erations this year." per cent fewer
cattle were on feed in cornbelt

Rails attracted a little support
apparently based on action OF the
House in passing the compromise
transportation bill which would put
water carriers under the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The flaw
in the measure. from the standpoint
of the railroads, is the revised pro-
vision that displaced employees in
consultations who have been on
the pay rolls for four years must
be paid wages for four years more.

pected Taft to keep on driving in a
Rooseveltian direction. He intended
to assist in the selection of Taft's
cabinet, and considered his sue
cessor morally obliged to continue
the Big Stick" policy of vigorous
liberal reforms. Confident that Taft
would cooperate III these matters,
Roosevelt departed, in 1908, for a
two-yeaT African hunting trip.
Roosevelt returned from Africa
in 1910 to find his old favorites
gone from the White House. Under
Taft. the rousing battle against
"malefactors Of great wealth" had
d,;indled to an uneventful Skin
mish. Roosevelt observed the many
changes with growing anger
Justly or unjustly. the aggres-
sive Roosevelt regarded his sue
cessor as undu!y conservative and
therefore unfair to The liberals who
had backed him in 1908. Taft, for
his part, suffered from the unfor-
tunate contrast of Roosevelt's dy-
manic administration with his own
quiet and methodical one. Soon the
liberal Republicans had branded
Taft an "Old Guard candidate,

 Fl Paso, Tex, March 6-(UP)-I am known for having one of the finest one track minds in this coun. try.
 When I go to a baseball game, I write about baseball, talk about base- ball and think about baseball. When I go to cat show I write about cats, think about cats and even purr when pass a warm fire.
 So can't help writing about tour- ing across country in an automobile today. That is just what am do- ing, accompanied by one of the worlds foremost backseat drivers, who has to sit in the front seat be- cause of her hat boxes, her coat bags, he shoe boxes, her travelling case, her presents for friends. And, last but not least, her purchases along the road.
 A fortune awaits the man who can invent attractive blinkers for women who tour in cars. As 1t Is now, women are capable of spotitng bargains in every conceivable line of merchant l>diSe as far as a mile of the highway.
 Give woman her head on 8 cross country tour and 8 man couldn't drive from California to Florida within a year. And when he finally completed the journey 1t would be in 8 freight car, surrounded by wonderful bargains"
 VxYRavy %I%nk xs,asAaa,a $ASYwssaer iSH automobiles always get hungry and thirsty and demand to stop immedi- ately after 8 man has used every bit of his skill in passing enormous trucks, busses, and mammoth road scraping devices Hell hath no fury like woman who wants to stop and is argued out of stopping.
 The selection of an eating place Is another cross that the male cross country traveller has to bear. When you have lost precious time by pull ing up, and letting those other fel- lows pass you, and then are informed that the napery is not clean enough, or that there is nothing on the menu 1t to eat, you go grimly on until, strictly from hunger, you settle on roadside place where the napery is not clean and there isn't anything on the menu fit to eat.
 Tomorrow we have some 800 miles to drive to get to Dallas, and I can already hear the trucks and busses roaring by our portable bargain base- lnent, as my wife quizzes the natives as to whether 1t is real wool, whether the bedspread is all handwork, and If they grind their own meat for the hamburgers.
 P. s. (written by Jean McLemore): A one-track mind is right. If he had his way it would be nonstop, ron- eat, non-sleep marathon between California and Florida. And then I'd have to spend the rest of my life hearing him tell what good time he made on the trip.
