BY RAIL AND AIR

Combining railroad and air travel
appears more logical than long dis
tanee air travel alone. Few travel
ers would care to remain awake all
night on an air plane in order to
negotiate a long route in quick time.
The day may come when 1t will be
possible to provide sleeping quar-
ters for passengers on air planes,
but so far the problem has defied
solution. Until 1t is solved, which in
all probability will take a long time,
a combination OF air and rail travel
seems entirely feasible, through the
simple expedient OF enjoying the
comforts Of a Pullman sleeper at
night and gliding twice the distance
through the air in the daytime. Such
a combination trip between New
York and the Pacific coast ought to
cut at least "a hours from the pres
ent running time. 1t Is sane use Of
passenger air travel for long dis
tances and in all probability will be-
come popular within the next few
years

Early yesterday morning the

GEHRIG AND RUTH

As everyone knows, or once
knew. Babe Ruth's salary Is the
trifle of 100000 for three years of
swat. The Babe Is drawing this
stipend largely and solely because of
his ability to hit the ball on the nose
and transporting it over the fence or
in the bleachers. His employers ex-
pected certain number of such
swats during the season and they
are not disappointed so far.
Nobody expected the bambino to
have much competition in his
speciality. To the surprise of the ma
ton at large, however. such compe-
tition has cropped up In Lou Gehrig,
the swatter who once was member
OF the Hartford team. At this writ
ing, in fact, Our Lou" has bested
Ruth, being a little ahead OF the
clouter.
Gehrig is not drawing anything
like 100000 for three years for
pushing the pill around. His income,
in fact. Is quite modest in compari-
son. But he is doing as much as
Ruth to glorify the home run in
dustry. Perhaps, al the end OF the
season, the beneticent owners Of the

A STATE SURPLUS

The annual bond audit OF the
state has disclosed surplus Of ap-
proximately 100000 over the
funded debt of $1s,2s1,ooo. The
figures appertain to the close Of the
last fiscal year, June 80.
The surplus at the close Of the
previous fiscal year was $1,699.O07.
1t Is apparent from the new figures
that progress has been made.
The funded debt Of the state,
more than $4,000, 900. is balanced
with sinking fund bonds worth more
than $13,00o,0 900 at par, plus a cash
balance in the treasury OF $s.OoO,-
900. This total of $21,oOO.OO0 yields
the surplus OF $4,000 900 over the
funded debt.
The money continues rolling in
and the legislature won't meet for
another two years. Meanwhile
Finance Wizard Ed F. Hall and his
commission are endeavoring to
save more money" The time may
come when the state will have too
much money on hand.

preston has been growing that the

which have been used for training.
were acquired during and immedi-
ately following the war and despite
repeated efforts to rebuild them
have been far from the standards
of more modern planes.

LOCOMOTIVE COLOR

And so the Boston & Maine is 60
ing In for gay-colored locomotives.
II this is an evidence of progress we
will make the most of it. We rather
think it qualities as a move in the
direction OF adding personality and
distinction to the hitherto mono
tonous appearance Of the choo-choo
engines.
The locomotives 1t is stated, will
be improved in appearance along
the lines Of color appeal developed
by automobile designers" Again the
influence of the gasoline chariots is
felt. The autos are setting a terrific
pace in color-scheming. and II the
railroad locomotives ever catch up
what a beautiful world this will be.
And after the locomotives have
been rainbow-hued, little more
color on the coaches will do no
harm.

subjects from their thrones In this
manner.
@. Where did the term Jazz"
originate?
A. Its origin has been variously
explained. According to one au-
thority 1t originated with = band Of
four pieces known as the "Razz
band. that was popular in New
Orleans. They played the baritone
horn, trombone, cornet and a queer
instrument made of the wood Of q
Chinaberry tree. The four musi-
clans went from New Orleans to
New York as their fame spread. and
In some manner the name "Razz
Band" became Jazz Band.
Q. What causes bunions7 Can
they be cured?
A. Bunions are enlarged and in
famed joints usually the result of
wearing shoes that are too short,
thereby causing the joint OF the big
toe to become enlarged and irritated.
They can seldom be cured.
Q. How are squash mullins
made?
A. Use one-half cup squash
(steamed and put through strainer)
IA cup sugar, IL teaspoon salt, IL
cup scalded milk. IL cake yeast
dissolved In IA cup lukewarm water,
IA cup butter, Q 1-2 cups flour.
Add squash, sugar. salt, and butter
to milk: when lukewarm, add dis
solved yeast cake and flour: cover
and let rise over night. In the
morning stir down and fill muffin
pans one-half full. Bake about
thirty minutes.
@. Do drowning persons always
rise three times before sinking?
A. A drowning person struggles
to keep on the surface of the water
and in his fright and struggles draws
water into the windpipe, which
makes him cough. Coughing expels
air from the lungs.
and he sinks again. II all the air
Is expelled from the lungs at once,
he will not rise a second time. This
Is especially true where the victim
is fully clothed. Under favorable

son Is fairly level-headed he may
sink and rise many times before
his strength fails.
@. What is the feminine name
corresponding to Paul?
A. Either Pauline or Paula. The
name Is from the Latin and means
little.

PUNISH THE FLOGGERS

Georgia has a splendid opportun-
ity to discourage flogging parties.
The evidence of Mrs. Ansley Bowers,
given in court, seems to be OF a
nature likely to warrant conviction.
If this eventuates the maximum for
all concerned would please the mil
lions of newspaper readers who have
read the revolving account Of how a
woman was beaten by a cowardly
band Of midnight providers.
1t will have been noticed that one
OF the men on trial is the principal
OF high school and the superin-
tendent Of a Sunday school. One Of
the questions asked the woman, so
she says, was why she didn't at
tend church. One gathers from this
that it was considered heinous Of
fence for a woman not to be iden-
titled with religion OF the Georgia
brand. Men who would flog a wom-
an-or flog anybody-and pretend
to be living a Christian life show
a rather warped mentality. Chris
tianity is not supposed to manufac-
ture brutes.
The self-appointed mentors Of
personal conduct who are or have
been active In some parts OF the
country need a lesson. Florida re-
Gently taught a wholesome lesson to
a mob OF would-be lynchers, at

joining state now has its opportunity
to throw the fear of the Lord and
of justice into the black hearts of
its floggers.

WEARY OF FIGHTS

President OF Mexico,

President OF Mexico.
Mexico City, July R)-Weary of
revolutions, Mexico's candidate for
the presidency declared yesterday in
a speech at Hermosillo. The people,
he avowed. will condemn any candi-
date or. faction attempting to con-
vert the presidential campaign into
an armed conflict.
General Obregon repeated the
pledge that he and his followers
would not resort to violence.
The leading newspapers in both
editorials and news columns, criti-
else prevalent talk that a revolution
may be expected from the presi-
dental campaign.
Excelsior asserts that "the some
old Yankee perfidy" inspires hopes
in the United States OF another
Mexican revolution, and that there
Is a campaign by the yellow Amer
lean press" to stimulate such a
revolution" 1t continues:
1.-THE traditional policy Of the
United States has been anti Mexican
and the present propaganda is for
the purpose OF trying to continue
Mexico in a state of perennial anar-
chy and perpetual agitation. But
fortunately the Mexican people I'M
derstand the object OF this propa-
ganda and will not be deceived"

A REVISED PRAYER BOOK

England is always aroused about
something, and now 1t Is a revision
OF the prayer book of the Anglican
church. Wherever English is spok-
en-, We are told, there is discussion
about it.
The cruhch assembly having
finally voted to permit the optional
use OF the old and new versions of
the church ritual, Parliament will
next have the opportunity OF either
accepting or rejecting it. The op-
tional clause may leave Parliament,
composed of Noncomformists,
Catholics. Jews and perhaps some
unbelievers, rather willing to pass
favorably upon matter which in
the last analysis is to be left to the
individual priesthood.
Discussion of this subject is rather
bewildering to the layman. One
side claims the new prayer book
eases off toward the ritual OF the
Roman Catholic church; others
claim it is too modernistic; others
say 1t is still very conservative con-
sidering the times. The old prayer
book dated from 1862, when 1t took
form under the reign Of Charles II,
so that few, it is said, believed the
book did not require some revision
to meet the needs Of the present
line. The trouble began, OF course,
when the details OF revision were
begun.
The general public, including the
large section not part of the
Anglican church, is no doubt deeply
interested in the changes made in
the marriage service. The word
"obey" Is deleted. and In reference
to the husbands property the word
share" Is substituted for "endow."
In the Office for the baptism of in
fants, born In sin" Is altered to the
declaration that God willeth all
men to be saved, for God is love"
The word "obey" in this country
has long been deleted from count
less marriage services. Speaking
personally. and we think most other
mere married folks had the same
experience, We don't remember
whether any such word was in our
particular marriage service. the
parties thereto being too much
flustered to remember the incident

GOVERNMENT OPERATION

1t used to be said that the gov
eminent could never operate any
thing at profit. But the govern
ment has been operating the United
States Lines and has shown profit
during the past fiscal year. %
The profit from operating the
Leviathan, George Washington, Re-
public. President Harding and Pres
ident Roosevelt the past year is an
nounced as being between 5000
and 100000. This Is a net gain Of
more than 100000 in income, the
deficit for the previous fiscal year
having been around $650,o0O.
The Shipping Board Is learning. 1t
requires experience to get a profit
out OF operating passenger vessels.
Considering the keen competition
offered by private concerns the gov
eminent has done exceedingly well.
The Shipping Board is still trying
to sell cargo ships, and various
patriotic but economically minded
citizens and concerns are still trying
to buy Its ships for song. The
board has done we'll to refuse
ridiculously low bids. Rather than
give the ships away they should be
allowed to rot or earn their keep as
best they may. The government is
not in duty bound to play Santa
Claus merely because 1t happens to
have a surplus OF cargo craft on
hand.
