about insanitary conditions.
Every. housewife should pay at
tention to the kitchen sink. It is
important that AL wash waters
should be strained before they are
thrown in the sink. Solid particles
in wash water frequently clog drain
pipes. producing an insanitary con-
dition, which often results In injury
to health. All pipes should be open,
not hidden from view. The old-fash-
toned sink is usually built in affair
with closet underneath. All too
frequently such closets become q
breeding place for vermin, and be-
cause they are closed and dark and
difficult to keep clean.
Many people do not realize that
the cellar is one Of the most impor-
tant rooms in the house. Your eel

bish. All waste materials should be
discarded frequently, and not al

provide convenient shelters for rats,

MOBILE RIFLES ID
 GUARD BIG CANAL
IA Inch Guns Being Shipped
 to Panama

Washington, Feb. 2 (Pl--Plans for experimenting the 16-inch coast de- tense batteries of the Panama Can I1l lon" with two Ia inch rifles on railway mounts have been approved by the war department and they Wlll be shipped south as soon as necessary changes on railway trucks to llt the gauge Of the Panama rail- ,rond have been made.
 The railway guns will be similar In mounting 10 the rifle recently transported across the continent to Los Angeles on it's own carriage. Four oi these weapons and their hallway mounts have been complet- cd and in addition 10 the two as- lSlgned to the Panama' defcnses, the i fourth probably also will go to the l Pacific coast as will two more which will be requested in later appropria- Ition bills.
 Major General Frank w. Coe. for Inner chief oi coast artillery has in formed the house military sub-com- Ilnittee on appropriations of the plan Ito have a battery of four 14-inch railway guns ultimately on the Pa 'citic coast and also to supplement .the fixed batteries of the canal zone with two Of these heaviest type of mobile gun, The shipment Of the first gun to the west coast was made as q demonstration of the sound ness of inc plan to uso this mobile artillery all along the Pacific coast,
 he said.
 Major General (. Williams, chief of army orlnance told the commit tee the railway guns had a proven range of 3S,A0o yards as compared to the 49,0 900 yard range of the 1f- inch rifles. Four more 16-lnch weapons are to be placed in the canal fixed defcnses to supplement the four already in process of in- Stallation as a part of the army pro- gram to place 2S of these great guns al various points on the con- tnent or overseas.
 Explaining the decision 10 send the rail guns to Panama, General Coe told the committee that their strategic mobility was very great.
 They could be moved from one end of the canal 10 the other" he said, "and we felt that the probabl- fly of an attack coming from both ends at the same time was remote"

siderable shifting of control and new railroad map is rapidly being drawn. In tho northwest, little actual progress has been made to- ward linking the so-called grangers,
 Developments which have taken place over tho puse year indicate at present the possibility that sovcn- teen large systems will eventually take their place in tho general rail. road scheme of the country, as com pared with the nineteen originally suggested by the interstate com. merce commission. Many of these will follow the tentative I. C. c. pro- posals but these groupings in tho east and the southwest particuarly, have been pretty well disrupted.
 Five great railroads will span the eastern trunk line territory, Heading these systems will he the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio and Nickel Plate railroads which are now competing for the acquisition of tho prosperous anthra- cite coal carriers. and the Delaware and Hudson, itself coal road. which under tho guidance of l.. r.

 No Attention To New England.
 Little thought so far has been given to grouping Of the New Eng land roads, but the present financial recovery of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford has indicated that 1t may eventually have system em- bracing all the roads in that section of the country.
 The creation of two great unified southern systems under tho leader ship of the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line will require merely a consolidation of the sub sidiaries now controlled hy these roads. Recent developments have in dicated that plans were nearing completion for joining tho Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville and Nashville, known as the "Walters Roads, together with various trib-
