~¢ed Rag to a Bull.”
¥t 1s probable that the expression ‘&
red rag to a bull,” signifying some.
thing which arouses wrath, has been
imported from Spain, where red cloths
are used in the bull rings, in order to
fnfuriate the animals before the mata
dor makes his appearance. But bulls
are not the only animals affected by
red. Many horses, especially stallions,
are irritated by red; and turkey-cocks
attack wearers of red most ferocious
ly, as do ganders. Physiologically,
red is a color which flrritates and
fatigues the optic nerves; and so it
arouses temper and produces a quaw
telsome frame of mind.
Proper Ambition,
It §s very sad for a man to make
himself servant to a thing, his man
hood all taken out of him by the hy
draulic pressure of excessive business.
I should not like to be merely a great
doctor, a great lawyer, a great minis
ter, a great politician—l should like to
be also something of a man.—Theodore
Parker,
“Cloth” From Bark.
In the tropical islands of the Pa
eific there are several tribes which
make use of the bark of a tree as &
substitute for fabrics. It is called
“tapa” and is obtained by heating the
bark and then treating it to a pasty
greparation. After the bolling proe
ess, the fiber shows a regular over
lapping arrangement of the strands

On Freight Rates
Interstate Commerce C.immissionl
Offers Little Encouragement l
Leader News Bureau, .
4th National Bank Blig.,
ATLANTA, March 12. (Special)
U. S. Senator Wm. j. Harris of Geor
gia, according to news received 'in
Atlanta today, has asked again the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
consideration of the matter of a reduc
tion in freight and passenger rates.
In the letter which Senator Harris
wrote the Commission he discussed
primarily the very high rates on fruits
and vegetables from Georgia to eas
tern markets, particularly peaches,
watermelons and vegetables.
Senator Harris told the L'ommissionl
that the present prohibitive rates
would mean ruin to Georgia’s “indus
tries which have already suffered be
cause of the depression in prices on
agricultural products. In December
Senator Harris and the Commission
exchanged letters concerning the high
freight and passenger rates, and refer
ence is made to that discussion in thel
letter received today by the Georgia
Senator; from Chairman Edgar E.
Clark, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr. Clark says: |
“I wish it were possible for me to
write encouragingly in reponse to your
letter of the 3rd instant, but I cannot
see what I can add to what I said in
my letter to you of December 22 on
the same subject, to wit, the probabil
ity of a reduction in freight rates.
“The situation is not so good now
as it was in December. There has
been quite a substantial falling off in
general traffic. The average opera
ting ratio of the railroads of the
United States is something over 90.
That means that for every dollar that
the railroad earn they pay out in op
erating expenses more than 90 cents.
Due to the narrow margin between
revenue and operating expenses and’
fixed charges and a good many are not
earning their operating expenses. Un
der these circumstances it is difficult
lto find an argument in favor of reduc
‘tion of rates unless in instances in
which it can be shown that the rates
are stifling the traffic and that lower
rates which would still be compen
satory would effect a movement from
which there would be some return.
“I have just been going over some
‘figures on the shipments of fruits and
vegetables from Florida for the season
of 1920-21 as compared with the sea
son of 1919-20. These figures show

that from November Ist, 1919, to Feb
rutry 28, 1920, both dates inclusive,l
the number of carloads of fruits and |
vegetables shipped from Florida by |
rail was 26,886 a® compared with 28-|
420 carloads during the same period in
the season ‘of 1920-21.”
It is contended by Senator Harris
that the railroads and the public are
both suffering from the very high
rates, which would be partially reliev
ed if rates were reduced and traffic
would naturally increase, {providing |
more revenue-for the roads in the ag
gregate than now afforded. -

their arms beautifully engraved on the

We wish to thus publicly express

to minister unto them.
