RAILROADS WILL
 SAVE MILLIONS
Economist Says Falling Prices In Coal and Steel Will Save Roads
 Millions During Year.

Chicago, April 22.-In the opinion of W. Jett ,Lauck, the rail employees economist, the reduction in the cost of living is no reason why the rail workers wages sholud be reduced.
 That was the burden of his state ment to the United States railroad labor board Lauck took the posi- tion that general price reductions should lower the cost of operating because coal and other materials are cheap.
 Lauck said falling prices would save railroads two millions in coal bills and four millions in steel bills during the coming year.
 He stated that since the materials were bought at wholesale the rail- roads would feel the reducton sooner than workers, as retail prices fall long after wholesale prices.

Any one who has plodded along for fifteen or twenty years at the same old line without making great splash about it, ought to consider the matter of Pat Rooney before he gets discouraged. For 31 years, Pat has been doing stunts on the stage. And now, at the end of those 31 years, he blossoms forth as a star! His father was one of the popular comedians of his day, and upon his death, young Pat, aged eleven, jump ed into "Lord Rooney" as a juve- nile dancer, to take his fathers place as bread-earner. From then on, he danced and sang and acted, mostly in vaudeville until finally, he reach ed stardom in ''Love Birds' recently opened here. And he stills looks like a youngster.

MINERS MEET OWNERS AGAIN

London, April 22.-The striking British coal miners have agreed to another meeting with the colliery owners and government representa- tives this afternoon. This meeting was the first since the miners broke off negotiations by refusing to yield in their demands for the pooling of profits.
 The failure of other unions to join in a sympathetic strike has taken the wind out of the sails of the miners to some extent and it is be- lieved they are tacking to port.

For, regardless of conversatio, the place that gets the crowd is the Aquarium. It has more visitors than any other mu- scum in New York-and they stay longer. Two million persons gazed at it's tanks last year. The official Aquarium boat, "The Sea Horse" starts in few days now, collecting more fish off Sandy Hook for the delight of the millions.

New York, April 21, New York City is sometimes accused of not giving enough thought and apprec- iation to outside problems-national and international. Maybe it's true; but we wish her critics would con- sider her situation. In one week there was, here within her own bound aries; first page developments in the the year; the re-stepping into the lime light of the Elwell case through an alleged confession; the Giants open ing of the polo grounds; the dis covery that Long Island Sound was already warm enough to go swimming in; the regular grist of mysterious "disappearances'; and finally, the startling act of local prohibition laws and local enforcement. The most upsetting factor of this was the clause making the man who takes the drink as liable as the one who sells it. New York is fairly reeling from the blow of that. And it's small time, indeed, that is left for attention to less personal matters in the world at large.
