Ashburn Says Using Navigable
Streams Brings Cheaper
Transportation
Milwaukee. Wis.. July 10. Just
as Noah's vision in building the ark
brought continued life to the human
,race, so are inland waterways to
bring added prosperity to the great
central section of the United States,
Major General T. Q. Ashburn, chair
man and executive of the Inland
Waterways corporation, said today
in his add,ress before the American
Society of Civil Engineers.
Noah, said General Ashburn, was
scoffed at as a "nut." but he kept
on hammering away, and when the
flood came made Mount Ararat tlie
world's first satisfactory port. And
even now, the general added, every
yuan who throws himself into the
struggle for inland and coastwise
waterways transportation meets tne
SillllC
criticisms and objections.
''Critics Dumfounded."
"But," he continued, "time and
experience are dumfounding their
critics, even as Noah did when his
i ark rose upon the rest of the waters
land saved the faithful few of those
llnv v lir believed in v:itr t'.f Im
portation."
The Inland Waterways corpora
tion, established by congress, is not
a colossal failure, General Ashburn
" 1 t a , . a i a . - . r i J ' ,
I sain, ii nas snown mat utilization
I of navigable streams would result
in cheaper transportation. It ha?
shown that the policy of congress
has been the result of far-sighted .
vision, and was not a mistake.
Says Corporation Pays. j
Inland waterways, said the gen-;
eral. fall into three distinct classes;
the great lake's, improved rivers
and canals. He advocated a power-1
ful system of common carriers to
bring to the public, which is taxed ;
for creating the channels, the great
est benefit. j
In explaining the good the Inland :
Waterways corporation has done.;
General Ashburn also showed its cost
is being met from revenues. Last
year revenues met the entire costij
and brought a o.O cent net income jj
on the dollar, he said.
Cost of transferring cargoes from
barge to railroad car or vice versa
must be absorbed, he said, bv the
rail-water rate. This could b- ac
complished by a standard depth chan
nel, to save changing from upper
riter barges to lower river craft, or
from lake and boat to canal barge.

DOCTORS'
LIVES ARE SHORTEST
Portland, Ore., July 12. A recent
study of a life table of American
physicians shows that the average
doctor does not profit greatly by his
superior knowledge of the human
body and its functions when it comes
to adding years to his life, was the
rather depressing statement received
in a report from the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co., here Friday as
members of the American Medical as
sociation were winding up a 5-day in
tensive study on the ailments of hu
manity. I The insurance company's table of
morality revealed that doctors 3o
years of age had a life expectarcy
of only 3S years while ordinary male
policy holders cf the same age had .
an expectancy of 40 years.
The Journal Job Department is
