Here's a Real Man Cleveland, O., Feb. 8. (Special.) Jtfiss Mildred F. Blake, 18, left a belated Christmas present on the doorstep of the home of Robert Nye, 22, with whom she has been keeping company for six months. It was a new-born baby boy. The present was not a surprise to Nye. In fact, he had told Miss Blake to leave the baby at his home. But the plans of the couple to get mar ried and then adopt the girl's baby were knocked in the head by the police. Miss Blake was arrested on a char ge of abandoning a minor child. Nye was charged with falsely reporting to the police that "a child of unknown origin" was found on his porch. The father of the baby was arrest er several months ago and his case is pending. The girl said she didn't want anything to do with him but wanted to marry Nye. 1 the law will allow the wedding will take place.

And in with our industrial plant growing like Jonah's gourd, the railroads have built hardly any new mileage. The i transportation plant, so vital to every 1 form of business, has been pretty nearly at a standstill. j Every day brings forth fresh evl-, dence that the transportation plant is . decidedly inadequate. "Worst car j shortage in recent history!" reads a headline of yesterday. Terminals are some years behind the demands made upon them almost the whole country over. Inadequacy of the transportation plant and Capital's reluctance to in vest itself in railroad stock raise some serious questions in which is involved the subject of Stato and Federal re gulation. State railroad commissioners are pretty generally embattled to retain the present Bystem of dual regulation of railroads, and even to extend the present authority of the state over national carriers. They want the de cisions of the Supreme Court in the Shreveport case which virtually af firmed the power of Congress to regu late interestate business amended by legislation that would give the state complete control of railroad business within its borders, irrespective of how that control might react upon inter state rairoad business. Instead of extending the authority of state over railroad business, Con gress should exercise its admitted nower to limit state control within narrow bounds. The railroads are a national interest and should be regulated nationally. Saturday Evening Post. thB i-urn vnHr I " VBI ' many oou-weevu of oil seed for the oil mills.

DIAMOND BRIQUET Diamond Briquets are made from the purest, richest portions of oal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous. Tie coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off. This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give H the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch. It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond. Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now Qn the mar ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash. What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets 1. The even size of Briquets permits a more regular and thor ough combustion in the firebox or furnace. 2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in manp cases prac tically no smoke. 3. They retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici ently to cut off the needed supply of air. 4. They burn to e fine ash without clinkering. Clinkers can be formed if all the absolute ash is not removed from the grates regu larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel. Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briquets. Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in keeping chimney clean. Give the fire full draft until well started. This burns the smoke and while making more heat also prevents soot. Check the draft after fire is well started; very little draft is needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced. When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smoke from escaping into the room. A gentle shaking will clean the grates. If you have a strong draft carry some Briqueti ashes on the grates to help regulate the fire. Briquet ashes are light and poms and the draft can work through. For banking cr to hold over night, cut off all draftJ completely after applying the Briquets. If you wish to bank fires every night, you will get the oest results by carrying a deep fire, leaving ashes on the grate. THE J. D.

Youth and Matrimony "Since 1832, when the first mile of railroad track was laid in the United States, to the present day this country hns boundede forcward in population production and political power until it now holds the most commanding position in the world. Every dollar that has been spent in railroad dc velopment represents the voluntary in vestment of private capital by citizens of this country or foreign lands who were led to put their money in this speculative class of investment on their faith in the destiny of this re public and because of their absolute confidence in the integrity of our courts to protect them in the unim paired possession of their rights as stockholders and bondholders against any form of spoliation or confiscation.

Sineulary, also, the boys put em nh.-mis on social graces, while not girl mentioned the subject, although this may have been because inai was taken for granted. It is also encour aging, from the point of view of the man "over 45," about whom we are hpurinir a irood deal nowadays, to note that the girls did not insist that their husband should be young. The boys in their demands curiously overlooked the attribute of "intellect" and "com mon sense." But. after all, boyhood and girl hood matrimonial ideas are not stead fast.
