Recognizing tho shIppers

The principle that transportation costs are not only factor to be considered determining what rates the railroads should charge has been recog- nized for the time in decision the interstate commission under which live stock rates were reduced September 20, to be in effect until December s1. The action of the mission been hailed as a decided innovation in regulatory methods. in fact 1t is.
 The decision Is noteworthy for two reasons. The reduction was recommended. not ordered. by the commission the first time such thing has been done a case of any importance. Similarly, the decision was the handed down in which it was held that while the rates might be reasonable from transportation standpoint, reduction should be made on economic grounds. In other words. the supreme transportation regulation body in the country definitely admitted that others than the rail- roads should be considered in rate making: that though the rates might be fair so far as roads concerned the shippers should be given reduction.
 Only livestock rates in excess of 50 cents hun dred pounds affected by the 20 cent cut the carriers have put into effect in accordance with the recommendation of interstate commerce mission That provision naturally has been freely criticized in the country where the rates to market do not exceed that figure and many be- leve as did the dissenting commissioners. that the short haul rates should have been included. The duction will apply on cattle. hogs and sheep. but not on horses and mules

SLEEPING OUTDOORS
sY OR. FRANK CRANE lcopyright 1921. by Frank Crane)

Sleep is good but no one knows how utterly good : it can be who has not slept outdoors
 There is something about room, any room, even in palace, and there is something about house, that spells and smothers sleep and it is only when you can set your face against the sky and your lungs against the exhaustless air. that soul really dips into the infinite and back to life in the morning with it's last corner fresh and garnished.
 Leonard Fleming, South African farmer, tells of his Best Bedroom at home, and why he prefers it to all the luxurious couchings of civilization.
 My Best Bedroom, " he says, lis up my highest hill can climb to the top-carrying blanket, pill low, and great coat in fifteen minutes.
 "On grass and little bushes, which I pull and spread out, put my coat, my pillow against rough boulder, and lie down with the warm scent of earth and weld grass about me. And over and on every sde hanging like rich curtains far away the blue black sky, spashed with gorgeous stars.
 sThe silence is wonderful-compete, absolute stiffness for the regular beating of my heart and the intake and release of my breath.
 T am on the top of all the world, lying my back, with only stars and sky pouring through my eyes deep into my body and soul And I go to sleep very, very happy feeling that all the exquisite beauty of the cool ing night around has made just little part of it a-a little human atom for while in complete hars mony with the infinite Scheme of Things
 And then comes the most wonderful moment oi
 "It is the moment of the dawn wind which passes the earth as regularly clockwor every day half an hour before dawn
 It is soft faint little wind that rustles the leaves and grasses and nipples still water-the first sound in all those silent hours-a fresh, cool very gentle wind that lasts but few seconds
 \ Tt is the wind that wakes the world-the wind that whispers of the coming dayand it passes beyond as swiftly and as suddenly as it came. I "Out of the silence distant sheep beats, a bird sings, then two birds, then hundreds. The East is bright gold the western hills flushed and then the day and the days work"
 I Of all the strange and curious superstitions that have attacked mems minds perhaps the most remark able is the notion that night air is injurious.
 All Europe people shut themselves up in tight Tn eral, but we not wholly guiltless. . It is matter of habit. One used to sleeping in close catches cold if he sleeps out in the woods t and trapper accustomed to sleeping in the open catches cold if he has to lie all night (he could not : sleep) soft bed in with only window t open only two inches.
 Try it outdoors and stick to it long enough to get the habit and you will discover many of Natures de- lghtful secrets, Leonard Fleming found about the motherng adaptive silence of the infinite, and about that shy and delicate dawn wind that wakes the worl

Messaas from Mar

The startling possibility in your lifetime is that you may pick up newspaper of these days and this headline: scientists Decipher Wire less from Mars"
 That is very apt to happen. says Marconi. who again insists that he Is intercepting wireless that seem to originate somewhere out in space, on the earth.
 Tesla and Edison, two other great scientists also believe that Mars may be inhabited that com munication between it and the earth is only mat ter Of tme
 steinmetz, the electrical wizard, says 1t would cost $1.00o.o0o.00o to build wireless apparatus of sufficient power to send return message to Mars
 The closest Mars ever gets to the earth is about 50.o00o00 miles At times 1t is 250O0O000 miles away
 Scientists who believe that Mars is inhabited make these two arguments
 One: Mars has water. heat atmosphere and changeable seasons. like the earth. in which life could exist
 Two: Great astronomers like Lowell and Picker ing presented rather convincing evidence that Mars is inhabited.
 This was their evidence: Mars has large Polar snowcaps These appear to melt, with the coming of summer, the water being conveyed Mars. in what to be artificial irrigation canals As the. water fills these canals. the suggesting vegetation rising in desert What the astronomers the canals. but strips of vegetation along them.
 To dig and handle such engineering feats the Martian canals would require high intelligence
 What would be the first message from Mars?
 Probably this: We are slowly freezing and dying of thirst"
 For that describes life on Mars-an ancient planet desert probably artfcially irrigated. And the temperature Mars is about twice cold the earth according to estimates by pr. c. B. Abbott director of the Smithsonian AstrophysicaI observa tory.
 Could Mars tell much? Unquestionably. For civilization if it exists there. probably is 100000 years in advance of How to communicate? Mathematics is the only universal language. Maybe Marconi.
