Mr.. sCANDRETT STEPS UP.

Years ago American poet sat himself down
and wrote the following lines:
"'The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight:
But they while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night
H. A. Scandrett, recently promoted to vice
presidency Of the Union Pacific system, did not
reach that high position by sudden fight or favort-
ism. He earned the promotion by digent and ef-
icient service, performing faithfully and we'll each
duty falling upon his shoulders he toiled upward.
Nearly quarter of century ago Mr.. Scandrett
began service with the Union Pacific clerk in
the claim department. His rise has been steady but
not spectacular. From claim department he went to
the legal department, and later became assistant
Interstate commerce attorney of the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific. During the greater part of the
World War he was assistant director of traffic. At
the close of the war he returned to the Union Pacific
as valuation and commerce counsel. His experience
and his ability combine to make him a valuable man,
and this combination is recognized by his superior
officers In the creation OF special vice presidency
that clothes him with greater powers and RESPONSE
bilities.
II was not luck. 1t not sitting around whin-
ing about having no chance. 1t pluck backed
by industry and intense application Mr.. Scandrett
studied his job, loved it and gave it his best That
is the simple explanation of his repeated promotions.
It also explains why those promotions have for
him the congratulations Of his fellows.
Concealed in the life story of II. A. Scandrett is
4 moral that host of young fellows in these parts
would do we'll to search out and study.

BY THOMAS j. FITZMORRis,
Secretary Nebraska League Of Savings and
Loan Associations.

During the legislative fight on the senate revision
OF the Intangible tax and the subsequent amend
rnents made by the conference committee, which
whipped the into shape for enactment With his
emergency clause misunderstandngs as TO the
scope of the law and It's effect upon ntangbles cass
fed for taxation. News reports from Lincoln stated
that building savings and loan association shares We're
for taxation with bank stock Another report
represented that under tho provisions OF the bill rs
adopted building and loan stocks are exempt, While
banks will be taxed 70 per cent of the capital EN-,
ployed."
A summary of the amended law In force, made
from an engrossed copy dsposes of the re-
ports and makes for a better understanding of the
provisions.
The difference between the old and amended intangi-
le law takes four forms: Division of ntangbles into
two classes; applying different rate of taxation to
each class; the stock and the addition OF
searching penalties for evasion.

Easter
By WILL N. MAUPlN.

Each bursting bud on vine or tree,
The op'ning flowers that bend and sway.
Incline our hearts, dear Lord to Thee
This glorious resurrection day.
Released from the mprisoning grave
The Christ arose, mankind to save.
The broken bonds Of seed long sown
Release new life to bless mankind.
Thy broken bonds, and Thine alone,
Can put the fear Of death behind.
Thy open tomb brought mans release
From lasting death; gave perfect peace.
When bursting buds Of lilies bloom
To spread their incense Ger the lea.
We turn away from doubt and gloom
To walk and talk again with Thee.
The stone the angel rolled away
First marked Thy resurrection day
Bring hither the choicest flowers Of spring
Released from winters deathly chill.
In praise let anthems loudly ring
Thy praise, the vaulted skies to FILL
For Him who gave His life to save
The world, is risen from the grave.

Motorists AdUised
To Use Ne,U Road
North of EIktOn
Saving of a Mile to WiI-
n1ington Is Made by
Latest Route.

Motorists travelling north from Bal
timore should use the newly opened
road north of Elkton instead of the
old road through Newark, Del, ac-
cording to recommendations of Mary
land State roads officials. In addition
to saving about a mile in distance,
much heavy traffic can be avoided, 1t
is said.
The old road, which turns TO the left
at Elkton, leads through Newark,
Marshallton and other Delaware COM
munities, where heavy traffic is en-
countered.
The new thoroughfare is reached by
turning right near the northern eX-
tremity of Elkton and leads through
Glasgow, Del, connecting with the
Du Pont highway to Wilmington. 1t
passes through no large towns until
the outskirts of Wilmington are
reached.
This road, it is explained. connects
directly with the Philadelphia pike
from Wilmington. The distance from
Elkton to Wilmington is 16 miles by
the newer route, which is in better
condition.

|NEW SPEED LIMIT
| TO HELP SUBURBS
viii Aid Natural Growth of
City, Auto Dealers
Assert.

Speeding up traffic on the outlying
arteries of travel will enable Wash
ingtonians to live farther out In the
suburbs, thereby coming closer to the
ideal combination of country and city
life. This is the observation of mem
bers of the traffic committee of the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation, who view the establishment of
27-mile limit on the so-called arterial
highways as a distinct forward step in
handling the local traffic problem.
Establishment of speed zones where
speed may be exercised with safety
is considered by the automobile deal
ers as means of relieving congestion
in the crowded downtown districts.
The enforcement of the full-stol law
on side streets intersecting the ar
terial highways. it is pointed out. will
minimize the possibility of accidents
in the higher speed zones.
Explains Congestion.
"Slow traffic makes congestion. -
said Paul B. Lum, president OF the w.
A. T. A, in commenting on the es-
| tablishment of the 27-mile limit by the
director of traffic. Where vehicles
are moving rapidly and in an orderly
well controlled manner, there is little
complaint about traffic. Traffic au-
thorities are coming to recognize that
congestion in the city is not due TO
the excessive number of motor vehi-
cles, but to their slow movement.
THE higher speed zones will lessen
the time required to travel to and
from the business sections of the city,
and will be reflected to the advantage
of downtown business as we'll as in
the development of the outlying dis
tricts as residential sections. Modern
civilization measures distance in terms
of time. 1t isn't a question of how
many miles one lives from town, but
how much time is consumed in travel
ing the distance.
|. Tests Show Value.
"Other cities have found the higher
speed zones on arterial highways of
practical value not only in relieving
congestion, but also in developing their
outlying and suburban sections"
Mr.. Lum pointed out that when the
present traffic law was before Con
gress, the Washington Automotive
Trade Association communicated with
members Of the Senate and House
District committee, explaining the ad
yantages Of higher speeds on arterial
highways
In the absence of subway or other
rapid transit service from downtown
Washington to outlying neighbor-
hoods, the dealers explain the ar
terial highway with higher speeds is
necessity if the community is to
grow normally and at the same time
keep down the number Of traffic ia.

makes the Island of Cape Breton
unique in geography. For 450 square
miles the blue waters of the Bras
dor, encircled by wooded hills and
dazzling plaster cliffs, spread in count
less bays and channels through the
heart of the island, and its interior
coast line of nearly a thousand miles
borders all four counties. This is
where all yachtsmen want to go when
they die.
The Bras dor highway, and the
many good intercounty earth roads
out of Baddeck make this lake region

hR. BELTZHoovER LEAVING
FOR FLORIDA.

Mr.. Geo. NJ. Reltzhoover. Jr.. re-
turned last week from a two months
stay in Florida, and has announced
hrs decision Co move to West Palm
Beach, IN that State, where he will
continue the practice of his profess
sion. Mr. Beltzhoover was admitted
TO the Bar here in 1901, and during
the past 25 years has by his energy
and ability won foremost place at
the local bar and throughout this
section of the State. In the general
practice of the law, civil. chancerv
and criminal. Mr.. Beltzhoover has
been successful: and his forensic abil-
itv and fidelity to his clients has
merited the confidence and high posi-
tion he has attained. He has par
ticipated in the leading cases at the
Bar during the past 90 years.
Apart from Mr.. Beltzhoover's
thorough education and training, he
has no doubt inherited legal talent 49,
his father being the Nestor of the
Jefferson county Bar. and his uncle,
Hon. f. K. Beltzhoover, Nestor of
the Carlisle. Pa. Bar, both being
lawyers of recognized ability and
highest standing
Mr.. Beltzhoover recently passed
the Florida State Bar examination.
and was one of zoo successful out of
479 applicants. His departure is a
distinct loss to the legal profession
in this section of the State, and we
very much regret to lose from our
county man who is not only a good
lawyer but a useful citizen. We
wish him a continuance of his sue
cessful career in West Palm Beach.
and believe he will achieve more
notable success at the Florida Bar.

w. VA. FIRE LOSS REDUCED In
NOVEMBER

Charleston. Dec. 19.-Novembe
registered another very material re-
duction in fire waste for West Vir-
ginia. The total loss for that
month. as shown by report of the
State Fire Marshall department, was
s226,S50, a decrease of So per cent
from the same month in 1924. There
has been a big drop in fire losses for
each of the FIVE months of the pres
emit fiscal year. when compared with
the corresponding months the year
before.
Thirty-two counties shared in the
November loss and three of these
eounties-Hancoek. Mcdowell and
Wyoming-accounte for about 40
per cent of the total. Their respec-
tive losses were s45, 800. S25, 900 and
$1,000.
During the month 10 fires were
reported to the Fire Marshal depart
ment. The loss was entire in SO fires
and in az partial. The sound value
of the property attacked by the
flames was s939,175 and the insur-
ance s739,000.
For the five months of the fiscal
year ending November 80. the loss
in the state from $50 fires was ST.
203,453. a decrease of AZ per cent
from the same period in 1924. For
the IL months ending same date the
loss from 966 fires was S5,487.975,
a decrease of eight per cent from
the preceding corresponding year.
In November the Fire Marshal de-
partment investigated seven suspic-
ious fires--three in Barbour county
and one each in Berkeley, Lewis,
Marion and Ohio counties; obtained
eight indictments for arson-eight in
Braxton and three in Harrison Co..
and convicted two firebugs in the
former county.
Fourteen deaths from fire occurred
in November-three in Summers,
two each in Grant and Richie and
one each in Tyler. Wood, Kanawha,
Marion, Nicholas, Wayne and Poca-
hontas. There were ID injured from
the same cause.
The November fire list included al
dwellings, stores, garages, 8
school houses, banks. 2 coal tipples.
mandatory, hotel dry cleaners.
warehouse, restaurant. shop and shed.
Twenty-nine of the fires were of un-
known origin and most of the others
were caused by defective fiues, gas
and gasoline explosions, gas jets and
ignition of woodwork from stoves
and heaters. Five of the fires were
of incendiary and three of suspicious
origin.
