What is biggest question?

In considering many conflicting
claims and statements, one fact will
guide you. No oil burner can give
permanent satisfaction, permanent
comfort, unless it is permanently
efficient. How are you to know!
Ask and determine the truthful
answer to this one question:
is it, mechanically, SO efficient

Unregulated canal competition has al
ready taken from the Middle West much
business. which can be reganed by this terri
tory only if the railroads are allowed to
make rates to compete with the canal.
The Central States and their railroads
have enjoyed share in this Pacific Coast
business from the beginning of the operation
of transcontinental lines, and this tonnage
was large factor justifying their being built.
Under the present law the Interstate Com
merce Commission is authorized to permit
the railroads to equalize canal rates, and ap
plication for this is pending. Until 1918 the
railroads had this permission. Then, due to
the war, canal competition ceased and the
Commission Withdrew the permission. Now
the ships are back in greater numbers than
ever and have taken practically all COMPETE
tive traffic, while the railroads have lacked
the permission to equalize rates.
The Gooding bill. which has passed the
Senate and is being considered by the House.
would withdraw from the Interstate Com
nerce Commission authority to grant any
such permission. 1t will not help intermoun-
tain states, because steamship rates between
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts will continue
lower than those of the railroads; and it will
not add to the Coast competition of inter-
mountain distributors for the railroads to
handle a part of the business.
This westbound business on which the
railroads desire to compete comprises highly
manufactured articles moving in great vol
u1ne, made both in the Atlantic States and
in the Central and Middle Western States
and sold on the Pacific Coast. 1t now moves

largely via the canal. The Atlantic Sea-
board pays only the low canal rates. The
Middle West producer must pay either the
additional rail charge to the Atlantic Coast
or the charge for direct shipment by rail. If
the railroads are allowed to compete, not
only will the Middle West producer be en-
abled to compete on more even terms (Which
of itself will promote the development of the
Central States). but also the railroads will
be able to fill out their trains better, to de-
velop their facilities, employ more men and
purchase more supplies-all to the advan-
tage of this great Western territory.
The Western railroads feel that the Good
ing bill would deprive them of needed bust
ness without doing anybody any good, ex-
cept owners of steamship lines operating
through the canal; also that it would take
away traffic in which they have participated
under the Interstate Commerce Commissions
authority since its creation in 1887. 1t seems
most unfair to change the law at this time,
in view of all these conditions.

LONDON, January pa quaint
little house in central London
known to thousands of American
visitors as the reputed original OF
Dickens "Old Curiosity Shop" was
endangered by fire last evening.
The house is at present un-
tenanted and workmen are repair
ing 1t. Apparently they left fire
burning and rubbish on the floor
became ignited. Smoke poured
through the windows, but it was
seen so promptly that firemen were
able to quench the flames before
much damage had been done.
Although there is considerable
evidence against the tradition that
the picturesque building was the
original home OF Little Nell, Lon
doners like to believe the legend
painted on the front of the house
affirming its identity, and its de-
struction would cause widespread
regret.

Comedy relief, scattered through

the last thrill from it.

has been seen in pictures before

best remembered as striking.
blond beauty, one time wife and
vaudeville partner of Jack Nor
worth and later seen in musical
comedies. AS the Goose Won-
an" she plays the role Of a once
famous opera singer who has lost
her voice and gradually sunk to
a degrading depth of drunken
slovehess.
The story develops into a
murder mystery which is logical
and interesting with touches Of
humOr. Thirsting to again taste
the joys of publicity, the Goose
Woman tells a false story and
with the help of the police, stages
a comeback. But unknOwinpIv
she involves her son in the muir
der. However, all comes out as
it should. Miss Dresser gives
marvellous performance and
proves herself an actress of gen
uine ability. Then there is the
hand of the director to be con.
sidered. 1t is very noticeable in
this picture and very fine. MANY
excellent touches are inserted
Featured with Miss Dresser
are Jack PickfOrd, who does good
work as the son, and Constance
