GAR SHORTAGE
MORE SERIOUS
FURTHER NORTH
Nebraska Not a Hard Hit as
Dakotas and Minnesota in
Movement of
' Grain.
Lincoln, Aug. 13. (Special.) The
Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and
some other states north are not in
as good condition as regard pros
pects for moving grain as is Ne
braska, according to Thorne Browne
of the state railway commission, who
is home from a trip to Washington,
where he went in hopes of getting
a line on what states norm or us
, were trying to do at a meeting be
fore the Interstate Commerce com
mission. "On account of those states being
o much worse ofi than ourselves,"
said Mr. Browne, "I was a little
" tearful that they might put up some
kind of argument which might lead
the national commission to. believe
that Nebraska was getting more than
its share, and we would suffer there
by. However, their argument was
of such a nature that the commis
sion became somewhat irritated and
finally closed the hearing. They told
the northern fellows that the com
mission was simply doing all that it
possibly could to handle the situa
tion, and that as the Dakotas had
-received a 14 per cent increase in
the box car supuly, they could not
reasonably ask for more under the
present conditions."
Trouble In East.
According to Mr. Browne, the
trouble lies in the east. Coal cars
are coming west much faster' than
they can be returned and yet there
are miles of loaded coal cars stand-
Mug on the tracks of the Baltimore
iv unio rauroaa w?mng 10 De nauiea
away.
Mr. Browne had a personal talk
with Chairman Clarke of the Inter
state Commerce commission and told
him that the Nebraska commission
stood ready to co-operate in every
way with him in the handling of trie
western situation, but wanted no
change' just now.
According to observations of Mr.
Browne, box cars appear to be mov
jng, but coal cars are conjested. In
spite of the large amount of loaded
coal cars on the, B. & O., Washing
ton nonpars tn be ha vine a hard
time securing coal.
Potato Growers Need Cars.
During the hearing, Minnesota
men brought up the matter of the
potato situation and said that about
one-half of the vegetable crop of
that state had been lost because of
lack of shipping facilities, and unless
relief came ttiere would be a big
loss in $he potato crop for the same
reason.'1
It will take 28 months to move the
wheat crop of Kansas, according to
information given at the hearing,
while the crop of Nebraska can be
moved in about eight months. The
corn crop of this state is going to
have a hard time when, it comes to
shipment. St. Louis and other south
ern terminals are getting out the
cars just as fast as it can be done.
That Nebraska is being well looked
after, is evidenced by the fact that
on July 1 roads serving Nebraska
had 88 per cent of the ownership
cars, while the roads serving north
ern states near us had but 70 per
cent of their owned cars.

Woman's Life Happier-Than
Man's After 35, Says Doctor
London, Aug. 13. Addressing the
Medico-Legal society on the suicide
idea, Dr. Josiah Oldfield said statis
tics covering a large number of years
indicated that womes lives after
35 years were pleasanter and more
attractive than men's.
In spite of the popular idea that the
young woman was the queen of the
earth, and that at sweet 17 she had
the world at her feet, it was evi
denced that from the ages of 15 to
35 more young women committed
suicide than young men.
After 35 the burden of life bi-
came so much heavier for men, or
life became, so much more rosy for
women, that from 35 to 80 men were
always largely in the majority
among suicides.
