"HYSTERICAL EXPERIMENTS"

No one" exclaimed Col. Frank Knox in accepting the Republican vice presidential nomination at Chi cago can explain the New Deal or economic plan ming but everyone knows what came out of it' Yes all who read the business pages of the newspapers For the issue of the Chicago Tribune which devoted pages to the Colonels performance, describing how it led off with hour and half of the best vaude vile acts the nation affords displayed Associated Press dispatch from New York under this heading "155 Companies Net Profits 61 Per Cent Above Year Ago"
 The Roosevelt administration, Colonel Knox thun- dered, embarked "hysterical experiments;" is controlled by fanatcs" lis usurping the powers of Congress nsulted the authority the courts under mined the institutions of sef-government" it has abused and vilified businessmen" it has failed ut terly and hamstrung the revival of enterprise! In an almost apoplectic outburst of abuse, the Colonel declared; People want recovery not rhetoric"
 On of his courtesy visits" to Governor Landon at Topeka Colonel Knox had announced to the press that he would carry the burden of the cam pagn. The correspondents freely ascribed to him

 In his darts and dasheS of acceptance the Chi cago colonel was evidently attempting to do what he felt beyond the powers of his chefain the ticket And he loved it.

INNOCENT R. R. FARES ORDERED
 CAUSE NO KICK
Officials of 1. C. C. Are Surprised Bus Lines
 Are Making Cuts

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9. The day after the Intedstate Commerce Commission ordered the two-cent railroad fares into effect, commis- sion employees went to their offices expecting a storm of, protest from the bus companies. None came.
 Now two months have passed and still no complaints.
 Instead, the bus companies set about systematically cutting their own rates about as far below the new railroad rates as they had been below the old ones, roughly averag- ing about a half cent.
 Why didn't the bus companies kick? Didn't the lower rates on the railroads promise to take part of the bus traffic? Commission staff members solved it ultimately tc their own satisfaction. They recall ed that many of the major bus companies are owned or controlled by the railroads with which they are in competition. so there was not much sense in obJeetihg

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, le36

I According to astrology this is an unimportant day in planetary di- rection. It is time to follow rou- tine work and to complete what ever has been neglected. Farmers and workers of many classes are subject to a configura- tion that foments discontent. The epidemic of unrest will spread rapidly in the coming fortnight, it is forecast.
 Youth is under a promising sway that seems to presage service to the nation in both civic and military organizations. Old leaders now will pass rapidly from the scenes of their life interests.
 As business promises to be greatly stimulated through the autumn months this day should be fortu- nate for plans and decisions that relate to constructive measures.
 Women today are well directed by the stars. In politics they are to be prominent and helpful, but they may clash with men who are party leaders.
 This is an suspicious wedding day. Marriages on this date should bring to women the responsibilities that they most covet including the es- tablishment of artistic homes.
 Whatever builds confidence and trust should benefit under this con- figuration. The courage and even foolhardy daring of the young is likely to be rewarded in coming months.
 While there may be certain re- sponse to the excitement of military and naval movements among young Americans a growing sentiment against war will be apparent before the end of the year.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a trying year, but the stars smile upon financial af- fairs. They should be cautious in speech
 Children born on this day prob ably will be realists who find suc- cess in practical work. Subjects of this sign usually are exceedingly intelligent.
 Valentine Mott, surgeon, was born on this day 1785. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, 1853; Samuel L. Mitchell, scientist, 1764.

Knox's bitterly partisan attack on the Roosevelt measures of recovery and reform.
 After such treatment of truth it is a safe infer that the listening public expected no ntmation to proposals of policies from the colonel For with all his adoration of unrestrained freedom of action he seemed eminenty consistent in dropping more hints than did Governor Landon week earlier or the Cleveland platform of mid-June He didn't expect anybody to expect anything. There not single syllable on single pending issue. Only the flame of recovery that had begun to burn in the summer of 1932"-which one could see smell.
 In that flame in Colonel Knox's Chicago alone IT banks closed during July 1882 with deposits of SIP 333 796 of which more than 10 million is still tied up Five of the F have not repaid a penny to depostors.

EXPECT COURT APPEAL

Members of the commission ex- pect that before long the railroads will ask the Supreme Court to de- eide whether they can be ordered to grant rates which they contend are below compensatory levels.
 There is another factor in the lowered rates that commission staff members suspect may interest auto mobile manufacturers and dealers. The commission computes that about seven per cent of the na- tion's travel is by rail and three to four per cent by bus, leaving about 90 per cent principally to automobiles. ss < ssa 9 i < How deeply will the low rates cut into the automobile travel. and so, into the demand for automobiles?
