UNITED STATES 1 AILROAD ADMINIRTffATFON The Wall Street Journal says: 'Cigarette production in this coun try in September amounted to 4,283, 685,000 cigarettes, an increase of 877,000,000 cigarettes over the sr.me month in 1918. This was the largest increase in any single month in the history of the industry in this coun try, and also canstituted a record month's output. - Just how remarkable these figures are, is shown by the fact that in the first year after the formation of the tobacco trust, the total cigarette bus iness in the country was approximate ly 3,000,000,000 cigretes. In other words, a single month's production is now running at the rate of one and one-half times the yearly production at that time. NEW YORK, Dec. 19. Theft" of nine biirrels of sacramental wine was reported to the police recently by a wholesale liquor dealer here.

(United Pi5ss. This New Year's eve, despite its dryness, will be the liveliest in thg histary of New York, according to the belief expressed by restaurant and cabaret managers. One proprietor said there would be a bigger crowd eel ibrating than ever before because "everybody is cu rious as to what is going to happen. Next year, he opinioned celebration of the advent of the New Year will be truly dead. Practically all the popular' places along Broadway today reported ap plications for reservations for New Year's eve far in excess of another year. Technically it is all to-be a very dry New Year's eve. The "wine lists" will offer nothing more powerful than cider or ginger ale, but the concensus is there will be plenty of "hard stuff" in evidence, 'rawn from private stocks. In one famous cafe, it was announced that since the supreme court ruled against a wet Christmas and New Year's the aiters would not be permitted to "serve" even the "bring your own." Corkage charge for this service has been abolished, it was said, and it will bo either drink out of the bottle or drink "soft stuff." Rum hounds, without liquor to give them solace, should get seme sort of kick out of prices on the prohibition wine ' lists, however, Special Colder Husset cider tt $2 a quart, sparkling grape juice at $2.50 a pint, or malted milk costing 70 cents a glass, is guar anteed to make those accustomed to a "ball" at two bits, dizzy.

In view of the fact officials describe a; urgent need for passenger tonnage however, these vessels, aggregating about G5.000 dead-weight tons, woulc1 be a welcome addition to the Gov ernment fleet, and the survey or der was regarded as possibly signifi cant of an intention to put them tc service.

Ills proposed solution of the problem fol lows. " Nothing would do as much to stop profiteering as to jail the robbers who, have made fortunes the last year 01 two by gouging the public on food, stuffs, fuel and other (necessities of life. About 12,000 brand new mill ionaires have been created In this country during the war and In th year just drawing to a close. It is no trouble to find profiteers of tht rank and the class in that crowd, I think we now have all the laws nec essary to convict. The history of si' the government's anti-trust prosecu tions in 25 years does not show a sin gle individual ever served a jail sen tence for a violation. The country would like to see that record broken and there was never a better time to get action than right now. Until this orgyof high prices is stopped there should be a limitation on profits, not price-fixing, but th government should.sce that the busi ness concern makes public the cost of its goods and that it does not take more than a fair profit, as is being done in Canada. ; It would help some if we could end, 'he gambling in foodstuffs on the big exchanges of New York, Chicago and other cities. The gambler has no place In hu man society. It will take new legis lation to do that. I am for it. The srang of stock jobbers and prototers who have in the last year unloaded millions of worthless stocks on the gullible public should be put out business, All issues of railroad and other securities should have govern-' ment approval. That will require a federal blue sky luw, and this conJ gress should not hesitate a moment in enacting such legislation. Wireless From U. S. to Hawaii and Japkh WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.
