RAILROADS AGING AN EARLY CRISIS,
 REPORT DECLARES
Fifteen Ailments From Which Carriers Are Said To Be
 Suffering Are Listed

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Railroads of the country are facing a crisis which may mean their success or fail- ure within the next few months, the national industrial conference board reports after special survey just completed.
 Listing 15 ailments from which the railroads now suffer, among which it names "repressive legislation by Congress" the boards report calls attention to the threats of hostile and more restrictive degislation' in the next Congress which 1t says would be "valamitous to the welfare of the roads"
 This part of the report Is in line with a recent letter, written by 5. Davis Warfield, president, to mem bers of the association of railway se- curity holders, yarning against legis- lation planned by progressives in Congress aimed at more strict regu- lation of the railroads.
 Nine immediate causes of ailment, named by the report are: Weakened plant and equipment following feder- al control, the depression of 1921; re- vival of traffic when the roads could not handle it; the shopmen's strike unservic ceable cars; the car shortage the lack of terminal and other faclh- . ties; the coal strike of last year, and practices of shippers which hamper good transportation serivce.
 More remote causes of ailment are listed as: Repressive legislation by Congress, deferred maintenance; m adeouate return of invested capital federal control during the war; the valuation work of the government and the workings of the transporta- tion act of 1920.
 The report finds that "the railroads have failed to sell themselves to the public, in the face of great eftorts which it yas hoped would result III a better understanding"

 ficult Housing Problem

MONTEYALLO, Ala, August 26- Special )--The enrolment at the Alabama Technical Institute and Col lege for Women is practically 100 per cent larger than a year ago at this time.

TURKEYs sAVE CoTToN

Lincoln county, Tenn, which is re- garded usually as outside of the cot ton belt, is raising more cotton than usual this year and when the infes- tation of the cotton worm came last week, the planters were not pre- pared for 1t and had no quick way of getting the poison they needed, ex- cept those who operate near the Madison county, Ala, border. But on the other hand, they raise large num- bers of turkeys. Reports from up there this week are to the effect that droves of turkeys swept through the cotton fields and ate every worm in sight, stuffing/ themselyes so full they could hardly walk and saving the cotton crop in numerous local ities.

WEDOWEE, Ala, August 26.- Special 1.-The scare over the de- struction of the cotton crop by cater pillars seems to be passing.

Heavy rains this week almost insure a good corn crop, very much better than last year. There has been two cases of poisoning from handling ar senic, those of Mrs. Josie Brumbelow, who was seriously affected, and Lem Wilson, who was slightly poisoned when he held open a sack which was being filled with arsenic,

 M. Poincare described the Ameri- can troops as "an army that still was small but which grew day by day and month by month and assumed Tor midable proportions; an army which in mass movement and on the march displayed certain inexperience, but whose leaders and soldiers were mag nificent in spirit and energy.
 Alliance Most Desirable
 To assure peace in the future said M. Poincare, how greatly desirable 1t would have been that the unlon' so close during the war, should dur ing peace have kept the character and force of an alliance"
 "The peace negotiations" he added. Justified France in believing that reparations and her future security were assured, but exericising its pre- rogatives, the American Senate did not ratify the work of it's President, and the United States, after giving Europe an unforgettable example of its nobility of soul and precious mill tary collaboration, judged that the hour had come to withdraw and no longer concern itself with affairs in which it was not directly interested.
 However much we regret this de- termination" NJ. Poincare continued, I've understand perfectly that 1t Is not directed against us and that If 1t deprives us of the official aid of the United States in enforcing the treaty, 1t ought not to alter the sentiments that unite our countries"

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The British government is planning an import tire tax from the United States, Harry s. Firestone said in statement issued here.
 With a grip on promotion of crude rubber and with a contemplated pro- gram to levy an import tax on the finished product, England places American manufacturers at a great disadvantage" Firestone said. He accredits the recent decline in rub Ter prices partly to fear among British rubber growers of arousing too strong public sentiment in the United States against the recent leg islation in England restricting pro duction and exportation from It's Far Eastern colonies.
