BY CECIL OWEN 1 nited F’rrss Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July I.—Division of eastern railroads into five major trunk line systems serving the territory between midwestern cities and the eastern seaboard was proposed today in a merger petition filed with the interstate commerce commission by the Wabash railway. The Wabash asked the commission to approve formation of a fifth trunk line comprising its own lines and those of nine other railroads, with one-sixth control of four additional carriers and trackage rights over existing roads to give it access to many important terminals. Approval of the Wa'oash petition bv the commission would create a new trunk line railroad with eastern termini at the Atlantic seaboard ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and with western termini at Chicago. St. Louis, Kansas City, Omah nd Dcs Moines. It Iso would serve such intervening. cities, as. Detroit. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Toledo. Cleveland. Akron, Ft. Wayne and Decatur.

The Well-Dressed Man of Future (Very Future)

LONDON. July l.—See the man. Is he not a strange looking person? He doesn't think so, though. He thinks he is very well dressed, and is proud to look like this. What’s that? the absent minded professor who forgot to put on his trousers? Go to the foot of the class! This man is suposed to be perfectly rational. In fact, he calls himself a pioneer in a movement for “rational dress for men.'' Just to prove it, he appeared like this at the Ascot Races in England, which are very exclusive socially: in fact, downright snooty. Everybody stared at the poor fellow, whom they thought must have lost something besides his shirt on the ponies. Little did they guess that the well-dressed man of the future will look iike this—at least, according to some of the free-think-ing designers. Miladdie's afternoon costume, they say, will consist of a ducky little dark coat, much like a dinner jacket, an open-necked shirt chic little white “shorts,” no hat. golf stockings, knobby ovford and knees. Ye—ah? CHURCH GETS FLAGS Christian and American flags, presented to the Edwin Ray M. E. church by the Joseph R. Gordon Relief Corps and church members, were on display in the church auditorium today. The Rev. W. R. Jones accepted the American flag from Mrs. Rosa B. Pense, patriotic instructor of the relief corps, while the Christian flag was presented by church The close union between the two flags was discussed by the Rev. Mr. Jones in his sermon.

U. S. DEBT CUI TOl7 BILLIi Country Starts Year Wi $185,000,000 Surplus. WASHINGTON. July l. Th# treasury started the fiscal year 1930 today, with a surplus of 5180.000.000, a public debt of less than $17,000,000,000 for the first time since the war. and with government finances generally in a “highly satisfactory state." Secretaiv Andrew J. Mellon announced today. Closing the treasury's books for the present fiscal year Sunday night, Mellon announced the surplus, which exceeded the treasury's first estimate by $148,000,000. His statement said: “Our national debt shows a reduction over the twelve-month period just closed, of approximately $673.000.000 as compared with one of $907,000,000 in 1928." A “remarkable increase" of about $220,000,000 in receipts from the current individual income tax was attributed by the treasury chiefly to widespread prosperity and profits made on the bull stock market of the past year.
