small Southern town. Nor will
these new river boating days re-
semble those at present on the
Mississippi, where huge tugboats
drag six, nine and twelve barges
up and down the Mississippi.
The barge lines of the Missis-
sippi merely run north and south,
tending to duplicate the railroad
facilities and merely forming one
more traffic artery between cities.
When IVA has completed its
transportation plans, the Ten
nessee River will have a multitude
of smaller, faster boats which can
make two or three stops an hour
at isolated landings along the
rivers course.
Water transportation is always
thought of as slow. This is not
necessarily true considering the
tremendous improvements of re-
cent years in marine engines and
construction. There is no techni-
cal reason why the freight boats
of the Tennessee. RIVER can not
ply up and down passing, through
the locks at the various dams and
averaging 20 to Is miles an hour.
THIS is off in the future now,
4 but it is practical Automo-
bile trucks will cooperate with
these small units of water trans
portation, meet the boats at the
landings after the trucks have
picked up the goods from the back
country. The boats will then
transfer the freight to one of the
large cities on the river where the
railroads will pick it up.
As the Tennessee Valley de-
velops by such a transportation
network, the railroads will re-
ceive much larger tonnages than
they now do.
With a larger volume of freight
moving on the railroads. it may
then be possible 10 make read
justments in the rate schedules
without loss to railroad investors.
This, then. is the future trans
portation picture Of the Tennessee
Valley. 1t is an integral part of
the whole IVA plan and the les
sons learned there may be ap-
piled elsewhere in the United
States in coming years.
Tomorrow: IVA and Power.

Porra which used to throw prisoners to the sharks
or kick them out OF an automobile and shoot them
IN the back for attempting to escape.

would have law to cover the situation. In Lou-
sana Hueys Governor has authority to issue a form
of amnesty known parole to any one he thinks
ought to be turned loose.
This was done in one conspicuous case of Long
man who slugged a member Of the opposition with
a pistol and broke his skull. The Long man was
convicted in court, but pulled out of his pocket
parole signed in advance, handed it up to the Judge
and walked out of court free. This case demon
strated net only the efficacy of the parole law but
HueyS willingness to make use of it.
Just now, HUey is trying to talk down the die
tatorship realizing that it might frighten off
cruits 70 his hare-the-wealth movement. Share
the-wealth is the bait. Once the recruits are in
and the dictatorship is extended to Mississippi

VXTHEN you wear shoes that are too tight, and
w particularly shoes that are too short, the toes
are likely to be forced back into that right angle
position that is called hammer toe Of course,
some children are born with hammer toes.
For either form-that is, whether the child is
born with hammer toe develops it later as a. re-
suit of wearing the wrong kind Of shoes-the treat
ment is essentially the same.
One method of treatment Of hammer toe IS
simply to amputate the whole toe. We really get
along quite we'll with three or four toes, yet, OF
course there are many people who do not like to
lose any sections of the body unless absolutely
necessary.
For these persons there are available other opera
lions which little more complicated.
TN one of the methods the toe is opened and the
i small bone in the toe nearest to the foot is
removed
As a result of this operation, the hammer toe
disappears but of the joint becomes ineffec-
tive and the toe can be bent either upward or down.

shoes most of the time.
This operation, however. is not nearly good

NAL toe after the operation. In Of these the
tendons are operated on and the toe is put in
spnt which holds il IN proper position as it heals.
TN another the joint involved is operated on with
i the result that the toe appears normal and is
able to grip the ground like normal toe, although
there may be stiffness in the joint after the
operation.
This type of operation is not exceedingly diff
cult. and any of the who specialize in opera
tons bones and joints should be able TO perform
it satisfactorily in most instances.
In developing these operations, new instruments
and splnts have been invented which aid the doctor
in obtaining a more nearly perfect result.

answer is that 1t makes difference how thew feel

in the Tennessee Valley who
wishes to compete with the manu-
facturer in Ohio. Indiana, or any
other Midwestern or Eastern
state.
For instance, a stove manu-
facturer in Chattanooga, Tenn,
must pay 81 cents a hundred
pounds to ship the 594 miles to
customer in Chicago. His North
ern competitor, however, pays
only 43 cents to ship his stoves
an equal number of miles. This
is a typical case.
Industry in the Tennessee VAL
ley and the rest of the South
starts off with a serious handicap
which it must overcome if it
wishes to exist. 1t is as though
the railroads had erected a bar
ricade at the Ohio River The
Southern shipper has to climb this
obstacle before he can reach his
market.
On the other hand, the North
ern shipper simply coasts down
into the South because of this
rate advantage.
To stay in business, the South
ern industrialist must find ways
to offset this increased cost. The
easiest way seems to have been
by low wages and sweating of
labor. Hence, the South is filled
with mill villages" where low
wages are the rule and where
company-owned houses and COM
pany stores make the feudal pic
ture complete.
THUS freight rates have con-
Il tributed their part to social
maladjustment in the Tennessee
Valley. This situation is neither
the fault of the railroads nor Of
the industrialists. If the roads
are to make money, the rates on
finished products can not be low
cred without a corresponding rise
in the freight rates on agricultural
products. Such an increase would
deal a death blow to the already
staggering agriculture of the
South.
IVA is now engaged in care
full and detailed study Of this
whole problem. Its executives be-
lieve that a way can be found out
of the impasse without running
the railroads on the one hand or
permitting the continued strangu-
lation of industrial development in
the South on the other.
While it is too early as vet for
IVA to have formulated a policy,
one hears some very definite ideas,
unofficial TO be sure, about the
solution.
The Southern transportation
pattern must be changed from an
arterial system to a network which
will reach into the isolated sec
tons of the country and make
possible their development.

THE Tennessee Valley
Authority will become
as important a measuring
stick for transportation
costs as it now is for power
rates.
In attempting to set up
an economy of abundance in
the Tennessee Valley, IVA
fully realizes that transport
tation is an extremely vital
element. The old saw about
the world beating a path
to the door of the man who
makes the best mousetrap
may be quite true, but I'M
less the man has a way to
ship his mouSetraps, he
gets little benefit out of his
invention.
1t does no good for IVA to de-
velop new industries IN the VAL
ley, to rehabilitate the soil. and
to bring about a companionship
of agriculture and industry I'M
less there can be a free and mex
penSlve movement of goods within
the Valley itself and between the
Valley and the outside world.
At present, great chunks of the
10000 square miles that make up
the IVA social test tube are al
most entirely without any trans
portation facilities except the
ubiquitous mule.
The railroads east of the Mis-
SiSSippi and south of the Ohio
run almost entirely north and
south. There are great gaps be-
tween them where only muddy
and rutted highways provide the
means for moving goods.
THERE is a reason for this
Il north and south directional
trend of the railroads. The South
has always been primarily an
agricultural section. II has been
merely a raw material reservoir
for the industrial North and East.
Its transportation was origi-
nally laid out to feed these raw
materials into the North as rap
idly as possible. These railroads
are comparable to a few large
arteries running between centers
of population.
If the artery is not kept pumped
full of pulSing lifeblooo, its eff
f1ciency is impaired and the eff
fectS are Immediately felt by both
investors and the nation as
whole.
Railroad rates are a serious
problem to the new South and its
industries. The old rate system
which is still in force is based
upon the theory that the South
is strictly agricultural.
