ACQUISITION OF CAPE COD CANAL UP ONCE MORE Favors Doesn’t Pay Profits, but Big Price Wanted. Times "Washfnaton Bureau. _ JJ2B New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, March s—The <ruestlon G s Government acquisition of the Cape Cod Canal, vjjiich has vexed the Government for ten years, Is again up for settlement. Representative Freeman of Connecticut, has introduced a bill ratifying contract which Wax Secretary Weeks executed in 1921, under which the government would purchase the canal for $11,600,000. The canal, eight miles long, runs across Cape Cod, cutting the sea distance via Boston to New York by 66 miles and eliminating the necessity for vessels to make the perilous passage outside the cape. It was completed in 1914 and was taken over by the Government as a war necessity in 1918. In 1920 the Government sought to turn it back with the other property taken over by the Railroad Administration, but Its owners declined it.

Jury’s Price The Government already had offered $8,250,000 for the canal and had been spurned. Then, under condemnation proceedings in 1920, a Jury held the canal worth $16,801,000, which was not satisfactory to ■Ahe Government. W Then came the Weeks' contract. A Dill ratlfyfhg this contract passed the House last session, but got no further. President Coolidge in his annual message recommended Government ownership and the present Freeman bill was Introduced. The committee has held hearings and has Investigated thoroughly the probable' cost of improvement deemed necessary, which would be several million dollars. The probable cost of operation, estimated at from $162,000 to $300,000 yearly, and the purchase of 932 acres of land Included in the Weeks’ contract also have been investigated. Reluctance of the canal owners to take back their property is attributed to the fact that the canal is not a paying project commercially. Importance of the canal is shown by the fact that in 1924, 5,489 vessels passed through it, with a tonnage of 3,224,000 and a total value, ships and cargo, of more than 4900,000,000.

Countless girls and women now know how foolish and needless it is to “purge" and “physic’’ themselves to avoid sick headache, dizziness, biliousness, sallow skin, colds, or sour, gassy stomach. They have found that Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even for those heretofore chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it never gripes, sickens or upsets the most delicate girl or woman. Be

HE’S TERRORIZED BY AUTO RIDE ATLANTA, March sc—Jose Moss didn’t mind the trial so much, but he sure hated to be taken to it in one of these here newfangled gasoline buggies through the streets of this terrible place. Moss, who Is 22, left his foothills home for the first time in his life when revenue officers arrested him for alleged moonshine activities. Prisoner and captor walked to the nearest town, and then the sheriff placed Moss in an automobile for a trip here for trial. Moss didn’t mind the automobile much until it started. Then he yelled and tried to Jump out. Its mysteries were beyond his comprehension. The officer held him in until the city was reached. They passed a street car and Moss started afresh. Despite his yells of bloody murder and maniacal struggles, the officer held on to the prisoner. Finally Moss made a last desperate elfort and then collapsed, begging the sheriff to protect him from "them things." Moss is held under a S3OO bond, but his legal worries aro nil. His problem of the moment Is to find out what all these strange things are.
