Kentucky, has lined up against

cash bonus, and other members
OF the Kentucky delegation who
were here voiced their opposition
to the proposed sales tax anil
against the bonus.
Mr.. Ernst. who had not discuss

ton was revived recently. sai,'
today that he thinks it would be

that he might vote either way a.

rates. He indicated that the rate re- auctions would come this year, but did not specify the period.
 The heavy increase in labor cost, '" he added, .is particularly burden some in the maintenance work and terminal part of the transportation work. It seems to me that more progress should be made in these branches for the adoption of labor saving methods"
 The former director expressed a doubt whether a maximum output" was being obtained in these two branches for the expenditure made.
 T believe that the present railroad situation demands, in view of the in- creased cost of labor, a concentration of attention upon terminal and main tenance work with an especial view to increasing output and improving results" he added.
 More Economy Necessary
 Tt is of supreme importance that new msth ods be devised and that more economy be obtained in the nece ssary maintenance and terminal work, now costing approximately e5 per cent Of she total operating ex- penses.''
 Hines expressed belief that the public desired greater economics through unification of facilities

Railway Merger
 Again Urged

washington, April 11-ConsoHda- tion of the nations whole network ot rail lines into a few large systems is the ultimate solution of the railroad problem, according to Walker D. Hines. former director-general ot railroads.
 Hines, in an exclusive interview, de- elared that this consolidation should come voluntarily on the part of the railroads. but that eventually 1t will probably have to be compulsory.
 He also strongly advocated the con- soldation of terminals and the com mon ownership of freight cars sas means of immediate relief for the roads He urged these steps for the nurpose of siashing operating costs which, he said. must be reduced at once in order to permit ''rate reduc- tions.''
 The former director indicated that the drastic reduction of expenses would enable the roads to be run at A profit during 1922 even with cuts in passenger and freight rates. On wages the director declined to express an opinion. ,.
 "The railroad situation is more diff fcult to appraise today than ever be- fore in history he said. 'The roads had no opportunity prior to Federal control to make vast profits out or the war and no opportunity to build up their reserves during Federal con troI. Consequently they entered the period of readjustment quite unpre- nared It will be a long road to re- coyery."
 Hines declared that a fundamental condition of railroad prosperity was adeouate traffic, which was not only missing at the present time, but did not appear imminent.
 '.Throughout the whole of last year the freight traffic on all roads was from 1O0, ,Oo0 to 150.00o carloads less per week than in corresponding periods of the preceding year. The average decrease was from 12 to fl per cent" he added.
 .sFoward the close of the year freight traffic dropped so low as to be less than the traffic handled dur ing the great rail strike of 1919 or even during the post-armistice period of 1918. All indications point to slow recovery, if any, during the com ing year. It is reasonable to believe that there will be no return to pros ? perity until the volume of traffic is increased. The imperative need at present is to practice economy"
 Rate Cuts Forecast.
 Hines declared that great con- cern' must be felt by the roads toward slashing operating costs be- cause of the strong pressure" brought to bear for reduction in

New Sea Monster Is Hooked From Pacific

Los Angeles, Cal. April 12-Blase fishermen were astonished and learn ed professors shook their heads in be- wilderment with the capture of an un- usual new sea monster, apparently of an unknown species, by the crew of a fishing craft off Long Beach. The monster measured TIA feet long and weighed 1,500 pounds. The capture was made about eight miles from land.
 Captain Ray Palmer, skipper of the fishing boat Music, the crew of which landed the monster, had just baited and lowered his line when the fish swallowed the hook, bait and part of the line. For three hours the crew battIed with their prey, and it was not uIztil after they had shot the fish with a rifle that the members of the crew were able to bring it ashore. The mysterious monster has wide, Lcavernous mouth containing what

can save an important part of the heavy cost of railroad operation by forcing further unificatton." he added.
 The transportation act provides one plan for voluntary consolidation of railroad properties under the Inter = state Commerce Commission I be- lieve this is the first step, but bs- iieve eventually there probably will have to be a compulsory conSollda- ton into a few large systems
 Meanwhile I believe that the terminals ought to be more fully consolidated and a plan speedily de Velrnc-~ F0r connn'n0 ownership of
 iCr ed for common ownership iof freight ears.
 Ways must be found to reduce the heavy operating costs so as to reduce rates and still leave the railroads with adeQute returns These econo- mics, I fully believe, will result even tually in a consolidation of all roads into a few large systems"

TO PUT A DIAMOND TO THE TEST.

A variety of tests may be advisable for one who is not an expert judge of diamonds; and even one who is, an imitation may leave temporarily pug zled so that some mechanical or phy- sica1 test is resorted to- The old test of cutting a piece Of glass with the stone under Investigation is now re- versed, though with an additional variation A file takes the place of glass, and the rasping edge of the little tool is brought against the sparkling surface of the gem under suspicion. This is an attack no inn pjoster can survive for a single in stant. No impression, of course, can be made on a genuine diamond
