Car Shortage Expected to
Hamper Movement of Har-
vest in Southwest.
BY DOUGLAS G. TINSLEY,
International News Service.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 3.-The
Southwestern railroads will be re-
quired to supply $4,000 empty
freight cars between July 10 and Mo-
vember 10 for the movement Of the
1923 crops from the producing regions
to the consuming centers. Clyde M.
Reed, of Topeka, Kan, chairman of
the Kansas public utilities commits
sion. declared recently.
"Of this number 10000 will be
used for wheat and $4,000 for pota-
toes, hay, corn, and other crops"
Reed said. "These cars must be dis.
tributed within that four months Pc
riod so there will be equitable move
ment and distribution of the respec-
tive commodities.
"Our conditions out here regard
ing traffic and the need for Iempties
are different from other sections.
For instance, in northern Oklahoma.
Kansas and Nebraska, for every five
cars we load out we get back two
empties. This is because of the ship
ment of bulky products.
I'm the New England States for
every five cars loaded three come
out loaded with manufactured prod.
ucts. So you see this situation tends
to keep the flow of empties eastward
instead of to the West, where the
need is great for equipment Of this
nature.
THUS the Western railroads are
barely able to supply the daily car
demands made on them by Western
shippers. In the East some roads
have as high as $50 per cent of their
own cars on their own lines, while
the Western lines scarcely are able
to maintain an average of 80 per
cent. The result is serious car
shortage in this section"
Reed explained he was through
painting the gloomy side of Western
traffic conditions and subsequently
added that there was a bright side
in the matter.
"The railroads today are in better
condition than they have been Tor
some time" he said. They have
more power and equipment and, In
addition, have recovered in a great
measure from recent disturbances.
The roads also are functioning bet
ter than in recent years. They now
are moving a larger volume of traf-
fic than ever before at this time of
year. 1t is 4 per cent below the max
imum volume of 1922.
IT look for greater actual and rel
alive efficiency this year in the han
ding of traffic generally have
the assurance of the car service d.
vision of. the American Railway AS
ISOLATION that the Eastern lines now
will give preference in the moving
of empties westward bound for de-
livery to Western lines in st. Louis
and Chicago"

WISE JUDGE WON'T SAY
WHO IS BOSS OF HOME

NEW YORK, July 3.-Who II
the legal boss of the home?
That's what George Walwick, OF
High street, Yonkers, wants to
know. He appeared before Judge
Rosenwasser in Yonkers city court
to have the judge determine
whether Walwick or Mrs. Walwick
should rule in their household.
Walwick told the court that his
wife would not let him discipline
any of their seven children when
they were naughty. But Judge
Rosenwasser declined to rock the
nation by designating the boss. He
told Walwick that If two Of his
boys stay away from school, which
was one Of the matters complained
of, he should tell the chidren's
court about 1t.

MRS. BEDDOW. WRITES OF
 MOTOR TRIP TO PORT HENRY

MT. and Mrs c. P. Beddow left re- gently for Chicago, where they were met by their son. Noel. who took them by motor to his home In Port her friend, Mrs. Mabel F. Leake the following in regard to the trip:
 We reached Port Henry yesterday. Sunday. Had splendid trip, through the country from Chicago. where Noel met us, in his car. The weather was fine every minute. the scenery beyond description. The roads could hardly be better. We travelled through the Adirondacks. There were mountains and then the silVery lakes in the val legs, some 12 miles long. We came through Saratoga, Lake George and other well known summer resorts, beautiful and inviting. We drove lands. all in cultivation, and every farm named. One I recall. was named 'Damfino,' all written to- gether, but even at that, think I read between the lines, and I think the owner was right about it. While in the Adirondacks. old Hendrick Hendson came over and played game of 'nine-pins' with us. Port Henry is a quaint little place. never saw so many beautiful wild flowers growing as there are in these moun-
 aims; phlox. azelias, daisies, ager- atums and dozens of others of which do not know the names, but all beautiful. dream of lovely coloring. The -Redbreasts' up here look almost as large as our Alabama tur- keys. r' --- Y
 we will go, over to Canada in few days. being right near the border. l can stand on the porch and look out or the old fort; you know the battle was fought there between the English and the Colonials on the lake front of Noels home"
