Washington. — President Roose
velt 1* heartily In favor of the re
cent action of the Interstate Com
merce commission, as a result of
which the New Haven railroad Is
now seeking receivership with a
▼lew to scaling down its capital
debt structure.
It has been In the President’s
mind for some time that the Inter
est payments being made by the
rallroada were entirely too high. He
has frequently commented to friends
that whenever a bond Issue Is made,
by a railroad or any other business,
provision should be made for an an
nual curtailment of that loan, so
that at the end of a given number
of years the bonds could be retired
from the sinking fund. Frequently,
he has pointed out, the bonds are
■till part of the road's capital debt,
and adding sharply to Its fixed
charges, when the Improvement for
which they were Issued has long
since beeu worn out and replaced,
usually by another bond Issue.
The original idea of the admin
Istrntlon was to use the Missouri
Paeflc as a yard stick In cutting
down the capital structures of the
railroads. The plan was to reor
ganlze this railroad, always a weak
alster, though always prominent as
an Important link In first this and
then that transcontinental line, in
such fashion that It could earn sev
eral tiroes its fixed charges, and
hence sell bonds on a 3 to 4 per
cent basis.
Actual figures as to amount of
bonds and Interest are so compll
cated, with the Missouri Pacific and
the New Haven, and for that mnt
ter with all railroads, that Ulus
tratlons would take a column to
axplaln. But here Is the Roosevelt
Ides Illustrated limply.
Suppose a railroad had soOO.OOO,
000 of bonds outstanding, at an av
erage Interest rate of 6 per cent
Some railroad bonds bear ns low ax
4 per cent, and some as high as 7
per cent, but the average Is not far
from 6 per cent because there are
more of the higher rate bonds than
of the lower rate.
To Illustrate
In this Illustration, the fixed
charges of the road, so far as bond
Interest Is concerned, would be $30.
000,000 s year. Taxes and this bond
Interest as well, of course, as all
operating expenses must be paid be
fore anything can be given the
stockholders. In addition, every
time some of the bonds fall due
the railroad has a terrible time
floating a new Issue even If It Is n
fairly prosperous road, and usually
has to pay handsome bnnkers’ com
missions for placing the new bonds.
Now suppose, further, that the
road, after paying operating ex
pensea and taxes, has Just $20,000,
000 left over, on the average, for
bond Interest. Which actually Is lit
tie better than the case of the Mis
sourl Pacific, and a little worse
than the case of the New Haven.
The New Heal plan would be for
this mythical road to go through
receivership, as the New Haven Is
about to do, and take advantage of
Section 77(b) of the bankruptcy act.
When It emerges. It might have a
total capital debt in bonds of $400.
000,000, but on a 3V» per cent bnsls.
This would make Its annunl bond
Interest bill $14,000,000 Instead of
$^0,000,000. As the average earnings
applicable to bond Interest would
be $6,000,000 In excess of this, how
ever, the road could expect the low
er Interest rate. But Instead of the
$8,000,000 In addition being paid In
dividends, s sizable fraction of It,
say $5,000,000, would be used to re
tire bonds every year.
The stockholders would be act
ually better off than they were be
fore. In the Illustration given, there
would probably be no dividends for
some time after the reorganization.
But the property In which they
have an equity would be at least on
the road to s better situation.
Whereas If reorganized under the
old tooth and claw method, they
would probably get nothing.
The same sort of plun has been
worked rather successfully on non
railroad corporations, though of
course the most Important new
phase sf the law Is that It prevents
such reorganizations being held up
by minority security holders de
manding more than their share.
“Pitiless Publicity”
President Roosevelt Is expected to
decide that present regulations and
practices protecting the names of
exporters of war supplies from pub
licity should be modified, thus ap
plying the “pitiless publicity" so
much talked about by his former
chief, Woodrow Wilson, to the pres
ent situation.
Under the present practice, ship
manifests are held confidential. If
such a request Is made by the ex
porter. Even where publicity Is al
lowed, the name of the exporter
is not made public. Thus It was Im
possible for reporters in New York
recently to be sure which of the
ell companies had made some very
large shipments of oil to Italy.
Treasury officials are considering
permitting publication by newspa
pers of every detail as to exports.
Naturally, they will not do so If
the State department objects, and
conversations on tthls point are now
proceeding. Officials of both depart
roents, as they admit In private con
versationa—though, of course, they
decline to be quoted—favor such
publicity, and It la their confident
expectation that the President will
agree with them.
Such a change of course would
have no legal effect In deterring
anyone who wished to ship such
war supplies aa are not banned by
the President’s proclamation. The
reason the oil companies and ship
pera of other war supplies are op
posed to any change, and wish to
retain the present protective se
crecy. Is that they fear a boycott
of their products by individuals who
would resent what they would re
gard as “war profiteering.”
It Is increasingly manifest thgt
the sentiment of the country wa*
strongly behind the action already
taken by the President, and that
It would favor going even further
—aave where the pocketbook of In
dividual sections might be affected
This Is realized by the companies
now selling oil to Italy.
Limit Motor Speed
Automobile manufacturers are not
talking about It, publicly, but they
realize a very strong tendency which
may force limitation of the poaslbli
speed of automobiles. Motor-cat
makers discussed the situation very
seriously at a recent meeting It
New York. Of course they are pre
pared to fight such legislation, elth
er by the states or the federal gov
eminent, but the vice president o
one of the big companies admitted
to friends here within Che last few
days that the motor industry woult'
not be surprised to see such legialti
tlon very widespread within tw<
yenrs.
In the face of advertisements thai
new models will “crowd 100 mllef
an hour,” most of the present con
slderatlon of the problem by It.'
advocation Is aimed at restrlcttoi
to speeds not exceeding 00 miles ni
hour. Some of the extremists wouh
go as low as 45, the speed limit oi
the open road In a good many states
The Idea suggested wonld be to pro
hlblt the operation In a given stati
of a car capable of running In ex
cess of a given number of miles pei
hour.
If only one large state, or an.'
state regardless of size, whosi
citizens buy a large number of cars
should Impose such a restriction
the effect on all motor mnnufac
turerB wonld he very serious In
deed.
Liquor Regulations
Ueports from the distillers nl
over the country Indicate that then
will be no Important opposition b
the new regulations which Admin
Istrator Franklin C. Hoyt has sup
gested for lnhellng liquor. It Is al
ready virtually decided that sonu
administrative changes will b<
asked, but only one change In th<
proposed regulations will be rec
ommended that is of any Interes
to liquor purchasers.
That Is the desire for postpone
ment for a mouth, or two month
at most, of the dates on which tin
new regulations go Into effect.
As at present proposed, afte
Janunry 1 next no whiskey can b<
branded as “straight" unless It ha
been aged In charred oak casks fo
at least one year. After Juno 3<
*iext no whiskey can be labele<
"straight" unless It has been slml
Inrly aged for 18 months, and aftei
Janunry 1, 1937, for two years.
The Industry would like to mark
up these three dates, especially the
first one. But as to the general Idea
there Is very little dissent. It Is gen
erally recognized thnt conditions
have changed, with the passage of
time since repeal, which Justify the
higher standards that the proposed
Hoyt regulations set up.
As to blended whiskey, the re
strlctlons would merely be that not
less than 20 per cent of any whiskey
marked "blend" should conform to
the requirements for "straight"
whiskey—that Is that after Jnnuar.v
1 next this proportion of straight
whiskey must be used, and that It
must have been aged In charred
casks for one full year, afte- June
30 It must be 18 months old, and
after January 1, 1937. It must be
two years old.
Must Be Labeled
Another restriction which is gen
erally approved requires that the
amount of neutral spirits, or al
cohol, used In blended whiskey must
be stated, and also that It must be
plainly labeled that such neutral
spirits were produced from grain,
or molasses, or whatever.
Actually very little neutral spir
its made from molasses or other
than grain hases Is now used In
blending whiskey and gin. In the
early days of repeal one of the
largest producers. In an eastern city,
used almost exclusively neutral spir
its made from molasses. There Is not
alleged to he any question that such
neutral spirits are any more harm
ful than those made from grain.
Actually the two products are not
different chemically, it Is Just a
question of taste. For rensoris which
flabbergast the chemist alcohol pro
duced from grain seems to make a
smoother blend than alcohol of the
same chemical content made from
molasses.

Granite Quarry in New Hampshire.
Prepared tey National Ueoyraphlc Society,
Wruhlngton, U. C.—WNU Service.
NEW HAMPSHIRE, the Gran
ite atate, claims primacy in
many things. In 1770 Its Co
lonial assembly adopted the first
written constitution to be enjoyed
by any of the states. Two years
before this It was on New Hamp
shire soil that the first armed blow
was struck at British domination,
when a band of patriots, led by
John Sullivan and John Langdon,
overpowered the small garrison at
Fort William and Mary, In Ports
mouth harbor, and took away the
•tores of powder. These were hid
den beneath the pulpit In the old
meeting house at Durham and were
later taken to Hunker Hill, where
another New Hampshire patriot,
John Stark, used the ammunition
In the engagement which first
showed the quality of the New Eng
land rebels.
Apropos of Stark at Bunker Mill,
there Is a story that two British of
ficers were wutchlng the debarka
tion of their troops and were look
ing toward the crest of the hill
where the Colonists had gathered.
“Will they fight?” said one to the
other. And his companion, who had
served with Stark during the In
dian wars, replied, “If one John
Stark Is there, they’ll fight.” The
annual celebration of Bunker I1II1
day in Boston Is In consequence
something of an Irritation to the
New Hampshire mind, because It
recalls that New Hampshire fur
nished most of the men. and that
It was the strntegy of John Stark
of that state which gave the Colo
nials their success.
It Is somewhat surprising to note
that this same John Sullivan who
led the midnight marauders at Fort
William and Mary should have
proved so cautious a member of
the Continental congress which for
mulated the Declaration of Independ
ence. But when the die was cast,
none was more courageous thnn he,
and bis march against the six na
tions Is celebrated, even to this
day.
Had First Free Library
Among the other firsts, and one
which gives New Hampshire much
satisfaction, Is the fact that at Pe
terboro was established the first
free public library supported wholly
by public taxation. This library Is
now housed In a handsome build
ing, the gift of a successful son of
the town; and In many another
community may be seen similar
proofs of affection for the old state
•nd the home town.
For two centuries New Hamp
shire was a nursery of seamen, and
from Colonial times Its seaboard
resounded to the stroke of the calk
er’s mallet. From Portsmouth set
forth the expedition to Loulshurg
with New Hampshire men carried
In New Hampshire bottoms, and It
was at Portsmouth, too, that John
Paul Jones fitted ont the Rnnger
• nd sailed with her, flying the Stars
and Stripes to which the first of
ficial salute was paid by a foreign
nation.
The navy yard at Portsmouth
dates back to the Revolutionary pe
riod. The house In which John
Paul Jones lived while superintend
ing the building of his Ranger Is
still standing and Is the home of
the Portsmouth Historical society.
Another of the handsome old prop
erties of those days, the Moffatt
Ladd house. Is now the home of
the Colonial Dames, who, upon oc
casion, renew the traditions of the
house for gracious hospitality.
During the days of wooden ships,
while we were dependent for our de
fense. as was ancient Athens, upon
“wooden walls." the Portsmouth
navy yard was a busy place. The
Constitution, “Old Ironsides," was
rebuilt there; and now. rebuilt
again, she has In recent years paid
a visit to her foster-mother In New
Hampshire. During the World war.
Portsmouth again hummed with In
dustry. and the yard has now he
come the country’s principal base
| for the construction of submarines.
1 one of the two largest of the craft
having slid from Portsmouth ways.
Ships for the World War.
During the World far. there
sprang up on the hanks of the Pig
| cataqua. Just above Portsmouth,
I shipyards, one for wooden and
the other for steel vessels. These
J craft of Portsmouth origin did their
full share la the winning of the
war, and the yards are now turned
to the uses of peace, one as a dye
plant, and the other for the manu
facture of gypsum products, the raw
material being brought from Nova
Scotia.
At Portsmouth, too, was built the
Kearsarge, with oaken timbers taken
from the slopes of the mountain
whose name she bore. She laid
her bones upon a Caribbean reef,
but New Hampshire does not for
get that her record Is written.—
Portsmouth, Cherbourg, Roncador.
So Important, Indeed, was the
shipbuilding Industry In New Hamp
shire that the state seal bore, and
still hears, the representation of a
ship upon the stocks, though Its
heraldry has recently been revised;
and, while the ship still remains
upon the state’s escutcheon, the
barrel of rum which stood so prom
inently In the foreground was
erased, In deference, perhaps, to
the Eighteenth amendment.
The embargo act laid a heavy
hand upon our shipping, but'coinci
dent with It came the beginning of
that development of our water pow
ers which has created the Indus
trial cities of which we continue
to be proud.
Thus New Hampshire stands
forth today, the little state with
the big history. Its ppulatlon Is al
most stationary, succeeding cen
suses giving It little beyond the nat
ural Increase. Its taxable Inven
tory, though jacked high by the in
genious devices of modern taxing
hoards. Is probably excelled by sev
eral private fortunes In the United
States; but still the people of the
state manage to have most of the
things which modern life insists to
be necessary.
New Hampshire’s automobile reg
istrations, for Instance, are In such
number that it is possible to take
the entire population of the state
for a Sunday afternoon ride. To
accommodate them the state has
developed a series of trunk high
ways, three In number, which tra
verse the state from the Massa
chusetts border to the Canadian
line, piercing the White mountains
and following the course of the
stnte’s greatest rivers. To these
the commonwealth Is adding cross
state roads, which will gridiron
New Hampshire with modern high
ways.
Good State Institutions.
New Hampshire’s state Institu
tions provide for all the needs of
the state's dependent, delinquent,
and defectives, and for Its enter
prising youth the University of
New Hampshire presents expanding
courses for the training of young
men and women, who, unfortunate
ly, In too great numbers, do not re
main In the state to ennble it to
enjoy the fruits of Its bounty to
them.
Its public schools are now so
arranged, so equipped, and so sup
ported through state aid that no
child need lack full 36 weeks of
schooling each year, with free bus
transportation and In some In
stances with a free lunch thrown
In.
Its agriculture In particular Is a
subject for pride. The runners are
hard-working and thrifty, and many
of them upon their stony acres can
realize the truth of the old Jest,
that even sheep In New Hampshire
had to be provided with steel muz
zles to enable them to graze, gnd
that most of the crops of the state
had to be planted with a shotgun.
New Hampshire agriculture has
specialized of late particularly In
the dairying and truck line; but.
even at Its best, It cannot yield the
the rich rewards which farmers
have secured In other states.
In common with the entire agri
cultural brotherhood of the coun
try. New Hampshire farmers have
suffering from changed conditions
and from existing depression. But
they are still self-respecting and
self-supporting.
But a native points out he sup
poses that the state's chief product
will continue to be men, In token
of which, as Webster said, “The Al
mighty has hung out a sign high
up in our hills,” where the Old Man
of the Mountain, with the storms
of ages beating upon his rugged
brow, broods ceaselessly over the
moving scene which is unfolded be
fore him.

Governor Brann of Maine is un
willing to share expenses, and Pres

would be a national misfortune.
While spending billions so freely, It
would seem worth while to spend
thirty-six little millions to harness
the gigantic tide power In the Bay

Development of that project
would supply the whole state of
Maine with power and Industrial

To allow the vast power of one

Also, according to Asso Mated
Press, the cardinal praised Fascism
as “promising the national morality
wished by the Catholic church.”
Italian soldiers In Ethiopia, much
surprised, can buy as many fresh
eggs as they want at ridiculously
low prices.
Ethiopians will not eat eggs—
their religion forbids them to de
vour “that which might have life
In the future,” but they are willing
to sell the eggs to the Italian sol
diers and let them imperil their im
mortal souls by “devouring future
life” if they choose.
Ethiopian tribesmen have no
scruples about eating the chicken,
once it is hatched, which shows
that religious scruples take inter

produced?
Railway labor unions plan a

would gladly share the expense of
that lobby if they could sell their

Running a railroad in competi

If, in Russia, you are convicted

Rejoicing In the fact that “the

The way to have a "fortified"

In these spending days that might

Uncle Sam would have something

There is encouragement in the

THE drastic economic and social
crisis found Leo Merton, a one
time enterprising young man, down
and out He was cold and tired,
homeless and friendless in Harlem.
Lenox avenue stretched ahead of
him Into the gloomy night. An
occasional spark of a lighted win
dow leered at him through the mist.
He was now broke and hungry. Oh,
but he was hungry.
He turned up his coat collar
against the wind and rain which
tore through the streets. With his
head down, he tackled a cross
street, wishing desperately that the
wind would pick him up and carry
him away—away from this lousy
city with Its vast army of success
and sucker seekers. He was not
used to this cold world of reality.
His thoughts reined brutally back
to his former care free days, as he
reached the opposite curb.
It had been three days since he
had eaten, three days in which he
had grimly stuck it out But now
—he'd swap his soul for a good
feed.
Suddenly, from around the cor
ner of a building, a man walking
briskly came to a dead standstill
In front of him. Startled, Leo looked
up. For a brief second their eyes
met.
“Here, Buddy,” said the man
tensely, and shifted something from
his pocket to Leo’s. "Keep this for
tne 1"
Leo took an involuntary step
backward. The man brushed by
and continued at a rapid gait down
the street in the direction from
which Leo had come.
Again someone appeared from
around the corner. It was a po
liceman. He hurried past Leo with
a slight glance. Fascinated, I^eo’s
eyes followed him. By this time
the cop had overtaken the first
man. They both stopped. Leo
could not hear their conversation,
but he saw the policeman grab the
man. Then they continued on down
the street and disappeared In the
foggy mist.
Leo cautiously slipped his hand
Into his coat pocket. His fingers
touched cold steel.
Dazedly he withdrew the gun and
stared at It. For several minutes
he was motionless. Hastily he re
placed It in his pocket and glanced
guiltily around him. The street was
deserted as before.
A revolver! Ills hand gripped
the handle. For the second time
he looked about him and then
quickly crossed the street In the
opposite direction from that which
the cop and the gunman had taken.
He walked about a block at a steady
pace, overwhelmed in thought.
Then, trembling from the cold, he
sought shelter in a doorway. He
sat down and leaned back. Next
to the doorway was a dingy sec
ond-hand store, where a little old
man stood leaning over the coun
ter counting a roll of bills. He was
getting ready to close for the night.
"Money,” Leo murmured, his hand
clutching the revolver. “A square
meal," he suld aloud; "with cof
fee.”
It suddenly occurred to Leo that
the door might not be locked. If
the door was unlocked, It would be
easy! The firm grip of his right
hand around the revolver assured
him how easy. His left hand
reached out—then Jerked back.
He didn't want to be a hold-up
man! He didn’t want to hold the
gun In the old man's fuce and take
away his money. He had no desire
to be a thief or a gunman! All
he wanted was food, that was all
food. What should he do?
The old man turned toward the
door, glancing away from the
money In his hands to an object in
the show case; meditated; and, ap
parently contented, went back to
the tantalizing counting
The Ungers of Leo’s right hand
tightened around the revolver. The
fingers of his left hand closed over
the door knob. He pressed tils
thumb down and the door opened.
The old man looked up and
peered over his glasses. Their eyes
met—held. Leo moved the gun
several Inches forward, dangerous
ly, but he did not speak. He hated
to say: "Hands up!”
Across the counter the old man’s
eyes continued to watch him,
shrewdly, speculatively, his face,
his shabby clothes, the gun In his
hand; then he deliberately looked
away.
"On the gun," he said casually,
calmly, “I can give up only two dol
lars.”
Leo stared at him. He felt numb,
dazed. Two dollars, think of it,
two precious dollars! Slowly he
laid the gun on the counter.
“Two dollars?’’ he repeated Joy
fully, questionlngly.
The old man picked up the gun
and proceeded to examine it care
fully, dropping the cartridges on the
| counter.
Again his keen eyes met Leo's.
"You are not from New York," he
said cunningly. “You are an unem
ployed man, having tough luck?—
Well, to you I’ll do a favor; I’ll
make it five dollars.”
Leo braced himself against the
counter with both free hands and diz
zily watched the old man count out,
painstakingly, five one-dollar bills.
"FASTING" IMPOSTOR
Of the many impostors who hare
claimed to have fasted for years ani
earned considerable money as curi
osities, the only one who did not con
fess, when undergoing an official
watch, was Sarah Jacobs of Wales.
In 1809, after her parents had swora
that for two years no food had
passed her lips, she was placed un
der surveillance of professional
nurses and died of starvation in nine
days.—Collier’s Weekly.
IFEEJJINE'
Mothers read this:
A CONSTIPATED child la so easily
straightened out, it’s a pity more
mothers don’t know the remedy.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and with any adult.
Doctors use liquid laxatives. Hospi
tals use the liquid form. If it is best
for their use, it is best for home use.
And today, there are fully a million
families that will have no other land
in the house.
The liquid laxative generally used

YOUR kidneys are constantly filter

stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in
their work—do not act as nature in
tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back
