Roads TO Appeal TO Board
for Wage Reduction.


Washington. May 25.-The nations
cost OF living bill probably will be
reduced nearly $1,000. 100000 year
M the result OF the ten percent re-.
duction In freight rates ordered by
the Interstate commerce commission.
government statistical experts said
today.
This means a saving OF $40 a year
for every person In the country.
The reduction will cut the nations
freight bill from 100000. 900 TO $780,.
100000 year, according to official
figures. The government experts
who have been following the trend
OF the cost of living estimate de-
crease or an increase In freight
charges is more than trlpled when Il
il finally passed on 20 the consumer.
"Pass II Down." Order.
Tho department of justice. II was
learned today. has orders from Pres
ident Harding to see that the rate
cut is passed down" to the con-
sumer Just as rate increases during
the war were quickly passed on"
The rate reduction Is to become
effective on or before July /, and
administration officials look for its
reflection In cost of living figures
shortly thereafter.
Administration leaders also hope
the rate cut order will have an i'm
mediate stimulating effect on bust
ness. The commission pointed out,
many business operations have held
back due to the belief that a rate
reduction was near.
Meanwhile, members Of the COM
mission are watching for the railroad
executives answer to the cut. Some
believe the reduction may be fought
in the courts on the grounds that the
commission has cut the earnings of
the roads below the average congress
desired they should receive.
Ask Wage Slices.
One move on the part o. the execu-
tives is certain. An appeal will be
made to the railroad labor board in
the near future for reduction OF
wages of all railroad workers because
of the rate cut.
The decision on freight rates clear
ly indicated strong sentiment
among some of the commissioners
for a passenger fare reduction but
the majority apparently still is
against such a cut. The number of
railroad passengers decreased from
102,O00,0O0 in June, 1920, to S1,27S,0O0
in January, 1922, and it was admitted
that the high passenger fares were
partly responsible.

Sunbeams Destroy Bacteria

Experiments in various quarters
have shown that sunbeamS are able
to destroy bacteria in water at a
depth of at least twenty inches be-
meath the surface. one might almost
liken the rays Of Light in such a case
to jayeins and arrows piercing an
enemy, for it has been found that the
destructive action IS greatly dimin-
iShed if only the perpendicular sun
beams fall upon the water.
The slaughter of the bacteria is by
far the greatest Nhen both perpen-
dicuIar and ObiQle rays enter the
water uninterrupted. Like ship in
action the sun is most powerful when
it can rake the eEemy with cross

that a mouse isn't the frail helpless
little creature it looks to be. Accord

Hutton of DWnferplIine. Scotland the
average mouse travels about ten miles
a day. Some mice make real speed
records, and cover even more ground
than this in "A hours. Mr.. Hutton
found. There was one mouse in partic-
ular in his collection, that smashed
all the long-distance records in mouse
dom by running 3G5 miles in % daN
And all this marathon mouse required
to keep him going was a haf-penny
worth Of oatmeal during the entire
