T, Crump, fndiiKtrlul general secretary of the Nntiunitl Union of Ituilwuymcn of Greut Ilrltulu, has cxpix'HHud himself as follow):' "We are so accustomed lo regurd America an being tho lust word from tht! point of view" of comfort and convenience In everything ap pertaining to travel that it must cuinu as a shock to ninny to learn how much more expeditious and comfortable Is the average Jiritlah train compared with its American counterpart. "In the first pluce, tho American track ,is so very much inferior to our own. 11 is much less costly to build and maintain, but the price has to be paid by the passenger In ilia crushing and jerking to which he is subjected. "Tho averago sleeping car Is an xitrocity. It is true that by tho pay bient of a very high price one may obtain what is called a drawing room suite, which is something liko our own up-to-date sleeping cars, but the majority of travelers on tho long distance trains sleep in the two tiers of bunks on cither side nf a ct ntral corridor. "Those fortunate enough to' ob tain the lower berths may com plete their disrobing sitting on the berth partly screened by curtains, but they frequently find their un protected feet trodden on by pas- isengers milking along the corri dor. "Hut those unforlunato enough to be allocated a top berth are in for a bud time. They must climb up by means of a short ladder und then endeavor lo divest themselves of their clothing In the manner of a snako trying to wrlgglo out of its skin. "One must make-one's toilet In th' dres.V.mr room ni-nvlrii-ri nL tlx !nr nf ttm fnmi uli..ull n number of men rise at the same hour in the morning It means that tho dressing room, which inciden tally is the only smoking compart ment on the train, is congested by men waiting their turn for a wash and shave. "On the other hand, tho catering arrangements are good. The res taurant cars are bigger than ours, and the menus moru varied." yjjSjrv i m : T-r- 'iu 1 1 Instructors To Hold Conference DecJffi, 27, 28 I'OinXAND, Ore.

BRITISH SEE BENEFITS IN STOCK SLUMP lly Wiulo Werner . (AP Feature Service Writer) LONDON ( AP) Old Dr. Wall Street, who has been curing many Americans of tho speculative fever, over huro is looked upon us a great surgeon. Some financial and political ob servers, in fact, seem to think that tho amputations in America will help indirectly to cure Great Urit ain of her chronic and most griev ous illness unemployment. For unemployment in England, they rightly or wrongly believe, is to some extent the fault of Amor- icun speculators. Unquestionably ; the margin speculator in Wall j street, by his willingness to pay ! high rates for call money, attracted I much gold from England wham . other wlso might have remained : here to finance a revival of British industry. INow that ho hits lost, his appe tite for high priced money, the gold has been coming back' this Jway. Theoretically that should I mean abundant capital for new xsruisn enterprises ana puuiic im provements likely to stimulate em ployment. , However, I here are a few nri- j alysts of tho situation who decline to be over-enthusiastic even though they admit the home-coming of gold from America Is a healthy symptom. i Money poured into Industry, they point out, bus to be skillfully poured into the right channels or it may have little effect on em- ; ployment. Into about 250 of these new en terprise: tho public put, during 1928, approximately $370,01)0,01)0 this being the cash value of the various stuck issues at their price of issue. Before the boom was over many were selling at four and five times their price of issue. Now, however, tho market value of these 250 issues aggregates less . than $24,000,000, an aggregate slump of 50 per cent from the high point of 1028. President Lowell of Harvard has become alarmed over the conduct of the o.lder generation. It's a job for some young reformer. Thei'o will be no more bald headed men In 50 years, says a ! hair expert. They also loll us I here ! won't -bp any flies by that time. I Announcing New Service : ' by .
