NEW YEAR
on WHEELS
BY Helen Morton

IIT UST one more mountain
range to cross" Mac said to
his sister, Josephine, as they
got into their car one clear bright
morning. They had been travelling
forever, it seemed to her. They
wanted to reach California and re-
store Mac to health.
eff we can start the New Year on
the coast, everything will be all
right" Josephine had told her BROTH
er, and she really seemed to have
a superstitious feeling that if Mac
was to get well, they must accom-
plish their trip by that time.
Stiff wind blowing through
here" Mac exclaimed, drawing his
scarf more closely about his throat
as they approached a grade.
Mountain Springs grade" Jose
phine told him. Il hope the wind
doesn't mean storm. This is the
last day of the old year
They hadn't climbed far, howev-
er. before they knew they were in
for it.
Josephine, at the wheel while Mac
rested from his morning of driving,
had to grip the wheel with fierce
intensity. The car was climbing
with difficulty. The snow was blur

We've got to make the coast"
Josephine was muttering to herself,
when she realized that Mac had

What about Fixed CHARGES I"

Borrowing is normal incident" with most
farmers Few are able to get along entirely on their
own capital.
And only under unsound conditions do debt and
interest run you into trouble. The same is true of
a railroad.
S7he rate of interest you pay must not be
too high.
The government has to it that the farmer
can borrow at low interest rates. The rates paid by
the railroads also are low even though almost all
of the money they was borrowed from private
investors.
The average rate is about AZ per cent" said
the Federal Coordinator of Transportation in his
1885 report.
The average rate of interest paid by the Great
Northern on its bonded indebtedness is less than
~ per cent.
Your Indebtedness must not be too high in
proportion to the Ualue of your property.
Government lending on farms and homes has been
limited to about three fourths of their value The
total bonded indebtedness of the railroads is less

Teacher Jumps Europe's Travel
Barriers to Reach u. S. Shores
Miss Ellen Grove Too
Busy Getting Home
To See Old World
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

The girls in the art history class
at Fairmont Junior College are hav-
ing a hard time concentrating on
the Renaissance and the ancient
Greeks these days. They'd much
rather hear what happened to their
teacher, Miss Ellen Grove, in
Europe.
And Miss Grove has story to tell.
She had been looking forward to 4
European trip for so long that on
August Is, when Americans abroad
were busily booking passage for the
United States, she ignored the dam
ger signs and started out.
She landed at Rotterdam and
thence proceeded to Amsterdam,
Brussels and Cologne. 1t was ut
Mainz that the war clouds began to
hover too close for comfort. She
learned that German trains were
to be closed to civilians the next
day, so, though she had planned to
stay longer in Germany, she left
for Geneva. What was usually a
six-hour ride took IA hours.
But that was only the beginning.
She wanted to 60 to Italy. but the
consulate in Geneva frowned on that
idea. Italy might 60 to war on the
German side, she was advised. She'd
better 60 to the country from which
her ship was to sail before the bor-
ders were closed.
Germany Acts.
At Aix-Les-Bains the next day
she heard that Germany had in
vaded Poland and that the French
trains would be closed to civilians
the following night.
Her itinerary tossed into the dis
card, she took train for Paris. That
was a jaunt. She had to sit up all
night in a second-class carriage with
six Frenchmen and a dog that had
asthma.
Three hours after she got to Paris
she had to move on because train
service was to stop that night and
she was still some distance from
Boulogne. where she was to meet her
ship. The usual three-hour ride
from Paris to Boulogne took 10
hours, the train stopping all along
the way to pick up army recruits.
She arrived at Boulogne late Sat-
urday, the day before the allies de-
clared war. The following Tues
day she learned the ship wouldn't
dock at Boulogne. She had to 60
on to Rotterdam, she was told. but
no trains were running for civilian
passengers. So she took a taxi as
far as Antwerp.
Waits Outside.
There she waited for 10 days. She
couldn't enter Holland until "a hours
before sailing time. That was re-
gulation to keep foreigners from
consuming the food the Dutch
needed in case of blockade.
Matters were complicated some
what by strike going on in Rot
terdam. The seamen wanted high
er wages and more insurance pro-
lection before they would leave port.
After the strike was over she got
into another taxi and went to Rot
terdam. Then there was slow trip
through the English Channel with a
British patrol boat guiding the cap
tain to elude the mines.
She finally landed in the United
States last Friday, having seen
very little of Europe besides the
inside Of railway stations and con-
sulates. Her main objective was
Italy and she never even crossed
the italian border.
But she's not discouraged When
the war is over she's going back
"as soon as I can get on 4 ship"
