Some of the results of the sep
aration OF the two lines will be:
Three changes from San Fran

Addition of fifty miles to the
routing of transcontinental trains.
Creation of at least one big
junction on the valley lines to Los
Angeles-probably at Goshen.
Seventeen junction points VIII

MIA and Oregon, at which both
passengers and freight will have

Hundreds Of points now having
Southern Pacific service will be
cut off entirely from that road
and vice versa.
Shops employing hundreds OF
men will be cut off from the roads

Scores of important shipping
points will no longer have through
service of any sort.
Regrouping May Be Remedy.
The only remedy that appears
i'm sight for the situation is the
fact that the interstate commerce
commission is now engaged In a
grouping of the railroads of the
country into limited number OF
enlarged systems. According to
railroad men, the transportation
act Of 1920 authorizing this plan
of consolidation supersedes all
former laws, and any relief to be
had must come through the re-
grouping of western transconti-
mental roads by the commission.
In view of the huge amount OF
detail involved in the grouping
process it is a question whether
the commissions order will be ef-
factive within the time the su-
preme court sets for unscrambling.
So far no date has been fixed for
compliance with the courts order,
and there is no means OF ascer-
tanning what will be considered q

IL Masquerade
A Problem in Conduct
By Idah McGlone Gibson

Clavering could see that there
was still a little lingering shame
In DR.. Millions mind, even after
his friend had confided in him
all the thoughts he had as he tried
to rescue his wife. Fearing that
this thought would retard his re-
covery Clavering hastened to reas-
sure him.
"You have nothing to regret,
MiIt, old friend" he said. "You
have always done everything In
your power to help and care Tor
your poor wife.
"The remark you made regard
ing your wife was natural and hui
man. II you intimated that at
last you would be free from some
one. for whom you could do no
good by being tied as husband,
you have paid for 1t many times
over. In the moment of crisis you
put every consideration of your
self aside completely and offered
your life to save hers.
"I have sometimes wondered,
Milt," continued Clavering, "whe-
ther 1t is not the braver thing
sometimes to disregard the old
idea that to give ones life for
another is the bravest of all NOR
tai sacrifices"
"But, Jim, I could not let my
wife suffer SO horrible a death as
was threatened IL l could by any
possibility save her."
THAT is true, you were right to
save her suffering, If possible, but
you must remember that your life
was worth much more to the world
than hers. And that is something
which, perhaps, poor Harry Glen
dening cannot say to himself when
he thinks of the tragedy that he
has brought into the lives of SO
many people" ;"
CIavering was under the I'M
preston that DR.. Milton had seen
the accounts of the murder OF the
night before, but after he had
spoken he knew that 1t was all
news to his friend.
Believeing 1t would help Dr.
Milton to get his mind off his
own problems, he hastened to tell
him the whole story.
"How horrible!" exclaimed NIL
ton. "Do you know how Glen
dening is at present? wish l was
able to go over and help little" "
Neither Dave nor l, Milt, knew
anything about the murder until
we read it in the papers, for We'
of course, had hurried after you.
After the news came l rushed ac-
ross the city to the hospital and
talked with the nurse, who In
