Gle will not leave my soul in
hell" sings the psalmist.
There are hellish things in this
world, which plague us, torture us,
and make our life misery. 1t is the
work of religion to turn the thoughts
of men to God, in order that God
may save them from the sorrows
with which they are encompassed.
Doubt is an agoniZing thing.
do not mean the wholesome doubts
we may have about the efficiency of
the theologians to teach us all things,
but that terrible doubt which touch
es the validity of life and the exist
ence of God and of good. When a
man believes in nothing and no one,
there can be no happiness for him.
Remorse is thing that has the
flavor of hell about it. The past
rises up and haunts us. Old deeds
are done and cannot be undone, vet
we worry, and regret, and vainly
wish we had been wiser.
Sorrow meets each one of us
somewhere on our way. Amidst the
arrows that fly by day and the pest
Hence that walketh at night, it will
be strange if none come nigh us. The
heart is bowed down. The Tilt and
/ lift of life is taken away. and we sit
in heaviness of spirit. rebellious and
alone. That is a kind of hell on
earth.
But thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell" This ancient poet turned
toward God. He lifted up his eyes
unto Him. And he found rest unto
his soul.
There is a power in this world
which makes for the healing of our
wounds and the lifting up of our
hearts. The mischances of life come
to all alike. The man who knows
God can bear them for he knows
they will not Cypress him long.

DECREASE. IN RATE
ON GRAIN LIKELY
|. c. C. Expected to Put
Lower Freight Charges
Into Effect Soon.
BY CHAs. P. sHAEFFER,


Speedy action by the Interstate COM
merce Commission toward putting into
effect lower freight rates on grain Is
probable as soon as legal technicalities
are cleared away.
The revised rates. estimated by menu
bers OF the commission to reduce earn
ings Of Western railroads by Sl5,O00,-
600 or more a year, were ordered last
July Is after long Investigation
Under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission decision, the rates were ordered
into effect on October /. However, sey-
eral postponements we're granted the
railroads on the plea they had been
given insufficient time to rearrange their
schedules.
The last postponement gave the rail-
roads until June to carry out the
commissions order Before that date,
however, Western railroads obtained a
temporary Injunction restraining the
commission from putting the revised
rates into effect. ~
The injunction was dissolved on
Tuesday by the United States District
Court at Chicago. If no appeal is
taken, another order is expected soon
from the commission. If the railroads
appeal. there would be additional delay

luton approved by Congress in 1925,

ordered the commission to investigate
the general freight-rate structure, with
view to giving agricultural products
the lowest possible lawful rates consist
ent with service rendered by the rail-
roads.
Hearings we're held in every section
Of the West, and arguments were made
before the commission in Washington
two years ago. The arguments lasted
three weeks, which established a record.
1t was said at the commission today
that action would be expedited in every
way possible. The present unsettled
condition of the case, it was added, af-
fects the Grain Exchanges. 1t was in
dicated no further time extensions
would be granted the railroads.
! The revised rates would apply to
grain and grain products in the West
and for xport. Some increases were al
lowed, but. in general, the decision
ordered reductions in the freight
charges

STOCKS DEPRESSED
AS MARKET CLOSES
List Weakens in Last Hour
as Buying Orders
Decline.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2.-Weakening In
the last hour, after session of rela-
tive firmness. but great inactivity. the
stock market closed slightly lower to-
day. There was no particular pressure
to sell, but there was no buying inter-
est either and the list gradually sagged
toward the end.
The trading lacked feature. unless the
small volume could be called feature.
Professional opinion was inclined to the
selling side and that the reaction did
not make more Roadway than it did
was reaSsuring. The turnover was
lower than at any time In two weeks.
Irregularity at the opening was fol-
lowed by slowly-rising trend. which,
however, was interrupted by realizing
before noon, leaving the list up to that
time not much changed on the day
There could be no doubt about the
nervousness of the short interest and
it was their buying which was response,
above 104 and for the movement In
Johns Manville With a holiday APP
preaching, it was claimed that COM
mitments for the decline were being
retired.
Speculation for Rise.
In addition to this covering move
ment there was speculation for the rise
in Woolworth and in American d. For
eign Power, in International Telephone,
in which pool is said to be operating,
and in various other utilities. Standard
Gas was a favorite in this part Of the
list. Consolidated Gas. American Tele-.
phone and United Corporation gained
moderately. Buying kept up in United
Aircraft.
Aside frNh the foreign situation
there was not much news to affect
prices. Copper metal was offered at
8h cents, against 812 Wednesday, and
the copper stocks were shade lower
but they were not weak. Chicago re-
ported an advance in gasoline prices
The oil stocks were firm. but that was
all. What the oil industry is watching
is the situation in Texas, where, II
proration can be enforced, a turn for
the better is certain.
So far as the Franco American nego-
tiations were concerned. the news dis
patches had an uncertain ring, but the
market put the best possible interpre-
tation upon them. 1t was encouraged
by the fact that the London and Paris
exchanges held so well and the general
opinion was that an agreement would
be reached, although no one ventured
to speculate as to detail
Rail Stocks Dull.
Railroad stocks were very dull, but
with more advances than declines. The
strength in junior railroad bonds was
helpful There were also few favor
able news items from the railroad field
one of which was an increase in car
loadings reported by the ST. Paul
Another was the larger orders for freight
cars for June compared with May and
compared with June year ago
Money was in excessive supply The
official rate was maintained at IL per
cent, but funds were available in the
outside market at l per cent.

Russia,s extensive coal survey. SAID IN
an interview today that the SOVIET gov
eminent is striving to initiate not only
American industrial methods, but also
American standards Of living.
Mr.. Stuart Is in New York from ms
aemi-annual visit to Russia.
He declared that the most mpor-
&ant step taken by the Soviet govern
rnent In recent months was the estaD-
lishnsnt of a competitive basis between
the state-owned industries OF RUSSIA.
This means that rather than being SUP
sidized by the government treasury, tne
soviet industries henceforth must make
their own way in much the same way
that private business corporations do IN
the United Ststes, he explained.

eff imitation is a form Of fiattery,
the United States may feel hlgnly
complimented for having furnished
many of the motives actuatlng the
soviet government In its efforts to
speed up the industrial development OF
Russia" he said.

ment Of its coal industry, Russia Is

Declaring that the world need not
fear a wholesale dumping" OF Russian
goods on the international markets for
many years to come. Mr.. Stuart said:
Russia today is exporting only
what is essential to pay for purchases
made in other countries. For every
dollars worth of foodstuffs, grain. or
other products exported from Russia. q
dollars worth of machinery OF ma
terials not produced in Russia is being
imported, principally from the United
States, Germany and England.
Coal Shortage Threatens.
Reviewing the report which his Arm
recently made to the Supreme Eco
nomic Council of the Soviet govern
ment, Mr.. Stuart declared that the
threatening shortage of coal Is the
major industrial problem confronting
Russia today.
Russias coal production has Jagged
behind its industrial expansion. with
the result that there is q serious dan
ger of insufficient fuel TO run the very
industries it has FASTENED to build UP
under the famous flve-year plan, he
added.

DISTANCES are great and transpor-

years before Russia can take care OF
her own primary needs, and that II tne
government attempted to ignore those
needs 1t would cost them so mucn 20

Sees No Threat In Steel.
"When YOU realize that this great

capacity of 100000 tons OF open
hearth and bessemer steel per year,
could put that whole capacity into steel
rails for the whole life OF the plant
without producing enough to give RUS
