at such places as Newport. Fine tub
frocks and blouses are sent to the
cleaners every week as negligently as
in other communities wearables are
bundled up TO be called for by the
laundress The weekly bill at the
cleaners often amounts to a figure
that would make a tidy dress allow

RAILROADS MAY
CUT PASSENGER
TARIFFS NEXT
Lower Fares Favored by U. s.
Officials to Increase
Revenues.
BY w. II. ATKINS.
International News Service.


Lower passenger fares on the rail-
roads will follow the sweeping cuts
in freight rates. high Government Of.
ficlals declared today.
A strong minority Of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission main.
tains that lower passenger fares are
essential to larger revenues from the
travelling public.
People are not doing much travel
now under present high rates. This
was shown today by Interstate Com
merce Commission figures revealing
that passenger traffic on all railroads
in the United States is 1000, 200. 900
passenger miles below normal.
Administration officials believe tho
roads must cut their passenger fares
to a lower figure to attract more
earnings from that source.
Sentiment Is strong among men,
bers OF the Interstate Commission for
q slash in the passenger rates, If the
roads propose such reductions. They
regard It as an important step in the
Of the carriers, for it
would provide labor for many of the
thousands OF railroad workers now
idle.
There also is strong belief at the
that the railroads should
issue again the popular mileage book
at reduced rate Of fare. The com
members are said to believe
that this would stimulate travel and
raise the earnings Of the railroads.
A thorough overhauling Of the en-
tire rate structure. rather than a
purpose to force labor to shoulder
the burden Of postwar readjustment
on the carriers, is now the best ac-
cepted view Of those men who guide
the Cabinet in business matters.

Il ACCEPT"

The French people are said TO have
adopted beautiful custom, which
more and more must endear them to
American hearts. In addition to the
splendid care taken of the graves OF
American heroes by Government en-
ployees, each individual grave has an
individual keeper. After the war
those grateful people went out to
the cemeteries and the leader of
ceremonies going from grave 10
grave would ask, "Who will take
charge of the grave of this hero and
keep it growing howersg" Before
he could finish asking the question
someone would raise hand and say
II accept" Not 81 promise" or ~
will" as il duty driven, but ms a
pleasure and n privilege nc
ccpt." And on Sundays and holi-
days there is n friendly rivalry
among them in keeping the graves
beautiful.
Scattered here and there in this
country are men and women who
have accepted" the responsibility
of looking after, encouraging aud
inspiring some boy OF girl who would
not otherwise get square deal.
Many adopt children OF course, and
every chldlcss home ought to have
adopted children in it, but this is not
always possible. There arc mon and
women who accept with pleasure

in material ways. May their tribe

COAL PRODUCTION
TO Be CURBED
Local Committees Are Being
Formed in Virginia by
State Fuel Administrators
Alexander Forward

Richmond, Va, Sept, AT
tempts to proiiteer in coal during the
present emergency will be handled
in such manner rs the laws and the
cooperation OF the public press will
permit. Extortion in the price OF
fuel will not be countcnanccd. This
is the announcement made by the
State Fuel Administrator Forward.
Local committees are being form
ed throughout the state the larger
centers of population being organi2-
ed first. 4 part of the duty Of these
committees will lac to ascertain
prices being charged by dealers and
by local agencies to the consumer
and to recommend what should be ii
fair price for each kind OF coal. ex
penses of handling being given due
consideration.
These local committees are sccur-
ing information as to the amount Of
coal in the hands of dealers and in
possession Of Industries and are re-
porting the facts TO State
Administrator Forward. They are
canvassine the situation in their
home communities with "a view TO
learning the needs Of the immediate
future. Special attention is being
given the requirements for domestic
consumption and for enterprises in
Class priority, which include pub
lie utilities. hospitals, ice plants, cold
storage warehouses, state, county
and city governments, With their
hospitals aud schools. Caneries have
been added to the last and are being
furnished with coal under Class / Of
priority for emergency use.
1t is anticipated that later on
when coal production increases to a
point where there 10 available coal
for other than Glass prioritics as
now constituted, 1t will bccomc the
duty Of local committees to recon-.
mend to the state fuel administrator
what industries should first BE- scrv
ed with coal in the public interest.

by State Fuel Administrator For

Major Forward made special repre-.
sentations in Washington Monday,

Administrator Spencer appeared
deeply impressed by the argument
and suggested that local supplies OF
coal or wood be secured for redry
