ciated Press) 1.-THE United States
Railroad Labor Board, in a decis-
ion issued today, upheld it's former
stand In denying maintenance of
way men their request for time and

upheld. A request for a ruling on
contract work, the decision stated
had been answered by previous de-
cisions, These decided such con-
tracing an attempt to avoid the
provisions of the transportation
act.
Rulings favorable to the en-

start and end at designated assem-
bling points and supervisory forces
shall be compensated on the same
overtime basis as the men super

UNITED STATES
IS INF NFER|OR IN
LIGHT CRUISERS
Navy Department Has OBJ
tained Figures From Eng
land and Japan Showing
Vessels Built or Building

Washington, Dec. 15( by the
Associated Press "A tabulation
obtained by the navy department
showing the positions of the Brit
ish, Japanese and American in
cruiser strength apparently shed
light on the situation which led the
house appropriations committee to
propose that President Harding me-
gotiate an international agreement
to check competition building in
these types.
The figures credit Great Britain
with As light cruisers of the first
line, built, building or projected,
and aggregregating 206,4S0 tons;
the United States, with 10 ships
building, $4,000 tons, and Japan,
with II ships built and 21 building
and projected, aggregating 191,450
tons.
In addition the list shows Great
Britain to have 13 light cruisers of
the second line, 69,230 tons, neith-
er the United States nor Japan be-
ing credited with any ships in this
classification.
In fleet submarines, Great Bri- =
tain Is credited with six of the first
line, 11,2S0 tons, six of the second
line, 1900 tons and two building
or projected, $500 tons; the Unit
ed States with three of the first
line, built, 3,31S tons, none of the
second line, three building, 6,375|
tons and six additional authorized
but not under contract; Japan with
no fleet submarines built butt
three under construction, $500
tons.
In first line submarines other
than fleet submarines, Great Bril-
tain is credited with az built, 3d.
740 tons, and six building. $3.50
tons; the United States with SO
built, 37,12O tons, 81 building, 49,
$50 tons; Japan with 27 built,
2S,5SS tons and second building
program of 28 vessels tonnage
unknown"
While the table showed decided
American inferiority in light
cruisers, the United States has a
distinct advantage in first line de-
stroyers with 295 built against ITS
for Great Britain and 54 for Ja-
pan. Six new destroyers are given
on the British building program.
none on the American and 3S on

Surely there are some good kind
hearted people in this city of ours,
who would not let a little child
suffer on Christmas, above all
times in the year. Surely there are
some loving hearts that this Christ
mas would give all they own to
have their little son or daughter
with them again this year. Per-
haps the little one has been taken
from his good home to the great
beyond, leaving the sorrowing
mother and father to long and
wish for him now. Perhaps it is
kind mother or hard working
father who has been taken, but
there is left plenty of money to
buy the big turkey, the candies and
nuts and the dollies and so on
needed to make Christmas a happy
one for some little heart.
But there are some little hearts
that have no mother, no father,
no money to buy candy and dollies
or whistles; and strange as it may
seem, these little hearts would ap-

FOUND TO BE TRIVIAL

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 15.--The
mystery surrounding the finding of
a blood stained automobile here
early today was dissipated tonight
when Walter Phillips, a brick lay
er, who left Los Angeles several
months ago, appeared at police
headquarters and claimed the auto
mobile as one stolen from him sew

Phillips stated he had been EN-

months. He said he had parked
his machine on Park Boulevard
last Tuesday night when the fuel
supply became exhausted and that
it was stolen from there.
Bloodstains on the car led po-

UNKNOWN DONOR GIVES
N. M. UNIVERSITY $500
TO ADVANCE WIRELESS

Thursday, December 10, 1922,
a gentleman of Albuquerque noti-
fled DR.. John A. Reidy,> treasurer
of the university and regent, that
the university is authorized to
draw upon him to the extent OF
five hundred dollars for the pur-
pose OF adding TO the equipment
of the Korber wireless station at
the university. When approached
upon the subject, President Hill
stated that the gentleman in ques-
tiou refused to have his name pub
lished in this connection and there
fore the name of the generous
donor must for the present re-
main undisclosed.
During recent days the Korber
wireless station of the State Uni
versity of New Mexico has been
put into operation, and on Wednes-
day, December 13, 1922, a demon
stration of the transmitting facili-
ties of the station was given at
the weekly meeting of the Albu-
uueruue Kiwanis club by Profess
sor Carey, assisted by students. At
the university a photograph pro-
euced music wnicn was heard
plainly from the receiving set
placed in the Y. M. G. A. during
the Kiwan,s club luncheon.
The Korber wireless station was
established in 1921 and was made
possible by an initial contribution
of five hundred dollars, contribu-
ted by Mrs. Jacob Korber of Al
buquerque at the solicitation of DR..
J. A. Reidy. regent, Since that
time several citizens have made
small contributions of various ma
terials which have been put into
place by Professor Carey, until
now the state university has prob
ably the most powerful station in
the state. Messages are received
from points as far distant as Hon
olulu, and when atmospheric con-
ditions are favorable messages may
be broadcasted to a distance of
several hundred miles.

NOT COUNTED OUT
Southwest Kansas VIII Break
Into the Wheat Column.
AIthO Condemned Situation
Could Be Worse, Says Koontz.

With favorable weather during the
next few weeks. the farmers in the ex-
state should realize on about 80 per
cent of their original wheat acreage
this year, according to j r. KoontZ,
assistant freight traffic manager, who
believes the same situation prevails
in some of the condemned" counties
further north. The yield remains to
be seen. of course. but at present the
indications are for from eight to
twelve bushels an acre.
Mr.. Koontz returned to Topeka
Wednesday after spending a couple of
days with the company'S livestock
demonstration train in that part of
the state, having gone out largely for
the purpose of investigating the wheat
conditions in that section. He came
back elated over the success the train
is having, and pleased to know that
after all considerable wheat is going
to be produced along the Santa Fe
lines in that part of the state.
Section Was Condemned
Several counties in the extreme
southwestern portion of the state have
been condemned by the wheat grow
ing interests, so far as a crop this
year was concerned, ever since the
long drouth last fall, and while it is
true that conditions generally are bad,
any production from that section at
all will be in excess of the original
estimate of the Kansas wheat crop this
year. This production is still uncer-
tain but at present Mr.. Koontz says
the farmers stand good chance to
realize on about thirty per cent of
the acreage sown to wheat last fall.
Wheat conditions as a whole are IA
vorable as far west as Kinsley, Mr..
Koontz says, and from that point west
the situation is eXtremel spotted.
South of Dodge City there is some
good wheat and from Dodge City to
Satanic, Mr.. Koontz says. the condi-
lions are fair. Only an occasional
good field of wheat was noticed be-
tween Satanic and Hugoton but the
situation is somewhat better around
Elkhart. Many fields will produce
nothing at all. the wheat growing in
grass like formation. Others might
produce as much as five or six bush
