Summing up the commissions atti-
tude toward the reproduction theory
as expressed in. the precedent-making
order in the O'Fallorf case, Eastman
says:
sThe report here gives our reasons
for believing that such a rate base
would be nothing short of a public
calamity; that it would at the present
time be grossly unjust to the public
served by the railroads; that it is
likely at some future time to be equal
ly unjust to those who have invested
their savings in the railroads; that it
is without foundation in sound rea-
son, and that it is deficient in both
stability and practicability.
Some students of the situation ex-
press the belief that a supreme court
ruling allowing the railroads repro
duction cost valuation would SO in
crease the q Ratesssthat railroads and
other utilities would oftener and Oft
ener be taken over by the national
and municipal and state governments
One Of the loudest voices raised for
the reproduction theory has been that
of the Railway Age, an organ of the
railroad industry, which accuses the
I. C. C. of radicalism and a desire
for government ownership. In referr-
ing to the O'Fallon order, the Railway
Age said;
Nowhere is there any recognition
of the fact that it is just and desirable
for the owners of railways to receive
| IL, Vol
property as the owners of other kinds
of property
| It is that "fact' for which the rail
roads now demand recognition,
] No one need suppose, however, thai
! the railroads are going broke. The

The music division of the Library
of Congress has just received the
original sketches and full score OF
Robert Schumann's symphony No. !"
lin B fiat, opus 38) in the composers
handwriting.
The manuscripts were purchased at
recent auction sale In Berlin OF part
of the celebrated collection of mu-
steal manuscripts of the late Wilhelm
Heyer of Cologne. The purchase was
made possible through the gift OF
81 900 from the Beethoven Associa-
ton of New York for the increase OF
the library's collection of autograph
chamber music and orchestra manu-
scripts In the hands of classic COM
posers.
The sketches and full score are
bound together in the original card
boards. In all, there are 1873 quarto
pages In Schumann's writing. Six
teen of them contain the first sketches
of the entire work. written mostly
in pencil, and one two slaves after the
fashion of piano reduction" Ac-
cording to the dates placed on them
by Schumann himself, these sketches
were completed in the incredibly short
time of four days, January % to 26,
lS41. The orchestration was begun
on the following day. January 27, and
finished on February 20.
Thus the whole, to which Schumann
gave the name of Spring Symphony"
was conceived, sketched and orches-
trated in less than month during
the time of the composers greatest
activity.
This was Schumanns first large or
chestral work. Numerous changes In
the orchestra score were proof that
he was still unfamiliar with the tech.

BritOns Seek Law
To Free Ice Cream
OfHigh Air Content
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 20.-Steps
have been taken to debate" the
ice cream OF England, which. it is
claimed, is in some cases so per
cent air.
At one time ice cream was almost
unknown in the British Isles. Now
the annual consumption is AS
600. 900 gallons
The Ice Cream Association of
Great Britain and Ireland and
dairy orga nizations have urged the
ministry Of health to fit a butter
fat standard.
The contention is made that some
manufacturers. by the use OF high
speed freezers and concentrated in
gradients, turn out ice cream whip
ped TO double its original volume,
one-half of which is actually air.
Small manufacturers claim that
without expensive machinery they
make a product that has less air
and more cream than that OF their
prosperous competitors.
