Despite the tact that the interstate commerce commis sion has not announced its plans for consolidation of the railroads into a limited number of systems and con solidations are forbidden until that plan has been announced, substantial progress has been made in consolidat ing the railroads since the transporta tion act was passed in 1920. These consolidations have been and ire being effected under a provision of the transportation act authorizing the commission to permit one railroad to acquire control of another either under a lease or by the purchase of stock or in any other manner not In volving the consolidation of such car riers into a single system for owner ship and operation.

O QheWhy I of I J Superstitions By H. IRUINQ KING. REVENGE ON BACKBITERS Farm Income Too Low. Washington, I). C. American agri culture, since the slump ot li)20, UUi slanderer, hy reason of the magic sy not yielded a commercial interest re turn on its Invested capital or a fair wage for the averuge farm operator and his family. This conclusion reached hy agricultural department experts, probably Will bo one ot the first to be placed before President Coolidge's proposed agricultural re lief commission here. Other conclusions arrived at by the departmental experts, who recently completed a series of studies of farm income, also are expected to serve us a basis of data for the committee which the president, in his acceptance speech, said would be appointed for the purpose of helping agriculture to a basis of economic equality. This information gathered hy the experts shows thut the low point of the agricultural depression was touch ed in lSlO-ll, with some Improvement the following year. In the last two yeurs the Improvement haa been quite noticeable, and the department asserts) indications ure that it will continue. As u means of gauging how the agri cultural depression has uffected furm standards of living in the four years since 1919-20, the department points out that in tins period wholesale prices of all commodities declined 25 to 30 per cent, retail prices of 22 food articles 20 to 25 per cent, while the farmer's Income declined as much as till to 72 per cent.

The trouble started over an argument between children. TP YOU have reason to believe that people are slandering you bite the corner of your upron and the back biters will bite their tongues. This Is for women. Another way, applicable to both sexes, Is to pinch your ear and the person who is "talking about you" will bite his tongue. These charms work, of course, by sympathetic magic like causes like. Your apron Is a substitute of the slanderous tongue of your traducer: you bite It and the IN THE hearts of the humble, the sun Is always shining. If you will pause a moment to look into the faces of such mortals, you will catch a glimpse of celestial fire whose Intensity cunnot be measured. With humility, these souls have pa tience and faith. They often puss us by unheeded, for they are not given to show or vaunting. Their eyes are mild, their lips ars set In u smile. They go upon their way as softly as do the stars of night, mindful of their course and keeping steadfastly upon it, in all sorts of weather. Only rarely do we worldlings know such souls when we meet them, yet we are conscious of their magnetic Influence. The light that shines from their faces soothes and encourages us. It may be the face of a child, but we catch' the thrill of a new emotion and go soaring off into another realm, wondering what subtle spirit has touched us and left us so sublimely thrilled. This feeling of exaltation, when once experienced, is never forgotten. It clings to us through all the seasons and years of our life, cheering us In sorrow, strengthening us when we are weak, and easing our burdens when we feel that we cannot bear them a day longer. It forms a pleasing background to our existence, a sort of refuge where we may go and find rest when we are unnerved, exhausted and discour aged. Illches, honor and fame lose their luster when In the presence of the soul that is humble, patient and faith ful. Earthly prizes such as these are but the dress of a precious substance from which such a soul Is made made to endure forever, where the light Is always shining and life dis covers Itself in its true sphere. And certainly, whatever It may he with regard to the persons who are now skeptical about such matters, the day will come when they, too, shall see the light, and as likely as not find It shining within their own breasts, In a moment when they least suspecf Its divine prseence. Hidden somewhere within us such a light Is always burning, ready at the touch of the right word to flare up Into a beneficent blaze I ((), McClure Newipaper Syndicate.) o pathy set up, responds by doing actual ly what you have done immitatlvely. Pinching the ear Is a good simulation of biting the tongue und reacts upon the backbiter in the desired manner. It is, moreover an especially appropri ate act of simulation In such cases because of the connection between tingling ears and "people talking about you" a superstition which has already been dealt with in this series. These superstitions are widespread as are all the superstitions connected with sympathetic magic. It is worthy of note that while the doctrine of sym pathetic magic was one of the earliest results of the efforts of prim itive man to establish a relation be tween cause and effect so a belief In that same magic Is the most universal of superstitions today.

McClure Newspaper Syndicate ) ?$ o McClure Ktwl?aar SyaSteate, ) fF COURSE, every married man knows that there are no infallible rules for ruling a woman. But every bachelor thinks he knows a few, and never hesitates to whisper them confidently Into the poor Inno cent bridegroom's ear. Here they are as far as I have been able to guther them : 1. Start right. Guard your Inde pendence with your life! Never humor a wife by explaining why you are go ing out or when you are coming back. After she has speut a few hours try ing to keep the dinner hot. and Dlctur- lng you mangled by a taxlcab, think what a thrill It will give her to see you come in well and cheerful, Instead of on a stretcher. t 2. Don't flatter her. When you are tempted to compliment her on her looks or her cooking, control yourself. Be strong. A little flattery may go to her head, and make her so dizzy that she'll wonder why she wasted herself on you. 3. Assert yourselff from the start. Now, is your appointed hour. Every woman loves a "master." Show her that she Is, after all, only your Rib and that you are IT. 4. When your wife talks, never lis ten. She will probably not say any thing worth hearing. And besides, it is much more Important that you should finish reading the sporting sheet, than that you should try to be companionable with one so mentally inferior. 5. Remember thst she is an Ignorant, unsophisticated little thing, and that jm must keep tabs on her and re model her. Never hesitate to criticize her clothes, to laugh at her ideas, and to disapprove of her friends. Thl will make her love you like an "uplifter." 6. Don't be too devoted to her in public. Let her catch you looking ad miringly at OTHER women, now and then. She will soon learn to appreci ate your good taste and broad-mindedness 7. Always keep an eye on the week ly bills, and make her account to you for the money you dole out to her. Every woman needs a guardian and loves to f.fcl like an object of charity, und no woman knows the real value of money, even when she has had to earn It. 8. Never forget that marriage is s monarchy- not a democracy and that there can be only one throne, one seeptsr. and one set of opinions in the house. Grab tn. first I Thess are a bschslor's rules for rul ing s wonisn. Any bridegroom whs will follow them, can make a com plets wreck of marriage, without coin mltUng a slngJe solltsry tin.
