Through the South.

Gross revenues and net operating in

Business at present in the South is
quiet, but there are indications of some
Wick-up. expect that further gain
viii be witnessed before long.
Prospects for heavy vegetable traf-
nc this year are excellent. Acreage
planted to vegetables in the Seaboards
territory is considerably larger than last
year, and this indicates an increase in
this class of traffic for the Seaboard
later In the year.
"Only small part of the past years
citrus fruit crop remains to be shipped.
The past seasons crop totaled between
100000 and 1900, 900 boxes, COM
pared with about 23,000,000 boxes in the
preceding year. 1t is now estimated that
next seasons crop will be between u.s.
O00, 900 and 100000 boxes.
Improvement program inaugurated
by Seaboard Air Line late last year is
progressing satisfactorily. Some small
projects have already been completed
and a good start has been made on
others. Seaboard recently ordered 1000
freight cars from Southern manufac-

on the basis of the Army intelligence
tests, workers have been graded in
seven groups. On the basis of the 1920
census, about 100000 persons are
placed at or below the 14-year intelli-
gence. The three highest intelligence
groups comprise about 100000. A
considerable literature has been built
up around the possibility Of thus util-
izing lower and lower grades of intel

The "moronization" group, however,
meets a serious obstacle before it even
gets under way with its argument.

NEW YORK, March 25.-There is
doubtless larger proportion of college
graduates in the bread lines than at any
previous period of great unemployment.
The Bowery branch of the New York
Y. M. G. A. reports that per cent of
the men to whom it issues daily 10000
meal tickets are college men and that
quite number of them are members of
Phi Beta Kappa.
This writer did not find any holders
Of the golden key of scholarship among
the unemployed in the lodging house
lines in the Bowery. He did find, how
ever, several men who said they were
college graduates and learned of many
others. Estimates of the numbers of
collegianS so stranded were generally
much higher than 5 per cent. In gen.
eral the proportion of white collar work
erS now in diStre:; is Enthusiastically
larger than in 1921.
White Collar Men.
Neurological unemployment is
working more relentlessly against execu-
tives, skilled workers and office men,
than it is against the unskilled. This
view is supported by various social
agencies. Employment agencies through
out New York report more white-collar
men out of jobs than ever before.
Educators have shown alarm about
production in their particular field
At the recent Atlantic City convention
of school SuperintendentS, under the
auspices Of the National Education As
ISOLATION, there were two formal adj
dresses seriously urging that youth be
kept in school for longer periods of
years, so that it would continue to con-
sumo, instead of getting out into the
competition for Jobs
Ethelbert Stewart, United States COM
missioner of labor statistics, has ex-
pressed alarm over what he fears will
become "the moronization of industry"
He foresees a greater mechanization of
labor, greater displacement of skilled
workers and more employment among
the lower grades of intelligence and less
among the higher. At a convention of

It was learned that in a few isolated
instances manufacturing concerns had

Competition in Industry.
It seemed to this observer, in viewing
labor conditions in this and other cities,
that State and Federal Government
agencies, management bodies and So
cially-minded groups studying unem-
ployment were swamped. They think
they know what is the matter, but there
isn't much they can do.
Certain enlightened industries, such
as the great Cincinnati soap company,
which has scientifically solved its labor
problems, give ground for the hope that
industry itself will find way.
In spite of all the news Of great
mergers, American industry still Is In a
highly competitive stage. This writer
registers a long-range prediction that
the urgency of new Indignation of ma
chine problems and human problems
will bring about move for the aboli-
ton of the Sherman antitrust law, a
modification of the Clayton act and a
complete abandonment of the economic

Burroughs Body Chooses
Him to Preside-FuII Board

Kenneth P. Armstrong of 1912
Kearney street northeast was elected
president of the Burroughs Citizens
Association at its first Fall meeting last
night. Mr.. Armstrong is successor to
William E. Rabenhorst. who had been
president of the body since 1t was
created, 10 months ago.
Other officers elected were: Wilbur

the problem of how the dinosaurs came
to their end with the advent of the
age of mammals. Some have held that
the small, alert, FLOODED crea-
lures, the ancestors of the dominant
life on earth today, put an end to their
great rivals by sucking their eggs. They
had better brains than the reptiles and
moved more quickly and efficiently:
But the probability is. DR.. Gidley
says, that this had very little to DO with
it. The extinction of the dinosaurs
came about over a period of several
million years simply because the climate
and the character of the country
changed. For millions of years they
had lived in the dense, hot marshes and
their systems had become adapted to
certain kinds of food. When the

Strategists Plan for
Large Scale Inundation

The story of how the Dutch, in the
days of the prince Of Orange, opened
the bikes and flooded the country to
drive off the Spanish invaders is well
known. The story of how the Allies
, did the same in this last war to hold
back the Germans for few precious
weeks is also we'll known. Now the
French ministry of war plans to
make inundation a regular part of
their defense at the north.
Before. when the bikes have been
opened, it was only as last resort,
because land flooded by salt water is
rendered sterile for years. so that
only tie greatest necessity would
force the French to open the gates
to the seas.
However, they plan to build line
Of bikes and levees that will permit
mixing salt water with fresh water,
so that the land will be fit for cult
walton sooner
This new system would allow
flooding the land at any time and in
a very short period of time. Army
man euvers this fail will include
manipulation of the existing locks.

savages. OF course, they were ignOr-
ing the fact that during the wars with
the French the Colonists had been
glad enough to have the aid of In
dams, over whom they had little more
control than had Burgoyne over his
allies. They were ignoring, too, the
fact that early in the struggle for
freedom, they themselves, had solicit
ed the aid of Indians and even then
so-called Christian Indians from Stock
bridge, Mass. were fighting on their
side. But propagandists then,Ta as ever
since that time, have not always been
concerned with telling the whole truth.
Burgoyne had hoped that not only
active Loyalists, but those whose al
legiance was doubtful would rally to
his army as it advanced. When he
captured Ticonderoga SO easily, it was
such a blow at the Patriot cause that
it began to look as though the whole
rebellion might collapse, especially
since there were so many Colonists
who cared little for either king or
congress and wanted only to be al
lowed to continue in their peaceful
pursuits. But the unpublished murder
of Jane McCrea made even those, who
might be inclined to swear allegiance
to the crown and receive a certificate
of loyalty, waver. If the bride of an
officer in his army was killed by his
savages, what assurance would they
have that anyone would be safe from
his painted demons, they asked them
selves. Among these who favored the
Patriot cause her death helped fix in
them a stubborn determination to re-
sist the invader to the end and to
quicken them into action. Remember
Jane McCrea!" became something of
n ralying cry along the harried from
tier of New York, for the fame of the
victim made the story of her death
spread like wildfire and greatly stimu-
lated recruiting.
Thus the story of Jane McCrea was
spread broadcast throughout the col
onies. 1t became leading item of
Patriot propaganda.
No doubt. that master propaganda
of them all, canny Len Franklin made
good use of it, just as he used the
famous inventory of scalps" story
(Which he had manufactured) so efii-
GENTLY in stirring up the Patriots to
high pitch of fury against the Brit
ish. Although it is impossible ever to
lay a finger upon the definite results
of propaganda, there can be no doubt
that this story had an important effect
upon Patriot morale at time when
it was very low. 1t took the fighting
of Willett and Gansevoort at Fort
Schuyler (Stanwix), of Stark and a
Warner at Bennington and of a Nor
gan and an Arnold at Saratoga to
crush the invader and to make his de-
feat one of the fifteen decisive battles
of the world and his surrender the
real turning point in the American
Revolution. But the beautiful girl who
was struck down by an Indian bull
let that July morning. 1853 years
ago, deserves a share in that great
victory. Unwlttingly she played an
important role in mighty drama. So
Jane McCrea did not die in. vain.

ant of the valorous Miles Standish OF
Pilgrim fame. The Indians then dis
covered the two women in the cabin,
entered it and dragged them out.
Standish saw them rushing their pris-
oners along the trail up the hill to
place where they had two horses.
They tried to place the women on
these mounts and easily seated Jane
McCrea on one. But fat old Mrs.
Mcneil was a different proposition
and, try as they could, the savages
could not lift her into the saddle.
Meanwhile the others led Jane Nc
Crea away and, as she and her cap
tors passed near the spot where STAN
dish was held captive, he saw two of
them engaged in an angry dispute.
Suddenly one of them turned and shot
her from the saddle, scalping her as
she fell. Then, according to their saw
age custom, they stripped her of the
wedding finery,, in which she was 60
ing to meet her lover, and mutilated
her body horribly. They then contin-
ued on to Burgoyne's camp, where
they told what had happened and ex-.
hibited her scalp.
While this was taking place fat old
Mrs. Mcneil was having her troubles.
Although she had not been injured by
her captors, they had stripped her to
a single undergarment and in this she
appeared in camp where the Indian
turned her over to her cousin, General
Fraser. That officer was much en-
barrassed, for he was not able to find
in camp any women's clothes large
enough for Mrs. Mcneil. Finally, out
great coat large enough to cover her.
All the while he was forced to listen
to a torrent of abuse from the irate
old lady because of her treatment at
the hands of his "rascally Indians"
But this comic aspect of the affair
soon became a tragic one when Jane
McCrea's scalp was shown to her.
She recognized it at once, as did David
Jones, who then learned of the fate of
his bride-to-be. Upon being informed
of what had taken place, General Bur-
goyne Immediately held an inquiry, or
dered the Indians to hand over the
murderer, put him under arrest and
announced his intention of executing
him. But st. Luc, the French-C Cana
dian leader of the Indian allies, in
formed the general if he did that the
Indians, who were already resentful of
Burgoyne's efforts to restrain them
from the atrocities which they had
been committing against the settlers
would desert in body and go home,
probably solacing themselves by kill
ing any whites they found. whether
Loyalist or Patriot. So Burgoyne
yielded to st. Luc and pardoned the
slayer.
1t is doubtful if even the loss of his
Indian allies would have been as Sc
we're blow to his hopes as were the
results of the murder of Jane McCrea.
From the beginning of his expedition
the excuses of his savages had
brought down upon him criticism in
England and furious denunciation by
the Americans. Patriot propagandists
had let loose blasts of scorn and bitter
anger at him because he had employed
