HAKE NEW RECORD
IN LOADING CARS
Railroads Handle 1,102,336
Cars in Week.
Washington.—A new high record for
loading freight cars, with its accom
panying indication of business condi
tions, was made by American railroads
during the week ended October 18.
During that week 1,102.336 cars were
loaded with revenue freight, exceed
ing by more than 8,000 cars the previ
ous high record of 1023. On one day
alone, October 15, the railroads moved
1,030,211 cars, both loaded and empty,
which if made up into one solid train
would have reached from New York to
San Francisco and return and then
back to Omaha.
In a report issued recently, the
American Kailway association declares
that while the weekly records of Amer
ican railroading were being surpassed,
the movement of freight was carried
on without congestion or car shortage,
and that there are 100,000 serviceable
freight cars and 5,400 locomotives In
surplus reserve.
Spend Much for Equipment.
The railroads, the report says, were
enabled to make the new record be
cause of their large expenditures for ;
equipment and Improvements; because
of Improved car distribution and be
cause of the growing efficiency of the
regional shippers' advisory boards hav
ing memberships representing all
phases of agricultural and Industrial
production.
“Hecord-breaklng grain crops have
been moved without a single reported
car shortage from the western states,”
says the report. "The California per- j
ishuble producers heretofore have been
confronted with periodical car short
ages, but this year there was no short
age of refrigerator equipment.”
Other Records Established.
In addition to the new high record
for movement of revenue freight dur
ing the week ended October 18, the
railroads made other new records.
More cars were loaded with miscel
laneous freight; more cars were load
ed with live stock and the new record
was made for cars In movement on a
single day. Leading of grain and grain
products for the same comparative
period were second only to the high
record made two weeks earlier.
Coal showed a small decrease; mer
chandise and small lots, and forest
products showed an Increase over a
year ago, but ore and coke showed a
decrease.
All classes showed Increases over
the corresponding week two years ago,
except In the eastern district.

Hunter Capitalizes Find
Made on Quest for Quail
Lake Charles, La.—Tradition hav
ing It that a burro once kicked up a
gold mine In the Rock; mountains,
and that the copper deposits in the
Southwest were found in a similar
manner, folks In this section were not
■o greatly surprised when it developed
that Louisiana's newest oil field was
discovered by a quail hunter.
W. W. Lemolne, a local business
man, who, during the open season,
passes as much time In the fields as
he does In his office, for years has
been an Inveterate prospector for oil,
and about half his time on bunting
tripe was “wasted" exploring woods
and marshes for traces of the “black
gold."
Lemolne went bunting along Bag
dad bayou, near here, one fine day
three yearn ago, and came upon one
Tillman, a negro recluse. The usual
topic of conversation with Lemolne j
was oil, and he soon reached the sub- >
Ject. Tillman knew of no oil. but he !
did know where there was gas. The
upshot was that Lemolne agreed to
give Tillman an annuity of $1,800 a
year If he would show him where it
was, and If anything came of It.
Tillman led Lemolne straight across
the country to Indian bayou, only a
few miles from here, and there, In the
edge of the marsh was the negro’s
“gas.” Lemolne touched a match to
It, and it burned.
Keeping his knowledge secret, Le
molne tied up 4,000 acres of land on
leases, and an oil concern agreed to
test the field. Two wells were sunk
without result, and then the third
brought In a gusher.
The usual horde has moved in. ma
chinery and material for more wella
and tanks are being transported to |
the field by the trainload.
Britons Fight to Save
Historical Monuments
London.—Modernizing English towns
at the expense of historical monu
ments Is being condemned throughout
the country by civic societies and per
sons Interested In keeping together the 1
glory that was England's.
The post-war unrest Is particularly
shown In smaller towns, where the au
thorities are destroying buildings and
other historical monuments to make
wide mads, parks and other necessities
of modern municipal planning.
The secretary of the society for the
protection of ancient buildings has ad
dressed a protest to the prime minister
and will seek to have a bill against al
lowing the destruction brought before
parliament.
Several famous buildings have been
destroyed during the last year, It Is
stated In the letter to the premier, In
cluding the Sixteenth century court
house at Barking.
The society Is also endeavoring to
Umlt the destruction of ancient bridges
which la going on over the country to
meet the needs of the present-day
heavy traffic.

CHINA’S FIGHTS MAY
OPEN TERRIBLE WAR
Sleeping Giant Is Believed
to Be Awakening.
Washington, D. C.—After more than
a decade of petty political bickering
over the control of China the whole
country now bids fair to break out In
war to determine If unification can be
effected by conquest. From Peking,
the ancient capital in the north, to
Canton, the vast river city in the
south, troops are afoot. There are
marchings and counter-marchings and
the sound of firing is heard in many
places, chiefly along a 2T>-mlle front in
the vicinity of Shanghai.
Gen. Chi Hsieh-yuuu, anfu-tuchan or
military governor of the province of
Klangsu. has flatly declared that the
time has come when, if China is to be
unified aguin into one great nation. It j
must be done by the sword. Whether
the war which now is in progress will.
In fact, be fought out to so bitter an
issue or whether it will in a few
months break up into minor conflicts
between rival provincial governors re
mains to he seen. The Immediate fact
is that a million men are under arms.
The trouble started over the rivalry
of two provincial governors. The city
of Shanghai, with well over a million
population, is the New York of China. ;
It is the great port of foreign trade, j
Geographically it lies in the province
of Klangsu. It is commanded by Gen.
Ho Feng-lin, the defense commissioner. |
To the southward of the province of
Klangsu and the city of Shanghai lies
the important province of Chekiang.
Its military governor is Gen. Lu Yung
hsiang. Although the city Is outBlde his j
province he clnims control over Shang
hai. The defense commissioner is
friendly to him and admits his claim.
Likened to New York’* Seizure.
The situation may be put into Ameri
can terms as follows: New York city
lies in New York state. Connecticut is
just over the border. The governor of
Connecticut claims the right to rule
and tax New York city. The mayor of
New York city is willing to side with
the governor of Connecticut. The gov
ernor of New York decides he will, by
force, take charge of the city and oust
the mayor.
That Is the immediate situation, but
what makes the situation one of world
importance Is that larger factors are
entering.
Marshal Tsao Kun Is president of
China with his capital at the ancient
Imperial city of Peking. His greatest
general Is Marshal Wu Pei Fu who. In
reality, Is the stronger man of the two
and dominates the president. These
two are taking the side of the governor
of Klangsu who Is attempting to take
Shanghai. This might be compared to
the president of the United States tak
ing the side of the governor of New
York In the Imaginary American case
being used as a parallel.
But China occupies a position now
somewhat similar to that In this coun
try at the time of the Civil war. South
China has seceded from the rest of the
country and has set up the South
China republic, with Dr. Sun Yat Sen
at Its head. He makes his capital at
the great city of Canton. He has taken
sides with the defense commissioner of
Shanghai and the governor of Che
kiang. Tills may be compared to the
President of the southern Confederacy
at the time of the Civil war taking
sides with the governor of Connecti
cut In the Imaginary American com
parison.
Now, In addition, there Is far to the
north the great Marshal Chang, the
1 dictator of Manchuria and eastern
j Mongolia. He has taken the side of
the governor of Chiang. This might
be compared to the governor of Mich
igan, In our Imaginary case, joining
with the governor of Connecticut.
So there exists the alignment: Pres
ident Tsao Kun, Marshal Wu Pei Fu
and Governor Chi of Klangsu on one
Ride with President Sun Yat Sen, Mar
shal Chang. Governor Lu and the de
fense commissioner of Shanghai, Ho,
on the other.
General Believed a Traitor.
There Is another highly interesting
military factor. General Feng Is com
mander of the garrison of Peking.
While nominally nnder President Taao
and Marshal Wu he la strongly sus
pected of having sympathies with the
other side. At any moment he may
throw his strength to It.
From 800,000 to 1,000,000 men are
likely to participate in this war. The
North China side apparently has the
superiority In numbers. Marshal Wu
Pei Fu, It is estimated, commands 890,
000 men. General Feng, supposedly hli
ally, has 30.000, and General Chi some
where near 100,000; Marshal Chang
has about 1731,000; Doctor Sun, 130,000;
Governor Lu about 50,000, and the
Shanghai commissioner a garrison of
some thousands.
Blasphemer*’ Fines Pay
for British Clubhouse
Durham. England.—Fines collected
from blasphemers have paid for a
handsome clubhouse opening recently
at Newbrnncepeth, a Durham colliery
village.
The club was first suggested at a
dance, where some men’s “language”
caused offense to a group of miners,
who agreed, there and then, to stop
swearing and to fine themselves if
they broke their promise.
They formed the nonswearing club
to receive the fines, and, strange to re
late, new members were added with
surprising rapidity. Everybody kept
a sharp ear out for blasphemers, who
were called upon frequently to pay
fines, and the Infant club’s exchequer
soon waxed prosperous.

Are you self-conscious
about the impression
you make on people?
PERSONAL appearance has a lot
to do with the way you feel.
I Clothes count, of course, put still
there is one tiling so many people
overlook—something that at once
prands them as either fastidious or
careless—the teeth.
Notice today how you, yourself,
watch another person’s teeth when
he or she is talking. If the teeth are
nor well kept they at once become a
liability.
