THE NORGE

Since the Italian-built Scandinavian-own- ed dirigible airship Norge made its success full flight from Norway to Alaska directly across the north pole the proper pronuncla- ton of the name of the first vessel of any kind to cross the top of the earth has been the subject of much discussion. But the name is by no means new one in the nom- enclature of ships There were at least two others of the name, though both were steamers blowing the briny deep" and not the atmosphere.
 Both are now in the keeping of Davy Jones, who maintains locker" large enuf to accommodate every ship that ever sail ed or steamed the seven seas. The first of the name, of which record has been retain ed, was wrecked on Rockall reef in the north Atlantic in June, 1894 with the loss of 600 lives. The other was wrecked off the Scottish coast just ten years later and 646 lives were lost But the hoodoo on the name must have been destroyed, as the latest Norge" not only crossed the pole in safe ty, but won the distinction of being the first vessel of any kind to make thru connections which others had failed to accomplish after more than a century of effort.
 Now that the jinx has departed we may expect numerous other vessels to assume the name of the champion flier.
 The Japanese government proposes to subsidize the construction of three new ocean going ships to the extent of about $l,- 100000 annually. The new ships will be built, by Japanese company and will cost about S5,000000 each. In the meantime the United States refuses to aid American ocean shiDping bv means of either a subsidy or preferential tariff, and American ships are carrying a smaller proportion of Amer1- can commerce than they did last year.

THE WESTERN CARRIERS

The application of the Western railroads for an increase of per cent in freight rates is still occupying the attention of the Inter state Commerce Commission. The final dis position of the matter appears to rest upon two questions: What have been the average net earnings of the Western carriers and how can flair return" be made possible with the depression in agriculture as the leading factor in the problem?
 Itis asserted that in 1925 the net earnings of the Western railroads were 4.12 per cent on the capital invested; and this was the best year of the last five years. On the oth- CT hand it is argued that an increase in freight rates is not possible until Congress releases the commission from consideration of the existing depression in agriculture 7"
 The essential points appear to be the pro- per level of rates consistent with the main tenance of an adequate transportation sys- tenn, and how far the agricultural situation m gith u-pAAsiatic9zshipping6fi; ;ueerlei
 might be relieved by lower rates without injuring the efficiency of the railroads.

Supporters Of unified air service,

that the iron bound discipline of the

SLIGHTLY loosed over the air program
viii bring a sufficient number of wob-

and Mrs. Sorensen was severely in
jured, one arm and some ribs were
broken. Mrs. Stone, who was severe
bruised, was able to get assistance,
with the result that Mrs. SorenSen
was conveyed to the Stone home
where she received almost immediate
medical attention from the Westby
doctor. Mr.. Stone, who was excused
from the jury because Of the unfOrtu-
nate occurrence, states that Mrs. SOr-
ensen is progressing favOrably.
Mrs. Sorensen is II years old and
