Railroad System Must Be Bettered, Authorities A^ree All Probl eins Revolve \round That of Transportation— School of Government Ownership Growing. It) OROIMifS F. \l THIKK II < orrraiHMi'igd Tlir Onialia lice. Washington, Dec. IB.—(Special.)— ! Careful consideration of President Harding's message to congress and i Its application to the pending political situation sharply calls attention to . the «uct that the transportation prob lem is basic and that alt others re volve around it. Without realizing wha*. Has l>een happening, the Amer ican people. In their expansion as n lialion, have been undergoing a revo lution in transport system. Jt can not be disguised that the present sys tem is breaking down, that it must he Improved, and possibly radically al tered. As the situation presents it •elf today, tho school of government 1 ownership has Income unwittingly Urge, nnd resort to this course, with j all the danger that it entails of forc 1 Inp the railroads Into politics more thnn ever, inny be the final solution. Senator Albert It. Cummins of Iowa, one of the authors of the Ksch-Cum mins transportation act, realizes tills, •nd In answer to the arguments of 1 more ralical leaders who demand the •crapping of the law, says “the al ternate Is government ownership.’’ i State Control Came First. The present tendency of regulation i la along that line. First came slate eontrol and popular revolt against control of local politics by the roads. This was followed by the centering of government control in Washington in , the hands of tho llnterstate Com i merco commission. Under the present transportation law, provision Is made for the consolidation of groups Into | regional systems and Senator Cum mins, backed by the recommendations of the president, proposes to make these consolidations compulsory. The Kscli-Cummlns law, through I government regulation of rates, re-1 moves competition in rates and leuves : only that of service. In formulating Its tentative plan of consolidations, the Interstate Commerce commission proposes to preserve, so far as pos sible, natural competitive systems so that the incentive to better service will remain. Pool Kqiiipinent. It Is proposed, also, to pool inter- ■ Changeable equipment, and own ter minal facilities in common, in the large centers. All of these combina tions are supported in the interest of economy, Senator Cummins holding that by tho combinations suggested, a saving of at least $500,000,000 an nually could be made. This process of combination and | pooling may be In the interest of economy, but it tends, also, toward j the pooling of all the systems Into i i one management, which naturally,: could be exerted only by the govern- j ment. That this idea is becoming j more insistent, is evidenced by the ! suggestion here r.nd tlieie by thought- , fill students of the problem that it I might lie well for the government to ! operate single lines or groups ns ex mi pies to the vest of tho railway world. Strung? Phenomenon in Transporta tion. During the past few months, the 1 Country has been witnessing n strange , phenomenon in tho transportation world. Despite strikes, notvvithstand i ing the breakdown *f nrgtculture and ; the stoppage of business Incident to 1 the rehabilitation of the post-war j period, the roads have lieen carrying 1 the heaviest business of their history. : It bus been accompanied by serious car shortages, by the breakdown of j motive equipment, now 23 per cent i out of repair, causing hardships and 1 serious financial losses. The country | Is just passing through the crisis, not without being lmdly hurt, owing to the seasonal decline in freight offer ings. Nevertheless, the incident has been a flaming signboard along the way. The populatnon, tho wealth and the productiveness of the country are increasing. Few people exercise tho imagination necessary to visualize the tremendous growth of the country In prospect. Within 100 years, the popu lation has increased 10 times and while the tide of imigration has been somewhat deflected, the natural Increase of so large a basic popula tion will be tremendous. Its growth Will be like that of a snowball which Increases in proportion to its size. If the railroads are finding it difficult to meet the transportation problem of today, what llklihood is there of i their ability to meet it tomorrow? IJtlle Railroad Construction. At the present time, thera is little additional railroad construction. Even control of the roads through the In terstate Commerce commission, docs not satisfy all, in#stors are approach ing railroad flotations with question ing. This may he due to thought . less popular agitation, yet it is never theless true. President Harding has sensed this approaching problem, although his : message docs not go into it fully. , / The president is probably working with caution, yet there is food for i thought In his suggestion that a system of co-ordinated transportation be built. Including inland waterways, the motor truck, the electric line, the steam railroad and the oceangoing ship. Nothing seems more essential at Washington than a bureau of trans portation which will grapple with and solve problems which must be solved if the United States is to realize its economic possibilities. • 1 President Harding feels that a merchant marine is essential in such a well rounded system. While nien may differ as to the wisdom of the shit) subsidy bill as a method of solu tion. no one questions that n mer chant marine is essential. To Consider Inland Waterways. The development of inland water ways is another feature of the sltua tton which is bound to receive con sideration. The United States is es pecially fortunate, in the possession of a marvelous system of rivers and lakes, especially the central farming portion. French strategists realized this when men. like ljaSalk* were reaching out in an attempt to link Quebec with New Orleans. This droftm is hoing visualized to day by those who ace trying to put I hie la the Oreat hakes St. haw tenet- waterways canal project. The linte has come when even the railway leaders, hho for years otwtrttcted in land waterway developments, are be ginning to welcome them in the reali zation they cannot long handle the business offered them. With lit tW de i velopment of new mileage, the point of saturation must soon be reached. With the problem now in Its acute stagi . it is realized that some large constructive policy must lie worked out and it is probably fortunate that obstructions in the way will prevent too speedy settlements. As the situation now develops, the difficulties of the farmer, the prob lem of transportation of coal, iron and other necessities, the high prices of foods and wearing apparel, all re volve around the question of the high cost of transportation and its inade quacy. No Definite Tolley in ((ingress. In congress there is no definite pol icy under consideration. One school clings tenaciously to the Idea of pri vate ownership and operation while the other is veering rapidly towards open avowal of the policy of govern ment ownership. The present scheme j has not yet been sufficiently tried out to determlno its workability and the delay in settlement which the political 1 situation necessitates, will give more time, both for this experiment and for the development of wiser counsel. In the present session, the legisla tive jam will prevent a vigorous ad justment of the question, while the di vision certain in the next congress negatives any action. It is certain that the transportation problem of the country will be a ma jor Issue in the coming national elec tion. The average citizen is going to have , something to say about the answer which is as it should be. Transporta tion is a vital necessity, as much so \ as the postal system. leaders In the newly-elected con I gross propose to let the water out of railroad stocks, cutting off something j like $7,000,000 of the roads' tentative I valuation. This may not seem vital j lo those who do not own railroad stocks, but when It is remembered that the great insurance companies j and other fiduciary concerns own j huge (|uantitles of these stocks—in- ] vestments In which the earnings of millions everywhere are used, even this feature of the railroad question becomes more engrossing to every in dividual citizen. _ I Admiral Takes Creek King for Naval Officer U. S. Official Swaps Yarns With Youth in Uniform, j i Who Later Proves to Be lying. Athens, Dec. 16.—‘‘Kings are good fellows and good sports—I like kings —but the trouble with them, they look so much like real people,” re marked Hear Admiral Samuel Mc Gowan, retired quartermaster gen eral, Vnlted States navy, who is now in Athens as business manager for American Red Cross relief work in Greece. Admiral McGowan speaks as an expert. He Just hath an audi ence with King George that probably will have a separate page when the Greek history of 1922-23 is written. The veteran Yankee naval officer requested an audience with the king and was informed that if he would call at the palace the next day at 11 he would be received. Arriving at the palace on schedule time he presented his name. A white kilted soldier from the palace guard opened the door and ushered the ad miral to a seat. In the opposite cor ner of the chamber, which seemed to be a sort of ante-room to the royal apartments, sat a husky, good look ing young naval officer. Opens Conversation. Noting the broad gold band on the sleeves of the youth’s uniform. Ad miral McGowan opened a conversa tion. "You are an admiral are you not?” asked the American. ''Yes," this Is an admiral's uniform of the Greek navy,” replied the youth with a smile. "You live here in the palace?” Ad miral McGowan suggested. "Mostly, I have a country palace, too,” the youth agreed. •'Well, 1 don't know, this court life cannot be so pleasant for a young man who has known life at sea with a good crowd on a good ship and the smell of fresh soa air.” "I get tired of it sometimes,” said ; the young officer; "it's a lot of work.” j "I know, you have got to do It, but don't get discouraged, they won't : keep a smart young officer like you j on shore forever, you will he getting I out soon. When do you expect to j leave Athens?” Tho youth srvnieu and looked erg- ] barrassed, , Depended on People. "I really don't know, for it do- I pends on tiow the iieople like me. 1 ! may bo here permanently and I may j get out at any time. Anyway, I am doing ray best on the job and X hope to make good.” .No one Interrupted the conversa tion for half an hour and the two men chatted pleasantly for half an hour, swapping yarns of naval life, commenting on the high cost of dress uniforms, tho ridiculous prices of gold epaulets, these days, and the general dullness of life on shore. Finally the young man rose and extended his hand, saying: “I am afraid I must go. 1 have an appointment with some friends in a few minutes. I hope to see you again. ’ Left In Ante-Room. Dining last night at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, Admiral McGowan met a foreign office official and com mented on the lack of hospitality at the palace. “I went up there at the right time and presented myself, hut they just shoved me into an ante room and left me there. T stayed around for half an hour talking with a young navy chap and then I got tired und came back here. I never saw the king at all.” Tho Greek official looked puzzled. j ■'I cannot understand Monsieur 1' Admiral. I have just come from the ' palace and there his majesty him i self assured me that he had seen you j and spent a delightful and charming ; half hour in your company.” Of 2.14ft famous men of England, i I 1,270 are sous of pteachers j Jersey Silk Underwear Women’s Vests—Made of heavy Jersey silk in bodice top with silk straps, in flesh only.

Omaha’s Health Bill for 1022 Totals $250,000 Health Conservation Extends to Every Place of Social and Industrial Life. Omaha lias spent approximately $2&0,00l* tills year for the conserva tion of health. This total includes the regular appropriation fur the city health department, the medical de partment of the schools, health educa tion In the public schools, social hy giene work by a quasi-public orgnniza tion, the work of. the Visiting Xurse I association and other activities identi fled with general work of promoting ! health and preventing disease. ) Health as an economic asset of a community lias been recognized in creasingly during the last few years by municipal and school officials. The work extends to the individual child and adult In home, school, office, fac tory, store and other places of social and industrial life. The general health work of the city is done by tlio health department in the city hall, this department exer cising a regulatory authority over all other activities. $170,000 fur Year. The cost of operating the health do partment during 1S22 was $170,000 which includes hospitals for con tagious diseases, Inspection of food, packing houses, milk, dairies, water; quarantine of contagious and com tnunicable diseases: removal of gar bage; bacteriological and chemical tests, and a number of other associat ed activities. Records are kept of all cases of diphtheria, smallpox, chick enpox, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, whooping cough, typhoid fever, polio myelitis, cerebro spinal meningitis, anthrax, erysipelas, tetanus, tulurcu I losis. In cases of diphtheria, throat cul tures are Bent to the health depart ment laboratory for tests. AYlien the patient has recovered, two negative cultures must be recorded before quarantine is released, and in the case of a school child another test is made when the child has returned to school for a week.

The health department maintains a sanitary in spector. The new barber shop in spection board is attache! to the health department. The social hy giene work has office space in the health department rooms. All these activities are based on the theory | that Omaha should be a place where health is promoted according to the most approved methods and the rules of modern science.

Many Defective Teeth. Many children are removed fron the schools during a year on account of being “diphtheria carriers.” Dur ing the last school year 3.4S2 school children were sent to the free denta d spensary During that year ex amlnatlons showed that 42 per cun' of school children had defectiv> teeth. School children are being taught the importance of persona cleanliness, rest, food and fresh air They arc weighed and measured nr cording to government standards They are examined regularly to de terinlne defects of vis'on, hearing teeth and throats.
