ONE CITY'S EXPERIENCE

For a good many years Saginaw,
Mich, a city of some $4,000 peo-
pie, had a satisfactory street car
system. Then jitneys were per-
mitted to compete and the railway
company, deprived of the paying
part of its business, found it impos-
sible to exist on a six cent fare. The
city refused to allow it a higher
one and in August of 1921, the
Company stopped operation. For
Nearly Two Years
the jitneys had everything their
own way. They supplied all the
service that Saginaw had with no
competition from any other form
of transportation.
Here Was a Chance
for jitneys to prove themselves. The
city was not large, the entire field
was theirs, and the people were
friendly. If, as claimed, jitneys
can supplant street cars, there could
have been no better opportunity to
demonstrate it. But they
Didn't Make Good!
The citizens of Saginaw have de-
cided that-for at an election held
a few days ago the vote was three
to one in favor of the return of the
trolley cars under a franchise
which permits a ten cent cash fare
with four tickets for twenty-five
cents.
The Truth Is
that the motor bus has its place as
an auxiliary, but that it can't make
good under the burden of furnish

LOVE TRIANGLE TREATED

Unfaithful Ones Are Stoned to

Mrs Rosita Forbes, writer and ex-
plorer back from the East, told how
the Arabs handle the marriage and
divorce problem which is causing so
much concern among the western ma
lions.
1.-THE people themselves" she said,
have a peculiar punishment for mis-
conduct which usually acts as de-
terrent for husbands and wives who
would otherwise err.

faithful, the two guilty persons are
taken to a public square and buried
up to their armpits in sand Then
their companions stone them to death,
showering curses on them for being
unclean. Obviously, promiscuous love
meets with little encouragement.
The divorce law of Arabia, the
writer explained, makes 1t necessary
for the wife to watch her steps
through the sand
When man can divorce his wife
by simply clapping his hands and re-
peating three times, Il divorce you"

Forbes declared.

UNITED STATES FOREIGN TRADE

double the export excess in the IL.
years preceding the war is due
says the Trade Record, to the fact
that our favorable trade balance,
as the excess of exports is some
times called, only began in the
closing quarter of the nineteenth
century when the producing and
exporting power of the Mississippi
Valley was developed by the ex-
tension of plentiful transportation
facilities to that area. Prior to
1875 imports usually exceeded ex-
ports, but with the increase in
transportation facilities and deve1-
opment of production in the in
terror of the. country exports
began in 1876 to exceed imports
and have 80 continued to the pres
ent time. In the IS years from
1889 to the end of 1875 there were
only Is occasions in which ex-
ports equalled or exceeded i'm
ports. In the 48 years since 1875
there have been but three occa-
sions in which exports failed to
exceed imports. In 1876 the excess
of exports was 100000, in 1880
$168, 100000, in 1900 $544,O00OOO, in
1914 $471 ,0O0,0 900, jumping, with the
