Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Traimmen. Testimony before the interstate commerce commission, however, is pointed to as their answers. Whitney Makes Points Whitney made these two points in blaming the operators for the car shortage: ONE: More efficient handling cars, keeping them wmioving, would increase car mileage by 25 per cent. TWO: ' Increasing the per diem charge for use of cars belonging to other roads from $1.25 a day to $1.75 would tend to get cars pack where they. belong, stimulate purchase of new Cars.

Now He Can Laugh At Feather. Allergy

By JOSEPH FOSTER

CLEVELAND. “0 "May Je. —Because Isadore Shapiro sneezed all night long, away back in 1935, you can laugh at that feather allergy of yours and sleep like a log all night long. . You won't need any shots, or pills, or medicine, either. But you will have to get a prescription from your doctor, When Mr. Shapiro got up after a miserable sleepless night he went to ‘his doctor. The allergists told him {that a rubber covering for mattress land pillows would seal the feather |dust in and give him a chance to | sleep.

He Tried It Out

Mr. Shapiro, who then was & bedding: manufacturer, tried it out. The allergists were wrong. Rubber coverings ‘weren't airtight, he found —and so they weren't dust tight. Besides, they smelled like something a man ought not to have to smell {all night, So Mr. Shapiro went on a hunt {for some material that would be
