 Despite this situation there was an increase In the net operating canal revenue, the total for the year being placed at approximately 8s,450, ,0OO, an increase of about S75O.0O0 over the total the year before. This was brought about. the report says. by a material reduction in operating ex- penses
 Auxiliary business operations are not 50 successful. however. The canal business operations, including mechanical shops, material storehous- es and fuel oil plants, showed a profit of $S23,260 as against Sb64,2l1 the year before, while the Panama Rail- road company showed losst of s710.- SO1 as compared with a profit of 3s3.- 2S2 in 1921.
 Many Vessels Through Canal
 The number of vesslss passing through the canal during the fiscal year was 2.7S6 as compared with D. S92 the year before, but the net ton- mage was slightly greater. denoting of course an increase in the average size of vessels using the waterway.
 Cargo passing through the canal was 1O,SS4.910..or 93.s per cent of the

The trade with Australasia has al so fallen on The total loss of cargo amounted to 664,4l8 toms In .thia case also economic conditions are in the main responsible for the decline. 1 but there also has been some diver sion of traffic from Panama to com petiing routes.
 Exports From United States Exports from the United States to the Far East increased from I,2l8,- a06 to 1,72S.172 tons. Imports from the Far East fell from 42S,044 to S0S.3lb.
 The most remarkable gains of the year were in the trade the Pacific coast of North America. Exports from the west coast of the United states to Europe were l,302,1S8 tons, as compared with 1bd,513. Western Canadian imports from Europe in creased from 20,416 tons to 14O,6bS tons and American imports from l44,- 591 to 1S6,696.
 Cargo moving east to west in the United States coast wise trade in- creased from 6OS,429 to I,2SS,O75 tons and cargo moving from west to east from 673.950 to 1,274,462. This rapid development of the coastwlse trade Is the most conspicuous feature of the years business. It has com ponsated for losses elsewhere, and maintained the volume of traffic at nearly the same level as in 1921"
 As to vessels using the canal, Am erican led the list as heretofore with a total of 1,095. British were next, numbering 936 and Japanese third with 1S9, American craft showed a falling off in numbers, but an in- crease fin tonnage as compared to the year before, whereas British vessels decreased both in number and ton mage. The number of Japanese ves- sels increased 53 and the tonnage rose from 613,245 to S72,466. Frnch, German, Dutch and Swedish vessels also registered an increase.
 American vessels carried 45.5 per cent of the cargo moving through the canal; British vessels S0.5 per cent, and Japanese 9.5 per cent.

SHOULD PENALEzE 1 THE JAY WALKER
Executive Chairman of A. A. A. BlameS Him for Many Accidents

Washington, Nov, 2s.-Blame for the greatest number of street and road accidents in which automobiles and pedestrians figure, is placed upon the shoulders of the "jay- walker" by M. o. Eldridge, executive chairman of the American automobile associa- tion. The public is entirely too ready to blame the driver. MT. Eldridge de- clares, the first cry that goes up, as a rule. when such an accident occurs, is that the driver was at fault, when as a matter of fact, in a large major ity of cases the person injured was to blame.
 Explaining a chart summary of traffic accidents in New York city, in which the fault or incapacity of the proper party is shown, MT. Eldridge declared that while almost 50 per cent of the causes of accidents are unknown, the blame in the cases where the fault was determined was overwhelmingly placed on the injured one
 Over a certain period of time in which 7,327 accident, involving priv ate automobiles, occurred, thes police department of New York city found by thorough investigation that in 45O cases the driver of the car was to blame," he continued. Tn S.1ss cases the person injured was to blame, and in 3,6SS cases the cause of the accident was unknown. With the heavy preponderance of blame placed on the person injured in the known causes of accidents, it is but fair to presume that the injured per son was to blame in more than 50 per cent of the remaining 3,683 cases.

Partial Success Attends Leprosy Treatment h HonoIulu--Paroles For 10 Inmates Arc Recommended,


 Honolulu, T. H., Nov. 2S.-iPar3les for 19 more inmates of the Kalapau- pau leprosarium on the islands of Molokai, some of whom have been confined at the settlement for more than twenty years, have been recom- mended by the territorial board of health as the consequence of the suc- cessful results that have attended their treatment with chaulmoogra oil specific, evolved by pr. A. IL, Dean, president of the university of Hawaii
 The latest paroles, to sixteen men and three women, brings to nearly 200 the number of persons who have been treated in Hawaii since 1919, when the specific was discovered, ac- cording to a health board announce ment.
 Persons released on parole are not considered to be cured, but the exam ming physicians believe that < the disease has been, checked in 3stheir cases sufficiently to permit them to mingle with other persons without danger.

Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Mentho- Sulphur, says noted skin specialist. Because Of its germ destroying prop critics, this sulphur preparation in- stantly brings ease from skin irrita- ton, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth.
 It seldom fails to relieve the tor 'ment and disagreement. Sufferers from skin trouble should get ahlittle jar of Rowles Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like 8 cold cream.

Easing this upon conservative es- inmates.
 During the same period of time, in which 1909 accidents. involving taxicabs, occurred, the cause for 51 such cases was traced to the driver while 437 cases were blamed on the person injured, and the cause of 714 accidents remained unknown. These figures emphasize the con- tention that no traffic legislation Is complete until it provides penalty for jay-walking. If a motorist is to be fined for disobedience of a. traffic signal then the pedestrian should be fined for jay walking across the street, putting himself as well as every mo- torist in the immediate vicinity in danger"

SLAVE TRAFFIC
Is INCREASING,
LEAGUE INFORMS
Commission Reports Evil Is
Very Much Alive at Pres
ent Time.
By DAVID L. BLUNmNFELD
u. p. staff CorrespondentD

IL = stan 10IIte IOll4tlA-f
LONDON. June 2s.-CBy L. PD
The White Slave trafic is very
much alive"
In these words a high Official Of
the League OF Nations White Slave
commission dispelled the idea that
white Shaving" is thing OF the
rast.
THE evil exists today just as drug
evils, drink evils, immoral house
evils exist" he explained. under the
noses OF the police and vigilance
commissions OF the whole world. -
The officials explained that for
several years people have allowed
themselves 10 be lulled into A sense
Of Indifference 70 the slave traffic.
so long as an evil does not touch
the life Of these people, they are
quite content 20 pass il by" he said.
Nevertheless, he said. during the
years since the war, the White
Slave traffic has increased rather
than decreased In volume.
Where does the traffic flourish?
The answer IS to be found in every
Town which Is sufficiently large TO
lure young girls out OF their homes
at night in search of innocent en-
ioyment; towns not only in France
(alleged 10 be the White Slavers'
paradise), but In England Italy.
Germany. Austria. Greece, Russia,
India and the United States.
White Women in Net.
In Russia there are many procur-
ers who have sufficiently tempting
inducements 10 lure women TO the
White SLAYER via the Ukraine, thence
through Asia Minor 10 Egypt and
the brothels, of Alexandria. where
the sorting is effected and the victim
marked for shipment TO South
America. or Australia, or the Yoshi-
waras of Japan.
"Oh, yes" the official said, don't
fool yourself. There are more white
women than I would care to tell you
about in those flower quarters of
Osaka. Yokohama, Kabe, Nagasaki
and Toxic"
India, too, has her procurers,
White Shaving" embraces all colors
in its tentacles. The rretty quad
rooms Of the West Indies, the oct
rooms OF the Bahamas. the dainty
Nautch dancers of India. the geisha
Of Japan, the Fellaheen women from
ancient Egypt, even the almond
eyed Chinese are fish for the White
Slavers' net.
The White SLAYER has his agents
everywhere. What looks like a brok-
en- down real estate Office in Alexan-
dria may we'll cover one Of his lalrs,
the actress employment bureaus in
the larger towns Of the South of
France; the innocent looking street
cafes OF Paris; the ticket offices of
the bull fighting rings Of Spain
spiders parlors" into which the fly
is only too innocently willing TO
walk.
Forged Letter Ruse on Victim.
What are the methods? There are
many. The most used is the forged
letter and the fake telegram. Mary
Jones, say. who lives in Liverpool,
comes home tired from her steno-
graphic work of the day. She wishes
maybe that some beau would take
her TO the movies. The Shaving agent
has been watching her for weeks,
noting her acquaintances, her
friends. their names, and the girls

How Your Money Will Be
Spent

Every resident of the United
States will contribute Sl.20 this year
for the building of good roads by the
national government and it must be
remembered that for every dollar
spent by Washington the states
where the money is spent must
spend an equal amount. This S2.40
per person will be the largest out
lay for good roads in any single year
for more than twenty years. The
amount has been fixed by the bud
get, and it is regarded as none too
high. Good roads mean the exten-
sion and the development of busi-
ness particularly for the farmer, who,
after all, is the most important fac
tor in American life. Financially,
good roads cost the people great
deal more than their President costs.
The expenses of the President, en-
bracing his salary and expenses,
costs each resident two and one-half
mills per year, so the head of the
nation is not an expensive luxury
ever-that is, directly. The figures

Heppner-I lone Game As Viewed
BY Editor of lone Independent


The lone Independent did not de-
vote much space to a write-up of
the ball game recently played on
lone grounds between the Egg City
and Heppner teams, as this is the
way Bro. Ackerman talks about it
in his last issue:
Van Marter's band of ballplayers,
recruited largely from Portland and
lone talent, came down from Hepp-
ner last Sunday bent on returning
with nine lone Scalps. As usual when
they run up against the real thing
they went home empty handed. lone
could only roll up seven tallies in
the first inning, after which the
Heppner battery was switched from
Broughton and Griffin to Moeller and
Aiken. Heppner did better after
this and rolled up four tallies to
lone's three, our boys being con-
tent to allow the visitors to make
respectable showing but never to
become dangerous. In the seventh
inning Dutch" Reitmann, while rum
ming from third to home badly spik-
ed pitcher Moeller who was covering
the home plate, cutting deep cash
in his leg and forcing him out of the
game. On account of numerous OBJ
