ROLLER BEARINGS
ON SWEDISH TRAINS

e Stockholm.-The use in Sweden
of roller bearings for the wheels
of railroad cars, passenger and
freight, has been inaugurated by
the issuance of definite orders. to
the State railways. What promises
to be boon to railroads and trav-
elers the world over, and the pos
sfble development Of manufacture
ing industry Of large proportions,
is foreseen.
The system of roller bearings as
now perfected is the result of
years OF experiment and research
in Sweden and elsewhere. The So
luton Of the problem has been
FASTENED because Of the growing
need of finding some way to re-
duce the expense Of railroad oper-
alton. A saving Of about Is percent
in coal, together with. a reduction
Of personnel and q conservation of
equipment, will become feasible hx
the installation Of roller bearings.
Travellers will benefit because the
elimination of friction means more
smoothness and less noise in the
running OF trains. It is thought
also that passenger and freight
rates may be lowered as a result
| of the new economy in operation.
The new bearings are barrel
shaped and roll freely between the
shaft and the runway, thus being a
cross between ball bearings and
the old-fashioned roller bearings.
The Swedish company which
manufactures these bearings re-
Dports that the Pennsylvania rail-
road has been making experiments
for ssne time with q view to their
adoption.

Cambridge, Nov. 1S.-Practics IN
basketball with the Cambridge high
school and the American Legion
teams is in full swing. The first
game Of the season will be Nov. -
between the Legionnaires and Al
tona. The first public appearance
Of the high school team will be
Nov. 30 with the local Legion team.
The school squad consists Of Is
men, OF whom seven are followers
from last year. 1t Is customary to
cutthe squad to II men when the
season opens, SO competition is
very keen. The new recruits look
very promising. especially Ander-
son, Seaton and STEERS. With Cap
tain McLeese, Otto, Huston, Mum
son, Rishel and Herb, the hold
overs, all playing hard. there is
great hopes Of winning team In
the high school.
In the semi-professional class of
basketball, the Legion team is
known far and wide. In the last
two years they have played IS
games, winning 40 and losing but
five. They have met and defeated
practically all the teams of any
note of the three cities, and in adj
dition they defeated the globe-trot-
tiers of Oswego, N. Y, the Comets
Of Peoria, Muscatine, the L. & R
of Peoria, and others too numerous
to mention. Last season they lost
to the Comets by one point and Ia
ter in the season they gave the
Comets a decided beating. The
only other game they lost last year
was a 10-minute overtime affair
with Onargo at the state tourna-
ment held at Springfield, and that
by one point, Onargo winning the
state championship.
The team will keenly feel the
loss Of that boiling center, Charles
Anderson, who is attending the
state university; but with his loss
they will have added the services
Of Nord, the all-star forward, and
captain in the high school tourna-
ment for two years. Nord is stat
at forward and a bear-cat at cen.
ter. Otherwise, when the whistle
blows a week from next Monday
night, the same old gang will be
there.

High Light Achievements
OF the Republican
Administration
Debt and Expenses Slashed, Liberty
Bonds at Par Unemployed at Work.
Peace Promoted, Budget Estab-
lished, Prosperity Revived.
JOHN t. ADAMS, CHAIRMAN REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Sixteen months ago the Republican
Party took over the management OF
the largest business concern in the
world. It found the organization OF
this concern utterly demoralZed as 8
result Of eight years of riotous waste,
gross mismanagement and class leg
islation. There was a bonded indebt-
edness of $23, 997 ,000,0 O0 Government
bonds were selling at So cents on the
dollar. There were outstanding loans
10 foreign countries Of 81, 900, 200, 600,
for which there was no written evil
dence Of Indebtedness, much less any
business or legal agreement as to how
and when the loans and interest were
to be paid. The discount rate at Fed
eral Reserve Banks was rs per cent.
for gilt edge loans. Five million wage
earners were in idleness. Farmers
faced bankruptcy. Hard times pre-
vailed. Business lived from hand to
mouth. Everything needed readiust-
ment and reconstruction Such. in a
broad way, were the conditions pre-
vailing when this administration took
control of the country and the present
Republican Congress was called into
special session.
Today we have a President whose
wise, business-like. contructive poll
cies have won the confidence and af-
lection of the American people. He
has surrounded himself with a cab
met composed Of men endowed with
common sense, especially qualified for
the work of their departments and
devoted to the promotion Of public
welfare. AS soon as the administra-
ton assumed control it called into
special session the Republican Con
gross to assist it in strengthening out
the situation. Since then the execu,
tive and the legislative branches of
the government, both under Repub-
lican control, have worked together.
As a result of their joint effort there
has been within the last Is months a
marvellous transformation The bond
ed Indebtedness has been reduced BY
$1,014000, 900. Today every issue Of
Liberty and Victory Bonds is selling
at par or above, representing an in
crease Of $3,000,000,000 in the value
of government securities in Is months,

has been reduced until it is now As
per cent.
The last year of Wilson's admin
lstratlon the actual cost of running
the government was S5,53S, 900, 600. The
actual cost Of running the government
for the fiscal year just ended June
80 was 1875, 100000 This is an an
nual saving of $1,743, 100000 which the
Republican administration has made
IN the routine expenditures of the gov
eminent. This was possible because
the Republican Congress early in its
special session re-enacted a budget law
which the previous Republican Con-
8ress had passed only to have a Dem
ocratic President veto it. 1t was east
ly the most important piece of bust
ness legislation which has been en-
acted within this generation. After
its enactment it was sensibly applied
! by the executive officers of the Re
publican administration.
The work of Congress, the wise adj
ministratiye policies and the introduc-
ton of business methods by the de-
partments in the conduct of public
affairs have all combined to revive in
dividual and corporate enterprise, so
that today, in contrast to a year ago,
I unemployment has ceased to be
factor outside Of those industries in
which there are strikes. Agriculture
is on it's feet Business is improving
each day. Industrial output is increas-
ing. Capital is going back to work in
the channels Of private and profitable
enterprise. 1t really makes some diff
ference at the end Of a year whether
the government has been controlled by
an administration and Congress that
are generally right in contrast to an
administration and Congress that were
generally wrong.
The Republican party will go before
the country this fall without any apcl-
ogy for this record. 1t is a record
Which needs no defense. The people
are not going to stop the magnificent
work so we'll begun. They are not
going to retreat to the conditions
which prevailed prior to March, 1921.
They are not going to return the Dem
ocratic party to power and thereby re
store the evil conditions which have
been so largely corrected in the past
16 months Of Republican control OF
the executive and legislative branches
