MUCH SUFFERING
TRANSPORTATION
FRANCHISE
BY Edgar Wallace

A. f of L. Legislative Committee
The railroads of the country Sc
cured valuable franchises from the
federal government, state govern
ments and local governments. In ad-
dition most of the roads received val
liable subsidies, gifts of right of way,
gifts of vast acreages of land on each
side of the railroad and extending
miles back
The condition under which they re-
ceived franchises is that they furnish
adequate transportation facilities to
develop and to supply the country
through which they operate.
There are no conditions in the
franchises as to what circumstances
shall obtain in order that they may
furnish adequate transportation facil-
tiles. The country, the cities, the
towns, depend for their daily supply
of necessities upon the full rendition
of the services the railroads have
contracted to render in return for the
franchises and the subsidies that went
with the franchises.
The cities of the east and of the
north are suffering because of an in
adequate coal supply. The mines of
the country are competent and willing
to furnish sufficient supply Trans
portation has broken down. The rea-
son for the breakdown of transpor-
tation is the fact that disagreement
as to the terms of wages and condi-
tions of employment arose between
the managers of the railroads and the
men competent to keep the railroads
in efficient condition.

In Memory of

Mother of - just as were
Daughter and IL all the other
Was Showered clerks IN the
With Lingerie humson depart
ment store at five
minutes of ten this Christmas eve. But
there were still five minutes more In
which she must serve. There were
several shoppers pressing about her
counter handling and examining the
beautiful French embroidery of the
lingerie there. They swan before
Nellie's tired eyes almost dimly as in
a dream. Tired, aching feet can do
that to eyes, you know.
How trying they were, these cus-
tomersl How slow about coming to
decisions; how impossible their ques-
tons. How did Nellie know how this
or that garment would launder, or
wear? How could she know? Nellie
never in her whole life had possessed
a stitch of such costly stuff. And still
these crowding, high-voiced women ex-
pected her to prophesy the whole
future life of their purchases! They
were certainly better judges than she
of such things. They ought to know.
But there was one lady, a lady with
soft brown eyes, half smiling brown
eyes, who patiently stood and waited
her turn. Because of her patience in
that Christmas rush, she came last.
But if she had been patient in waiting
her turn, Nellie now had to be patient
in waiting on her. For although it
was already ten o'clock and time for
the counters to be draped for the
night, she took her time. Very care
fully she chose two whole sets of lin
ger1e. Every piece she examined
closely to make sure of the quality,
and the beauty of the design. Nellie
thought she would never be done. In
fact, Nellie found 1t hard, just as the
brown-eyed lady was lowering over
the choice of the last piece, not to
cry out at her, For Heavens sake.
make up your mindl Can't you see
I'm dropping?"
But of course Nellie cried out no
such thing. She just shut her young
lips together, and winked back child
ish tears of irritation and exhaustion.
"Ill take this one, them" the lady at
last said at two minutes past ten.
And then she looked up, smiling into
Nellie's eyes. "And will you take the
lot, dear child, as a Christmas present
from me? l had a little girl once,
something like you and your age.
Since it is Christmas you will not
deny me the happiness of giving you
this present in remembrance of her.
She loved pretty things just as yea do.

of Grangeville was a visitor wiq
friends in this city last Friday. He
had with him a half-grown badger
which, although born in its wild ele-
ment, has become as much at home
among human beings as a dog. The
animal was captured when it was not
much larger than a squirrel. Kind
ness has given it confidence in its
master and it follows him about day
or night, In the house or out. 1t knows
its name and will come when called,
and Is generally playful like a kitten
of pup. However, at night it prefers
to go outdoors, dig a hole in the
ground, and sleep in it But when
breakfast time comes he is right on
hand for his morning meal to be
served by his master. The animal
makes friends with other people read

to be vicious.

Many times a hostess is puzzled as to how much to prepare for her guests. Of course the sort of occasion enters into this very largely. For in- stance, q smaller portion of salad will be served with sandwiches at an af- ternoon tea than the same salad serv- ed with lettuce at luncheon.
 These calculations may help you:
 One quart of whipping cream will whip to serve 25 persons with one large spoonful. Whipped cream for chocolate would serve 90 cups. One-half pound cocoa will make 20 serving cups of chocolate. This will require about four quarts of milk. One quart of ice cream is calculated to serve from six to eight persons. A brick cuts ordinarily into six portions. but seven or eight can be made if served with cake.
 Sandwiches, made from sandwich loaf, 4S slices to a loaf These are cut in thirds and halves. One pound Of butter will spread 60 whole sand wiches. Three pints of filling will make 60 sandwiches.
 Weights and Measures
 One large layer cake is calculated to serve from 12 to 16 persons. If several kinds of cake are served the cakes should be cut in small DOT tions.
 One quart of salad serves six to eight persons, varying with the service 1 and occasion.
 Four pounds of chicken after stew ing make one quart Of salad.
 Three pounds fresh salmon are calculated to make salad for 25 per sons.
 Three one-pound cans of shrimps make salad for 25.
 One quart hot bouillon serves s persons.
 One pound of coffee serves 30 per- sons.
 Three pints Of chopped meat are calculated to make croquettes for 25 persons
 oYSTERS-By number for stew, four to a person; raw, four to six to & person. in cream sauce combined with mushrooms, 150 for 25; chopped in made dishes. two and one-half to three quarts with the liquor.
 Averages Only
 1t must be remembered that these arc rough estimates for the average occasion, They may serve to help you 10 compute the quantities needed for your own special needs.
 In planning for large dinner, if the cook calculates on the basis of her needs for her own family. she can arrive at a fair conclusion.
 In making over recipes be sure to keep the proportions the same, dou- bic every ingredient if you are mal<- ing twice the rule. In the matter or cakes it is better to make two ordi- nary ones than one extra large one. This is true Of any dish that requires a large amount of beating.
 In the case Of chaflng-dsh cook cry. two ehaflng dishes normally filled are preferable 10 one ovcrfiled.
 The length of time required to cook large quantities is increased to some extent but not in proportion to the increase in the rule. Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Incl.

HOME HEALTH AND ECONOMICS

Illinois. through its Home Eco. homie Association, has returned an- swers to an interesting questionnaire In it women were to put down their schedule Of work for each day of the week.
 The answers showed there is great CT sharing of work and play in the farm home than in the large town oi city. Hundreds of replies showed the great pleasure women received was in doing something for someone else forgetting self and self-pity, avoiding nervous tension and enjoying the great health restorer--restful sleep.
 About one-half Of the women had power-driven washing machines. Thir. ty-seyen per cent had no washers. ex. cept the women. The washing ma. chine is estimated to have eliminated a large number or dreary days from exercise at the back-bending tubs.
 No exact per cent Of physical gain could be given as the result of this auestionnaire, but indirectly the gain is marked and the increasing in life's span measures we'll up to the national average Of between 10 and ii years.
 The bathing facilities also show a decided increase. More country and farm people have bathrooms than city dweliers ever imagined.
 The direct gain in personal health by regular bathing is a great step in the elimination Of sickness and con- tagion. Absolute change in sleeping garments from those worn during the day was another sign Of great gains in health.

 I'll simply say that Jack does know that the pearls are real and that it was the simplest and most natural thing in the world for him to say that they were only beads be- cause, if he hadn't. every waiter in the room would have picked up some and put them in his pocket. That of course will be something he will understand. Then I'll demand the bead of him again or threaten him with arrest"
 My, Ruth, but you are clever! I would never have thought of that"
 Well. you see your mind is a Iit- tie cIouded over all this anyway. A disinterested party is always better judge of what to do in things of this kind.

 What are you going to do about it all?" asked Ruth in perplexity.
 My dear, I don't know. That is the reason I have told it all 10 you. l want your advice. It seems to me, Ruth, that the first thing to do is to settle with that man who, besides you and myself is the only one on this side of the water at least who knows anything about those pearls"

 Why of course I will. Didn't you give me fifteen hundred dollars of that pearl money? know you did, you generous girl. And you were carrying that around in your hand bag that day, weren't you? That was the roll of bills I saw. You are either the silliest or the most courageous woman l know"
 T guess I'm the silliest, Ruth, dear. What are you going to say to the man?"
 I'm simply going to tell him that he picked up that pearl in the hotel that night and if he doesn't give it up I'll have him arrested"
