any one mine is not great enough any
one season of the year to make 1t
nrofitable for the railroads to estab-
fish direct connection IN most cases.
Coal Miner Benefited.
an the mining of coal, also, there
has been pronounced tendency oi
late to motorize all the processes OF
extraction and conveyance, evidenced
by the fact that products from ap-
proximately 1900 mines are being
hauled now in commercial vehicles. :,
B "Coal mines are usually located
some distance from the local freight
depot or such supply stores. They
required large quantities of supplies
such as shovels, picks, jackhammers,
drills, mine machinery, pipe, mine
nrops and timber as well as repairs
which are received in less than car
load shipments and must be trans
ported from the local station or store
to the mines. The 1000 coal mines
that do not have railway connections
should, regardless of tonnage, closely
investigate the motor truck as their
business is nothing more than trans
nortation problem and might be IN
creased by the use of motor trucks.
"With the passing of these great
stands of timber and the consequent
increase in the price OF lumber aoan'
doned mills are now finding 1t proilt,
able to gather isolated logs, scattered
over a radius of from 20 to ~ miles
by transporting them over the many
roads now established, and it Is here

position has developed and there is
little prospect that 1t win be report
ed out for action. Should this be
done it is probable that It would
command the requisite two-thirds
majority.
The proposal has the support Of
the progressive bloc" which Is eX-
pected to exert considerable power
during the next Congress. The Nom
bers Of this bloc have insisted thnt IL
the resolution could be adopted now
there would be time to have il pre-
scented and acted upon by the stats
legislatures now in session and thus,
IL ratified, it could be made effec-
tive in time to apply to the 1924
elections.
This proposed constitutional amend
ment is as follows.
THAT the terms Of the President
and vice president of the United
States elected after adoption Of this
amendment shall commence at noon
on the third Monday in January fol-
lowing their election. 81
THAT the terms Of senator's and
representatives elected after adoption
Of this amendment shall commence
at noon on the first Monday in Jan
uary following their election"
Such change would eliminate the
short session OF Congress, such as
that now in progress.

According to local motorcycle deal

A local Indian dealer, discussing

'SEXLESS SELLING HERE

New York, Feb. 24.-There's no
longer any sex in business.

of the desk is a petite blond with
rose in her hair or a lanky individual
with shrub on his lip and a stogie.

cessful insurance agent who recently
sold a record policy for $500, 600, has
made the discovery.

eight years ago." she says, things
were different. Then women were
rare in the field and when / started
out in the morning woth policy and
a pencil / was reasonably sure to
encounter two attitudes the man l
approached was either interested in
the novelty of being sold something
by a woman and was unusually
deferential or else be was actively hos
tile because women don't know any
thing about business
''Now-the business woman has
lost her novelty. Prove to man
that your proposition Is a good one
and he doesn't give thought to age,
sex or color. No longer can a wo-
man, Just because she is a woman,
expect to wheedle her way past the
office boy and take up a busy mans
time.
.But a woman, calling on a pros

treatment.
