 SIS Weekly Is Method Used

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 24-The more systematically and scientifical- ly you investigate the present econo- mic and industrial institutions of this country the more you are convinced that many of these institutions are non Christian, some un-Christian and few are anti Christian, Dr. M. F. Burns of New York City told the Sixth annual meeting of the Council of Cities of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 "As nearly as we can discover through government statistics" said Dr. Burns, "thirty-two millions of our people are on incomes of S2OOO or less per year, twenty mil lions are on incomes of $500 or less per year; fifteen millions are on incomes of 5000 or less per year; ten millions are on incomes or 5000 or less per year; practically ten million others are without in- come while only five millions of all the income producers of America en- joy incomes over $2OOO per year.
 "Just after the great world war had started, I sat at lunch with a fine Christian gentleman. He said: Doc tor, ] have made a net profit during the last twelve months of practically $5,OOO,OOO'
 'T replied:
 " How many folks do you em- ploy?'
 " About 15,OOO.'
 'Who are they?'
 Women and girls
 " How much do you pay them?'
 " From $8 to $15 per week.
 MT. Blank, do you think a wo- man or girl can live virtuousIy, dress as she must to meet your clientele, eat such food as she should on from $8 to S15 per week?'
 He replied: Doctor, I am not concerned as to that item; am living we'll within the business ethics Which the church has builded up dur ing the last two thousand vears.'

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 24- The early standardization of the Tan ana Valley railroad from Nenana to Fairbanks, which will be accomplish ed in the spring, recalls the days when the "dinkey" road, soon to become the connecting link in the standard guage system, was the only railroad in central northern Alaska.
 The Tanana Valley road holds 9 place in railroad history as the in spiration for some of the best rail roading stories ever written. When the late Franklin K. Lane was sec retary of the interior, the Panama Valley railroad was thorn in the side of the interstate commerce com mission. Whatever regulations the commission made could apply to ev- cry railroad in America except the Tanana Valley, because the latter could boast little that gave it the semblance of properly constituted public utility.
 There was regulation calling for carrying powder ten cars behind the engine. For violation of this rule, a pack sack. full of dynamite on the two passenger coaches, the roads fines amounted to approximately $2, OOO,OOO.
 The United States marshal was ap- pealed to to enforce the regulations, but when marshal after marshal had to be sent outside with an escort due to mental alteration attendant upon trying to solve the problem, the mat ter finally was passed up to Editor Thompson of the Fairbanks News Miner. Thompson and Secretary Lane had been old-time typesetters down in the Okanogan of Canada, so Thompson wrote Lane and informed him that the ten-car regulation might be fraught with serious consequences.
 Thompson pointed out that the road possessed only six coaches and box cars combined. He said to hook carload of powder on a four-car length of cable and tow 1t behind was an undertaking at which even a boom CT railroader baked. Suppose, MT. Thompson asked, someone forgot to set the brakes going down hill and the carload of dynamite bumped the string ahead? The entire assets of the railroad, including many of it's regular patrons, would travel to king dom come, Thompson declared.

YALE Comment

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. TO-
The Yale News is an editorial
comments, as follows on the
report from Cambridge that Har.
ward would rather defeat Princeton
than Yale this autumn at football:
AT last the naked truth is out.
Harvard would rather beat Prince
ton than Yale. Long abstinence
from a victory over Nassau has
given the Crimson an anti-Tiger
outlook which overbalances the
old desire to win the last game OF
the season. Here at New Haven
there is a strong feeling in favor
Of beating both Harvard and Prince
ton, but it is "a paradox that
may comfort our Northern neighbor
while 1t mocks that Yale would
rather beat the former than the
latter.
When the season is over this
frank statement OF the Crimson may
seem good joke. a new application
OF the theory of sour grapes. Az
matters stand now, the university
should win and the university be-
lieves it will. Coach Jones has de-
veloped a great team, proficient in
attack and defense, team capable
of coming back strongly. But there
have been strong teams in other
