Muscle Shoals
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in to-day's issue
on the succulent bivalve known as the
mussel prompts me to call your atten-
tion to the fact that the name of the
famous shoals on the Tennessee River,
known for more than century as the
Mussel Shoals. is being mistakenly rem
dered by many American newspapers
and have horrible fear that it is
also being miscalled by the United
States government. In every reference
that l have seen during the last six
months to the government nitrate plant
its habitat has been given as M-u-s-c-l-e
Shoals. Geographical accuracy calls
for the correction of this curious and
also mischievous little error. >

The Woman Traveller

The announcement that the new
Grace Dodge Hotel for women in
Washington is to be equipped with
cribs, high chairs and apparatus for
heating the midnight bottle is only
another indication of how this man.
made world is gradually adapting
itself to the demands of the modern
woman.
1t is more than fifty years since
the minister's wife from Kansas.
elected delegate to the first suffrage
convention, wrote to Susan B. An
thony that she could not go without
the baby, and Aunt Susan" imme-
diately sent check for $25 to pay
the expenses Of baby and colored
nanny for the occasion.
However, it was not until the war
brought hundreds of women to the
capital on errands of life and death
that any one paid much attention to
the peculiar problems of the woman
traveller. Since then the continuing
influx of women politicians, women
tourists and women in need of as
sistance from the government has
convinced the Young Women's Chris
tlan Association that the greatest
need Of Washington was a hostelry
where women of moderate means
could find the special conveniences
which their slim purses demand. The
Grace Dodge Hotel is the result.
The great hotels of the nation
have within the last few years begun
to provide luxuries for women. Pea
cock alleys. electric curling irons and
cabinets of cold cream are now al
most as inevitable as cuspidors, and
any woman able to pay the price can
command marcel or massage or a
maid to button her gown. But the
great hotels waste little thought on
conveniences for the poor woman.
and it is chiefly the poor woman who
travels alone. A pressing room

and seems possible only we'll up

ness traffic down town, which is, of
course, the chief concern in case of
a strike or other blockade, depend
ence must be upon tunnel.
Work on ones happily, has now
been started, and the next few years
should see it completed and put to

the metropolis require that this shall
be done as expeditiously as possible

New York in Strike Time

In the event of railroad strike
motor cars of all kinds could br;no
III vast quantities of the perishable
supplies which must be new every
day. There is, however. some mock
cry in dwelling upon the potential
einclency of motor service in place of
railroads. From the north and east
such service could doubtless be effec-
tive, but from the west there would
be much difficulty. No matter how
many thousands of motor vehicles
were pressed into service. thew could
not reach this city excepting hv
ferry; and the ferries are few and
their capacity is limited. Even now
they are greatly congested. and If
there were thrown upon them any
considerable increase of vehicular
traffic they would be unable to meet
the demand; provided always that
they were not involved in the strike
and tied up.
The threat of strike emphasizes,
therefore, the need of capacious
vehicular roadway connecting this
city with New Jersey, and thus max
ing New York independent of rail
roads and ferries alike. Such
roadway must, doubtless, be through
a tunnel, if it reaches the downtown
region. A bridge has attractions,
but In many respects it Is archaic,

How Wayback Beats New York

In the City of New York, which
has about 100000 inhabitants.
the School Board is appointed by
and is subject to the control of the
political government. The appro-
priations for support of the schools
are dictated by the political officials
OF the city and are subject to manip-
uiation for partisan purposes. ANY
peddling little manikin of a Mavor
can starve the schools and wreck
the educational system of the city
to promote his own ambitions.
This is not the system established
in most of America. The prevail
ing practice is for the school to
be entirely separate from and indie
pendent Of the political government.

rates on grain, grain products and
hay carried by the Western roads,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion faced a painful dilemma. Two
unfortunate economic groups were
involved--the carriers and the West
ern farmers. The latter are suffer-
ing from a disproportionate shrink
age in the value of agricultural
products. The railroads are suffer-
ing from vast overlooking of their
operating account by the defunct
Federal Railroad Administration
The commission has duty under the
law to both these groups-to give
the agricultural producers just and
reasonable shipping rates and to
permit the carriers to make fair
and reasonable return on their prop
crty. The commission says:
Summarizing the situation before
US, petitioners speak for basic in
dustry which the evidence shows is
in state of financial prostration,
receiving for its products prices
which approach, and in some cases
have fallen below, pre-war levels,
but paying transportation costs,
many of which are still at the war
time peak. On the other hand, the
evidence shows with equal clarity
that respondents are likewise suffer
ing from financial depression and
that their net earnings have been
far below the standard which has
been fixed by the law, although the
tendency is now upward"
The commission did what was
natural enough under the circunl-
stances. 1t ordered relief for the
farmers and suggested that the car
riers seek their relief through a
further reduction of inflated rail-
road wages. But here is the tragic
weakness of the present two-sided
scheme of Federal control. The In
terstate Commerce Commission can
not reduce wages so as to offset the
losses caused by reduced rates. The
carriers must go with their petitions
to another body, the Railroad Labor
Board, which doesn't work in CO.
ordination with the commission and
is not bound by what the commits
sion does.
The board recently reduced rail
road wages and has been urging the
carriers ever since to transmute that
reduction into lower freight rates.
The commission now orders lower
rates, yet at the same time recog
nizes their injustice, so far as the
railroads are concerned, and recon-
mends compensation for them in the
shape of further wage reductions.
Since wages and rates are inter
dependent, both ought to be regu-
lated by the same agency. The
Esch-Cummins law has set up a di-
vlded responsibility and permits two
separate bodies to approach what is
really single problem from widely
divergent points of view.
1t may be, as the commission sug-
gests, that the roads will be helped
eventually by return to normal
traffic conditions so fo, oe
concerned. But it is equally impor-
tant and only plain justice to them
That there shall be return to nor

 The four months trip resulted in the crews bringing back to Los An geles complete road data on all southern and eastern main highways, it is stated, and touring information, obtained first-hand, is now available here on all routs through the south ern states and into Canada.
