DISSOLUTION OF RAILROADS ON PACIFIC COAST IS HARD
 BLOW TO SHIPPING SYSTEMS
yT2-~z. G .T..-

Addition of fifty miles to the rout- ing of transcontinental trains.
 Creation of at least one big juno tion on the valley lines to Los Ange- les.-probably at Goshen.
 Seventeen junction points will have to be established in California and Oregon, at which both passengers and freight will have to transfer.
 Many points now on main lines will have but branch-line service.
 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 they were established to serve.
 Scores of important shipping points will no longer have through service of any sort.
 REGROUPlNG MAY BE REMEDY
 The only remedy that appears in sight for the situation is the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission is now engaged in grouping Of the railroads of the country into limited number of enlarged systems. Accord ing 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 regrouping of west ern transcontinental roads by the com mission.
 In view of the huge amount of de- tail involved in the grouping process it is question whether the ro1nmis- sions order will be effective within the time the Supreme Court sets for unscrambling. So far no date has been fixed for compliance With the courts's order and there is no means of ascertaining what will be consid- cred a reasonable" time for dissolu- tion of the joint control arrangement.

EFFIE BLAZES TRAIL
 IN STYLE CREATION

DALTON, Ga., July 3. Fife Jones, midnight in color, superlatiVe- ly round as to girth and female Florian Flappey as to sartorial ap- pearances, recently removed from Cohutta, Ga, to Daltan and, without formal introduction to many of the social leaders in the dining car and Pullman belt of Daltan, struck out on course that has lifted her among the sensationally famous of this dis trict
 Fife, without blowing a horn, send ing out announcements, or anything walked right into the Baptist church here, while colored brethren and sis ters sat in open-mouth astonishmcnt and envy, wearing suit of knicker- lockers.
 Fife zephyred through the front door, paraded down the aisle-no mean isle, may it be said--and then crossed over in front of the pulpit, white the congregation laid down songbooks and forgot the chicken for dinner. She had on gray knickerbockers and silk stockings. Around her ample bosom there was draped a silk shirt-,regu- lar shirt-the striped, stick candy kind. Around her neck there was high starched-and also striped-stiff collar, and a mans necktie dangled from it. Effie's crowning glory was a sport hat.
 Fife reached her seat in absolute silence, but whoop resounded as she sat down. For time the service was threatened with riot, but the minister saved the day and Fife by beginning his sermon. And his sermon certain ly was an interesting one, for ne told the congregation all about his travels and the styles he had seen, bringing the speech to climax by an- nouncing that never, never had he seen such styles as women were wear ing.
 There is talk of a church meeting to discuss womens clothes, but Fife is not worrying. She says she Will wear 'em whenever she feels like 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8. - If the order of the United States Supreme Court recently entered ordering dis solution of the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads is carried out it will mean the greatest unscram- bling process ever carried out in rail road history.
 In the more than half century that the common control of the two roads has existed they have become sa in extricably interwined that their physi- cal dissolution will strike a heavy blow to shippers in the Far West.
 When the Southern Pacific secured control of the Central Pacific the two lines were pioneering practically in a territory which has grown in that period to one of the largest shipping districts in the United States. The lines linked together under common management form a network fron Ore gon to Mexico.
 Not only will coal traffic and freight routings be demoralizel, but through train routings will be serious ly interfered with. On account of the highly perishable nature of much of the freight handled the establishment of numerous functions is causing fruit and commission men serious concern,
 MUST RECONCILE BUSINESS
 So seriously is the decree of the highest court of the land regarded among business men that the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has appointed a statewide committee of leading business men to safeguard the interests of the public and to seek a means of reconciling the urgent traf- tic demands of the state with tEe iras- tic provisions of the court order
 Some of the results of the separa- tion of the two lines will be:

IT'S INDEPENDENCE DAY

What means this demonstration, In home, in street, and hall? What means this celebration
 Joined in by great and small? Why all this bunting floating And why these banners gay? What are these things denoting? It's Independence day. What means the gay bells ringing? Why do our hearts rejoice? What means the children's singing Each one with heart and voice? Why all this glorious shouting
 And all this grand display? Why are the people shouting,
 Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! What means the horses prancing With riders bold astride? While urchins, smiling, glancing Go tripping long beside? This yearly contribution,
 Which ne'er shall know decay, Tells of the Revolution
 It's Independence day. Fraternal thoughts engender
 A country's love that sticks, That's why we all remember
 The War of "Seventy-Six." And so we come displaying
 Our national love this way, The Stars and Stripes are saying "It's Independence day"

BIG OFFENSIVE
 IS LAUNCHED
 IN THE ORIENT

SHANGHAI, May 10.-"Within the next few years a big offensive is to be launched against leprosy in the Orient" according to Dr. w. w. Peter, member of the Council on Health Edu- cation, who has returned from visit in the Philippine Islands.
 About fifteen hundred lepers in the worlds largest colony of 5,0OO at Culion are already under the treat ment with ethylester of chaulmoogra oil. The governor general has ordered one of the doctors and chemist who have been interested in this new drug to proceed to Culion, there to establish a laboratory for checking up the still more extensive treatment proposed. Medical men throughout the Orient will be interested in the plans of the government of the Philippine Islands to make an attempt to wipe out the disease from the islands,
 Dr. Peter brought back with him. through the courtesy of General wood and the Public Health Service, ten liters of the thylester of chaulmoogra oil for experimental work in China He said that although the Culion leper colony, with over 5000 lepers, was said to be the largest in the world, | China, in all likelihood, has far more lepers than this number.
 "It may not be apparent that this is the case" he said, "because with us lerers are allowed to roam at large. Were they all gathered in one colony the number would be found to be as- | tonishingly large"

COLLEGE YOUTH NOT GUILTY OF
 BEING LIZZARD'
The languOr-

CHICAGO, May 10. - The languor- ous youth who lolls in a yellow canoe with purple stripes, drumming a ukulele, or who may be seen shak- ing a wicked "hoof" at the dance halls of the nations various va cation resorts, may possibly be college man, but Richard Yelling ton, Husband, dean of the personne department of Dartmouth College, will lay you a wager of about 10 to i that he is not.
 College men, according to Illus band, who was the principal speaker at a recent meeting here of the National Association of the Deans of Women, are not lounge lizards. They do not fritter away their vacation moments in frivolous pursuit.
 Instead when the campus closes down for the summer the college man-90 per cent of him, according to Dean Husband-hearkens to the call of industry and spends his vaca- tion period turning horny hand to something useful and, incidentally, gaihful They ahe to be found in fac-
 )ries, shops, stores, low offices, banks, newspaper offices, farms garages, behind soda fountains and even in pulpits, but only a small per centage of them idle through the Summer months.
 The charge that a majority of col lege students enter institutions of advance learning because it is a pleasant way to spend four years and father has plenty of money to pay the bills also was nailed as a canard by Dean Husband
 Sixty per cent of the freshmen he said, have formed a pretty good 1 idea of the vacations they desire to enter after leaving college. Of these few change their minds after try | ing out these vacations in their long vacations or after conversations with us.
 "The tendency of the modern stu dent" Dean Husband continued, "is to overspecialize. It is a mistaken idea that, left to himself, he will se- lect snap courses. We try to send him out with a broad minded view of things, not merely to fit him to hold down a job"

NEVADA HEARS RADIO
 TALK FROM HAWAII

TALON, Nev., May 10-"Come over to Hawaii and I'll give you bottle of beer"
 This conversation between Ha- waiian and a Californian came over the wireless of Dale Likes, fifteen year-old Fallon radio enthusiast, in loud, clear tones.
 Dale bought his instrument and made everything else himself. He is a regular licensed radio man of the United States government, and his sta tion is officially known as Radio 6ATM.
 A hotel man at Catalina giving a produce order to a dealer in San Diego, orchestra music from San Fran cisco, San Bernardino and Spokane and a sermon from the Trinity church, in Denver, are some of the interesting things that Dale Likes hears in Fall lon.

LABOR UNION OF LAPS ALARMS
 HAWAIIANS

| WAHISNGTON, May 10.-American business men in Hawaii are becoming increasingly alarmed at the rapid growth of a new Japanese-controlled organization known as the United Workers of Hawaii, according to ad- vices here from Honolulu. This organization, which already boasts a membership of several thous- and, seek "to unite in one body all the wage earners of Hawaii without dis crimination as to race, sex, creed, craft or color" While the new union recognizes the American Federation of Labor it admits of no restraint upon it's action with respect to Ha- waiian matters and has carefully re- served complete autonomy with re- and formulation of rules and regula- tions for it's members.
 as the more conservative labor ele- ment, look upon the new organization as the embodiment of the "One Big Union" idea, which is branded by the former as little better than Bolshe vism.
 ORGANIZATION CALLED RADICAL
 The United Workers of Hawaii is the outgrowth of the Central Labor Council of Honolulu, a radical Japan ese-controlled body which engineered the plantation strike of 191920, during which there was much violence and sabotage. Upon the payment of large bonuses to workmen the strike degen- erated into a racial rather than ain economic demonstration, and the movement finally came to an end without any of the demands having been compiled with.
 This organization, however, in con- ncction with certain Japanese inter- ests, financed trip by several dele gates to Washington for the purpose of urging the President to disapprOVe the so-called Hawaiian Labor Relief measure, which would permit aliens to come into the islands during cer- tain periods.
 The United Workers of Hawaii, the successor of the old Central Labor Council, at present is headed by an American, George Wright, who was one of the delegates sent to Wash ington. Control of the organization, however, is to be centered in a con- mittee on which will sit a Filipino, a Japanese, an American, a Korean and, eventually, a Porto Rican. Un- der the method of representation however, it is said that the Japanese delegate will have controlling voice.
