LOOMIS DESCRIBES ! RAILROAD PROBLEMS, RATE DIFFICULTIES ' 1 ' II llll Railroad rates cannot coma down until the labor costs are reduced, ac

cording to a review of the situation , prepared for the Brooklyn Chamber of

Commerce Bulletin by E. E. Lommis, president of the Lehigh Valley railroad. "Two Important questions affecting our national transportation service

n-?s",:&&-'-&4 are before the pubV ' I'l He at this time."

says air. Loomis. "Various unions of railroad workers are taking or have taken strike votes and their spokesmen have filled the

'air with threats of complete tie-ups. This is the problem of ' labor. The

other Is that of freight rates. As i view the situation. It is impossible to comply completely with the demands of labor and many shippers and give the American people the character of transportation service they desire and ,to which they are entitled. "There can be no doubt but that some rates should be readjusted and railroad men are co-operating fully in this direction and have made many

reductions. A proper readjustment, however, is something entirely different from using the railroads to subsidize any special industry. And yet that is exactly what the railroads were called upon to do in a recent report of an interstate commerce commission examiner, who said that while actual costs did not justify a reduction upon the particular commodity, such a reduction was vital If the industry was to be saved. Opposes Subsidy Plan. "The dangers of such a situation are readily apparent If one industry, which Is in danger of its life because of existing freight rates, Is tubtidized at the expense of the railroad companies and they are forced to handle this produce at a rate which does not yield them a new dollar for an old one, others are going to demand the same treatment. The result will be that the railroads will be in a more precarious condition than any of the industries to dependent upon them for efficient fprvice in the manufacturing and marketing of their products. "The railroads must be allowed not only to earn their necessity expenses, but a eufflcifnt margin above that which will serve to attract new capital and make postible expenditures for new engines and cars, greater and more efficient terminals, the reduction of grades, the shortening of lines and all of those necessary things which go to make better transportation machines. E. N Hurley, writing in Collier's Weekly recently, quoted an international banker as saying "the American people do not want to own their utilities. But also they do not want the present owners of them to make a living.' The attitude of many now seeking a general rate reduction would seem to give the color of truth to thi3 statement."

Wood's Request to Retire

Presented to President

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22 The application of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood for retirement from active service, effective Oct. 5, supplemented by recommendations for the general's appointment as governor-general of the Philippines on that date were laid before President Harding yesterday by Secretary Weeks. Lacking congressional authority for array officers to hold civil posts, the department plans to make Gen. Wood's eppointment in the usual way, which requires his retirement from active r-rvice. It was pointed out that Gen. Wood was eligible in any event, having served SO years in the army.

CITY BATHING BEACH. (By Associated Press) SANDUSKY. O.. Sept. 22 First steps toward establishing a municipal bathing beach have been taken by the Sandusky city commission. In the employment of engineers to make a survey of suitable plates.

So far all had gone admirably. My luggage was waiting for me, and I had no difficulty in finding the carriage which Holmes had indicated, the les so as it was the only one in the train marked "Engaged." My only source of anxiety now was the non-appearance of Holmes. The station clock marked only seven minutes from the time when we were due to start. In vain I searched among the groups oi

travelers and leave-takers for the lithe

figure of my friend. There was no sign of him. I spent a few minutes in assisting a venerable Italian priest, who was endeavoring to make a por

ter understand, in his broken English,

that his lusgage was to be booked through to Paris. Then, having taken another look round, I returned to my carriage, where I found that the porter, In spite of the ticket, had given me my decrepit Italian friend as a traveling companion. It was useless for me to explain to him that hi3 presence was an intrusion, for my Italian was even more limited than his English, so I shrugged my shoulders resignedly, and continued to look out anxiously for my friend. A chill of fear had come over me, as I thought that his absence might mean that some blow had fallen during the night. Already the doors had been shut and the whistle blown, when "My dear Watson," said a voice. "you have not even condescended to say good-morning." I turned in uncontrollable astonish

ment. The aged ecclesiastic had turned his face toward me. For an instant the wrinkles were smoothed away, the nose drew away from the chin, the lower lip ceased to protrude and the mouth to mumble, the dull

eyes regained their fire, the drooping figure expanded. The next the whole frame collapsed again, and Holmes had gone as quickly as he had come.

"Good heavens! I cried; "how you

! startled me!"'

"Every precaution is still necessary," he whispered. "I have reason to think that they are hot upon our trail. Ah, there is Moriarty himself." The train had already begun to move as Holmes spoke. Glancing back, I saw a tall man pushing his way furiously through the crowd, and waving 'his hand as if he desired to have the train stopped. It was too

late, however, for we were rapidly gathering momentum, and an instant later had shot clear of the station. With all our precautions, you see that we have cut it rather fine, said Holmes, laughing. He rose, and throwing off the black cassock and hat which had formed - Ms disguise, he packed them away in a handbag." "Have you seen the morning paper, Watson?" " "No." "You haven't seen about Baker street, then?" "Baker street?" "They set fire to our rooms last

night. No great harm was done."

"Good heavens, Holmes! this is iii-

tollerable." ,

"They must have lost my track com

pletely after my bludgeon-man was arrested. Otherwise they could not

have imagined that I had returned to my rooms. They have evidently taken the precaution of watching you, however, and that is what has brought Moriarty to Victoria. You could not have made any slip in coming?'" "I did exactly what you advised." "Did you find your brougham?" "Yes, it was waiting." "Did you recognize your coachman?" "No." . "It was my brother Mycroft. It is an advantage to get about in such a case without taking a mercenary into your confidence. But we must plan what we are about to do about Moriarty now." "As this is an express, and as the boat runs in connection with it, I

should think we had shaken him off very effectively." - . "My dear Watson, you evidently did not realize my meaning when I said that this man may be taken as being I quite on the same intellectual plane

as myself. ou do not imagine that if I were the pursuer I should allow myself to be baffled by so slight an obstacle. Why, then, should you think so meanly of him?" "What will he do?'" "What I should do." "What would you do, then?" "Engage a special." "But it must be late." "By no means. This train stops at

Canterbury; and there is always atj

least a quarter of an hours delay at I

the boat. He will catch us there.

"One would think that we were the criminals. Let us have him arrested

on his arrival."

"It would be to ruin the work cf three months. We should get the bij fish, but the smaller ones would dart right and left out of the net. On Monday we should have them all. No, an arrest is inadmissible." "What then?" "We shall get out at Canterbury." ' "And then?" "Well, then we must make a crosscountry journey to Newhaven. and so over to Dieppe. Moriarty will again do what I should do. He will get on to Paris, mark down our luggage, and wait for two days at the depot. In the meantime we shall treat ourselves to a couple of carpet-bags, encourage the manufacturers of the countries

through which we travel, and make our way at our leisure into Switzerland, via Luxembourg and Basle." At Canterbury, therefore we alighted, only to find that we should have to wait an hour before we could get a train to Newhaven. I was still looking rather, ruefully after the rapidly disappearing luggage van which contained my wardrobe, when Holmes pulled my sleeve and pointed up the line. "Already, you see," said he. Far away, from among the Kentish woods there rose a thin spray of smoke. A minute later a carriage and engine could be seen flying along the

open xurve which leads to the station. We had hardly time to take our place behind a pile of baggage when it passed with a rattle and a roar, beating a blast of hot air into our faces. There he goes," said Holmes, as we watched the carriage swing and rock over the points. "There are limits, you see, to our friend's intelligence. It would have been a coup-de-maitre had he deduced what I would deduce and acted accordingly." "And what would he have done had he overtaken us?" "There cannot be the least doubt that he would have made a murderous attack upon me. It Is, however, a game at which two may play. Tho question now is whether we should take a premature lunch here, or run

our chance of starving betore we ra.rh trip huffft at. Newhaven."

We made our way to Brussels that night and spent two days there, moving on upon the third day as far as Strasburg. On the Monday morning Holmes had telegraphed to the London police, and in the evening we found a reply waiting for us at our hotel. Holmes tore it open, and then

with a bitter curse, hurled it into the

grate. "I might have known it," he groan

ed. "He has escaped!'"

"Moriarty?"' "They have secured the whole gans with the exception of him. He has

given them the slip. Of course, when i I had left the country, there was no one to cope with him. But I did think that I had put the game in their hands. I think that you had better return to England, Watson." "Why?" "Because you will find me a dangerous companion now. The man's occupation is gone. He is lost if he returns to London. If I read his character right he will devote his whole energies to revenging himself upon me. He said as much in our short interview, and I fancy that he meant it. I should certainly recommend you to return to your practice." It was hardly an appeal to be sue cessful with one who was an old campaigner as well as an old friend. We sat in the Stratsburg salle-a-manger

Poultry Suggestions For Late September Market the surplus cockerels this month, either as broilers, fryers, or roasters, as soon as they are large enough. Cull and market all hens molting to any great extent this month. After molting begins egg production stops, and hen is carried at a loss. Early molters are not woKh carrying for another year. The Department of Agriculture advises against keeping them. Keep the young stock growing by liberal feeding. Put nests in the houses occupied by the pullets. A few may begin to lay, and eggs laid on the floor are likely to get broken and lead to the habit of egg eating. Figure on seeding down any poultry yards or runs not in permanent sod. Rye, winter oats, and winter wheat are good crops for poultry-yards.

ABOUT THE PORKERS During the month of September the bulk of our fall pigs will be farrowed. Many hog raisers go on the theory that a brood sow can find her own living, or, at most, needs only a few ears of corn. Henry and Morrison in their "Feeds and Feeding" show the result of a simple experiment: One lot of gilts during their perguancy period received an average daily ration of 3.6 pounds of corn.

These gilts produced pigs averag

ing 1.74 pounds at birth

them were good strong and vigor

ous. Another similar lot of gilts received a ration of 2.8 pounds of com and .43 pounds of tankage. Their pigs averaged 2.23 pounds at birth and 93 of them were strong. The corn fed gilts put on a daily gain of only .35 pounds

while that of the other lot was .62 " pounds. Just compare these fig-j ures and decide for yourselves i what a little care and extra work i will mean to you.

Community fairs are community builders. Look your teams in the teeth. Dental troubles mean digestive disorders, hard on horseflesh. Says Sam: . Add to the beauties of country life the fact that the farm is about the only place left where a man can wear suspenders in comfort. With labor cheaper, farmers can't afford not to select seed corn from the field. Hire a man to take your place husking if necessary; it will pay. Spot the cockerel with the "bossy" eye. Vigor is a big factor in selecting flock sires.

A big woodpile is the best heat insurance.

GROWING RATION POOD FOR PIGS Pigs begin to notice and eat feed when they are about three weeks old. It is always a good plan to have creep for the little porkers and give them feed in it. A good dry growing ration is composed of 60 pounds cracked corn, 40 pounds middlings and five pounds of 60 tankage.
