Henry Ford Reforms
the Logging Camps
(By United Press)

Iron Mountain, Mich.-Henry Ford
has revolutionized the system of con-
Quoting logging camps
When Ford started lumber produc-
tion, besides carrying on operations in
a progressive manner, he gave consid-
Grafton to the accommodation and COM
forts of the men in his lumber camps
at Sidnaw and Ontonagon.
The men now enjoy all the comforts
of a real home In the old days, the
men slept in dirty hunks with straw
for mattresses, ate food that was good,
bad and sometimes worse, we're paid
low wagons and were forced to read
by lamplight, providing they bought
their own reading matter.
Now it is different The buildings
are equipped with electric lights, read
ing room, dining tables and writing
desks. Each man has his own bed, not
bunk, equipped with a mattress,
sheets, blankets, comforter and pillows.
And last, but not least, there are
bathrooms. Now every man takes a
bath at least once week and has a
complete change of clean clothing to
put on. In the old days, many lum-
berjack would go into the woods in
the fall and not take bath until the
camp broke up in the spring.

Must Secure New Act.

Madison, Wis. The only way
Wisconsin can regain control over rail-
road passenger fares within the state
now definitely lodged with the feder-
al government as a result of the de-
eision today of the United States Su-
preme Court, is through change in
the transportation act, M. B. Olbrich,
special counsel for the state, who
twice argued the case before the court
declared.
Representatives of Wisconsin in
Congress will probably be appealed
to, he said, to support passage of a
bill already introduced to take this
power over passenger fares in state
travel, away from the Interstate Com
merce Commission and again place it
with railroad commissions.
The present case was commenced by
the Chicago Burlington and Quincy
railway in December 1920, when it OBJ
tanned an injunction restraining the
Wisconsin railroad commission from
putting into effect an order establish
ing fares within the state. 1t was APP
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court on February %, 1921, argued on
March 10 and re-argued before the
court on December 5, 1921.
Make Appeal This Week.
Representatives of railroad commits
sions from all states in the nation will
appear before the Interstate Commerce
committee of the House Of Representa-
tives this week to ask that the Esch-
Cummins transportation act be
amended to protect states in the exer-
else of reasonal jurisdiction over rail
road passenger rates within their bor-
RS with power vested in the Inter
Commerce Comrl ssion to remove
discrimination, Carl D. Jackson of the
s~vn>,n railroad commission said
today.
He said that the Wisconsin commits
sion while regretting the supreme
court decision that removes its power
over fares has acted on the assump-
ton that the supreme court would de-
eide the case in favor of the rail
roads.
Now that the courts decision has
been announced, the proposed amend
ment to the transportation act will be
reported from the house committee
within short time, Mr.. jackson said
He declared that the construction
placed on the act by the court was di.
rectly contrary to that placed on it by
those who drew up the measure.

Powder and Paint
Make Deceivers

San Francisco, Cal.-Women who
powder their noses, touch up their
hair with bit of golden CLINT or add
the bloom of youth to their cheeks are
positively dishonest, Evangeline Booth,
national commander of the Salvation
Army, declared while here recently.
Women use makeup" to deceive,
Miss Booth said ga woman has no
right to fool the world" she added.
"The woman with blazing cheeks, in
digo eyes and carroty hair is cheat"
Many divorces are caused by the
fact that women have attempted to de-
ceive their husbands regarding their
appearance, she thinks. Man, she add
ed, wants women as nature intended
they should be.
The enormous sale of cosmetics in
the United States is disgrace to the
country, Miss Booth feels. IF our
young women of today would only
take the money they use for paint and
powder and buy milk for the poor,
starving babies of the world, they
wouldn't need any artifice to make
themselves attractive" she said. "In
their cheeks would be the hue of JOY
that comes from the heart and in their
eyes the light that comes only from
giving service to the world"
Miss Booth thinks moderation and
utility should be the guide when it
comes to clothes Following the style
of the Salvation Army, she says, skirts
should be five or six inches above the
ground.
"Too many women destroy their true
womanliness by immodest dressing and
they have only themselves to blame
when their characters are questioned, !
she asserted.

official agricultural bloc after con-
ference with the President today said
the President believed he had plan
which would be supported by the farm
ers and country generally.
Bloc members, the Kansas senator
said, are behind the bill now before
Congress establishing an intermediate
form of credits to provide the farm
ers with working capacity. Senator
Capper was confident this measure
would be enacted into law at the pres
ent session. 1t would provide loans to
the farmers of from six months to
three years on farm commodities based
on warehouse receipts and on livestock,
the paper to be discounted by the local
banks and to be handled by the fed
eral farm loan board which would is
sue debentures against such loans and
sell them in the open market.

Wisconsin's Right to Regu-
late Passenger Fares De-
MED By Supreme Court
GIVES FEDERAL POWER
Supreme Court of the United
States Rules Against Wiscon-
sin in Decision Today.
CBy Associated Press Leased Wire,


Washington, D. C. - Railroad pass
ect to regulation by the federal gov
.rnment, the supreme court today de-
dared. The court sustained the low
r courts which prohibited the Wis
;onsin railway commission from inter
'ering with the Chicago Burlington
md Quincy railroad in putting into
,ffect increases in passenger fares in
state travel authorized by the inter
tate commerce commission.
The court in another decision hand
ID down today held that railroad rates,
ares and charges within the state of
New York are subject to regulation
~ the interstate commerce commits
ion.
The court in the New York case af-
irmed the decision of the United
States district court of the northern
district of that state requiring the
tate to comply with orders of the in
erstate commerce commission increas-
1g passenger fares and charges and
he rates on cream and milk.
States Tried to Regulate.
Both rate cases grew out of an or
Ter of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission authorizing railroads to in
lrease interstate rates, fares and
charges and to bring their intrastate
rates and fares to the level of inter
state rates. The commission held the
state rates must be adjusted to elm
mate preferences and determinations
in labor of traffic moving between
points wholly within state and
against interstate commerce.
New York state authorized increas.
ed rates upon state freight traffic
but refused to increase passenger
fares, sleeping and parlor car charges
and rates on milk and cream trans
ported by passenger trains. 1t claim
ed control in state rates and fares
under the charters it granted rail
roads to operate. The government in
the New York litigation contendeG
that Congress in providing for the re.
Mobilization of the railroads intended
to regulate all and that inadequate
state rates were a burden upon inter
state commerce and discrimination
which the commission had authority to
remove.
