Buses w. Railroads

The Interstate Commerce Commissions investga.
ton Of the operation Of motor buses and trucks with
q view to recommending regulatory legislation To
congress will be completed in Washington On Octo-
Der %. The commission at the present time is con-
siderng replies to the questionnaire which was sent
out to steam and electric railways.
The result Of various hearings held in different
parts of the country and study Of the replies to
the questionable reveal that the motor trucks and
buses have indeed cut seriously into the revenue of
the railroads Of the country and these roads feel
that If the motor vehicles to be in direct compe-
titon with them they should be subject to the same
sort of federal regulation as they themselves are
under.
Experts disagree however, as to the necessity or
the wisdom Of motor regulation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission Some agree that the bus
should be regulated, but preferably by state COM
missions. Then the large truck operators want ia
sored regulation all kinds Of truck shipments.
while the small operators feel that the truck bust
ness should not be regulated until it has found its
place in the transportation scheme
With such divergence of opinion among the
various factors concerned in the situation it is a
good thing that the commerce commission has gore
into the affair as thoroughly, as has been done
with an exhaustive study Of the replies to the aues
tonnares, some logical and fair conclusion should
be reached to guide congress in the enactment OF
legislation that will be beneficial and not onerous to
all parties concerned. The motor bus and truck
have come to stay and they must be put on a sound
impartial basis.

Oh. Man, But You're Smart.

The average man will admit himself, secretly
at least, that he is smart Some admit it openly
The educated man finds the farther he goes in the
hunt for knowledge, the less he knows.

cation no human government ever has approached
in perfection the economy, patriotism, self-sacr'fce
devotion and perpetuity to be found in the govern
ment If the honcy-bees.

per business, but our imitation silk is inferior TO
the genuine and synthetic honey worse
We now have the radio with its great educational
possibilities and static torturcs, but the insects long
have been able to signal another relatively
long distances by system which We do not
derstand.
One Of our problems in illumination is to create
fire which CLOVIS but which does not burn. So
far, in best lights, much Of the energy Of
buston is wasted in the form of heat Light pro-
ducing insects, such the freflies. able to
kindlc in their bodies little blaze which is more
than ninety nine per cent light and less than one
per cent heat
Long before man learned to warm his habitation
with fire, the bees had discovered muscular excr-
else whereby in very cold weather they could raise
the temperature in their homes much as thirty
five degrees centigradc.
We cool our rooms with electric fans but before
electricity harncssed the bumblebees had
learned to station individuals along their passage
ways to create cool air currents by constantly fut-
tering their wings. . -4
Had man paid heed to the insect world long ago
the gardener might have learned points in his art
from the ambrosa beetle, which plants beds of sue
culent fungus in its burrows to furnish nourish-
ment for it's young. The soldier might have learned
the possibilities Of poisonous gases in warfare from.
the bombarder beetle. which hurls discomfitng
