PASSENGERS ARB SAPB ON SOUTHERN'S TRAINS, ft. " Washington. D. C., September 10. ?Fairffcjf Harrisorv, president of the I Southern Railway System. sold today: Since the manager/ient of the Southern resumed the operation of its prop-1 erty on Marc- 1. 1920. at the end of j federal control, it has* had the comfort J of being able to record, month by! month, that no passenger has lest his' ?? - - - !, life by accident while on one of its j _ trains. What this means by way of forethought throughout the organization responsible for the passengers' safe conduct will appear in the fact that during those thirty months, ended August 31, 1922, the Southern's 1 trains carried pasengers equivalent,,in A number to nearly half the population of the United States, and carried them under va^-ing conditions, providential and hutyan, including stress of weath. er and stress of strike. j On the other hand, during the same period, there has been a steadily grow- . 1 ing toll of fatal accidents at road crossings^ resulting in loss of life to > passengers in automobiles. It is, i therefore, apparent that the drivers of i. automobiles have not been as sue-j cessful in rotecting their assengers as 1 the railroad has been: It cannot be questioned that the social duty of pre- | caution rests as much upon one as upon the other. \ ? r i lb was bad enough when rains were t I* destroying the crops, but now that the j golf courses are being ruined the sit..

Washington, Sept. 10.?Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina, announces that he will introduce a joint house and senate resolution providing for cooperation between the federal government and .cotton producing states in m&tnng it possible for the South to forego the planting and growing of cotton for one year. The object of the proposed resolution will be the extermination of the boll weevil by eliminating the only plant on which he feeds. The proposed'resolution will precipitate extensive discussion provided it is ever seriously considered in congress. Senator Smith denies that the government has the right or power to dictate to a sovereign state what it shall not plant. He holds, however, that a sovereign state may so'dictate to its citizens, or that its citizens will voluntarily and unanimously agree to grow no cotton with the understanding that the federal and state governments will pay a certain premium on every acre planted in crops'for which there will be no money market. The. South Carolina senator holds that if the states east of the Mississippi river would plant' no cotton one year, and the states west of that river would plant no cotton the succeeding year, the boll weevil would suffer extermination . Government reports recently published proved that nothing has been devised capable of coping with the weevil. He destroys a third of the orop at a cost of $3,000,000,000 per an' num. Senator Smith declares that unless he is exterminated, it vylll be Impossible, in the'fhture, for the south to produce cotton and clothe the. srorld. \ ^ IJe made the point that the problem is not sectional but national and international. He declared that if the' south is deprived of its only money orop, the south would be eliminated as a, market for the manufactured products of other sections. He beholds the South which has weathered the storms of centuries, destroyed by an insect. Southern senators all admit that "something* is wrong. For thej South with a'monopoly demanded by the civilized world, is miserablv Door is far as its real producers of that! monopoly are concerned. But Southern senators have never been able, in recent years, to define the trouble in >uch wise that the world would accept vithout question the definition.

For par- H r agents | ilway System | "'same is true respecting remedies suggested. Senator Caraway of Arkansas, thinks the trohble is found in the fact | that the Southern producer is at the mersv of stock exchanges. He would i abolish the exchanges, but would not I regulate them as Senator Dial of i'Soutn Carolina would regulate them? 'that is, require them to deliver that j'which they agree to deliver. Senator !' Heflin of Alabama has cried, "Cut off ! the heads of the exchanges." tit in the ' senate committee on agriculture, he I agred that SerTator Ransdell of Louis ' iana, moving' in the interest of the New Orleans stock exchanges, write the adverse report on the Dial bill, j Senator Smith of South Carolina, | deploring the condition of the southi ern planter?and he is one, himself? ' opposes the Dial proposition on the i ground of his fear that a differentiaj tion as between grades would imply a I difference in the value of cloth pro| duced from different grades. In advocating the abandonment of cotton planting in the South for one year, Senator Smith referred to the outrageous fact that the price o? cotton is set by manipulators in Liverpool. Dial says the manipulators are in New 'York. \ ;' The idea exists that there are ma! nipulators in both centers, outherners can not get together in a determined '' < ' effort to prevent manipulation. There is no attempt on the part of anyone to deny that-for the failure of Southern senators effectively to legislate in the interest of cotton, Southern senators are solely responsible. Senators from the "West are willing to act respectnig cotton just as senators from the South tell them to Act. But they will do nothing as long as each Southern senator has his own remedy, and raises a storm of protest whenever any other senator from the South attempts to secure relief. In the meanwhile, from the boll weevil and exchanges cotton continues to suffer. The west agrees that the S<fUth shall have that legislation ;it.requires provided the South asks fo it; * v&mt unanimously. ... >^i " IPHUX .

Anotner uei' lief was that the tides were a natural 1 movement of tho respiration or j breathing of the sea. j There arc records of medieval bci liefs anions: the Arabs. Some thought j-that the tides were caused by the moon heating the waters so that they I swelled up and thus rose higher, while | others believed they were caused by ,4 i the vapors generated in the bowels of | tho earth. . Again, others believed I they were caused by the alternate de1 composition of the sea by the air, and i j then the air by the sea, thus account. ing for the ebb and flow. Still another ' belief was that a great serpent swal| lowed and vomited water alternately, j' Early Cape Cod folk and those in j'other districts along the New England coast believed that people died at the ebb or flowing of the tide. Watchers by the bedside of dying people firmly believed that one could not die until fthe ebb tide began to run. In Scot land it was formerly thought that in setting eggs to hatch one should set the eggs at flood tide if one wanted roosters, and at the ebb tide it" one Wanted hens. FRUIT HAS DIVERS FLAVORS. !, In Burma is found a curious and delicious fruit called the durion. This fruit grows on a tree of about sixty feet in height. It is oval-shaped, from ten to twelve inches in length and from six to eight feet in diameter. It is of a light green^color and the outside is covered with thorns half an -inch long. The thorns are very tough and strong. The interior is divided into five sections, in winch lie rows of seeds about an inch long, surrounded with the delicious pulp, which is considered a treat delicacy by those who like it. Others dislike the taste. The flavor is described as follows: "Take the sweetest bananas, the richest pineapples, the most juicy orapgeg, some peaches and cream, flavor the mixture with some rare spice, and yojLJrnight have something that would reSemble ad urion."
