State legislative proposal or under the
pending child labor amendment, the
boys are hoping they will find a de-
fender who, like Gen. johnson, used to
be newspaper boy himself. There are
many such men In public life. 1t seems
likely, however, that the mass Of evi-
dence piled up during hearings on the
newspaper code will suffice to protect
their jobs for long time to come.
Howard w. Stodghill. Chairman Of
the Newspaper Boy Welfare Committee
Of the International Circulation Man
ayers Association, was one of the prin-
cipal speakers for the 588, 287 newspaper
boys in America.
Little Merchant.
Among other things, Mr.. Stodghill
stated:
The carrier boy of today is a little
merchant He buys his papers at the
wholesale rate and diSpoSes Of them at
the retail rate. His profit depends on
the difference between what he pays
for his papers and that which he COL
lectS. He is merchant, salesman, de-
liveryman, credit man and collector
All the fundamentals of business are
included in the ordinary pursuance of
his newspaper work. Surely the boy
who learns business fundamentals, who
meets human nature, who learns the
value of business places on dependability,
honesty, courtesy and promptness, is
better equipped to make his way in the
world than is the youngster who secures
his education wholly within the four
walls of the school room.
The work the boys are doing for
newspapers might we'll be added to the
curricula of the schools. Certainly the
correlation of practical business train
ing with academic work is a desirable
thing"
Gen. Johnson apparently believed
Mr.. Stodghill and the newspaper boys
right, and he's backing them up. The
code, however, is still pending, not yet
having been sent to the President for

INVENTOR PLANNING
BELT TO SPAN U.S.
Youth Seeks Works Sum to
Aid Him in Building
Novel Machine.

The 20-year-old Western farmer who
has been advising the Public Works
Administration on the construction OF
a transcontinental belt for passengers,
freight and mail. which would travel
at the rate of 500 miles per hour and
run the railroads out of business, has
solved some of the difficulties of his
proposal he explained in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Public Works Ad-
ministrator IckeS.
The young man some time ago sug-
geSted that this gigantic transportation
system stretching across the country
would reduce the cost of travel and
shipment Of goods almost to a mini
mum, and asked that the Public Works
Administration undertake it.
In today'S letter, he revealed that one
Of the questions involved. the unload
ing of passengers and freight when the
belt was travelling at 500 miles an hour,
could be solved with erection of auxil-
larry belts which would travel at a speed
approximating that of the main belt,
the goods transferred at that speed, and
then slowed down for unloading pur-
poses.
He would like to see 200-foot rollers
at either end and the belt provided with
rudders to keep it in its course.
1t might also be necessary. he sug-
gests, to have aviators riding the belt
at 50-mile intervals.
In a three-page letter, the young in
ventor went into many details for MIR.
1ckes' benefit and suggested that when
the conveyor is completed that another
belt be constructed to run through the
shakespeare between New York and
Paris This further development, he
said, would be capable of making 800
miles an hour
The Public Works Administration has
sent the young man the proper forms
for application for loan to build his
belt.

Members of the two commissions
reached the general conclusion that the
scheme for the plaza should be re-
studied and this will be done by the
experts. There is agitation at present

ment employees in the plaza, either
above ground or as subterranean de-

such portions of the great plaza as are
now feasible carried out as soon as pos

planned, would be the cleaning out of

There is no dispute between the two
sides as to the inventory, although the
commission regards some of the items
1t contains as not used and useful in
the public service" while the companies
have so included them.
Two Major Differences.
1t is said there are two major diff
ferences in the original cost estimates
of the commission and the companies.
One is engineering costs and the other
interest during construction. For many
years the companies did not set up &C
counts for either, and although they
are both recognized as legitimate, the
commission has adhered 10 the COM
panies' own practices in setting up their
books. The company experts say the
old books should be reformed so as to
treat them as if these costs had been
separately accounted for at the begin
ming. The result of these differences.
naturally, would be a larger figure in
the companies original cost estimates
than in the commissions.
Other testimony yet to come from
the companys side will relate to going
concern value, working capital, cost Of
financing and depreciation. The only
part of the case on which both sides
have offered testimony is the land ac-
count. After the companys case is in,
the commissions witnesses will have
their say. Thus far there are $500
pages of stenographic transcript and 43
exhibits in the record, with the case
not as much as half completed. 1t is
hoped to have it over with by Christmas.

that sometimes We go around and puy

only factor which influenced producer

A A. Potter, a producer, then asked
McGill if he had not suggested the
charity contribution because Senator
King was replacing Senator Capper Of
Kansas as chairman of the District
Committee. The association secretary
replied that he had not, but made the
statement he thought Senator Capper
was the best friend the farmers have
in the State"
McGill supplied the committee with
figures as TO the amount of first, second
and third class milk allotted to each of
the association directors. He showed
hat some directors are permitted to ship
over 90 per cent of their milk as basic "
with no third class, while others snip
less than 40 per cent first class and
more than so per cent third class.
