MOTOR AND RAILROAD# ’ From the: last report erf the Interstate Commerce Commission it appears that motor vehicles are responsible for diverting 346 millions of dollars froni railway passenger earnings in 1926. Even so, it is a small item when the size of the motor in- • vestment is considered. Qur 20 n illions of motor vehicles nepre-1 s. nt a sum three times greater i than that invested in railroad* .motive power and equipment. Our three millions mill's of highwavs and 500,000 miles of hard surfaced roads, added to the cost erf the motors represent an actual investment of three thou-; sand millions more than the valuations of all railroads. Besides that we are ploughing back into the business every year nearh' double the amount expended by railroads. Professor Cunningham, of the Harvard School of Business Administration, while admitting that our motor capacity is thirty times greater than our passenger cars, that the estimated passenger miles of motor vehicles (outside of cities) is three times the total passenger miles of all railroacfe, and tihat motor trucks haul freight for short distances cheaper and more efficiently than railroads, contends that the locomotive and steel rail are invincible in their field but the fibld has changed He shows that the passenger and freight traffic diverted to the highway is the least remunerative to the railroad, and believes that

the loss of short-haul business is a blessing to the roads. The astonishing growth of freight business goes to prove this claim ami also indicates that railroads will be compelled to use motors as feeders in a nation-wide door-to-door delivyry system. Railroad have enjoved a long monoply of the transportation business, but even that great in- ! dustry must be subordinated to the public .rood. — o ’ NOW WE LL TELL ONE That a snake can show gratitude is the moral of this talr from Corsician, Tex. Jim Curtis Tound a rattlesnake caught beneath a boulder, and instead of ! killing it. released it. The snake followed Jyn home and took up residence in Jun's bachelor quarters. Affection developed between the two and Jim prepared a place on the foot of his bed for the snake to sleep. One night he m’ssed the rattler and. lighting a lanw. found a burglar in an adioininig room, caught in the coils of the snake, which had put the end of its tail out the window and was rattling for the police.—Boston Globe. o A classified ad will sell it.

SUPREME COURT RULING The Supreme Court, by a vote of 8 to 1, has ruled that the Virginia law for thp sterilization of mental defectives is constitutional The case in point is that of a feeble-minded white woman daughter of a feeble-minded mother, and also the mother of an illegitimate and feeble-minded child. The Act of Virginia, approved March 20, 1924, provides for the sterilization of such individuals that the commonwealth may be relieved of the burden of supporting such defectives and who, if released, would become a menace to society. The pr?r:mble further recites that after sterilization these defectives may become self-support-ing. In affirming the State Court, the Supreme Court says: “It is better for all tbje world, if instead of waiting to execute the degenerate offspring for crime or let tiham starve for their imbecility society can prevent those who are *n>anifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tube. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” While it is true that it has not been scientifically established that criminals beget criminals, everybody will no doubt agree that sterilization in seme cases is justifiable. The question naturally arises as to its application to the male as well as the female of the species. This law may be the first, step toward a broader eugenic program. but it must be used with great care to avoid abuse. o CO-OPERATIVE GASOLINE Oil reports show that in 46 Minnesota towns where co-opera-tive oil companies compete with Standard Gil or other private compares, the co-oper; fives are doing 35- per cent of the business. One successful co-operative was quoted as having earned a net profit of $37,000 in 1926 on total assets of $78,000 and capital stock and surplus at the beginning of the year of not more than $33,000, while another reported a net profit of $30,000 no capital and surplus at the beginning of the year of not more tihan $26,000, with total assets of $72,000. . —-o John Gilbert in “Bardelys, the Magnitir‘nt." a super special nrrwlnction at'Crystal.

FOUND INDIAN SKELETON ; Workmen in excavating for a ditch on the old Allen Blue farm a quarter of a mile south of Burket, found the skeleton of an Indian in what in the early days is described as a sink hole. The farm is now occupied by Ed. Newcomb and skeleton was found by Leslie Laird and his son who were digging a ditch. The skeleton was examined by Dr. T. J. Cutler of Mentone who says it is that of an Indian and a ven- old man as thet teeth ar? half worn down, and the skull is practically perfect. According | to those who lived in that vicinity for the nast 40 years there is no record of any one disappearing. The man d’d not srpet his death by foul play as the skull was not crushed and there was no sign of violence. The man was not buried as there is no Indian burying ground in the vicinity. ** It is thought that the Indian became caught in the quagmire or possibly di c d from natural causes and sank down into the marsh. —. —. o—- — See Bob ant Irish Meu>“l.
