probably right. Most people doubtless

work too monotonously. They do the

So far the average man is right. He

admit it, or at least he feels what he

books he reads, the pictures and plays

RAIL HEADS TESTIFY
DECREASE IN RATES
NOT JUSTIFIED NOW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Railroad
earnings, past and present, fail TO
Justify general decreases of rates.
George M. Shriver, vice president OF
the Baltimore G Ohio; Benjamin
Campbell, vice-president of the New
York, New Haven e Hartford. and
Thomas c. Powell, vice-president OF
the Erie. testified late Thursday at
the interstate commerce commission
investigation into the reasonableness
OF the present level of all transporta-
ton rates.
Mr. Shriver, however, speaking for
all the roads as chairman of the ac-
counting committee of the Railway
Executives association, in concluding
his testimony. declared that decreases
might take place "in the not far dis
tant future" Under the commissions
rulings, cross-examination of the three
witnesses was deferred until January,
when states, municipalities and ship
pers will be heard. Mr.. Shriver based
his conclusions on statistical presenta-
tons, to the effect that in the IL
months ending Sept. 30, 1921, earnings
of class one roads amounted to $542,-
100000, which he declared to be but
2.75 percent on estimated property in
vestment as compared with the trans
portation act clause providing for
six percent return. In spite of lower
costs for wages and materials, he said,
roads in the eastern district, if given
during the next year the same traffic
they enjoyed during the last, would
earn but ga percent.
Advocated Higher Rates.
Mr.. Campbell, concurred to a degree
with Mr.. Shriver, but declared partic-
ularly that New England roads must
secure a complete new rate structure
in advance of any rate alterations to
secure larger divisions on joint rates.
He advocated higher rates on less
than carload shipments, upon first
class passenger fares and upon ex-
press shipments and added that losses
were encountered in transporting mail.
There is no justification for the
theory that railroad rates have adj
versely affected business" Mr.. Powell
testified, cor that business can be re-
lieved or increased by reductions.
Rates, although reasonable now, he
said, failed to give a fair return, and
should not be generally lowered at
present. State railroad commissions
have organized to present their case in
the investigation and have selected a
managing committee composed of
Fred w. Putnam, Minnesota; Fred M.
Woodruff, Iowa, and Clyde NJ. Reed
Kansas.
Want Rates Reduced
Railroad traffic executives have
been requested by Secretary Hoover
to reduce freight rates 81 a ton on coal
from eastern producing districts to
Atlantic ports, in order to allow Amer
lean producers to meet increasing
competition from English coal in
American ports. The request, it was
said was made at a joint session with

commerce commission, and represen
tatives of the commerce department
and resulted in the creation of com
mittee to investigate the conditions

OF emancipated morals is the leading
feature of the scene.
These colorful portrayals of an easy
idle life, full of excitement and desire,
devoid of work and clothes, draw
enormous crowds of typical Americans,
who work hard every day in the week
and often go to church on Sunday, who
lead lives of routine and restraint, in
the most law-ridden land on earth,
and who are easily scandalized by any
suggestion of immortality in the lives
of their neighbors.

plays, which describe life as a thing OF
freedom, adventure and lust? Nothing
at all. In each of those worthy citf.

longs for just those things, and the

him sort of vicarious satisfaction.

The Lure Of Some Place Else
BY FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

a parody of all other books that told
about the irresponsible delights of the
South Seas.
This comedy has been played over
again. The South Seas have leaped
into sudden popularity time after time,
and then have been forgotten again.
Robert Louis Stevenson gave them a
run some years ago, and before that,
Herman Melville set them to banker
ing after breadfruit and tropical
warmth and beautiful copper-colored
damsels.
Places That Aren't
Of course, what the writers describe,
and what the readers banker after and
often go in search of, is not the South
Sea Islands as they really are, but a
purely imaginary realm which will give
play to all the longings which they can
not satisfy at home. These periodic
orazes about strange faraway Arcad-
les are simply evidence of the fact that
most men are only half satisfied by
the reality and so live largely in their
dreams. This craving for some place
else is chiefly interesting as revealing
| the unsatisfied longings of men. The
South Sea Islands are by no means
the only popular never-never land
The Orient is another one which has
a spell of popularity every few years.
1t, too, is having one just now. A ser
les of spectacular plays, purporting
| to describe life in the Orient, have had
| a great success. Several books of the
| same character have been best-sellers,
and the movies as usual have followed
| suit.
1t is interesting to note that this
| imaginary Orient has almost exactly

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16. -
The South Sea Islands and the Orient
are just now enjoying a tremendous
popularity among persons who have
never been there.
The South Sea Island craze was
started by book which described in
the most luscious language that para
disc of eternal summer, of easy liv-
ing, of few clothes, and no restraints,
and of beautiful native maidens who
fell in love with white men on sight,
and knew little or nothing about
marriage.
The material for this book, it is
said, was supplied by man who had
spent some years in the islands, but
the luscious writing was done by a
clever woman who had never been to
the islands at all. The book was
quickly followed by other books by
the same author and by others. Boats
bound for the South Seas began to be
packed with tourists.
Then came the inevitable reaction.
The wanderers found that the South
Sea Islands were just about like Flor
ida, California, or any other winter re-
sort country They found that instead
of lying around and picking up bread
fruit whenever they got hungry, they
had to pay $12 day at the hotels.
Instead of capering naked on coral
strands. they had to dress for dinner
There weren't nearly enough beautiful
native maidens to go around. AS fol-
the climate, it was nice for a while
but no tropical climate agrees with a
white man for very long at stretch
In word the tourist found that
the hard realities of human life logged
him even to the South Sea Islands
and that the books had been mostly
fairy tales. So many were the disap
pointed tourists that a literature polk
ing fun at the South Sea Islands has
sprung into being. Many magazine
articles have been written to thai
tune, and now book is out which is

GroWs More Potatoes
In Seed From Hills

LAFAYETTE, Ind. Dec 16-Three
years ago Jacob HUH, Floyd county
farmer and potato grower, heard that
one way to increase the yield of his
spuds was to select the seed from hills
that yielded large number of medium
size, marketable potatoes. He arrang-
