BLAZING BEN
MAY APPEAR In
JUST One RACE
BY RICHARD c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


PALO ALTO, July 12- U.P -
The American Olympic committee
may have plans for Ben Eastman,
Stanford's Blazing Ben" of the
track, to qualify in the 800 meter
dash, but Eastman probably will
run only in the 400 meters at the
final American Olympic tryouts
here this week end.
Judging from the serious work
outs big Ben is taking daily his
400 meter race against Wee Willie"
Carr. Pennsylvania flash, will be
a classic of the current track
season. Carr handed Eastman his
first defeat in the 440-yard dash
al the I. c. 4A meet at Berkeley,
and the Stanford Ace is worried.
Ben viii run only the 400 meter
this week." Al Masters, Stanford
graduate manager, declared to-
day. IF the selection committee
wish to shift him to the 300 meter
race we will be glad to consider
the matter"
Masters announcement followed
the ruling of Avery Brundage,
president of the American Olympic
committee, that Eastman will not
be automatically qualified for the
800 meter run. Had been planned to
qualify him in this event without
requiring him to enter the tryoutS
here Friday anG Saturday.
Dink Templeton, Stanford coach,
confirmed Masters statement, ad-
ding:
IF they don't want the best man
in the world to run in the 800
meters, that's their lookout. Ben

COAL RATES GUT
. FOR VIRGINIA

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered rates on BIZ
luminous coal from mines on the
Norfolk & western and Virginia
railways to points in Virginia and
charges on this traffic from
mines on the Chesapeake & Ohio
to Virginia points reduced on or
before March 18, 1882.
The decision overruled the rail
road contention and awarded
reparation, with interest, on ac-
count of over-charges found to
have been paid in these rates.
In so doing, the commission re-
jected the railroad argument that
1T could not award reparation on
these rates because thy were es-
tabliShed under it's previous order.
The reductions apply chiefly on
coal to points in the western por-
tion Of Virginia and several des-
tlnationS in the southern section.
They range from a minimum of
10 cents ton to So cents a ton.
The complaint against the Nor
folk & Western and the Virginian
was filed by the State Corpora
tion Commission of Virginia. The
emergency freight rate surcharge
of six cents a ton. the decision
held, may be added to the re-
dHced rate prescribed in the find
ings.

NOV, NET Up

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 G.N.SO.
Only a small percentage of class
l railroads reorting November re-
suits to date, have shown greater
net operating incomes than a year
ago. In October, more than so
per cent were ahead of the pre-
viouS year.
The Pennsylvania railroad to-

507.512. Eleven months net op-
Grating income was $39, 400, ,508,
against $48,790,645 in the same

crease of $319,066 in net operat-
ing income, from $1,921,979 in
November, 1881, to $1,602,913.

RAIL TRUCK HAS
RUBBER TIRE

Rubber, extensively applied on
engineering principles in con-
struction of a new type of rail
road car wheel, is a development
jointly announced by the B. F.
Goodrich Co. and Clark Equip
ment Co. of Battle Greek, Mich.
This wheel is an important part
of the new Auto Tram" stream
lined motorized railroad vehicle
designed by engineers of the
Clark company for use on rail-
way main lines. It has a steel
tire, in contrast to the pneumatic
rubber tire of other we'll known
developments using rubber in
railroad wheels.
Rubber is used in the form of
four disks specially compounded,
and built into each wheel under
lateral compression so that the
load applied to the wheel is car
ried entirely by shear of the rub
ber, not compression. The rub
ber disks are not vulcanized to
the metal, slippage being pre-
vented by lateral compression.
The actual shear load on these
rubber disks is only seven pounds
per square inch: the engineers
say the life of the wheel is the
life of the flange and rim.
There are ten other applica-
tionS of rubber in the construc-
tion of this Auto Tram" all for
the purpose of absorbing shock,
vibration and noise.

NEW YEAR TIME
To CHECK UP
INSURANCE
By FRANK F. LOOMS

The beginning Of another year
is a most appropriate time to
make certain that you are carry
ing adequate insurance protection
Tor your family, yourself, your
property and your business.
1t would be wise to figure out
now just what income your fam
lily will need after you have gone
to enable them to live comfort
ably as during your lifetime, and
when you have done that, de,
termine if you are carrying suf.
tlcient life insurance to yield that
income on a monthly income
basis. as it is not advisable to
leave your wife a large amount
Of money payable in one lump
sum. To be sure of her continued
comfort and support, a guaran.
teed income should be arranged
Look Also To Old Age
When you have made certain
that you are carrying sufficient
protection for your family, give
some thought to yourself. Have
you made any provision for your
own later years. the years when
you are too old to- earn money?
If not, look into the retirement
income bonds, annuities and other
such contracts written by life in,
surance companies which will
guarantee you an income for life
commencing at designated age.
Are you protected against fl
nancial. loss should you become
disabled by illness or accident? q?
Health and accident insurance is
not merely another form of insur-
ance coverage, but one of vital
Importance as it protects your
earning power. the greatest as
set any man possesses. Earnings
cease when person becomes dis
abled from either sickness or &C.
cident, and this form of insurance
replaces the lost income.
If you own an automobile, fire,
theft and collision automobile
insurance are important to you
for your own protection tinan
cially, but liability and property
damage insurance are essential.
The latter forms protect the
owner in the event that he kills,
Injuries anyone, or causes dam
age to another car or any prop
erty. often large suits for
damages are brought, and unless
the car owner carries this form
of insurance, he must pay any
awards that may be given against
him, personally.
Good Time for Review
Now is the time to review your
fire insurance policies. Make a
complete inventory of your prop
erty and furnishings at their
present day value, and determine
if the stated limits in the policy
you are now carrying provide
enough protection to cover your
loss should a fire occur on your
property tonight
There are numerous other
forms of insurance coverage i'm
portant to the property owner
and business man, burglary, hold
up, business insurance, group
insurance ETC., The first of the
year is an ideal time to check up
on all your insurance needs and
take out additional coverage
where needed. Insurance is the
only commodity which cannot be
purchased when needed most and
should not be considered as an
expense. but rather as an in
veStment. "a safeguard against
the unknown hazards of life.

COLGATE EmpLOueS

The operating forces of the
Colgate Palmolive-Peet Company
at the present time are approx
mately 7 per cent larger than a
year ago. Substantially all of
the increase in force resulted
from the adoption of the five
day week by the company last
June as a means of spreading
employment.
Although Colgate-Palmolive-P Peet
has no plan for stabilzing EN-,
ployment, the company has given
steady and continuous employ.
ment to its operating forces
over a long period of years.
During the past three years and
up to the time the company
adopted the five-day week. the
number of workers employed by
the company remained almost
stationary.

AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent H. f. Eaton)
Inefficiency Not The Way Out


Economy to the point of reduc-
ing efficiency is not the way out OF
the present unsatisfactory condi-
tions for the farmer, according to
DR.. G.. F. Warren, one of the most
noted agricultural economists in
this country. DR.. Warren, who has
been head of his department at the
State College of Agriculture in New
YoRk state for 80 years, offers no
cure for our ills, but suggests that
if a man cannot beat his competi-
ton in the things he produces, he
had better shift to other things.
Beating competition means lower
ing costs. In farming, one of the
chief ways to lower costs is to pro-
duce higher yields of crops per acre
or of livestock products per animal.
To let up on any proven practices
that increase yield is to invite in
efficiency, high costs, and no profits.
Recent surveys of farm labor in
come have shown the important
relationship which crop yields have
to farm income. In several sur
veys covering periods of 20 years,
which included some bad years as
well as good ones, the labor in
come on farms which had crop
yields $50 above average was al
most double that of the average in
come of all farms. When crop
yields were 25% above the average,
