RAILROADS ARE LEFT HAMPERED BY FUNDS LACK Railroad Administration Will be Required to Borrow Money to Carry on Work. ""' By Assoolsd Praas) ; WASHINGTON, March 5. Adjournment of congress without appropriating $750,000,000 for railways left the railroad administration with practically empty coffers, about $681,000,000 back debts and no funds with which to finance the extensive program of Improvements planned for this year. Immediate relinquishment of the roads to private management loomed as a possibility, but officials said that would be done only if it finally appeared not feasible for the railroads to privately borrow the millions needed, or to have the war finance corporation extend large loans to the companies. Situation Complicated Director General Walker D. Hlnes, after conferences today with Secretary Glass and Eugene Meyer, managing director of the war finance corporation, made this statement: " "The railroad situation Is so complicated by this recent development, and there are so many possibilities, that I cannot say at this time what may be done with the railroads. It will take a good deal of consideration before a conclusion Is reached." Several treasury officials in close touch with financial conditions ex. pressed belief that tho railroads could obtain loans privately to tide them over the next few months, although perhaps at high interest rates. A conference of leading bankers with treasury and railroad administration officials was proposed.

Barnard Urges Need of Further Food Saving (Br Associated Presal INDIANAPOLIS. March 5. Food saving must continue as carefully as during the war, Dr. H. E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana said today speaking before the . convention 'of the Indiana ice dealers' association here. He pointed out that ice Is a means of saving food, especially in the heated season of the year. The ice situation in the state was discussed at the convention. It has been said that comparatively little natural ice was stored during the winter, but chemicals now are available In more quantity than last year, and war restrictions also have been removed from the manufacture of Ice. Prices for material reported higher than last year, but labor was more plentiful at the same scale paid In 1918. While the price question was not on thr program for discussion In the convention, Individual dealers were quoted as saying they do not look for much change from last year's prices. Local conditions in each community were expected to govern prices to a great extent, it was said. Some cutting of cost to the consumer has been intimated as possible in territories most affected by the prohibition laws of the state. Increased sale of soft drinks. It was said, was not expected to take care of all the business lost through prohibition.

THE KNOCKER When the Creator had made all the good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when he had finished He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the Rattlesnake, the Hyena, the Scorpion and the Skunk, so He put all these together, covered It with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak, and called it a KNOCKER. . THE BOOSTER This product was io fearful to contemplate that He had to make something to counteract it, so He took a sunbeam and put In it the heart of a child, the brain of a man, wrapped these in civic pride, covered It with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel, and called it a BOOSTER; made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports, a believer in equality and justice, and ever since these two were, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates.
