ration at the action of the Intrrttan
Commerce eomniiioii in reiusing to
rcsriml it order requiring a reduc
tion of l7't per cent in rite on
wheat in western territory .ind , a
tirtlier reduction of 10 per rent on
coarse grains and its refusal to per-
urn carriers-to substitute a 10 per
reni reduction over the l?nitpil
Slates on not only grain but ariou
omer agricultural product?.
Browne declared that railroad on
leratmg in this U'rritoroy could afford
the reductions insisted upon by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
"Few railroads," he said, 'Vre in a
better position to endure these re
duced rates than those carriers which
serve this territory. The Burling
ton and Union Pacific are especially
prosperous railroads under the Pres
ent levels of rates and the Rock Is
land shows a very flattering increase
in net earnings in 1921 as coir pa red
with 1920.
"Orr. the face of things the North
western and Omaha road are earn
ing comparatively lightfy. but in con
sidering this fact it must be borne in
mind that very large amounts of
money are being spens for repairs
and replacements to roadway struc
; tures and rolling stock as compared
with normal maintenance under or
dinary conditions."

"Flying Hospital"
Possible. Says
English Doctor
Air Trips Would Benefit Pul
, monary Cases, But Too
, Uncertain for Ner .
.' vous Persons. .
London; Dec. 16. Hospital es
tablished in airships in high and
germ-free ' altitudes are "quite pos
sible, according to prominent nerve
specialists attending a convention
here. ,
American doctors have long been
interested in such a possibility of
curing nervous patients by sending
them for tripsin an aiiptane. A spe
cialist here said Hying is hardly saie
enough at this time to make it suit
able as a cure for patients whose
particular disability it due to nerv
ous disorder, however.
"I frequently prescribe motfarinj
for nerve patients," said the doctor,
"but generally short runs of 40 to 50
miles. I do not think people surfer.
insr from 'nerves' wnu d wish to fly
at the present time."
The doctor pointed out. however,
that to prescribe flying for tubercu
lar patients and others suffering from
diseases accompanied by malnutrition
was altogether a different matter.
He was of the opinion that airship
hospitals were a practicable possi
bility of the near future, '
Taticnts would probably be taken
up to a height not exceeding S.tKH) to
10 Oof) feet at first, and In the first
case for a few hours only, a peri !
which might gradually be extended
to 24 hours.
"We have not yet, however," said
the doctor, '"very much information
at to what the effect of resting for
a considerable time at a very hi w
altitude may be on the human organ
ism, Sunbaths. .
"It seems certain, however, that
sojourn in the germ-free air will, by
increasing oxygenation, improve anj
purify the blood, and the modem
school of medicine is tending more
and more to recognize a given disease
as a local effect of unsatisfactory
blood.
"Wonderful things have been done
by a famous Swis doctor with what
is known as hetio-therapy cure by
sunlight. It should be ossible to
make the wonderful light which
would play on an airship hospital
take the place of the healing sunlight
which patients now seek in Switzer
land." -
Hooks mounted near the rear of
the runners and operated by a
hand lever form a brake for a new
sled.
