turn From Motor Trip to West
Coast and Southwest.
Misses Mia and Barbara Gering re
turned home Thursday afternoon
from a very pleasant outing that has
covered some 6,000 miles and took
them to the west coast and the
strangely fascinating land of the
southwest.
The ladies had arranged their trip
so that the journey took them to
the places of greatest interest, great
scenic wonders and the great struc
tures of man's handiwork, among the
latter the great Boulder dam in Ne
vada and the two bridges that span
San Francisco Bay and the Golden
Gate.
Among the great scenes of natural
beauty visited by the ladies was that
of the Zion park and Bryce canyon
in Utah, which in recent years had
proven two of the most attractive
spots in the west for the tourists and
seekers after the true beauty of the

mountain country, they also visited
at the Grand Canyon of the Colo
rado. .
. The ladies are enthusiastic over
the great city of San Francisco and
its many places of interest and while
there they had the opportunity of
visiting the magnificent Huntington
library, one of the greatest in the
United States. They also motored
along the seventy mile ocean drive
to see the varied beauty of California
and at Mt. Carmel, California, had
the pleasure of a visit with Mrs. Jo
seph Klein, a former Plattsmouth
lady who has made her home on the
west ccast for many years.
Traveling to Sacramento, the
ladies enjoyed the varied scenery in
that part of the west, motoring , to
Lake Tahoe, located in the moun
tains and one of the most beautiful
of the spots in that section. At
Sacramento the ladies also met Mr.
and Mrs. Moite Streight, old Platts
mouth residents, with whom they
had a pleasant visit and who assisted
in showing them the sight of that
part of the country. .
A pleasant feature was the drive
over the Mother Lode road, a high
way that was used for many years
for the transport of the gold and
silver from the mines of California
and Nevada.
Turning southward the ladies
spent several days in Los Angeles to
visit with the old friends and then a
journey into old Mexico where they
found many places of interest and
in viewing the scenes and customs
of the residents. On the way toward
the homeland they stopped at Tomb
stone, Arizona, one of the vivid places
in the history of the southwest in the
days of the bad men and hard living,
and as the name indicates, a habitat
of the gunmen of the 70's and 80's.
While in Arizona they stopped at
Wilcox, near where they visited Mrs.
E. L. Siggins, who lived here a num
ber of years ago and now has a most
attractive ranch.
After a stop at 1 Paso and a
short trip into Mexico, the ladies
turned their way northward and
stopped at Oklahoma City for a visit
at that city with Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Herold and family and then on home.
With the many places of interest
visited, however, the ladies found the
most alluring that of their own home
on North Sixth street in good old
Nebraska-

Railroads
Picture Pay Cut
as Recovery
Conclude Testimony on the Matter of
Wage Reduction as Aid to
Recovery Program.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (Up)
The railroad industry, In concluding
testimony .before President Roose
velt's wage board, today pictured its
croDosed 15 ner cent wage cut as a
possible boost to recovery.
- Dr. J. H. Parmelee, hlef statis
tician for the association, challenged
statistics of railroad labor which the
unions presented to show that wage
reduction was unjustifiable. .
He cited a speech made by Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Joseph-
B. Eastman in Chicago last April
warning: railroad labor to be cau
tious in its wage demands.
These benefits might accrue from
a wage reduction. Parmelee said:
1. It would nermit railroads to
call back furloughed employees and
thus reduce rail labor unemployment
2. Railroads could "enlarge their
building programs."
3. The carriers would be allle to
increase their maintenance forces.
4. The aggregate purchasing pow
er of railroad employees might be
maintained or even Increased through
recall of employees now without jobs.
5. Industry as a whole would be
stimulated" by the purchases of
materials and machinery which the
railroads would be in a position to
make.
6. Credit of some railroads would
be improved so they could pay bills
and acquire new credits for mainten
ance and other improvements.

in that communistic fable. I am a
complete and whole-hearted demo
