What to Do-and Then

r row to remove callers-Ex-
n cuse yourself from the
room for a moment, and
never come back. This is the
simplest way to remove callers.
After a while they will miss you.
Then they will grow weary sitting
alone, and finally get up and 60.
Another excellent method is to
set fire to the house, but this re-
quires more time, and many
women do not feel equal to the
physical exertion involved.
How to stop a bus-Stand on
each of four corners successive

that you are a scarecrow shaken
by a breeze. If these methods
fail, 60 to the nearest telephone,
call up friend you can trust,
and ask him how he stops a bus.
How to remove ink spots--A
great deal depends on the ink.
If it is thick enough, and fairly

Having in this remarkable man

own OF all the railroads, you ask me
IN your letter: If you find these
statements are true as being the
findings Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, do you then suggest to
the people of the United States that
they shall repudiate that Commits
sion and all its works." Consider
ing what you yourself have done.
That is an extraordinary question for
you to ask of me. AS / have shown,
your estimate Of the value Of all the
railroads is enormously based upon
the findings Of the Commission re-
the value of only Z per cent
OF the railway trackage Of the United
States, this trackage not being in
the least representative of the rail-.
roads as a whole. But the Inter-

II you had used this figure Of track
age, as you should have, since your
estimate Of the average valuation
per mile was based on trackage, then
your estimate Of the total valuation
OF all the railroads of the United
States would have been $4,64O, 900
COO more than the estimate you ac-
tually made, Or over SO per cent
more. Could any better evidence Of
the campaign of misprepresentat
being carried on by certain labor
leaders be afforded than your own
use OF these figures?
But your Misrepresentation of the
facts is even worse than the figures
| have given would indicate. The
railways whose tentative valuations
you and Mr.. Plumb cite have only
about Z per cent Of the total track
age III the country, and only two Of
them have more than 1000 miles OF
line. Only one-half of the number
own as many as 500 miles OF line.
These are not representative roads

their valuations are not representa-
