Congressman E. w. Goss' stand opposing control of the New Eng land railroads by the Pennsylvania road interests which has received considerable support from indus trial leaders throughout this sec ton of the country during the past few days received the endorsement of the New Hampshire Manufact- urers association. The Interstate Commerce commission in Washing ton, D. C., has received a letter from the New Hampshire organi- zation seeking removal of the con- trol of the ''major railroads of New England" from the Pennsylvania railroad and the Penn Road cor poration, subsidiary.
 The interstate Commerce com mission was informed that man. ufacturers of New Hampshire op- pose any consolidation proposal of Eastern trunk line carriers which would affect the independent status of the New England railroads as it Is today.
 These same manufacturers feel that the holdings of the Pennsyl- vania railroad and Penn. corpora ton should be reduced to point aL WHICH they VIII uOI AOuBSH uO ht a position to dominate the major roads of New England. In the event of a change in the present forma- ton deemed advisable by the com mission the New Hampshire manu- facturers feel that a two-system competitive service should be built about the New York, New Haven and Hartford road and the Boston and Maine lines.
 Congressman Goss, with the backing of leading manufacturers throughout this state and New England as a whole is waging fight before the Interstate Commerce commission to prevent the control of the lines in this section going into the hands of the Pennsylvania interests.

BARCES BATTLE FOR LOW RATES
 ON MISSISSIPPI
Freight War Involves a
 Struggle With RaiI- roads for Business

Memphis, Tenn A struggle between two major transportation systems, comparative to that which occurred half a century ago when railroads drove the river packet boats from business, is in pro- gress and may result in radical changes in the business methods of the Mississippi valley.
 The contest is between the rail- roads and the barge lines, who are assisted in a minor way by truck lines from inland cities to river ports.
 Economic conditions which caused merchants and business men to attain economies in their businesses are largely accountable fo rthe struggle.

control by Pennsylvania interests would result in New England be- coming isolat d with the resulting decline in the importance of it's seap0rts and export centers. The consolidation would cause the re- routing of much freight out of New
 England and through Hell Gate to ports other than in this section. Boston. New London, Bridgeport and other shipping ports would
 suffer as well as all of New Eng land, 1t is claimed.
 With the New Hampshire manu- lecturers association now on re- cord as backing the Goss opposi- tion, hearings scheduled on the
 matter before the Interstate Com

A Sermon for Today
"Plus Ultra. I"
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

"Plus Ultra.
There remaineth yet very much land
to be possessed. Joshua, kill.
There are more things in Heaven and
earth Horatio.
Than are 6reamt of in your philosophy.
In the olden days, when Spain was
mistress of the then known seas, her
sailors reached the Pillars of Hercules,
and, thinking they had found the limits
Of the earth, they attempted TO go no
farther.
At that time Spain had engraved
upon her national coin the pillars OF
Hercules" and around these a scroll
bearing the inscription me Plus Ultra"
(no more beyond. But finally Column
bus pressed on beyond until the New
World, that for so long had been beck
oning to him in his dreams, was found.
On his return to Spain with the proofs
changed the inscription on the national
coin by dropping the NE" leaving it
simply PLUS Ultra" (more beyond).
There are not now any more new
continents to be discovered. Man has
comprised the entire globe, including
the frozen regions of the poles. But
there still are more things" in earth,
to say nothing OF Heaven, than are
dreamt of in Horatio's philosophy. We
live in a world of inexhauStible secrets
and wonders, most full Of novelty
where most explored" To become a
discoverer you need not go beyond the
common way over which you walk daily.
Every foot Of the whole earth Is filled
with hidden marvels waiting to be
found. In all that pertains to material
progress there are all sorts of new
worlds" challenging us TO more beyond.
When we look above this mundane
sphere, how vast are the regions that
remain to be explored and possessed.
We are as yet only on the outer fringe
Of the spiritual universe. In this sphere
we have the Bible to light us along the
way Of discovery and progress, and it
gives us the key words thereto-"ask,"
seek" knock" And the Bible never
leaves us to feel that there Is no more
beyond" no more to be known, no more
to hope for. 1t keeps us always looking
forward from day to day to promises of
greater enlightenment and larger ex-
periences in divine grace and truth, and
ultimately to the hope whereof we are
told Eye hath not seen, ear hath not
heard; neither have entered into the
heart Of man the things God hath in
store for them that love Him.

lemon Juice does most toward keeping
white. Keep q bottle Of this on the
kitchen sink and another in the bath
room where it will be handy to use each
time you wash your hands.
One Of the best ways to gain beauty
for hands which appear large and bony
is to coat them every night for several
nights In succession with good oily
food cream. After coating the hands
generously put on an old pair OF gloves,
keeping these on overnight so that the
cream may be left on the hands. Cut
the palms Of the finger tips out Of the
gloves for ventilation.
It is difficult for the housewife to
keep her hands in good condition If
she uses hard water continually. If
YOU add a little cornmeal or oatmeal
to the water in which you wash your
hands, I am sure you will ind that 1t
helps greatly, as this SoftenS the water.
Wear rubber gloves when possible.
In addition to giving your hands the
regular care suggested above, weekly
bleaching pack is also very good. To
make the pack use four tablespoonfuls
of cornneal or oatmeal, one tablespoon
full lemon Juice one tablespoonful per-
oxide and mix to a smooth paste with
buttermilk, rosewater or witch hazel
In using the paste, first wash the hands
and dry thoroughly; then massage with
a tissue cream. Remove the cream ana
apply the paste evenly to tne hanos
and also to the arms. Leave IL on lot
half hour or longer if you have the
time and then wash of in tepid water.
Dry the skin and pat on a mild hand

entirely dry. LOIS LEEDS.

Everyday Psychology
Time.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Time.
When Shakespeare said that time
was measured by heart throbs, not by
figures on q dial, he stated q funda-
mental human problem-the problem
OF psychological time. The central
factors Of psychological time are oc-
cupation or interest on the one hand,
and emotion or feeling on the other.
AS We grow older the years seem
to grow shorter. That's because of
the presence Of interesting or urgent
things to be done. If one is busy,
time flies. -ne psychological law Is:
Time filled with varied and inter-
esting experiences seems short in pass
ing, but long as we look back"
Suppose that as we grow older, we
have nothing to do, nothing to think
about. The hours, days and weeks
seem Ike so many different kinds Of
eternities. The psychological law Is:
Empty time seems long in passing
and short as we look back"
Now for the emotional factor. When
the emotions. such as anger, fear or
horror, are aroused, q very brief period
OF time seems TO run from everlasting
to everlasting. The explanation is this:
history of man; they are psychological
processes that required thousands, per.
haps millions, of years to be laid
down in the human nervous system.
During periods of emotional stress, We
seem to live through this long past.
to assemble it all into one brief period.
The psychologists conclude that what
we call time is not an unbroken duraS
tion, but q series of very small dura-
tions, all of which have meanings OF
their own, depending on how we are
occupied intellectually or emotionally.
The shortest observable bit Of time
Is about 1900 Of q second.

BY SALLY MONROE.

AT all seasons of the year canned to-
= matoes are good friend Of the
housekeeper and cook.
In Winter, when fresh tomatoes are
expensive, canned tomatoes give just
the tang and flavor to our meals that
they often lack. They are just as good
of course, as fresh tomatoes for flavor
in soups and Stews and other meat
dishes. And tomato jelly salad is really
just as good as fresh tomato salad
when tomatoes are too expensive to al
ford.
At this time of year, too, when fresh
asparagus Is still beyond cur reach or
only an occasional treat, when fresh
Summer vegetables are tantaliZingly still
In the future, when our appetites crave
something q little stimulating and dif-
ferent, we can call on canned tomatoes
for just what we need.
Here are some good recipes fo- va
rious meals that you may be able to use
to make your Springtime food more in
teresting:
Tomato Rabbit.-Put q tablespoonful
Of butter in the frying pan and when
melted add q chopped onion and let
cook five minutes Add one cupful OF
tomatoes and cook two minutes and
then strain. In another dish melt two
tablespoonfuls OF butter and add TWO
tablespoonfuls of flour and three-quarters
cupfIsi of rich milk Cook until thick
and smooth, then add two cupfuls OF
thinly shaved American cheese. the
strained tomato and one-half teaspoon
full of mustard with salt and paprika to
taste Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Add two slightly beaten eggs, cook just
one minute and serve on heated crack
ers or toast.
Tomatoes and Eggs.--Grease muffin
tins; put one thick slice of unpeeled to-
mato into each tin: season with salt
and pepper; break one egg OH top of
each slice; again season with salt and
pepper and put small piece of butter
on top Of each egg. Bake in oven I'M
til egg is set, but not hard. Serve on
rounds of toast and garnish with pars-
ley.
Spanish Tomatoes--Four eggs, one
cup canned tomatoes, three tablespoons
butter, one tablespoon sugar, pinch OF
salt. Simmer tomatoes and sugar five
minutes Melt butter in saucepan and
add tomatoes, salt and eggs slightly
beaten. Cook until it is Of creamy and
even consistency, always stirring from
the bottom OF the pan. Serve with
whole-wheat bread or brown-bread
toast. The toast may be cut In triangles,
circles or squares.

tomato, one tablespoon Of flour, three
eggs, one small onion, cayenne pepper,

man to have called anybody darling.
Yet there was that about his manner.

and that is what am really thinking
about" You couldn't trust him, and
his whole manner distracted you from
your work. He never had any success
working with women. He wasn't un-
reasonable-he simply was uneasy. It
was said he had married for money and
his marriage was unhappy.
A man like this never gives q woman
any important work to do. Sometimes
If the work Is easy he hires pretty girls

never give big job to a woman.

am always somewhat shocked when
readers doubt that / have children.
When readers address me as Miss" or,
perchance, as Dear Sir" I am as
founded.
A mother Of two has evidently found
clues to my. past experiences in this
department, for she writes:
II do enjoy your articles and feel
sure you must have children of your
own. have a boy of years and a
baby Of 6 months. do not believe in
making little machines of my children.
but have a schedule which I follow
and things seem to go very well that
way.
Now for a question. How much
milk, water and sugar should the baby
be getting? He weighed Z pounds 7
ounces at birth and now weighs 81
pounds. He has one tooth, can raise
himself to a sitting position and sits
we'll without assistance. He is strong
and healthy, and it seems to me he
should be getting some soft foods, such
as cereal. I give him six ounces of milk
and two of water, with a pinch of
sugar, five times daily. How is his
weight"
Indeed. have children-three OF
themi No longer babies, to be sure, for
the Oldest is my assistant and youngest
a junior in high school. But have
not forgotten their infancy and its
problems by any means. No wonder
shudder when readers address me as
Dear Sir"
The baby weighs about what the
average 1-year-old child should. He
should be having 80 ounces of undi-
luted milk given in four Bounce feed
ings. II he had a greater variety of
foods he would not need a night feed
ing. Bottle at 6, orange juice at 9,
cereal and bottle at TO- vegetables and
bottle at 2, cereal and bottle at 8 is
the regular routine for a baby OF this
age.
Because you have been late in start
ing these additional foods, you will have
to introduce them one at time, just
as II the child were several months
younger. Send me a self-addressed,
stamped envelope for our early feeding
leaflet, which covers feeding from to
IL months.
Mrs. B. A. writes: MY baby is s
months old. weighed 8 pounds and S
ounces at birth and now weighs 16. She
sleeps 1872 hours at night, hours in
the morning and 2 in the afternoon. 1
don't know how long she would sleep If
1 didn't waken her. I have been told
she sleeps too much"
1t is unusual for a child of months
to sleep 17i2 hours out of the "a. In
fants sometimes do not average this
much. While the 6-months-old baby
above far exceeds months weight,
! your baby has not kept up to schedule.
Babies weighing over 8 pounds at birth
should weigh about 1712 pounds at 6
months. Why not have the baby thor
oughly examined to discover why she
sleeps so constantly and always has to
be wakened? I should not ignore this
unusual condition.

Rhubarb Sauce.

The simplest way to cook rhubarb is
usually the most delicious but care
must be taken to conserve the flavor
and color as much as possible. Young
rhubsrb is best when cooked in an
earthenware casserole. A strip Of sugar
and water should be made and the
evenly cut pieces Of rhubarb cooked in
this strip until tender. Then remove
the pieces of rhubarb separately with a
spoon. and pour the strip over them.
An additional flavoring can be added in
the form of ginger. lemon rind or a
small piece of stick cinnamon, to be
removed when the fruit is cooked.
