Whatever the base thoughts that
may or may not have been lurk-
ing in Porphyro's brain, nothing
but the noblest and purest sensa-
tions remain after one look at
Madelyn asleep with one arm
about her Teddy bear, the one
that Uncle Lucian gave her last
birthday. Madelyn is dreaming
that she and Porphyro are being
chased by cow with a blue rib
bon around it's neck. Unfortn-
nately this is before Mr.. Freud's
time.

FORD NOT PERMITTED
TO CUT FREIGHT RATES
I. &. e. Considers Interests OF
Competitors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22--Henry Ford's
attempt to reduce freight rates on coal
20 per cent. along the line OF his rail-
road. the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton,
was disallowed to-day by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The commission based its action on
the ground that the reduction would
constitute a discrimination against other
mining territory the coal product OF
which Is sold In Toledo. Detroit and
other cities along the Ford railroad.
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton is
financially able to make the reduction.
the commission said. but "a proper rate
relationship between competitive groups.
particularly on such a commodity as
coal. is in many respects of greater inn
portance to the shipping public than the
measure of the rate itself.
We would not be warranted In permit
ting the establishment of rates which
would disrupt the rate relationship fixed
by US and which has existed for many
years.
IL the proposed reduction were al
lowed to stand. the commission said.
competing lines In southern Ohio, not
located on the Detroit. Toledo and Iron
ton, would be unable to continue oper-
alton. and mines in Pennsylvania. West
Virginia. Kentucky and Tennessee
would also be affected by undue prefer
ence involved in the lower Ford rates.

BIG ROADS SHOW HEAVY
DROP IN NET EARNINGS
Likely Less Than Needed for
6 Per Cent. Return.

Concrete evidence that the gross and
net earnings Of the class railroads for
November will show more than the usual
decreases appeared yesterday in the No
vember statement OF the Southern Pacl-
f1c Company. Some authorities believe
the net railway operating income of the
roads for November will be about $780,
100000 compared with more than S105.-
100000 for October. This would be
$4,000, 900 short of what the roads
should earn in November to show 6
per cent. return.
The Southern Pacific Company report
ed net operating income of $2.640.6s3
for November, in contrast to S7.441.933
for October, and S2,S57.S7S for Novem-
her. 1920. This was the lowest Novem-
Der net earned by this company in the
last five years.
Lower net earnings will show UP
more clearly in the November state
ments of carriers whose operating ratio
Is higher than that of the Southern Pa
cfic. The shrinkage In tonnage from
October, normally the peak month of
the year. was rendered more precipi-
tate because much extra traffic was
jammed through in October on account
of the strike threat.
The Southern Pacific Company report
ed gross operating revenues of $24s.272.-
295 for the eleven months ended Novem-
ber 80. decrease of S7.991,964 from the
corresponding period of 1920.

SUGAR REFINERS WIN
ALL IN CONTRACT SUIT
Babst Says Philadelphia De-
cision Wus Not Half Way.

Earl d. Babst. president Of the Amer
lean sugar Refining Company, of which
the Franklin Sugar Refining Company Is
a subsidiary, said yesterday:
'Tt has been incorrectly reported that
under the decision yesterday in the suit
of the Franklin Sugar Refining Company
against Samuel Howell in Philadelphia
the court fixed a halfway price with
respect to the sugar in dispute. On the
contrary. the Refining company, under
the unanimous decision of the three
judges sitting in this suit, recovered tic
full amount claimed--that is. the differ
ence between the contract price of 2215
cents a pound for the $50 barrels of
sugar which Mr.. Howell refused to
accept under a 1920 contract minus the
market price of cents a pound pre-
vailing at the time this suit was COM
menced.
"The net result is that the defendant
must pay 141a cents a pound for having
preached this contract and the Refining
company is to retain the sugar"
