STEEL MERGER
TURNS WEST

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 GN.S).-
Officials of the Republic Iron and

spected the plants of the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company with
a view to merging that company
with the $35O,oOO.0OO steel group
controlled by the Eaton-OtiS-
Mather interests of Cleveland, ac-
Cording to reports in the financial
district today.
Spokesman for the Rockefeller
interests, which control Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, have
thus far refused comment on
rumors Of the passing of that
company from Rockefeller con-
troll but it is understood that
local Colorado officials have re-
Gently conferred in New York
with John D. Rockefeller, jr., on
the subject.
In Wall Street it was said that
acquisition by Republic Iron and
Steel Company of Colorado Fuel
and Iron would give the former a
rail mill, which is something the
consolidation has lacked thus
far.
Other prominent steel concerns
in the Eaton merger include the

FLOOD MENACE
UNREL|EvED

CHICAGO, Jan. IS 0.NS0.-
New floods were threatened along
the Wabash River through south
western Indiana and Eastern
Illinois today as ice jams dam.
med up threatening tons of water
and floating ice.
Although relief workers re.
ported that virtually all Of the
marooned families have been pro-
vided with emergency food and
clothing, the new menace of shat
tered levees and flooded villages
made rescue groups and marooned
colonies uneasy.
The ice gorge was reported to
be forming above New Haven, Ill.
Bundles Of food dropped from
airplanes brought relief in the
Decker Chapel area of Indiana
yesterday. The fliers yesterday
reported they have made contact

MAY
LOSE JUDGE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 25.-
Mayor Walter e. QuenStedt be-
lieves that Annapolis could very
well get along with the services
Of one police magistrate, instead
Of two as has been the vogue for
many years, and has launched a
movement in that direction which
he hopes will receive the backing
Of a majority Of his Republican
colleagues in the city council.
1t will probably require legiSla,
tive action to abolish one of the
offices, since appointments of
police justices are made by the
governor, upon the recommends,
ton Of the senator from the
county. or the central committee
or the party controlling the
county.
The present magistrates are
Louis M. Hopkins, who holds
forth at police headquarters, and
John w. Anderson. in the county
courthouse. Each has severed
several terms. The annual pay
and emolumentS Of each office
amounts to about $4,000. The
municipality pays $500 in each
case and the rest is borne by
the State or accrueS from fees.
By dispensing with one mag.
istrate, the mayor feels that the
$500 could be applied to better
advantage in other directions.

just arguing whether it will be
better to kill people with IL or
Is inch guns"
YES" answered Rogers, "it's
all about battleships and now
how does that affect one? Very
few folks can point to an an.

RAIL HOLDINGS
To Be S|FTED

The railroad problem was
weighing heavily upon the lap of
Congress today, with indications
that both the question of consoli-
dation and valuation of the ma
tion's giant carriers would be-
come a major legislative subject
for the next two years.
The House Interstate Commerce
Committee, clothed with author
ity by resolution passed unani-
mously by the House, announces
it would ask a fund of $4,000
to investigate holding companies
and investment trusts, and their
effect upon railroad manage
ment and consolidation.
The Senate committee was con-
fronted with recommendations of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee for a sweeping revision of
the valuation provisions of the
transportation act and a declara-
ton of legislative policy to be
followed in valuing all railroads
as a result of the Supreme Court
decision in the O'Fallon case.
The questions raised are ex-
peCted to effectively block any
action toward railroad conSolida-
ton legislation in the present
session, and probably for the
life of the present Congress.
I'VE hope we can complete
the investigation during the
present session, but there will
be no possibility of legislation, !"
said Representative Barker (RO
Of New York, chairman of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
The committee plans to create
a special investigating subcom-
mittee, employ attorneys and
other assistants and cover the
whole field, according to Parker.
With more than 100 holding
companies operating in railroad
securities and investment trusts
having huge interests, the sub
committee will direct it's efforts
especially to the influence they
exert on railroad management
and consolidation.

Therinca
 Theriaca was one of the ancient popular remedies used in the treat ment of snake bites, poisons, and for all ailments in general.
 It was compounded out of 64 drugs, mixed with honey.
 Claude Bernard, the great French physiologist, tells that when he worked in pharmacy the house. wives and old women of the district used theriacal syrup in large quan- titles.
 He was curious to know the com position of this wonder working compound, but he was never able to gratify his curiosity. The syrup was taken from a jar which never seemed to run empty it was constantly being replenished by all the old spoiled drugs and medi- clnes which were poured into 1t.
 Theriaca well epitomizes the chaos that reigned in the science Of pharmacy.
 One hundred and ten years ago, however, the medical profession in the United States took steps to bring order into this chaos by es- tablishing the United States Phar- macopoeia.
 The objectives were: ITO se- lcct from among substances which possess medicinal power those the utility of which is most fully es- tablished and best understood; and to form from them preparations and compositions in which their powers may be extended to the greatest advantage"
 The pharmacopoeia has under gone periodic revisons and hun dreds of articles once listed have been rejected.
 But of the 305 individual thera- peutic agents listed in the last Pharmacopoeia no fewer than 114 are to be found in the pharma- copoeia of 1920.
