are high or low depends on what It
costs the railroads to operate. There
fore when the management Of the
Western Maryland found, after care.
ful investigation that we could have
our engines and cars repaired more
economically by q contractor than we
could repair them ourselves, 1t seemed
to us that the sensible thing to do was
to make contracts for such repairs.
"The Western Maryland could not
accomplish this result by sending en-.
gines and cars to Philadelphia. or to
some other point where large con.
struction or repairs concerns are 10.
Gated, because OF the cost of trans
portaton, the profit which the con-
tractors under these conditions would
necessarily have insisted on to cover
overhead, ETC., but after diligent effort
we found that we could secure a con-
tractor who was willing to come on
the ground and because Of utilizing the
existing shops, roundhouses and other
facilities Of the railway company, and
consequent low overhead. would ac-
cept an extremely small margin of
profit and thus allow the railway COM
pany to effect the economy Of opera
tlon which the plan was designed to
accomplish.
"The Western Maryland is not alone
in making these contracts. Among the
other roads which have made them are
the Great Northern. the Erie, the Chi.
cago Milwaukee and st. Paul, the New
York Central, the st. Louis-San Fran
cisco and others. The labor organiza.
tions which object to these contracts
did not call their men out on strike.
but pursued peaceable methods Of ap-
pealing to the Labor Board last fall,
and although these cases were heard
before the Labor Board December last,
they have not yet been decided. The
contracts are still in force and en-
ployes Of the contractors are. as far a.
know, working quietly. The Labor
Board has announced that employees
who think they have a grievance must
appeal to that board and not 60 on a
strike pending its decision on the pen
atty Of forfeiting relief which the La
Dor Board might otherwise give.
Are the employees Of the contractor
being treated unfairly? Not. judged
by the standards of what men doing
exactly the same kind OF work in out
side industries along the Western
Maryland Railway are making. The
average mechanic along the Western
Maryland in outside industries is max
ing fifty cents per hour; the con-
tractors employees doing exactly the
same kind Of work demand an average
rate OF seventy cents an hour.

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It Is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia is one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication Of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for trife.

BLAMED
IN FAILURE OF
". u. ATHLETES
Cupid s Fatalities
Deplored by School
Paper.

Chicago. Jan. 27.-The distract
ing influence of co-eds on athletes
at Northwestern university is re-
sponsible for the consistently poor
showing of the schools teams. ac-
cording to an editorial published in
the university's newspaper, the
Daily Northwestern.
- tThe alumni are extremely rad
ical on the subject" the editorial
says. They call loudly for reduc-
tion of coed influence in campus
activities and denounce the effect
of the presence OF the coed on the
success of the athletic teams. More
than a little of the failure of the
teams this year, they assert, can be
blamed on Miss Northwestern.
Either the number of women on
the campus or their share in activi-
ties must be reduced. No other
school in the conference has such
a large proportion of women. If
the success of athletics is menaced,
as suggested, more material will
have to be attracted to allow for
Cupid's facilities, or the influence
of the coed automatically curtaiI-
ed by reduction in numbers. to
avert the trouble"

The company employs a force Of
from 25 to so men and mines it's
own clay on the property where the
factory is located.
The Argillo Works is the oldest
brick and tile company in the coun-
ty. In 1856, W. S. Thomas. a sci
enlist, began the manufacture of
pottery by hand, making expert
ments with the clay available in
that district. In 1865 the Argillo
Works, the same meaning white
clay, was organized by Mr. Thomas.
A. l.. Wait of Carbon Cliff, and
jeremiah Chamberlin of Rock Is
land, father of c. R. Chamberlir,
of this city.
A German architect was brought
to this country by Mr. Thomas to
plan the first kiln. The works be-
gan to increase its capacity, more
capital was secured, and the out
put grew. The mine and factory
changed hands several times, and
in 1899 was purchased by ]. f.
Robinson, Fred Titterington and
F. X. Rhoads. all of Rock Island.
This corporation has continued
has maintained an office in the
Robinson building in this city.
Some stock will be sold in this
city by the Tri-City Brick company
The organization of the company
may mean the removal to this city
of Mr.. Buckley and Mr.. Binyon.

Organization OF the Tri-City
Brick company is being perfected
today in Chicago for the purchase
of the Argillo Works, $150,000 cor
poration in Carbon Cliff which
manufactures farm drain tile and
hollow building tile.
The Tri-City Brick company,
which is just being organized, has
an option on the Argillo Works,
which it expects to close within a
few days. If the deal is complet-
ed, the brick company will take pos
session about the middle of March,
and after enlarging the plant will
begin the manufacture of brick.
The majority of the capital in the
brick company will be furnished by
outside people, but nearly half will
be local capital. Joseph L. Buckley
of Pittsburgh, Pa, is engineering
the new organization. Mrs. Mary
Robinson of Rock Island is prest-
dent of the Argillo Works, Fred Tit
terington of this city, secretary
and general manager, and F. *.
Rhoads, Rock Island, treasurer.
Several members of the Argillo
Works will be identified with the
Tri-City Brick company.
The Argillo Works owns 1S9
acres at Carbon Cliff and operates
nine kilns. The works will be in
creased so that the annual capacity
of the new concern will be 15,000,-
900 brick. c. F. Drury of Daven-

CHANCE FOR
FOREIGNER
TO Be POPE
Deadlock Is Seen; Ameri.
can Cardinals Atti-
tude Unknown.

Rome, Jan. 27.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. with the body of
late Pope Benedict laid away be-
meath the flagstones of ST. Peters,
the interest of the Sacred College
and the Vatican household turned
today to the election of his success
sor. A conclave has been called
for Feb. 2, to choose the new pom
tiff.
The question of a rapproache-
ment between the church and the
Italian government enters into the
election. A thorough canvass of
opinion in the vatican shows that
the peace party, or those advocat-
ing closer relations with the gov
ernment, are virtually deadlocked
with the irreconcilables, or those
opposing a rapproachement, in the
number of votes each faction can
muster. A twO-thirds majority is
necessary for election.
Nine Are "NeutraL"
Twenty-nine cardinals, headed
by Cardinal Gasparri, the Gamer
lengo or acting head of the church,
are known to favor continuance of
Benedict's policy, which was un-
derstoOd to have been directed to-
ward a resumption Of relations
with the Quirinal; 20 members CT
the Sacred college are thought to
be just as strongly opposed, while
nine are classified as neutral.
The attitude of the American car
dinals-O'ConnelI of Boston, anG
Dougherty of Philadelphia-is ur-
known at the vatican, but the opin-
ion is expressed that, unless a COM
promise is reached, never has there
been such an opportunity for for
eign cardinal 10 be elected pope
The majority enjoyed by the Ital-
ian members of the Sacred college
is so evenly divided that vatican
officials admit all depends on the
attitude OF the foreign cardinals.
Maffi Boom Declines.
The boom for Cardinal Maffi, arch
bishop of Piza, who was mentioned
as favored by the government, ap-
pears to be on the decline. while
Cardinal Gasparri and Cardinal
Arch Priest Merry del Val, respect
i've leaders of the peace party and
the irreconcilables, are acknowI-
edged by their supporters to have
little chance of being elected.
The choice Of the Gasparri party
is Cardinal Ratti of Milan, while
Merry del Walls faction, after vot-
ing for their leader on the first bal
lot as a test of strength, it is un-
derstood, will switch to Cardinal
laurent, the newest created mem
Der of the sacred college. Lau-
renti presided many years over the
Roman Catholic missions, and is
well known to all the foreign car
dinals.
Cardinal Van RoSsum of Holland
is most prominently mentioned as
a neutral candidate, should dead
lock be reached in the conclave.
He is 76 years old, and was raised
to the purple by Plus Y in 1911.
For the first time in history wom-
en- will be permitted to be present
in the quarters occupied by the
conclave. They are Sisters of Mer-
cy, who will preside over the des-
TIMES of the cardinals kitchen,
which heretofore have been super
vised by monks.

Washington, Jan. 27-The gov
ernment of the United States faces
the biggest deficit in the history if
the soldiers bonus bills soon to
be passed by congress are to be-
come law.
The determination of congress
sional leaders to pass the bonus is
expected in the face of White house
and treasury department opposition
so that only a presidential veto can
save the situation.
But the painful facts which are
now coming out in connection with
the bonus agitation is that the gov
ernment will have a deficit for 1922
and 1928 of approximately $780,
100000 whether there is a bonus or
not. All the hue and cry about
economy has only been of avail in
preventing the deficit from becom-
ing larger. but the truth is that the
congressman up for reelection next
fall will have to choose between
the number of votes expected to be
gained by passing a bonus bill and
the number of votes certain to be
lost through the protests of the
large army of taxpayers whose bur
dens will prove to be as irksome
as in years Immediately following
the war The relief from taxation
which it had been confidently hop
ed might come in the next two
years is vanishing into the air.
Mellon is Frank.
Treasury officials make no effort
to conceal the truth much as the
members of congress responsible
for the present financial situation
be inclined to gloss it over. So long
as there we're to be added taxes and
it was still possible to pare down
expenditures, the treasury held out
hope that the budgets for 1922 and
1928 might be balanced and the de-
ficits wiped out, but with a big bo-
nus bill staring the treasury in the
face, Secretary Mellon has come
/ out with a statement of the sitUa-
ton which is causing the more
thoughtful members of congress
much uneasiness.
For awhile-and when President
Harding recently submitted the
budget to congress-there was un-
certainty whether the deficits would
really materialize Mr.. HARDING
excused the estimated deficit by
saying that such a discrepancy is
unavoidable when authorizations OF
expenditures are being enacted dur
ing the process of budget closing
but ways are provided for relative
ly easy adjustments without added
taxation"
Now Secretary Mellon discloses
the fact that the budget estimates
for the year 1922 are substantially
correct" and while he knows con-
gress can avoid the deficits if il
wishes, he fatty declares $500, ,000,-
