PASSENGER TRAFFIC

(By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., March 12. Summer racationists, who like to spend their time at upper points of the Great

Lakes, most likely will "have to row"! to get there. If the LaFollette Act is not amended and the Great Lakes season lengthened, it is asserted by officials ot steamship companies operating boats on the lakes. The steamboat men are marshalling their forces for a final and determined attack to have congress pass the Scott bill, which amends the LaFollette Act by legalizing a passenger season from May to October 15, each year. "The Scott bill has been passed by th house and favorably reported on by the senate. Act Shortens Season. The most objectionable part of the 1 aFollette Act to the steamship men, is that which prevents the taking on of a full passenger list after Sept. 15, al

though stpamboat men declare the best sailing weather of the year prevails during the month immediately following that date. Under the act also, the season is not recognized as open until May 15, although it is contended that United States department of agriculture statistics prove weather conditions during the first two weeks of May to be as good as they are later in the month. Officials of steamship companies declare that in the six years the LaFollette Act has been effective, much revenue has been lost because of the comparatively short passenger season. Affects Produce Prices. Unless the Scott bill eventually becomes a law, they, declare, the price of produce shipped from upper Michigan territory to the head of the lakes at Buffalo, by boat, will be sharply affected. Many lines, it Is said, are contemplating drastic reductions in service, if the season is not lengthened. Officials of the Cleveland and Detroit line say they will discontinue service between Detroit and Maclcinac. Under the LaFollette Act, a big boat carrying say 2,400 persons, is licensed to take on a full passenger list between May 15 and Sept. 15. It takes a crew of 180 to man her. At 11:55 p. m. on dept. 15, the LaFollette Act holds that federal steamboat inspectors may permit the boat to steam away with her full complement of passengers. But at 12:05, on Sept. 16, the ship may carry but 480 passengers, while the same 180 men , must be standing the various watches.

Third Artists' Number.

Among the present day chamber music organizations the Zoellner quartet, which appears at Earlham college next Tuesday evening as the third of the artist's recital series, in addition to its rare artistic merit, is unique in the respect that it is a family quartette, being composed of a father and his three children, two sons and a daughter. ' The post of first violin is filled by the charming daughter, Mile. Antionette, who, it is said, sustains the onerous duties of this position with a splendid breadth of tone, power of technique and interpretative insight.

The Zoellner quartette is internationally known, havinr spent seven vears touring Europe. Press comments of Boston, New York, Salt Lake City, and several other large cities where the quartette has played give unstinted praise to the quartette's playing. Albert Zimmer has said of the quartette: "Everything' in the Zoellner quartette is perfect intonation, vigor of attack, dynamic balance, and above all, the amity of sentiment." The concert is open to the public. Those who did not have season tickets to the artists' recitals may get single admission tickets at the door.

YOU know that there is nothing so beautifully compelling in Nature as mother-love. Even the word "mother" gives you a thrill. Imagine, then, a picture that is almost sublime in its reverent, forceful and dramatically appealing presentation of the mother-love theme! Here, indeed, is such a picture. It reaches , depths of pathos and heights of human feeling seldom found on the screen; it will make you cry, then dry the tear with a smile; it will thrill you with its drama and hold you tight with its suspense. It's worth seeing if ever a picture was and besides being entertained youll be happier for having seen . it. Come that's aUl
