HATTIE Is BETTER
AFTER FOUR QUART
TODDY Is PRESCRIBED

New York.-Hattie, the 45-year-old
lady elephant in Central park, is feel,
ing much better since Headkeeper Jim
Coyle gave her a wee nipple of Scotch
-four quarts, to be exact. The old
girl refused to get up for breakfast one
morning recently. Her illness caused
great disturbance at the zoo. until a
doctor went over her tummy with a
sledge hammer, tapping lightly for the
telltale sounds which mean various
things to doctor. "Tummyache is all"
said the veterinary. Get her on a
light diet-about six quarts of bran
mash. Then give her a little snifter Of
rum-not more than a gallon She'll
get well.2 Hattie was wobbly and a
little thick in speech for the next hour
or so. but she's recovering.

WOULD PUT TEETH IN BOARD
Administration VIII Attempt To Put
Teeth In The Railroad Labor
Board At Call Session

Washington.-The administration will
attempt to put teeth In the railroad
labor board before the new congress
is convened. But the attempt, although
It viii be accompanied by certain
amendments to the transportation act,
to make the board more attractive to
the railroad workers. is foredoomed
to failure.
One Of the proposed new features
is an anti-strike clause, which is In
tolerable to organized labor, and may
result in the abolition of the board
by the progressives in the new house
and senate, and finally result In govern
ment ownership of railroads.
Although some Of the presidents ad-
visers have pointed out this danger to
him. he has summoned Senator Cum
minis, chairman Of the interstate COM
merce committee, back from Iowa to
confer with him on new railroad leg;
islation. Cummins called at the white
house as soon as he arrived and ar
ranged for the conference.
Thus the whole controversy over the
Esch-C Cummins or transportation act is
to be reopened after a respite of eigh-
teen months. The fight will oeAter
upon amendments to the act which
will probably contain the following pro-
visions:
l. That the railroad labor board be
empowered to enforce its decisions
against the workers.
2. Tha the board be empowered to
enforce its decisions against the car
riers.
8. That the personnel of the board
be entirely representative Of the pub
lie. instead of its present personnel
three members respectively for the
public, the employees and the carriers.
4. That the board be made q divi
sion of the interstate commerce COM
mission, with headquarters In Wash
ington, instead of in Chicago, as at
present.
s. That the board recognize the
principle of the living wage as a just
and living wage. and determine the
amount of such wage.
6. That the consolidation plan, the
preparation of which is compulsory
under the transportation act, be put In
operation, if not In. its entirety, at least
that part of it which proposed to pool
all railroad equipment into one large
corporation.
