RAILWAYS PLAN
AIR-TRAIN TRIPS
ACROSS NATION
Joint Service Expected to
Give Maximum Speed
and Comfort.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Several
trunk Line railroads are planning
joint air-and-rail passenger service,
to provide the ultimate in speed
and comfort to their clients.
The proposals have been taken
up with William P. MacCracken, as
sistant secretary of commerce for
air, the United Press learned today.
He has approved the plan, and
promised Government assistance in
working out details.
st think the railroads believe they
can render public service by pro-
viding connections to allow rail
travel by night and air travel by
day." MacCracken told the United
Press. He is en- route today 10 Chi
cago and Detroit, where he will OBJ
serve the close of the Ford relia-
bility air tour next week, and while
in the West may confer with rail-
road officials on the proposed new
departure.
The air-and-rail plan would in
clude sale of air tickets at the rail-
road ticket Offices, probably with an
option of all-rail travel and a par
tial refund in case of bad flying
weather.
MacCracken pointed out that
most of a, business day could be
saved, for instance, on a passage
from Detroit to Washington. The
rail journey takes about twenty
hours by the best trains.
A passenger could leave Detroit
around midnight, after theater,
and arrive in Pittsburgh shortly aft
er dawn. Then he would go to Nc
Keesport, jump into plane about
7 a. M, reaching Washington by IL.
If he made the entire trip by train,
he would reach Washington at
p. m.
The trip would be more comforta-
BILE under air-rail conditions, with
the night trip over smooth country
by rail, and the, day trip by tnclosed
Limousine" plane over mountains
which slow down trains.
The most feasible opportunity to
put this train into effect in the near
future, if agreements can be reached
between roads and air companies, is
in connection with the Chicago-to-
San Francisco airmail-and-passen-
ger service, now operated by the
Boeing company of Seattle, and the
similar New York to Chicago air.
mail service, to be taken over from
the Government by National Air
Transport, Inc, on Aug. l.

America and England as Far

Ship Question.
TONNAGE OR NUMBER7
U. S. Wants Former Basis;
Britain latter, to Decide
Sea Strength.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondent


GENEVA, July 1.-THE Coolidge
naval ornaments conference re-
NAMED deadlocked today over pre-
cisely the same kind of question as
that which wrecked the leagues
preparatory disarmament commits
sion.
The question was whether naval
limitation should be determined on
basis of total tonnage or total
number of vessels.
At the preparatory conference,
France insisted on the adoption OF
limitation program on basis Of
total tonnage. Great Britain in
sisted equally on the fixing OF the
precise number of ships in each
category. Neither gave in, and tho
conference ended in failure.
At the present conference the
United States delegations attitude
is similar to that of France, while
Britain again is talking in number
of ships 1t frankly is admitted that
the present conference may end the
same way as the preparatory con-
ference.
No Common Ground
Thus far-and the conference now
is almost at the end of its third
week-the British and American
representatives have found virtual
ly no common ground for discussion.
When the British talk Of the nuns
Der of ships they want in each cat
egory, the Americans Immediately
try to translate numbers into tom
mage.
Likewise, when the United States
delegation sets forth its claims in
total tonnage, the British commits
sion tries to translate tonnage into
numbers of ships.
Hence, the negotiations to date
have travelled in vicious circle.
Against Navy Race
The Americans insisted that their
present efforts to induce the Brit
ish to reduce their demand for
cruisers is not due to q desire to
deprive Great Britain of a force
which that country considers neces-
sary to protect its trade routes.
Rather, the United States delega-
ito nfeels that unless Britain's de-
mands are reduced and kept within
the limits originally suggested by
the United States, the conferences
will result in increased construction.

BY ELDORA FIELD

There are two hospital rows" in
Indianapolis.
In one, the buildings bear digni-
fed names, such as Indiana Univer-
sity hospital, Methodist hospital, st.
Vincents, Indiana Christian, and
City hospital.
And in these buildings are all
kinds Of men and women. Some are
made bitter by their suffering
Some are sullen. Some are hateful
and spiteful, despite the honest eff
forts of their doctors.
In the other hospital row" the
buildings are less imposing, have
less inspiring names, and fewer
flowers and visitors.
The patients walk on four legs
instead of two, and also differ from
the afflicted humans, in that they
are never sullen, lacking in graft
tude, or vicious.
DR.. o. G. Richardson, Of the Cap
itol Dog and Cat hospital, Fifteenth
st. and Capitol Ave-, declares that
in years Of experience he never has
discovered vicious dog.
Insists on Friendliness
every dog that bites does so
because he is afraid or misunder-
stands a situation. The very first
thing I do before treating a dog
is to win his confidence. I've often
had dogs return to me after they've
been sent home.
"One, a white bull, here for a
broken back from an automobile
accident, ran away from home and
came back hake at every oppor-
tunity. To his dog mind we repre-
sented that which had given him
relief, and he was grateful"
Over at the hospital row" where
the buildings have fine names, they
hire clerks to chase patients with
bills, and considerable chasing is
necessary occasionally, as any doc
tor can tell you.
There is big difference in
treating animals and human be-
ings," says DR.. C.. F. Stout, proprie-
tor of the NewfPet Animal Hospital,
1880 N. Capitol Ave.
"The caretakers in successful
dog and cat hospital must like their
patients. I guess that isn't neces-
sary in a hospital for people, but
animals won't get we, unless they
know those who are treating them
like them. Then they know they
can trust them"
Animals Reason
DR.. r. H. Boyd, whose hospital
is at 1922 N. Capitol Ave-, is con-
vinced that animals reason. Some of
the doctors who treat human
patients frequently express doubts
about their patients in this respect.
1--WE seen dogs who have been
cured of an ailment or lameness, be-
come quite pitiful when their
masters came" he explained, as evil
dence of their reasoning power.
''They wanted to win sympathy"
| DR.. Boyd had just finished oper-
ating upon dog, who had swal-
lowed two jack stones. The patient,
with brilliant lights shining upon
him, lay on the operating table just
coming to. An x-ray machine and
a dental electric engine were close
by.
Sure we fill the animals teeth
the doctor said, following the re-
porter's glance. "a valuable grey
hound which had got in a fight and
broken his teeth now wears two
crowns put in the other day."

DOGS LIKE DOCTORS
All Friendly i'm Hospital RO10

There is a juvenile ward at the
animal hospital to.
The smallest patient, attendants
say, was the eight and half ounce
Mexican dog of Mrs. James Camp
bell. HOG Eugene st. 1t is believed
to be the smallest matured canine
in the State. 1t went home feel
ing fine" after treatment for stom-
ach trouble.
Another big difference between the
two hospital rows" is the reaction
of the visitor. 1t is depressing as a
rule to visit a human hospital But
one leaves the animal hospital snil-
ing as a rule, because the old human
race can't be so very bad after all
if it will go to so much trouble just
for cats and dogs.

All Take Free Rides on
Riverside Thriller and
See 'Nehi.'

Some 500 boy and girl carriers of
The Times realized their ambitions
to do and see everything afforded by
the facilities Of Riverside Park to-
day.
The picnic began at 9. AS each
carrier entered the park he or she
received a ticket which specified
that the youngster holding 1t was
entitled to every ride in the park.
Thriller First Choice
They all wanted to ride on the
Thriller first. Not until every ticket
for the Thriller had been used did
the other rides fill up.
Then there was the Whip, the
Merry Go-Round, the Skyrocket, the
Caterpillar-all did a rushing busi-
ness.
There was plenty Of noise, of
course. especially when the Thriller
took the big leap at its start.
Down in one corner of the lot
there was crowd all morning-the
crowd being caused by one "Nehl.
They All Want Him
Nehi is a pony that is to be given
away by The Times. in a carrier
contest to start shortly. There was
much speculation at the park today
about What I'll do with him II
I get him."
The youngsters stayed at the park
until one o'clock. Then the regular
days work Of carrying The Times
began again.
But The Times was carried with
light hearts this afternoon for those
who carried it had seen all that
Riverside has to offer-a great am
bition realized.
