U. S. Barge Experiments Seen
As Wedge for Cheaper Rates

There seems to be too much talk
about $4,000 600 terminals" advises the
Davenport Democrat which gives as an
analysis of the situation:
There Is no use in engineers or
shippers thinking of the barge lines 10
terms OF the present The system
should be gradually built up with an
eye 10 the future. Cities need not be
asked TO provide terminals now. 10 han

1910, but there should be o co-opera-
ton between the cities and the river
interests that will have 1910 in mind.
and lay the foundation for extensive
and profitable river-borne commerce
which. within a few years, may be an
important item in Middle West pros
perity and development"
A statement from Senator Bruce.
Maryland. that 1.-The Baltimore Associ-
alton OF Commerce Is opposed TO the
Mississippi River barge line operations. -
inspires the argument from the St
Paul Pioneer Press:
Apparently the formal grounds of
opposition are that the barge line s
freight rates are below cost. which Is
an uneconomic condition not calculated
to establish this transportation on a
sound and permanent basis The Mis-
sissippi River region will not be dis
pleased at evidence that. in spite Of
its troubles, the barge line is getting
on. Inland Waterway Corporation re-
ports show that the last annual defici,
in barge operations occurred in
1925. The deficit was &34,5i9. In 1925
there was operating protlt OF $2la5li.
In the first eight months OF 1927 the
profits were $l&8 900. Congress will be
unlikely to heed opposition based on
selfish grounds"
An attack from Representative Bar
bour. California, on proposed improve
ments OF the upper Missouri. which the
Long Beach Press Telegram states Is
supposedly OH the ground that the
deepening OF that stream for barge
navigation Is not practicable from an
engineering standpoint" Is viewed by
that paper In the light OF the fact that
in the Midwest IL Is claimed that
California Is selfish. inasmuch as il
enjoys cheaper rates on grain. alfalfa
and other products that enter the
export trade than do Nebraska, Kansas
and other Central States. 81. =

manding all OF the advantages that
can come to them through proper us.

competition California may suffer as n
result will be more than balanced by

Back to Nature" is q slogan often
abused. Civilized man cannot 60 back
20 q state of nature as easily as some
would have us believe he can.
Thousands OF years of custom and
habit, many OF them reaching into the
hidden recesses Of mind and soul, pre-
vent us from calmly turning to the
animal life.
Innumerable cults have made the at
tempt. usually with complete failure,
making only small bubbles in the gen.
| eral sea Of humanity, which went right
along with entire disregard OF the in
novators.
A few health "fads" have survived,
however, and these offer the average
F., human being the best. and one might
say the only way to get back to ma =
ture," with the exception Of fishing
hunting and camping, the three first
loves of humanity.
To force the hair Of the head to full
MI It's true mission as an entirely ade-
uate head covering. instead of remain
Ing merely as an adornment, is to take
short cut back to as much nature as
we can stand
Nature. while admittedly grand, i"
as the girl said, is filled with ants that
crawl over the picnic sandwiches, and
many similar inconvenient actions and
situations. so that the modern man
takes the nature propaganda with a
distinct grain of salt
Go without a hat, however, and fee
remarkably in line with the universal
mother. She made the hair to cover
the head, not primarily to provide work
for the barber or beauty parlor.
The free pYnngtfrp pf tho l1air n fhn
air OF Summer and Winter stimulates
its growth, within certain limits, and
tends to harden the entire system, and
to make 1t better resist colds" and
other respiratiOnal diseases.
Attention Is called to the fact that
we say tends" Like the patent medi-
cine label, which changed its will to
should" under the salutary prodding
OF the Government. one only can say
that exposure OF the head tends TO make
the body resist cold
The curious will see any number of
healthly-looking young fellows of high
school and college age. going around
without hats this Winter.
To us who shuttle along in hats che
boys seem remarkably free from colds
What do you do when you do catch
one?" we asked the other day. do YOU
put your hat on then?"
'Oh. no" he replied. II Just 60 on"
Sure enough, we had never thought
OF that. They just go on! There is
nothing else to do. To capitulate, at
the first touch of cold. would be
tatamount TO saying, Well. this thing
of going without hat Is all right in
Spring and Summer. but will not do
In Fall and Winter"
The very point of the hatless vogue
Is that it is perfectly possible to go
without a hat the year round, without
succumbing to the lure OF the hat
manufacturers or giving in to the
cautionary advice OF the old folks.
The world Is so hat-bound that the
manufacturers will still have plenty of
hats 10 sell. and the old folks are SO
''sot' in their ways that they will con-
tinue to wear them. But one wonders
what the present generation OF hatless
young men will do when they grow
up"
Will they think that dignity and a
hat go together. or will they manfuliy
stick TO their own hair?
