Prohibition and Legalized
Boxing Other Issues
in Elections.
' CHICAGO April 13.—OP)—The
World Court prohibition legalized
boxing publie improvements mid zoos
were ninong n multitude of issues
’involved in today’s statewide primary.
( While chief interest probaldy has
Jeen directed on the Republican sen-
'atorinl fight and some of the con-
gressional battles the Illinois boxing
odi hits come in for a fair share of
iyttention.
Chicagoans who for years bane
been traveling to East Chicago in
Indiana to witness the sport of fisti-
cuff were heartened by predictions
of backers of tin measure that it
would carry the city 3 to 1.
LOCAL. OPTION
It’s a local option affair with each
city deciding whether it will have
boxing under commission rule. Should
th; measure carry here it was an-
ticipated that Chicago would have its
first ring buttle about June 1.
Chicagoans also were handed bal-
lots calling for $19000000 worth of
bond issues for civic improvements.
They also are deciding whether they
want a zoological park.
In the Republican senatorial bat-
tle Illinois is choosing between Sen-
ator William B. McKinley mid Frank
Smith chairman of the Illinois Com-
merce commission the latter nn
enemy of the World Court. Senator
McKinley who planned to vote early
and then return Io Washington to
resume his senatorial tasks defended
his vote for adherence to the court
on the ground of party regularity.
BITTER FIGHT
la the Democratic senatorial
column appeared the names of George
E. Brennan veteran party leader and
foe of the Volstead act. former Con-
gressman James McDermott atid
James O. Monroe. None has made
an active campaign.
One of the most bitter of the Re-
publican congressional contests in-
volved Representative Fred A. Brit-
ten nnd Mrs. Bertha Baur wealthy
Chicago society woman each n pro-
|s>nent of prohibition modification.
Four thousand state and city of-
ficers have been mobilized in Cook
county to prevent fraud and disorder
at polls.
SENATE COMMITTEE
INDORSES FARM ACT
WASHINGTON April 13.—«»)—
The corn belt farm relief bill was ap-
proved today by the Senate agricul-
ture committee as a rider to the ad-
ministration’s co-operative marketing
bill.
The bill proposes to place a fee on
certain agricultural products to be
used in stabilizing the surplus prob-
lem. The committee amended it to
withhold the operation of the fee so
far as it relates to cotton until furih-
er authorization by Congress. As re- (
ported it would charge the fee against I
wheat cattle and hogs.
As it now stands the Senate will ;
vote first on the surplus bill and then ■
ou the co-operative bill which already j
has nassed the House.

TUESDAY—A
Cubist Hats
Captivate
English Maids
LONDON April 13.— UP)—
Cubist hats are the spring fash-
ion in London. Girls may be
seen in the east side west side
and all around the English me-
tropolis wearing hats that can
boast of no shape or color. They
are trimmed with zig-zag braid-
ings of silver and bright colors
which stray aimlessly about th.:
hat or hang down from the brim
in most unexpected places.
Crowns and brims are in every
conceivable shape. Hits are in
violent contrast with suit er
frock.
Though the spring frocks are
dignified and feminine in line
the trimmings and motifs are fol-
lowing the eccentric path of the
headwear. An otherwise simple
frock may be adorned with a
huge and bun-becoming silken
flower with a bright artificial
gem in the center. The hem of
the frocks often hear an unusual
design such as a procession of
little bears and lions or plants
or flowers.
WOMEN WILL ROLL
HOSE IN BRITAIN
LONDON April 13.—Rolled hose
and bare knees are to be the vogue if I
modes shown at the latest fashion ex-
position prevail although caricaturists'
have devoted attention for months to
the ugliness of English women’s knees.
The maximum weight of summer rai-
ment. complete will be 30 ounces.

The Contribution of the Rail-
roads to the Prosperity
of the Nation
PROSPERITY is intangible but every citizen knows when the nation enjoys it
and every individual is averted when there is a lack of it. The United States is
enjoying prosperity today despite the fact that some people from time to time
seem to think and publicly express opinions to the contrary.
There is an infallible method of measuring prosperity. That is the volume of
revenue traffic handled by the railroads. When traffic is moving in record breaking
volume it means that industry is busily engaged in production; the railroads are
busily engaged in the transportation of that production; and the so-called ultimate
consuming market is absorbing the production. It is interesting to note that for the
first 10 weeks of 1926 revenue car loadings totaled 9073140 as compared with 9012040
in 1925 and 8855470 in 1924.
Improved transportation in the last few years has enabled the nation to do busi-
ness with smaller stocks of commodities and merchandise on hand and in transit and
this has in turn made possible the purchasing of requirements in smaller quantities
and more frequently as needed. Dependable railroad service alone is responsible for
this. And this dependable railroad service has in this way released millions of dollars
for investment in productive channels by making possible reduced “stand-by stocks.’’
The increased railroad transportation efficiency lias been made possible partly by
the investment of $3117000000 of new capital in the last four years or an average of
$780000000 a year. This expenditure has also had a tendency to stabilize employment
on the railroads and in other industries.
Reasonably stabilized employment at present wage levels for the average of
1769099 railroad workers in the United States in 1925 has been one of the determin-
ing factors in a stabilized consuming market.
Conditions throughout the country as reflected in the foregoing figures are even
better in the territory served by the Missouri Pacific Lincs judged by the figures for
this section of the country.
The railroads of the middle west and southwest have not yet shared proportion-
ately in this prosperity. The rate of teturn figured on either property investment
or the tentative valuation used by the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate
making purposes has never since the passage of the Transportation Act of 1920
exceeded 4.83 per. cent. The Commission has said that 5.75 per cent would be fair.
They are continuing however to improve their operating efficiency and to effect
further economies in order that they may continue to provide an adequate dependable
and generally satisfactory service and otherwise make contributions to the prosperity
of the country.
WHEN THE RAILROADS PROSPER THE NATION PROSPERS.
I solicit your co-operation and suggestions.

Bean Day”
was a
social event
THE insistent invitation floating
from Uncle William’s kitchen car-
ried its message to expectant neighbors.
And when his famous “brown beau-
ties” appeared on the table they gath-
ered en masse to the feast. Notables
and plain folk sat side by side to do
them justice. Brown Beauty Beans pre-
pared by Uncle William to be served
in any of many ways—have a savory
flavor all their own. Alone or in salad
you’ll find them palatable and very
satisfying. Phone your grocer today;
he has a fresh supply. Ask him to send
you over a supply with free recipes.
