BENEFITS UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL Statement of Hon. W. G. McAdoo Regarding Operation of Railroads Before Interstate Committee Since competition for freight and passenger traffic between the various divisions of the government railroad system ceased with the assumption of federal control, the solicitation of traffic and special exploitation of passenger routes were discontinued. In pursuance of this policy the efforts of the soliciting forces of the various railroads were directed in other channels. In place of the separate ticket offices formerly maintained, consolidated offices have now been opened in practically all of the larger cities at which the traveling public cannot only secure rail and sleeping or parlor car transportation, via any route, but have their baggage checked at well. General freight information is also either furnished at the information bureaus or the inquiry directed to the proper department. In New York City several consolidated offices in widely separated districts have been established for the greater convenience of the public. Ninety-eight consolidated ticket offices have been opened. But three more, which will complete this program, remain, and these will be opened in the near future. These 101 consolidated offices are in lieu of and more adequately serve the public than the total of 564 passenger offices which were in existence prior to federal control. The effect of these consolidated offices has been a much better distribution of the traffic. Passengers finding that sleeping or parlor car space is not available via one route are able to select another without the inconvenience of leaving the building. Regardless of what disposition may be finally made freight terminal, and if the promptness with which cars can be handled is increased, the congestion, which has in the past so greatly reduced the carrying capacity of our entire railroad system, will be greatly relieved. In the changes made, or still under contemplation, the prime purpose has been the convenience and service to the public. The necessary adjustments may have caused some temporary dislocation, but the ultimate results will be increased efficiency and capacity. In the interest of economy railroad time-tables have been simplified and abridged, extraneous and unnecessary matter has been eliminated, and the waste which previously existed in the distribution of time-tables entirely stopped. That all unnecessary passenger travel might be restricted during the progress of the war both general and special advertising were, to a very large extent, discontinued. The annual estimated saving from these two sources is fixed at $7,000,000. During the coming year, because of the changed conditions and the possible necessity of creating passenger travel, general and particularly special advertising will to a large extent be resumed. In order to effect the prompt release of equipment and discourage the improper practice of using the cars of the carriers as storage warehouses, the national code of demurrage rules and regulations was modified and the charges increased, following the expiration of the free time allowed, which itself has not been changed, to $3 per car for each of the four days, $6 for each of the next three days, and $10 for each succeeding day. It was neither expected nor desired that any increased revenue should accrue to the railroads by this means. What was wanted and what resulted was a considerable increase in the supply of equipment, thereby made available for ed to show the proposed food and not an example economy. 64 MATRONS QUIT A GIRL Mistreatment of Inman School Related by Before State Sixty-four matrons ran California School for in a period of fifteen m there were thirty-one Privilege House at once being from one cottage.

The most surprising These 101 consolidated offices are in lieu of and more adequately serve the public than the total of 564 passenger offices which were in existence prior to federal control. The effect of these consolidated offices has been a much better distribution of the traffic. Passengers finding that sleeping or parlor car space is not available via one route are able to select another without the inconvenience of leaving the building. Regardless of what disposition may be finally made of the railroads now under federal control, these consolidated offices should unquestionably remain in existence to the lasting advantage and convenience of the traveling public. In addition to the very considerable saving effected by the consolidation of both the "on" and "off-line" ticket offices and the closing of the "off-line" freight offices, further economies have resulted through the removal of "online" commercial freight offices from private to railroad property. My report to the President, covering the seven months' period ended July 31, 1918, showed a total saving as a result of this policy of $16,566,633. To this amount a substantial sum has since been added, the detailed figures of which will be given in the regional directors' reports. For the purpose of conserving transportation energy and that every available passenger coach, sleeping car, and locomotive might be released for use in the movement of troops, and that track and terminal facilities might be cleared of unnecessary passenger trains so that essential food, fuel, war supplies, and freight of all kinds might be moved expeditiously and economically, it was decided to eliminate those passenger trains that gave a duplicate service and were run mainly for competitive reasons, and, after careful study, to eliminate a number of other trains where it could be done without too great inconvenience to the traveling public. That the comfort and convenience of the traveling public might be dismommoded as little as possible, the policy of staggering trains between commercial centers was adopted so that the traveler might be free to use the train leaving at the most convenient hour. As an indication of the saving effected, and unnecessary passenger train miles eliminated under this plan, I might mention that during the first seven months of federal control an aggregate of 21,000,000 miles a year were done away with in the territory west of Chicago and the Mississippi River, LIVING COST RISES FASTER THAN WAGES Food prices in Los Angeles have increased an average of 30 to 50 per cent in a year, while the average pay has not been raised more than 15 per cent, according to figures quoted from comparisons of prices quoted by retailers a year ago and today and from data furnished to the Examiner by the Central Labor Council. While bakers, according to union figures, haev gained a pay raise of 25 per cent in the last year, at present making $25 a week on an eight hour day basis, it is shown that painters are getting only 50 cents more per day now than they were twelve months ago. While figures were not available and regulations was modified and the charges increased, following the expiration of the free time allowed, which itself has not been changed, to $3 per car for each of the four days, $6 for each of the next three days, and $10 for each succeeding day. It was neither expected nor desired that any increased revenue should accrue to the railroads by this means. What was wanted and what resulted was a considerable increase in the supply of equipment, thereby made available for other uses. Rates of approximately 1 cent per mile for soldiers and sailors on furlough and of 2 cents per mile for soldiers and sailors discharged from the service, the latter to cover their movement from point of demobilization to the points to which they are allowed travel expenses by the government have been made effective. During the period of the war a low uniform fare was also established for workmen at all war industry plants to which special train service was operated. Because of the necessity for the further conservation of food and in order that the dining-car equipment of the carriers might be utilized to its maximum efficiency, the plan was adopted upon October 1, 1918, of serving table d'hote luncheons and dinners at a uniform price of $1, except upon a few limited trains where $1.25 is charged for dinner. The saving effected in the way of food and the increased number of meals served justified the practice. As a permanent plan, however, the table d'hote system has not yet passed the experimental stage and some modification may be found desirable. Girl is "Walk" The sensation at called to conclude the tion of the hearing by Mrs. Carrie Herrethe institution from October 24, 1918. In a broken voice one girl of 16, whose held, was confined a stage for forty-seven released, Mrs. Herserto be a "walking ice." After two days, which she was too work, the girl was nage for thirty days a minor infraction. "You're dirty little low that the citizen outside. You're in what we say"; "shuhe these phrases were ed by officers at the charges according t stated that the girl death" of the possible, the policy of staggering trains between commercial centers was adopted so that the traveler might be free to use the train leaving at the most convenient hour. As an indication of the saving effected, and unnecessary passenger train miles eliminated under this plan, I might mention that during the first seven months of federal control an aggregate of 21,000,000 miles a year were done away with in the territory west of Chicago and the Mississippi River, while in the eastern district 26,320,000 miles were eliminated. Without this saving in motive power and equipment, the millions of troops transported from one section of the countryside to another, often for long distances, could not have been handled with such signal success. Considerable progress is still being made in reducing passenger train mileage, though the closing of the war and gradual return to normal conditions is resulting in the restoration of some trains that were discontinued. The net results accomplished will be included in the reports of the regional directors. Other reforms that were and are still being worked out in the passenger service include the common use of the same terminals by railroads formerly in competition and using separate terminals. The most conspicuous example of the latter innovation is the use of the Pennsylvania Terminal in New York for through trains via the Baltimore & Ohio between Washington and New York. The same principle has been applied as rapidly as possible in the consolidation of freight terminals. The saving of switching costs that has resulted, and the greater rapidity with which cars have been handled and loaded and unloaded, is already apparent. The neck of the transportation bottle is the While bakers, according to union figures, haev gained a pay raise of 25 per cent in the last year, at present making $25 a week on an eight hour day basis, it is shown that painters are getting only 50 cents more per day now than they were twelve months ago. While specific figures were not available, it was stated that the average clerk is being paid on virtually the same scale he was in January, 1918, while the cost of living advances by rapid strides. Relative Cost of Food Through the great demand for skilled men in the shipbuilding and other war industries, carpenters are earning 20 per cent more than they did a year ago, wages having gone from $5 to $6 during the year. The increase in the cost of food is 20 per cent more than the increase in wages for electricians, who have had the pay envelope fattened 10 per cent in the year. Butchers are earning 15 per cent more than they did a year ago and slaughter house workers gained 10 per cent in the 12 months. Actual comparison of food prices, item for item, in feeding a family of three persons one year ago and today shows an increase in the cost of 28.2-5 per cent. The case represents that of a family with an income of $100 a month in January, 1918, and in which the wage earner's pay was raised to $110, or an increase of 10 per cent, against increased food cost of practically 30 per cent. While many meals in the same family were made at lower cost and some at higher, the relative figures would hold good, as it is intend- ed to show the proportionate cost of food and not an example in domestic economy. 64 MATRONS QUIT AS GIRLS ARE ABUSED Mistreatment of Inmates at Ventura School Related by Witnesses Before State Board Sixty-four matrons resigned from the California School for Girls at Ventura in a period of fifteen months; There were thirty-one girls in the No Privilege House at one time, fourteen being from one cottage; The screams of the girls who were receiving the "water cure," admittedly a regularly disciplinary measure at the school, were heard by several employes of the institution; The educational features of the school were regarded by the officials and employees as "a joke" and Mrs. C. M. Weymann stated that education was futile for such girls. Many girls sent to the No. Privilege House issued therefrom in a horribly weakened and emaciated condition and were given no special treatment or diet to rehabilitate them. Rev. Father Ramm Presides These and many other charges against the Ventura State School for Girls were made yesterday at the hearing before the State Board of Charities and Corrections on the charges preferred by Mrs. Nellie B. Pierce, who aided prominent Los Angeles club women in cross-examining witnesses. The Rev. Father Charles Ramm, of San Francisco, acted as chairman, and interrogated all witnesses, Mrs. O. C. Bryant having requested him to assume that responsibility, because she had presided at an unofficial hearing before the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce last week. The most surprising verbal evidence upon which the Republic was founded. Lincoln expressed its meaning magnificently in his Gettysburg speech when he said: "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." The endurance of government of the people, by the people, is being tested in many parts of the globe today; whether such a government can endure has long since passed the point of determination in the United States. There should be no question as to that now. The one transcendent thing in the government of the United States is that it is the kind of a government for which freemen are willing to give the last full measure of their devotion. In parts of the country at present there are groups of people, sometimes forgetful and sometimes ignorant of American ideals, who undertake to introduce into the political life of the country theories and practices utterly foreign and repugnant to the national sentiment. The sudden return of peace, with the economic disturbance which the change from war conditions involves, has been taken by these groups to mean that they can throw off the restraints of convention and even of law, and undertake to repeat, although in a weakly imitative manner, some of, the performances that have lately been reported from anarchy-ridden nations. In certain centers of population it is seen that some drastic measures may be necessary in order to bring these groups to a realizing sense of the fact that riot and lawlessness will not be tolerated. No doubt, the authorities factories, or whether such harvest can be delayed until the extent of the injury becomes apparent. If one-third of the fruit remains sound, doubtless better financial returns would be obtained by marketing the good fruit than by selling the entire crop for by-products. If, however, the frozen fruit deteriorates rapidly in value for manufacturing purposes, the grower might lose the sale of any portion of the crop if it is-all badly frozen and picking is delayed. What are the facts regarding the changes taking place in frozen fruit? The following data is from studies made by the Citrus Experiment Station following the 1913 freeze. Sound fruit and badly frozen fruit of Naval oranges and Eureka lemons were picked every four days following the freeze for a period of two and one-half months and these were weighed and analyzed. These were compared with sound fruit and frozen fruit picked immediately after the freeze and stored. It was found that the weight or density (specific gravity) of the frozen fruit decreased rapidly, whether the fruit is picked and stored or remains on the tree, while the unfrozen fruit increased in density when picked from the tree and stored and remains about the same if left on the tree. The unfrozen oranges in storage show a variation in the amount of total sugar present, but show no progressive changes. Thus indicating that the variation is probably due to the difference in individual samples taken from analysis. The average of the unfrozen lots in storage was 9.16 per cent, the frozen 7.b2 per cent throughout the experiment. The percentage of sugar in the juice of the lemons shows the same kind of variation as was the case in the oranges. However, the great change which has been taking place in the fruit is more... and Corrections on the charges preferred by Mrs. Nellie B.

Bryant having requested him to assume that responsibility, because she had presided at an unofficial hearing before the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce last week. The most surprising verbal evidence against the management of the Ventura School for Girls was given by Mrs. A. T. Godbe, who was employed there for four months as supervisor of commercial instruction. "Some of the girls returned to the class room after being at the No Privilege House for weeks so wretched in health, so weak and emaciated that they were unable to operate a typewriter or do any kind of efficient work for days," testified Mrs. Godbe. "The water cure and the hose treatment were common occurrences. One girl had it three times to my knowledge. There was no secret about this being the common practice. The girls sent to the No Privilege House were fed only on bread and water, tea and bread or milk and bread. Their screams under treatment were heard by many of us." Dr. Grace M. Fernald, psychological expert, occupied the witness stand for nearly two hours. Her testimony was commendatory of the institution. Girl is "Walking Corpse" The sensation at the special session called to conclude the Los Angeles portion of the hearing, was the narrative by Mrs. Carrie Hersey, who was with the institution from August 13 to October 24, 1918. In a broken voice she told of how one girl of 16, whose name was withheld, was confined in the "N. P." cottage for forty-seven days. Upon being released, Mrs. Hersey said, she seemed to be a "walking corpse, as cold as ice." After two days of liberty, during which she was too weak to do much work, the girl was returned to the cottage for thirty days as punishment for a minor infraction of the rules. "You're dirty little wharf rats, so low that the citizens won't have you outside. You're in here and you'll do what we say"; "shut your clap traps"; these phrases were frequently employed by officers at the institution to their charges according to Mrs. Hersey, who stated that the girls were "scared to death" of the superintendent, and volves, has been taken by these groups to mean that they can throw off the restraints of convention and even of law, and undertake to repeat, although in a weakly imitative manner, some of the performances that have lately been reported from anarchy-ridden nations. In certain centers of population it is seen that some drastic measures may be necessary in order to bring these groups to a realizing sense of the fact that riot and lawlessness will not be tolerated. No doubt, the authorities will do their part, promptly and positively, toward maintaining good order. But the main reliance of the country will be in the morale of its people, and this reliance will be well placed. The overwhelming mass of the American people, differ as they may about minor matters, may be counted upon to guard the national institutions against all forms of attack. Those who imagine that these institutions can be assailed with impunity, will be awakened swiftly to the fact that they have never known the real America nor sounded the depth of American character and sentiment. The United States is not a machine-made nation; it was not made for the people; it was made by them; it represents the ideals of the people, stands for them; the United States is the people, and those who raise their hands against it raise their hands against the people. American morale is a rock. The waves of anarchy may dash against it, but there is no present likelihood that they can undermine it. HAVE YOU A BAD BACK? If You Have, the Statement of This Anaheim Resident Will Interest You Does your back ache, night and day; Hinder work; destroy your rest?

Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves, Uric acid and its ills Make the burden worse and worse.

See her ask her, if you doubt total sugar present, but show no progressive changes. Thus indicating that the variation is probably due to the difference in individual samples taken from analysis. The average of the unfrozen lots in storage was 9.16 per cent, the frozen 7.82 per cent throughout the experiment. The percentage of sugar in the juice of the lemons shows the same kind of variation as was the case in the oranges. However, the great change which has been taking place in the fruit is more clearly illustrated when we consider the actual amount of sugar present in the unfrozen and frozen fruits. We find that the actual amount of sugar in a frozen orange, expressed in grams of sugar per fruit, drops to less than 2 grams of sugar per fruit, against an average of 6.5 grams for an unfrozen fruit. The fruit remaining on the trees showed almost the same differences, as the frozen fruit dropped to the same point, while the good fruit showed a slightly greater average than the stored fruit, or 6.9 grams. The lemons again show the same kind of variation as is found in the oranges, but in a different degree. The unfrozen lemons held in storage average one gram of sugar per fruit while those that were frozen decreased from .7 to .2 grams per fruit. The fruits which remained on the trees showed about the same amount of variation. There seems to be no change in the relative amounts of the different classes of sugar present. The per cent of acid in the frozen and unfrozen oranges in storage decreased in almost the same degree, the average of both lots of fruit being 1.49 per cent. The fruit picked at intervals showed the same change, but had a lower average. The unfrozen oranges showed 1.45 per cent and the frozen 1.43 per cent. We find again, however, that, as with sugar this total amount of acid present decreases very markedly in the frozen fruit. The frozen oranges show .3 of a gram of acid per fruit in comparison with an average of about one gram in unfrozen oranges. Owing to the fact that lemons have a much higher percentage of acid than do the oranges, we find a much greater variation between the unfrozen and frozen fruit than is the case with oranges. The unfrozen lemons kept in storage averaged 7 per cent acid throughout the experiment, while the frozen ones averaged 5.2 per cent. The acid in the fruit picked at different intervals averaged 6.3 per cent i nunfrozen lemons and 4.5 per cent in frozen samples. When we come to the actual amount of acid which she was too weak to do much work, the girl was returned to the cottage for thirty days as punishment for a minor infraction of the rules. "You're dirty little wharf rats, so low that the citizens won't have you outside. You're in here and you'll do what we say"; "shut your clap traps"; these phrases were frequently employed by officers at the institution to their charges according to Mrs. Hersey, who stated that the girls were "scared to death" of the superintendent, and "loved" her for fear of being punished if they did not. None of the testimony called forth impeached the tales of punishment placed on record as prevalent at the school. The closing sessions of the hearing will take place at the school in Ventura where records will be investigated and the officers themselves, in all probability, given opportunity to give their side of the allegations brought against them. THE AMERICAN MORALE The American people demand and prize freedom, but as well as any other people on the face of the earth they realize the only condition upon which freedom can be enjoyed and maintained. Every true and typical American feels that he is personally responsible for the welfare of his country. He may delegate certain powers to government, but he is conscious of being a part of the government, says the Christian Science Monitor. Patriotism has a peculiar meaning for Americans. It means something more than adulation of a geographical section of the world; something more than pride in national wealth and strength; it means loyalty to the ideals The kidney action may be wrong If attention is not paid More distress will soon appear.

See her, ask her, if you doubt. Mrs. Wm. Lawe, 428 Olive St., says: "I suffered from a bearing-down pain in my back. My kidneys weren't acting right and there were other distressing kidney disorders. Doan's Kidney Pills put me in good shape, taking away the lameness in my back and correcting the action of my kidneys." (Statement given March 22, 1913). On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Lawe said: "Doan's Kidney Pills have never failed to give me prompt relief and I recommend them at every opportunity." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Lawe had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. FROZEN LEMONS AND ORANGES FOR BY-PRODUCTS DISCUSSED "Frozen Lemons and Oranges for By-Products" is the subject of a statement issued by E. E. Thomas of the State Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. The statement follows: A problem confronting citrus growers at present is whether in groves that have been rather severely frozen, the fruits should be harvested immediately and sent to the by-products. Owing to the fact that lemons have a much higher percentage of acid than do the oranges, we find a much greater variation between the unfrozen and frozen fruit than is the case with oranges. The unfrozen lemons kept in storage averaged 7 per cent acid throughout the experiment, while the frozen ones averaged 5.2 per cent. The acid in the fruit picked at different intervals averaged 6.3 per cent i nunfrozen lemons and 4.5 per cent in frozen samples. When we come to the actual amount of acid present, the great difference in the fruit is shown. We find that the unfrozen lemons vary to a considerable degree in the amount of acids present, ranging from 2 to 3 grams per fruit, while in the frozen fruit it practically all disappears. TOO WISE "There's such a thing as being too wise," said Chief of Police Butler the other day. "Indeed, that is how we catch many thieves. They are too clever and it gives them away. They remind me of the new clerk in the seed store. "Someone, just for a joke, asked for some sweet potato seeds.' The clerk hunted all through the seeds but could find no sweet potato seeds and finally appealed to the boss. "The latter explained that he was being kidded and cautioned him about not letting smart Alecks put anything over on him. "A few days later a lady entered the store and asked for some bird seed. "'Aw go on,' grinned the clerk, 'you can't kid me. Birds is hatched from egga.'" TWO BETTER REASONS The beautiful Gaby Deslys was walking in Fifth avenue in one of the very full and very short skirts of the new fashion. Her patent leather boots had very high gray tops. Above her high gray boot tops her skirt—so fashionably short it was—afforded a view of her rich and lustrous gray silk stockings. "It takes a mighty good nerve to wear a skirt as short as that," a comedian remarked to Mlle. Deslys. She glanced down and smiled with a certain pardonable pride. "A vairy good—" she said—"a vairy good—a vairy good nerve? Did you say nerve, monsieur?" And glancing down again, she shook her head and smiled. "Ah, no, monsieur; it is not a vairy good nerve that is required; not at all." Merging of the First National Bank and the Farmers & Merchants National Bank, of Santa Ana, is expected to be completed on the 25th of this month. METAL OUTPUT DECLINED The output of gold in 1918 was the smallest in two years, and that of silver the smallest since 1913, it became known Saturday, when the Bureau of the Mint and the Geological Survey issued a preliminary estimate of the production of gold and silver in the United States during the calendar year 1918. The report shows that in 1918 there were 3,313,373 fine ounces of gold produced, of a value of $68,493,500 and an output of 67,879,206 fine ounces of silver of a value of $67,879,206. The value of the silver is based on the government buying price of one dollar an ounce. The production of gold in 1917 was $83750,700 and 71,740,342 ounces of silver. This would indicate a reduction in the output of gold for 1918 as compared to 1917 of $15,257,200, and that of silver of 3,861,156 ounces. California led the States in the amount of gold produced, with Colorado next and Alaska third. Among the silver States, Montana was first, with Utah, Idaho, and Nevada following in the order nmed.
