Because the Americans are a nervous
people, easily cast down, they will to be
always bright and cheerful and practice
smiling Outwardly so that they may
smile inwardly. They have a method of
living always up to their own story with
wonderful American innocence"
1t is not known whether this is in
tended as compliment or dispraise; but
who cares? If gloom and pessimism
make it easier to support the miseries of
the world, the fact is yet to be demon
strated. With all its good fortune, Amer
lea has borne a pretty fair share of this
worlds burdens. It's cheerfulness is not
of the type which refuses to recognize
that anything can be. wrong enough to
need righting. Nor is it due to moral
cOwardice.

OPEN SHOP AT PANAMA.

Secretary Weeks has adopted the open
shop as the principle for the Panama
canal zone. His decision will be at
tackled in many quarters. 1t is interest
ing as an indication of the temper of the
administration where labor is concerned.
The effort will be made to keep the
thing actually open without prejudice in
favor of either element. Secretary Weeks
explains, Employees. whether union or
non-union. shall be dealt with openly,
through committees or representatives
composed of employees, whether represent
atives of labor organizations or not"
If it can be proved at Panama that
organized and unorganized labor can
work in peace, side by side, be given equal
opportunity and deserve it equally and
accept it as just, the solving of labor
problems everywhere should be made cas-
Ter.
In a country founded on the principle
of equal rights men should neither be
forced to join unions nor be prevented
from forming them. The thing is to make
the theory work. Can the government
do it?

The College Spirit.
(Rutland Herald. J

One of the mysteries of football es-
pecially of the intercollegiate brand, is
the number of apparently unattached
people who find time-and money-to
drop all business and attend strictly to
college spirit for one afternoon at least.
And when we follow up the hikes, riding
of freight trains, the tops of passenger
cars and even the dirty trucks-all to
see a highly specialized and technical
sport, in which the spectators cannot
hope to follow more than one-fifth of the
plays, then we get some insight into that
mysterious, often misunderstood and
sometimes over-emphasized quality that
we call college spirit
