road corporation Is supplied by the Re-
construction Finance Corporation, and
this. Mr.. Buckland says, has been a
godsend to the roads.
To what extent the railroads may
have contributed to their own difficult
ties Mr.. Buckland Is not prepared to
say, ,.
against their foresight" he laughed, in
response TO request for his views on
the criticism that some roads had made
unwise expenditures In taking over
other systems. Then he amplif1cd:
You know, before the war, those di-
recting the policies of the New Haven
spent $lO0,000,O0o for-strange as it
now seems-electric lines whose COM
petition they feared"
One place the railroads may have
made a mistake, he says, was in not
retrenching Immediately when the eco
nomic storm clouds appeared. AS he
recalls-and this point was emphasized
by the carriers in asking the freight
rate increas-the roads, in 1929, at the
request of the administration, agreed 10
continue their budgets for capital .ex-
stabilizing industry and resisting further
see recovery.
You cannot say for certain, though"
Mr.. Buckland continued what the
result would have been had the roads
done differently. 1t might have made
things worse"
Memory OF Government Ownership.
For those who vision Government
ownership as the ultimate outcome. Mr..
Buckland calls to mind conditions
brought about by wartime control.
Il think" he said, that one Of the
most tragic pages in railroad history
was the final report of Director General
Hines, which showed a deficit of some
thing like $500, 100000. Under the
agreement by which the Government
took over the railroads, they were TO
receive an annual net operating income
equal TO the average income Of the three
years preceding June 80, 1917. Conse-
qusntly, Mr.. Hines report meant that
Government operation had failed by
to meet this figure, and that the money
must come from general taxation.
This has been cut to about billion
dollars
In addition to the major factor of
economy which Mr. Buckland sees as
eventually stimulating the recovery CT
the railroads, he believes that much
may be done by co-ordinating motor
and rail service, particularly for passen-
ger carrying.
The New Haven pioneered in this
line. through a subsidiary, the New
England Transportation Co., replacing
reproductive rail routes with buses,
and the results have been satisfactory.
You can't do away with those Mr..
Buckland said, pointing to the continual
stream Of automobiles flowing by the
Transportation Building, where his
Offices are, but you can to some extent
meet them"
After all is said and done. Mr. Buck
land believes the future of ths railroads
is dependent entirely on the future of
the country; as it rises and falls, so
will its railroads.

listened to his message with the keen
est attention, however; and when he
had completed, the Senators stood and
applauded. There were those, however.
principally on the Democratic side, who
refrained from applause.
President Hoover's appearance in the
Senate to deliver in person a message
to that body was the first visit Of a
President of the United States to speak
to the Senate or the House on legisla-

President Woodrow Wilson, when he
became Chief Executive, made q prac-
tice of delivering his messages to Con-
gress orally, appearing before joint
sessions Of the House and Senate In
the House Chamber. He was the first
President since Washington to adopt
such a course. His successor, President
Harding, also delivered messages in
person to the Congress and appeared
before the Senate in the Senate
Chamber to discuss matters of i'm

his first message to Congress in person
but thereafter abandoned that method

BOY SAFETY PATROLS

One of the most effective means vet
devised for the protection of school chill
dren against traffic accidents is tt School
boy Patrols, now organized in more than
500 American communities, with total of
more than 10000 members.
The object of patrol members is to
guide their schoolmates in crossing dan
gerous street intersections in safety. 1t is
gratifying to know that as a result lof this
and other safety movements the fatalities
among children pedestrians have decreased
rs per cent in the last four years.
striking example of the fine work Of
these safety scouts" is seen in the fact that
in Washington, D. c., not single child
pedestrian has been killed in four years,
and only one or two have been slightly hurt
in four years in districts guarded by these
schoolboy patrols.
DR.. Herbert j. Stack, a nationally
known safety authority, declares that these
boys not only aid in reducing automobile
accidents. but also contribute to the de-
velopment of personal traits of self-control,
mental alertness, courtesy and considera-
ton for others.
Every school, whether in city or coun-
try, should have its schoolboy safety patrol,
composed of bright youngsters who have
sense of responsibility, and who would take
a pride in their important duties. This
could be had without any expense what
ever, and would do much toward eliminat-
ing the frightful loss of life and limb
among children on our streets and high
ways.

RETURN OF ROMANTICISM

The reading public is getting tired of
modern fiction and showing revival of
taste for the old atmosphere of clean
romance and adventure. 1t bankers for the
old romanticism and sentimentality.
It would be straining the argument to
suggest that the current list of fiction most
in demand gives definite indication that
such is the case, yet there are many traces
of such tendency. They are observable
in books, magazie stories, the movies and
on the stage.
1t was certain to come-this swing
back toward the world of illusion, peopled
by folk who could not have lived to grow
up in real life, and who act as nobody
alive ever acted. After reign of realism
there is bound to be a sharp reaction
against being offered unretouched photo
graphs instead of paintings.
Most people get enough of crime and
misery in their own lives without reading
books full of them Reading stories of life
as it might be, even though life will never
be that way, is relief and the craving for
them Is natural and sensible.
Realism is welcome relief from
romanticism, but romanticism brings, in
turn, welcome relief from realism. The
public quickly tired of the true but sordid
crime and gangster films, but recent roman
tic plays on Broadway are enjoying long
runs.

UNSUNG

Just as many a rose is born to blush
unseen, the world is forever producing pub
lie benefactors of whom society never
learns though their benefactions may make
life easier for millions in the routine affairs
of the day.
There was Louis Perlman. Russian i'm
migrant who died in New York City the
other day at the age of 10 after long and
useful life In this life he accomplished
more than merely running mans allotted
span of years, yet few persons ever heard
of him.
His greatest benefaction was the de-
mountable rim for automobile tires-a glft
only the pioneer motorist can appreciate,
although it is daily saving the time, temper
and knuckles of countless motorists. His
invention was one of the greatest single i'm
provements in automobile construction
since the introduction of the horselesS
buggy.
Changing a tire on the highway is a
matter of but few minutes and very little
effort today, whereas before Perlman's in
vention it was often a half days work.
Riding home on a flat was preferable to
changing tires in the good old days" OF
motoring, That was before 1906.
The public that likes its news in pic
lures is also indebted to Perlman, who
played an important part in the early pro-
motion of pictorial service in the news
papers.
