Set Bootleggers Up As Models of
 Good Salesmen

Cambridge, Jan. 13-Bootleg- gers were set up as models in salesmenship before students of the graduate school of business administration at Harvard today. William Maxwell, first vice presi- dent of Thomas A. Edison, Inc, in lecture before the class in salesmanagemen said that per sonal observation of the sales methods of wholesale bootleggers had convinced him that in many cases they had developed a credit able sales technique.
 ''It is not worthy" he added.

 OWN THEIR OWN .
 RAILWAY LINES

Berlin, Jan. 13.-Germany probably will continue to own and operate her railways, posts. te1egraphs and water ways, despite efforts by certain indus trialists and political leaders to induce the government to sell these public utilities to private interests.
 Government ownership of railways appears to have become a stable pol icy following this campaign and it is staunchly supported by. socialistic, democratic, liberal and labor elements.
 The campaign against government ownership followed the piling up of enormous deficits by all the railways and the pressure of Entente creditors for payment of Germany's war indenl- mites It was argued that the roads could be made to pay a profit under

 Therefore, Germany is not begging for mercy, imploring charity, but it demands-Justice!
 We demand justice which will give us chance to unfold the best that is in us; justice which recognizes us as an equal member of the comnun- ity of nations; justice which gives us the strength to cooperate with the other nations in establishing perman- ent world peace.

 MAY BE ABOLISHED
Ontario Considers Action Since There Seems To Be But Little For
 Him To Do.

Toronto, Jan. 31.-Ontario is con- sdering abolition of the office of sheriff, one of the oldest known to English law, but now described by the provincial public services commission as nothing but a glorfied bailiff."
 In Ontario the office was created for police duties but it's powers have dwindled until now the sheriff's sole official functions are appearing at the opening of the assizes court in off cial dress. including cooked hat and drawn sword, the hanging of murder CTS and the serving of a few legal papers.
 No sheriff in Ontario, however, has actually hanged q iilu in a century, that unpleasant duty being perform ed by paid hangman who travels from province to province shipping his galows and setting it up where it is needed,
 One proposal advanced by the com mission is to combine the offices of sheriff, high constable and jailer.

SAFETY FIRST PAYS

Accidental Deaths Reduced From
 S1 to 20 in Year

Chicago, Jan. 3l.-Systematc acci- dent prevention pays in dollars saved and suffering avoided, say officials of the Chicago Great Western railroad in making public figures to show re ductions in deaths and injuries on that road for 1921
 Accidental deaths were cut from 33 in 1920 to 20 in 1921. according 10 a statement issued by the company and the number of injuries reduced from S10 to 294 in this period.
 Ten of the deaths in the last year resulted from automobile crossing ac- cidents, five of those killed were tres passers on the right of way and five were employees, while no passengers were killed, the statement adds
 The western division won the ban ner offered by the company for few est train and train service casualties per 100000 engine hours.
 The company boosted safety work among the employees by means of daily wire bulletins in each division. announcing the number of days since there had been a reportable accident on the division. This bulletin was copied and posted at all telegraph stations It was put out to train crews whenever these cleared train from a station and was mailed to points in the service not reached by telegraph.
 Factors which fcnt to promote safety work according to the state mcnt, are:
 
 1. Whole hearted support of safety work by management
 ?. Conversion of superintendents to the idea that accidents show inef- 1ciency and that their prevention is just as much part of the days work as the prevention of tram delays shat safety work is the first principle of efficiency, not a side issue
 3. Conversion of employees to tile
