The Railroad Merger

Despite its vital Importance to the northwest, the
proposed merger Of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railways has excited little interest
among the people of this section of the country.
Fhe main purpose for the merger it is said is
to make large cut in the operating expenses Of
the two companies which cannot he avoided as long
as they remain separate. Use of one shop at points
where two maintained will be the rule.
And there will be other savings SO officials of the
lines claim.
But H. E. Byram, president of the Chicago Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railroad. sees great harm in
the merger. He points out that the whole norther,
tier Of states along the border, from Duluth to the
Pacific coast will be without any railroad compe-
tition whatever. He further thinks that such a
union will result inevitably in driving the Milwau.

Whether not this merger is beneficial is 6
thing most people have not decided. And the rea-

It. has been well established for

physician showed that. group Of
children were suffering from bSon-
chial asthma due to the inhalation
Of dry dust resulting from rabbit
hair that was present in pillows, COM

ticles. Now It has been. shown that
Il is possible to make, animals sensi-
tive to horse dandruff by inhalation,
and the reaction is invariably in the
form Of bronchial asthma.
When guinea pigs had little pledg-
cts Of cotton filled with dry horse
dandruff placed in. the nose and
after an intervening period were SUBJ
Jected to dOsages of horse dandruff,
they developed symptoms Of short
ness Of breath and changes in the
body indefinitely associated with the
asthmatic attack.
As with human beings, so also
with the animals, relief could be had
BY the use of epinephrine or adrena-
lin, . substance taken from the
glands lying just above the kidney,
which has been found to be Of value
in alleviating such attacks.

Editorial Comment
In Gaudy Garments
(St. Paul DisDatchl

Though summer may not be officially ended un-
til some four weeks hence when the days and
nights are equal the tang of autumn is in the air
and we have wisely agreed to bid summer farewell
about the first of September. And now the gor-
geous glories Of the season whose name comes from
the Latin root meaning to satisfy ones SELF t. re-
joice, begin to appear.
1t is as though the season. dressing itself in COL
orful gold and purple would disguise from us the
truth Of the passing year and hide from us the loss
Of its youth. Spring comes to US simply clad in
pastel green's trimmed with pale bud and modest
flower. Summer brightens and enrches these
hues, tintng the garment with deepened color But
it is net until autumn comes that the carnival of
color is to be seen.
Nature in these aspects has been by all races
termed feminine. 1t is as though nature performed
before Us the act painted by Goldsmith's words:
! AS some fair female, unadomed and plain
Secure to please. while youth confirmed her
(; reign.
! Sights every borrowed charm that dress sup
!; plies.
Nor shares with art the triumph Of her eyes;
But when those charms past--for charms
| are frail-
When time advances and when lovers fall
She then shines forth, socitous to bless,
In all the garing impotence Of dress.
| Spring needs no borrowed charm of heightened
color to triumph. for spring is youth. But when
those charms are past, her autumn dress is gauds
to delude US from the thought that 1.-THE country
blooms--a garden, and grave"

the bus lines. but found this venture losing one
too. So they took the buses and trucks their
bosom and used them wherever they proved more
efficient than engines. Now trucks and buses are

Recently the Postal Telegraph company announced
purchase of the Federal Telegraph company. The
latter concern being radio enterprise the move
means that the two great means Of commune

worldwide plan. Each agency Of communication
has its weakness and its advantages. They will
balance one another. The public stands to benefit
by this in commercial development.

OVERRIDING the Nonstop Idea
(Minneanolis Trihune\

1t is now apparent that the daring Rcdfern has
failed to reach his objective, Rio de Janero; and
one can only speculate upon what fate has befaller
him. Possibly he may have fallen into the ocean:
and again he may have had to make forced land
ing in an impenetrable tropical forest which prob
ably would mean cruel and uncertain DEATH
We cannot but wonder, in view of the tragedies
which followed in the wake of the Dole air derby
whether Americans are not carrying this nonstop
idea to unnecessary extremes. 1t has been argued
on behalf Of the Redfern flight that, il successful
It would have an important trade significance
There were those who maintained that demon
stration Of the practicability Of the flight woull
secure for the United States q commercial advan-
tage in South America in that "clipper airships'
would furnish us with the same commercial returns
that clipper ships" did in the last century, The
word clipper" Of course is used in the sense OF
clipping time. By making faster time than our
rivals we could get more trade than they.
The argument does not impress US greatly In
the first place. it is doubtful whether the airpane
for some time yet. can be an important factor in
carrying trade And in the second place the answer
would have been given just well for all practical
purposes II the trip from Brunswick Georgia. to Rio
had been broken up into several hops, with conse-
quent reduction of the terrific hazard. And the
hazard of that trip was, 1t must be admitted ter
rifle. Redfern had 70 cover distance of 1900
miles, 700 miles more than Chamberlin accounted
for in his flight to Germany. He had to break a
worlds record in other words and not by small
but by huge margin. And during the course Of
his fight he had to pass over the Caribbean sea
(whose atmospheric conditions are notoriousy moro
treacherous than those Of either the Atlantic OF
the Pacifc). over the jagged peaks Of the GUAM,
highlands, and over vast tracts in the interior 0f
Brazil which not even the most venturesome ex-
nlOrefN have ever invaded. II vvnad eoonn 70 TIA
lay observer that the hazard was disproportionate
TO the possible gain; and that enough would have
been accomplished II the flight had been made in
several hops. the last from Guiana to Rio. Even
though Redeem, by some miracle, were still ia
emerge alive, we should still believe that such a
flight represents carrying the nonstop fetish too
far

Jimmy" Does Il


It would seem that Jimmy" Walker. the youth

The peculiar thing about Jimmy's success in a

been just the opposite Of those Of Chamberlin Lind

who made the ocean trip. They had to be digni-
fed; had to learn to say the right thing at the
right moment. They could indulge in no levity
But Jimmy" is wisecracking his way over Eu-

right time, but It is not dignfed tribute in the
