-While Marshal Joffre was step
ping from the Washington train
which brought him to the city last
week, Mme. Joffre stepped from the
car ahead. She watched the recep

husband hut no one gave her at
tention. So she and Mile. Joffre roamed
upstairs alone. They stood at the
exit where the automobiles were
vailing for the marshal to come

move on. Mme. Joffre shrugged

tomobile took her to her hotel.
ouple Compromise on
'Obey" in Ceremony.
The "little church around the cor

obliging, but it almost lost a wed
ding ceremony this week because its
ministers would not drop the word
"obey" from the service.
John II. Awtry of Dallas, Tex.,
and Miss Neil Jacohy, a student at
Barnard college, presented them
selves to be married. They brought
an argument with them. He wanted
the ! Vobey." She did . not think it
was necessary. He put it up to the
ministers. They agreed. In fact,
they would not marry the couple un
less "obey" was in. ;

Awtry agreed, in the presence of
witnesses, never to take advantage
of the word and Ci pid scored an

Scotland Yard Suppressing
Periodical Wave of Crime.
Scotland yard it engaged in (lie
suppression of one of London's per
iodical crime waves. There hat been
an unusual number of homicides re
cently and several of those in the
metropolitan district have been
marked by almost fiendish brutality.
In addition, evidence adduced at
the imjucst into the death of a young
dance hall instructress, who commit
ted suicide by taking poion. provid
ed the newspapers willi several col
umns of "dope traffic revelations"
which already have resulted in police
raids on places suspected of illicit
traffic in liquor and drugs.
The vigilance of the Scotland yard
operatives and customs officials has
resulted in prison terms for several
fcrous found in the possession of
lahit-forming drugs.
Clever hiding places used by drug
smugglers and discovered by the au
thorities include hollow heels in
women t shoes, specially constructcu
hollow crucifixes and other articles
of jewelry and even Diblcs with
pages cut away in the renter of the
hook. The custom officials frank
ly admit their inability to cope with
the traffic unless every article of
each traveler's wearing apparel and
bauease is minutely examined, so
the police are concentrating their
efforts on the districts and places
believed to provide markets for the
drug peddlers. 1
Britishers Want Parliament to

All public interest in the work oi
the session of parliament which be
gan Wednesday appears to be con
centrated on the budget, which Sir
Kobci t II. Home, the chancellor of
the exchequer, will present 3fouday.
There is a great demand from busi
ness organizations and taxpayers
generally for a reduction of the in
come tax, based on the argument
that the present tax places a crush
ing burden on business. An agita
tion has been conducted by the news-
papers for some time tor a general
reduction of 'the income tax and a
number of the papers are printing
forms of petitions for subscribers to
fill in and forward to members of
parliament. - ,
lhe movement tor lowered taxes

but extends to three commodities,
tea, sugar and beer, which are con
sumed by virtually the whole popu

Woman Executive
of Railway Line
Tells How to Win
Assistant Secretary of Burling
tun Admits It's No Secret
Use Your Head,
She Suys.
(.imago, .April M. i his is to in
troduce the only woman executive of
any tirst-class railroad m America.
She is Mrs. Edith Jarvis Alden,
who has been installed, alter a unan
imous election, as assistant secre
tary of the Chicago, Burlington &
yuuicy.
And with her attainment comes
the realization of childhood dreams
visions of the impossible.
"When I was young I regretted
not being a boy," Airs. Alden de
clared when interviewed in the suite
assigned to officers. "I wanted to
be a railroader, to swing a lamp in
the dark and signal fast trains."
Mrs. Alden. who is only 30 years
old, began her career with the rail
road four years ago. Her father,
II. E. Jarvis. was secretary to the
president of the road at that time.
With his p&oniolion to assistant
secretary and with constantly in
creasing duties he found it neces
sary to seek an assistant for him
self. His choice was his daughter.
Mr. Jarvis retired from the serv
ice recently on account of failing
health and the vacancy consequent
ly arose.
And while congratulations contin
ue to pour into- the office of the new
woman executive she, official-like and
in the manner of a dyed-in-the-wool
leader, continues in her routine.
"I don see that there is any se
cret to.it at all, Mrs. Alden re
torted to a query. "All one has to
do is to use his head and the way
to success is paved." .

(Continued from Saturday.)
" She slipped out of the room as
soon as madame returned and posted
the-check to Enid Samrcr.
"You look very happy tonight,
cherie." madame said to her after
dinner when they were sitting in
madamc's own little room. It was
a warm evening and the window was
onpn to let in the mtld. soring air.
Farmer was sittinsr on the wide
window seat smoking, his eyes upon
Elizabeth, and madame lay full
length on a couch, wrapped in a
bizarre sort of tea gown, a long
ciiraret holder held daintily between
licr white teeth.
She had tried to teach Elizabeth to
smtrke. but the eirl always refused.
Madame's aueer eves rested on her

She was fond ot fclizabetn m ner

You look " she said airam. blow

watching it fade away, "you look as
if someone has put a golden spoon
in vour mouth."
Elizabeth laughed. I don t think
that would make me very happy," she
said; she smiled at tanner. : As a
matter of fact, I was thinking about
the 11th of Tune."
That was the day of the duchess
charity entertainment, and the day
which Elizabeth had been told was to
be the greatest of her life.
she had been thinking 01 it with a
vague apprehension which was yet
more than half-delight; she longed
for it to come, and vet dreaded it
unspeakably.
Would she wake-up, when it was

What would Fat Royston think if
such were the case?
She wished he could be there to
see her dance, aitnough tne knowl
edge that he was somewhere in the
crowded room would, she was sure,
drive everything out of her head.
Ah! said madame slowly, that
will be a gr-reat day, Mistairc Far
mer, (is it not so?"
"The day when the queen comes
into her own, he answered lightly,
and when we all of us must botv
the knee." ,
There was a little silence.
"And then after it's all over.'

still; she has told me of all manner

"What sort of things, madame?"
Elizabeth asked easterly. She felt
like a child who listens to a fairy
tale, and tries to persuade itself that
it is all true.
Madame waved a hand airily,
"There are oh,' so many things!"
she said dreamily. "I send you to
Paris, perhaps, or to Italy. I get

and you dance as many other famous

"You count your chickens before

to which madame drew her attention
with a malicious smile. "Read! See"

The return to simple organdie

that shoes must now be worn to

N. Y. Couple Killed by
Poisoned Plums, Theory
N'ew York. April , ..Possibility
that Mr. and Mrs. Freeniont M. Jack
son, whose bodies were found in the
bathroom of tlu-ir apartment in a
Brooklyn hotel Wednesday morning,
were killed by potsoncri plums has
been advanced by Dr. E. M.
Vatighau, medical examiner of the
district attorney of Kings comity.
The police have abandoned their
first conclusion that the Jacksons
died natural deaths or, at any rate,
by poison taken accidentally. They
now say that Mr. and Mrs. Jackson
cither died in a suicide pact or were
poisoned by some bne who sent them
fruit loaded with a drug or chemi
cal -tliat would cause quick paralysis
and ensuing death.
The most important support of the
murder theory is the finding in Mr.
Jackson's stomach of a large piece
of fresh plum. That it was fresh
plum and not a preserved plum is
certain, according to Dr. Vaughan,
who made certain of this fact before
making his statement. ,

Illinois Central System Clears Up Point
About Railway Net Income
, The net railway operating income of the Class I railroads of the United
States for 1921? was at the rate of 3.31 per cent upon their tentative valuation as
established by the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate-making purposes.
Many have construed this to mean that the railroads realized a net income of
3.3 1 per cent available for dividends, enlargements and improvements. This is
far from being true. There is a great difference between "net railway operat
ing income" and "net income." .
Accounting methods are prescribed for the railroads by thi Interstate
Commerce Commission, and they are uniform for all railroads. After all oper
; ating'expenses and taxes have been provided for, and uncollectible accounts
have been deducted, and after funds have been set aside for the payment of
rentals on equipment and joint facilities, the balance left over from revenues is
called "net railway operating income," which was for 1921 the 3.31 per cent
referred to. Most railroads have some income from sources other than railway
operations, such as interest and dividends on securities owned, which, added to'
the "net railway operating income," constitutes what is known as "gross income."
There are certain fixed charges, however, which must be paid before the.
"net income" is established, chief among these being interest on the bonds and
the rental of leased lines. After making deductions for these, it is estimated
that there was practically nothing left of either the "net railway income" of 3.31

In other words, the railroads had no "net
Some railroads ared better than others during 1921, just as some business
, men and farmers fared better than others. Preferable location, foresighted
management, superior machinery with which to work these are elements which
have their influence in the showing made by a railroad, as they have in every
other business enterprise. - y
The railroads cannot serve the public adequately unless they are able to en
large and improve their properties as the requirements of the country for trans
portation service develop. In order . for the railroads to grow, their securities
must be attractive to investors, for the funds they receive from the issuance of
securities are used in improving their properties. : y
The Illinois Central System, in common wjth other railroads, is -striving to
render a service of satisfaction. It is eager to continue to improve and enlarge
its facilities, so that its plant may always be a little in advance of the needs of
its patrons. An overloaded machine is never efficient, and if the overloading
continues for any length of time fhe machine must necessarily deteriorate.
This statement is made in the interest'of a better understanding of rail
way problems. We ask that our patrons view the railway problem in its true
light ; that they realize that every obstacle placed in the path of railway progress
rebounds against them, as much as against the railroads themselves, and that
the interests of the railroads and the interests of the public are inseparable.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

, President, Illinois Central System.
