It is apparent from daily develop ments in Washington that govei nnient operation of railroadti is to cease and that the railroads of the country will he returned to private control within the period of twenty-one montlm. after! the declaration of peace, as provided' bv existing law. Such a return within' a very few months is probable. It is agreed on all sides that before the railroads are returned to the con trol of their owners there must be fur ther legislation hv congress in order that the railroads may be permitted1 ue " ""l'e OI securing new consuue tn ,..i.o e,.h inri,cc i fioioht n,i I tioii such as we need if those reasoii- jiassenger rates as will enable them to meet the increased cost of labot and material which has been brought .'.bout by the action of the director general. Notwithstanding the increase which was ordered by the director general last year, there is an admitted deficit of not less than two hundred and fifty million dollars growing out of the operation by the government up to December 31. An I so far as figures are available they indicule that a deficit even greater in amount will result this year. TIhtc Propositions Sulmi'lt'-d. There have heen submitted to the senate committee on interstate com merce, which is investigating the whole question in order to determine what legislation is necessary, three concrete propositions: one ly the di , rector general for a five-years' contin uation of toe existing government con-l Irol; one by the Inlerstale Commerce1 commission for an enlargement of the rate-making powers of that body and an extension of its powers over rail roads generally, and one by the rail way executives' committee, which asks that the owners of the railroads may be permitted to do, all of the things which have been done by the director general under the supervision of a new cabinet minister to be created and known as the secretary of lieas poltation. In the background is the diminish ing specter of government ownership and operation. Without attempting to analyze these various propositions, it seems pretty safe to say that the only one ot them .which lias even a fair chance of adop tion by congress is that submitted by the railway executives' committee. The fact of orerwheluftng signifi cance to the future of New Mexico is that the director general of railroads, (he Interstate Commerce commission and the railway executives are in ac cord upon the three following prop ositions: 1. That no railroad hereafter con- strut ted shall be permitted to partici pate In transportation of properly in interstate commerce without a certifi- at-ate from sumo' federal officer or body that such road was constructed to meet a public necessity. 2. That competition in freight rates shall hereafter be forbidden by law. 3. That the right of the shipper to route his freight must be denied by law. Would Handicap Xew JIcvco. ''The incorporation into the pro . posed legislation of uny one of these three propositions would seriously em-' . ban ass tha securing of capital for new railroad construction In New Mexico. The adoption of all three would ren der it certain that there would be no substantial increase of railroad mile age in New Mexico for a. generation, and that existing railroad facilities would be very materially curtailed as soon as the law went Inleffect. The great concern of the people of New Mexico is with the' preservation) of the rights and opportunities of plo-i wr railroad building, without which.' w cannot hope to develop our re- sources and make available the vast mineral wiallh of the state. New Mexico has one hundred and twenty-two thousand square miles of territory, and in round figures about one rnilo of operating railroad to every one hundred square miles of territory. .V very small portion of the people of the state have railroad fa cilities adequate to their needs and would in the natural course of events under any of the plans suggested have no reason to doubt that their future requirements would be ine.l. A further small portion have at the present lime inadequate railroad fa cilities which would probably be ex tended to meet their present and fu ture needs. A further portion have very inadequate railroad facilities and a further very law portion have no railroad facilities at all and will never have any unless the opportunities Tor profit afforded to pioneer railroad builders arc preserved. I'ioncci ins Xt cKsai'.v. There is no incompatibility between the public interest and the preserva tion of the legitimate profits of pio neer railroad builders. The possibility of these profits can only he preserved by carefully preserving the right of the state of New Mexico to deter mine for itself when and under what circumstances it will encourage the construction of railroads which arc necessary to the tleveiopmeul or its wealth, which can only be made avail able through increased railroad facili ties. The federalization of railroads can only be accomplished by the de struction of an important element of the power of the statis to regulate their internal affairs. While in the older and more thickly populated sections of the country re strictions upon further railroad i ou st ruction there might work no spe cial hardship, such restrictions in New Mexico and other parts of the I country in like situation would arti-J ficially obstruct the natural devel-j opment of the country to an appull- ins extent and no future advantage,! however great, would adequately coin-! pensate those communities for the! immediate loss of opportunities for du- velopmont. j sexploitation Should lie l,rcciitcd. j There can be no objection to such! reasonable restrictions as may be nee-1 ess!lI-y to prevent new lines, when con- Htructed, from oemg used tor the purpose of exploiting the public or to prevent discrimination in rates or services or even the regulation ot the issuance of securities, hut there can able opportunities for profit upon the capita! required commensurate to the risk involved are made unlawful ori are obstructed by congressional legls- 1. ! Men of vision, initiative and courage with the necessary capital to create the required facilities are beginning:! to realize that the country needs an-i other greut transcontinental railroad I system, one which by the shortest amlj most feasible route shall connect tlte j v.ai''is OL me iiutl oi Jltixnu voui those of i'uget sound. Thiil such a system cannot be built as a unit at this time without great economic waste will be apparent to anyone who makes careful study of the map of that part of the countiy through which it would run. Any onel of several roads existing leaching the ports of the Gulf of Mexico might be-j come a part ot Uiih system and serve every purpose equally with any new line which could now be constructed, and the same thing is true in a more limited way as to the great ports of I'uget sound. I'ut in the vast terri tory Intervening a great mileage of new' construction is necessary in order to connect up existing lines into such a compact system, und if all artificial burrleis were removed there Is little!' doubt that there would )a; great eoni-7 i petition for the opportunity to create such a system, especially at this time when a. large volume of capital will greedily embrace every opportunity for great speculative profit even though the chance of loss may be great. Nlmft Lines Would Pay. There are sections of this interven ing country where short linos from fifty to two hundred miles in length I would from the beginning not only In sure adequate return on the cost of construction, but would give reasona ble promise of providing from the profits of their operation the funds necessary to the construction and maintenance of lines in the "lean streaks" of the territory; such a system when completed would be Invaluable to the country not only locally, but nationally, and would serve as an ar tery for the transmission of local products to tidewater and of the prod ucts of the world from tidewater to the intervening communities. Should congress erect artificial barriers to the consummation of this plendld scheme of development? It would be a perversion of the powers of the government to use pub-j lie monies for the creation of such a system or to ccjmpel any existing rail road to embark the money of its owners in a scheme which, however Inviting to men of speculative ten-i dencies, is too uncertain of success to' commend itself as an avenue of con servative inves'ment. Sm. h a system cannot lie built upon the basis of a four, or five or even six or clht per cent return upon the capital invested, but there is reason to believe that, thp nocesnry capital can bo made availale wilhout the as sistance of the government and under any rensonal le regulations for Hie pro- tcctlcn of the public which the wls- rlom. of congress may dictate. Cupftiil .Must. lie Km-auragsXl. it is obvious that the capital can- i Why the High tin I - - not be made available if, in the first I instance, the entire burden of the j scheme must be assumed without ail j opportunity to build the experimental short lines to which reference is made. Logically such a system would trav ( rso New Mexico from its eastern j boundary to Albuquerque, by way of j the existing New Mexico Central and j the partially finished Albuquerque j Eastern. From Albuquerque it. should I go to Fui'iniugton and thence west I along the San Juan river to the most available opening in the direction of ."alt Lane ( ity and should there con nect with such a line as the Oregon Short Line, for instance, eventually becoming one of the moat profitable and serviceable of the great railroad ! systems of the United States. The legislature of New Mexico should see to It that the possibilities of obstructing this development through the pending propositions in cor.;;iess is vividly kept before the minds of the leaders of that body.

Take six to ten onions, according to size, chop fine, and put in a 'large! spi derover a list fire; then udd about the same quantity of rye meal, and vinegar enough to make a thick paste. In the meantime, stir it thoroughly letting it simmer five or ten miitfltrs. Then put it in a cotton bag large enough to covers the lungs and apply it to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When this gets cool apply another, and thus continue by reheat ing the poultirecs and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed in this too often fatal malady. Usually three er four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until perspiration starts freely from Ihe chest. This simple remedy, says the "New Kng land Grocer," was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New Kngland has ever known, who never lost a patient by this disease, and won his renown by saving persons by simple remedies after the best medical talent had pronounced their cases hopeless. Personally we know of . three persons who were saved by the remedy last winter in Boston after their physiciuns hud given them up to die; and If a record was titade of all Miuilar cases during: the last six years, it would fill a good-sized volume. , ' S.v...'-. . . ... fn. flour i; m ' it KIRl W .

Married Couples Sfcui to (ii't Out of Tunc. Many times wo hiar people speak optimistically of a prospective mar riage, saying: "Of course, theirs will be u very happy marriage because they know each oilier so well." Put the "know" must never change to KNKWI The present tense must keep on moving! Physiologists tell us that every par ticle of ..our bodies changes once in seven years. If this is true of mutter, then think of the change of mind! A great' many newlyweds start out left foot to left, right foot to right. They are in perfect step. Their lives are tuned to the same pitch. Thoy speak not only with their tongues. but with their eyes, their hearts, their I souls. And then like a flash ofjon with his hooks and business while thunder from henvon they shake us; his wife cures nothing for Iho things! by a separation, a divorce, an an- nouncemenl that their marriage is a; complete failure. j What'.' Can a couple who havel walked together in such perfect step! "fall out'.'" Can a couple who Ariel in such perfect hunnony be "out of! tune . ' Of course they can if they allow that "KNOW eaeh other" to change to "KXKW each other!" Tt has been said "The only thing we know about human nature is that it changes." And the whole secret of living hap pily together year after year is for couples to change together. Sometimes the mere fact that couplets dance well together, that they play a clever game of tennis together, or enjoy the same style of literature, is enough to take them to the nsar riage altar. Put In the Ions run of the next seven years of married life their tastes will most likely change. The man becomes interested in the heavier subjects of life, his business, ancient history, collecting antique furniture oh, you never can tell what his bent will lie but you can venture it will be something entirely different from what it was seven years ago. And unless his wife is interested in his new tastes there is bound to sluing up a big gulf between them. , Put man is not only one who changes!

Territorial Problems Aguiii, The questions as to the disposition of conquered territory are rendered more complicated by the secret trea ties which were made before the Unit ed States came into the war. In 1.915 and 1910 there was not much talk ot the self el. termination of peoples, or a league of nations, or justice to every body, or anything of the sort. The al lies were quite frankly planing to divide up everything they .could get their hands on. Italy, for example, was to get the Dalmatian coast which was hel.l by Austria, and it apparent ly diel not occur to them thut the logi cal way was to let the Jugo-Siavs have It themselves. At any rate, Italy came j into the war on ' the understanding! that she was to have it, and enn Fug-1 land and Fiance go bark on that ur-l rangemeiu now ?

And here again we find that husband and wife are not in step hut growing further and fur ther apart every day of their lives. Starting out in step, both interested in the same things, is not half as Important as keeping up with each other all along the way of married life. Frequently tho cftllcge girl becomes so domesticated that within seven years her husband has absolutely nothing in common with her. He does not care to lalk about the new cook or the butcher's boy morning, noon and night. He cannot believe that his wife is tho same girl who; quoted poetry and played Chopin's! waltzes before marriage. Nor is shell The trouble Is lhat he has kept light i of the oast and is surrounded bv this new business ef "keeping house." After marriage so many "conditions change anil circumstance's arise, that it takes the greatest skill and tact toj keep right along at the same gait life started. And the only way to keep things going is to "watch your step" and keep up with each change that takes place. The husbanil of thirty five is as different from, the husband of twenty-eight as he was from his twenty-first birthday. He muy retain much of the spirit of twenty-eight or of Iwe iity-one, but die is not the same man any more than the girl of sixteen is the same as the woman of twenty three. All thoso seven years, have worked miracles. The couples who have been married twenty-one years have passed through three decided changes. Now the ques tion is have they kept up with each other in .those changes? If they have we say they are a happily married couple; !f they haven't we say they have grown tireel of each other. Noti so tired perhaps, but the fact of it isi they have really outgrown each other ! One has changed, his tastes entirely during the hist seven years. Is it any 1 wonder such husbands and wives cry! they are "out of tune?" Keeping up with each ether is as' important as' keeping up with current events! menace to Jugo-Slavia than Jugo-Sla-via would ever be td her? Y'et there is that oh! treaty, and Italy would like to insist on it. Here! is the story: j There were two gangs of hoys, fighting. Gang A and Gang H. Gang1 H says to Little Tony: "Cqine on lni and help us. We thought you were a I friend of ours." Tony says: "What isj there in it for me?" Gang If says, "Oh, we'll give you thus and so." But i Tony secretly likes the other ganjc better. Ha approaches Gang A and says: "Some scrap you're having? here. Need any help?" Gang A says, We sure do. Come on In.'Tony says: "Wlint is there In it for me?" Gang A whispers itj his ear, and Tony takes off his coat. .Put in spite of Tony's assistance ih? fight Is pretty even.: Both sides are in a bad way and prel-1 tv desperate.

And Gang A, who are, utieue. claims in China! Tills puts the worrying a good deal more about get ting assistance right awav tliun about anything else, agree to it. It appeals to the best elements in them, .anyhow. So Uncle Sam takes off his etiat, and batches of human fur are presently seen here and there about the alley. Then comes the peace conference. And Tony, looking at the original members of Gang A, says: Well, now, you know what you said." Then Sain says: "Tony, my dear fellow, when I was getting started in this fight and talking about how we were all going to he .fair and just after it was over, you didn't say a word about any se cret agreement. Y'ou knew very well that 1 wouldn't fight for anything of that sort. And now it's too late. You've got to limit your claims to what is fair and reasonable, the same as the rest of us." And how is it all coming out . that's the question. Well, in the first place the secret treaties were discredited. That's a victory for us. 1 believe that the self-deterpiination principle will bo strictly applied in Fiuope; which means that France will not get the' left bank of the Rhine, and that Italy" will get nothing in Dalmatia except the seaport towns that are preelomi nantly Italian. Kngland will back our views of the Kuropenn problems,! not having any claims of her own to put forward there. If this settlement is agreed to, itj will leave France and Italy a li.tt.le j disappointed and more keen than ever for compensations in Asia Minor.
