THE LEGION VS.. sYNDlcALlsM.

The American Legion, a pa.
triotic order of ex service men,
is combating the l. w. w. by
every means it is lawfully possi-
BILE to employ.
The proposed general strike
in the lumber industry, that is
to paralyze logging camps and
sawmills on May l. will be car.
ried out by the Wobblies if pres.
ent plans mature.
The American Legion, com.
posed of men who served in the
world war and leaders who we're
over seas, stands for American
industries and peaceful solution
of labor problems.
It is opposed to syndicalism,
to sabotage, to picketing and
force methods-in fact to every.
thing the I. w. w. believe in
and advocate.
The Legion was organized to
preserve law and order, the [.
w. w. to destroy and tear down
by organizing corrupt and dis
loyal elements.
Many remember the crimes
committed by the Syndicalists
in the lum Der manufacturing city
of Centralia, where the Ameri
can Legion organized to prevent
rioting and destruction of indus
tries.
Can any sane American give a
single reason for disturbing the
prosperous conditions now pre-
vailing in the lumber industry
to crafty the ambitions of the
Wobblies to establish reign ol
terrorism?

ATTENTION WESTERN SHIPPERS

Western shippers are urged by
the Southern Pacific Compa
to load freigt cars promptly and
to capacity and so avoid the de-
structive effects of car short
age.
G.. w. Luce, Freight Traffic
Manager for the Company, said
recently that as result of the
recent rains there is every indi
cation of bumper crops this
summer and fall, and that the
railroad facilities Of the country
will be taxed to handle the ex.
traordinarily heavy tratfice that
is expected.
In the last nine months the
railroads have handled the great
est volume of traffic ever trans
ported in the history of the
country during any correspond
ing PERIOD" said Luce. Traffic
in 1923 up to the first of April,
has reached new high level.
If traffic oyer the country con.
tinues to Increase as it has, it
can be handled only by the most
rigid economy in the use of cars.
The West, with its heavy ton
mage to move across the CONT
nent to eastern markets, has no
transportation to waste.
''The Southern Pacific Com
pany has spent many millions of
dollars since last season for new
freight cars, practically refriger-
ators, and for modern locomo
tives of the most powerful type.
But with unprecedented traffic,
chiefly in products that run
sharply into peak shipments, in
prospect, it is evident that only
the closest CO operation of ship
pers with the railroads can avert
a car shortage with consequent
loss to both.

ASSIST MANUFACTURERS

Due to the growth of the elec-
trical industry west of the Rock.
les with the extension of re
search and invention and manu-
facture of electrical appliances,
devices, and materials in this
territory, the Underwriters La
boratories is to establish branch
laboratory in San Francisco sim.
liar to the ones in Chicago and
New York.
This will save western manu-
facturers and inventors much
time, trouble and expense by en-
abling them to have their de.
vices tested close at home. Also
it will familiarize western manu-
facturers with the advantage of
having their devices tested by
experts as to their fire proof or
fire resisting qualities. Once
any device has been approved
by the laboratories the public
has a guaratee as to its safety.
In addition to testing devices
the laboratory co.operates with
manufacturers, through a re
search department, in showing
them the best materials that can
be used in their products to
make them fire proof.
All OF this work is done either
free or at actual cost and is part
of the activity of the insurance
industry to reduce the terrific
fire loss that this nation suffers
annually.

SECRET OF REMAINING YOUNG
Method Of Postponing Old Age Lies
In Observing Moderation In Eating
Sleeping and Everything You Do.

Old age Is as inevitable ay death and
taxes. But the term "old age" ls
elastic; some persons are old at fifty
years; some are young mt eighty. A
witty Frenchman said once that man
is as old as his arteries, which is
partly true, since the condition OF the
arteries Is pretty fair condition OF
the state Of the other tissues and or
gans
Many physicians believe that the de-
generative changes that are character
istic of old age begin In the arteries
and appear later in the other tissues
as consequence of the diminished sup
ply of blood and Of impure blood. One
theory is that the arterial thickening
and hardening invariably found In the
aged (the aged as measured by dbnln-
ished function and not by years) are
owing to auto-intoxlcation acting
through many years; the poisoDs In
the blood cause degenerative changes
in the walls of the arteries. Another
theory Is that senility depends ON
changes In the cells and tissues caused
by principle In them that leads b..
early life to growth and In later life
to decay.
But whatever the theories, and there
are many Of them, they all lead to the
same conclusion; depending In the csse
Of another on the mode of life he has
followed, the period ut which old age
begins varies within the wide limda,
and. barring an inexorable inheritance.
the individual can do, much to post
pone 1t. Unfortunately, the time to be-
gin Is early adult life, just when cid
age seems so remote as to be nag-
ligible.
The secret Of postponing old age lies
in observing temperance in the broad
sense of the word-moderatio In
everything; In eating, In coffee drint-
ing and tea drinking, in sleeping, In
exercising, In working and indeed in
every phase of human existence. Ati-.
letes are not long-llved; neither arc
those who are too strenuous In buss-
ness. nor those who worry. The obese
are usually short-llved for the reason
that they are likely to be heavy eaters
or to have defective nutritive orgnnA
Breathing fresh air day and night and
walking moderately without missing q
day are essential to long life, as they
are essential to health.-Youth's Com
panion.

Railroad to Tunnel Continental Divide

The actual saving to the Denver and
Salt Lake railroad will be the tortuous
climb of % miles over the crest of
the Continental Divide, where the Moi
fat road now crosses the divide above
timberline at an elevation of 10000
feet.
On the Denver ard Rio Grandef the
distance to Salt Lake City will be
shortened by 173 miles through build
ing the cutoff to connect with the tun-
mel.
The tunnel will be GOA miles long.
The project consists of main tun-
mel 20 by 10 feet In the clear and q
pioneer tunnel paralleling it. Trains
through the tunnel will be operated
by electricity. Provision has been
made so that automobile and other
traffic may pass through the tunnel
in special cars. The tunnel elevation
at the east portal is 9,100 feet, at the
west 9,100 feet.
The tunnel will eliminate the climb
from Tolland, whose altitude is about
1000 feet, to Corona. This climb has
given many q thrill to eastern tour
lists. The grade above Tolland Is 4
per cent-almost unprecedented in rail-
road grades-and there are many
curves as the train mounts upward.
1t is a land of perpetual snow.
Nature said to the railroads ap-
preaching Denver: "No road through
the Rockies here. Go round !" So
they went around, by way of Cheyenne
and Sante Fe. The Moffat road tried
to go over. Now it's going through.
