SHORT, sNAPPY HISTORIES.

From the London Statesman.
Short histories of the world are be-
coming a menace. A new genre has
been discovered and flood of books
is the result.
Nor is it difficult to see why this
should be the case. To write the his
tory of England from 16S5-16S8 needs
years of research, considerable intel
lectual effort and mental discipline.
But to write the history of the world
is a very different matter All that
is needed is some half digested

From the Pullman News.
Remember the paper car wheel? It
is not so very long ago that they
were in active use in Pullman and
general railway operations, but to-
day they are only a memory. The
paper car wheel always Intrigued"
public interest. The travelling public
heard the term, was tickled by It,,
but could not understand how the
paper was applied or why 1t stood
the travails of the road. 1t seemed a
catchy idea.

pairing to evacuate it's building ad-

in the almost deserted plant are a
few piles of the paper centers that
once aStonished the railway world.
One of them has been secured for the
Pullman museum of relics, because
George NJ Pullman was a stockholder
in the Allen Company. and for many
years Pullman cars used it's prod
ucts, which, though more expensive,
were lighter.
The public's idea Of the paper
wheels superiority was that the
paper center would not be susceptible
to the expanding and contracting in
fluenceS of heat and cold. This was
a Misrepresentation as the real reason
was the deadening of sound under
passenger cars, particularly Pull
mans 1t was successful in this from
the time of its invention in 1875 by
r. N. Allen until the beginning of
the present century. It's usefulness
then expired because Of the tendency
toward heavier cars, the paper failing
to expand with the tire through the
friction caused by brake service. It
is estimated that brake service has
increased 100 per cent in the last
twenty years.
The method of manufacturing the
Allen wheel may prove of interest to
the younger generation of car build
ers, operators and riders. Common
strawboard paper was used, the sort
that butchers had years ago for
wrapping up their meat for Gus
toners. The first step was to paste
sixteen sheets together, press them
while wet and then to bake them
hard. Three sections, or forty eight
| sheets, were then pressed together
and dried in a kiln for thirty to
ninety. days. The final process was
to take four sections of y-eight
sheets. or 1872, and press them to-
gether. This was the block from
which the wheel was made and 1t was

Prof. Albert Spear Hitchcock of the
Department OF Agriculture and the
Smithsonian Institution, one of
Americas foremost explorers. is on
his way to the Pacific coast of South
America, where he will carry out this
summer one of the most extensive
explorations he has yet conducted.
The primary purpose will be to col
lect plants for the Department of

tain the cooperation of South Amer
lean colleges in forwarding botanical
discoveries to the United States
rather than to Europe. DR.. Hitchcock
plans to make the herbarium at
Smithsonian Institution head
quarters where the entire fora of the
three Americas will be represented.

DR.. Hitchcock plans to penetrate
some of the most inaccessible regions
of the Andean desert.

Ecuador and may arrive at Guayaquil
on June 15. He will make that city
his headquarters during his explora-

MOSCOW. June 2.-Gradually an ex-
ceedingly complicated labor bureaucracy
has been builded In Russia. Its direc-
tion was shared between the allRussia
council Of trade unions and a state de-
partment, the supreme council of ma
tionaI economy. This S.. c. y. E. was
the very apotheosis of bureaucracy. 1t
mapped out the land in sixty-eight divi-
sions. each with its subcouncil It divided
industries into groups, each with it's de-
partments and subdepartmerts and
sections of subdepartments; 1t had
checks and counterchecks. officials
innumerable. red tape galore. Econ
omiStS of the most select German
school, who had never done a days
work in a factory and could not direct
foreman's gang. drew up elaborate
systems for all industry.
Each factory was to draw it's raw
material from one department of state
and hand over its finished products to
another. Its workers were rationed and
given a small wage. a manager was
placed over them by a kind of mutual
a greement between S. G. N E. the A r.
C. T. O. and the workers themselves, but
his power was limited. Workers soviets
were responsible for the discipline and
workshop management. Expert mana
gers were brought back and paid Spe-
cial salaries. but they were advisers and
instructors. not controlling directors.
Production Declines.
On paper the system was wonderful.
| There was to be no waste, no overpros
duction. no rush times and no slumpS.
! The national needs were to be exactly
estimated by spectacled experts: produc-
tion was to be so graded as to meet the
demand. All the efficiency and none of
the private profits of Standard Oil or
United States Steel,
Unfortunately the system could not
overcome certain difficulties. 1t could
not procure raw supplies Beautiful
paper plans did not give adequate food
for the workers. The workers had at
badly off for food. clothing and housing
that many of them fled to the country.
Men had no incentive to work hard, be-
cause they received the same rations
whether they worked much or little.
And the sovietS at the head of the fac
tories soon found that the easiest thing
for the factory was to send in as low
estimates of capacity as it could and
produce as little as possible.
Defenders of the communal manage
ment blame all on the shortage OF
raw material; yet, when the system
came to an end there were vast sup
plies Of raw material untouched
Factory production fell incredibly. A
famous communist economist Larin
published elaborate statistics com
pairing production in 1913-14 with
that in 1920. The average decline in
production was four-fifths: in other
words. only one-fifth as much was

fore. In the iron and steel industries
