RAILROAD EXPENSES SHOW BIG INCREASE
William D. McAdoo Asserts That Private Operation is Costing 32 Per Cent More
Washington, February 2: -Private operating of the railroads released from federal control is costing the people of the United States 32 per cent more than government operation did during the war. William J. O'Neill, owner of railroads, asserted today before the interstate commerce committee.
The total expenditures for maintaining equipment and maintenance o structures for the period McAdoa said, exceeded the same period of the previous year $429,758,163, or by more than forty per cent.
McAdoo charges that the railroad expenditures during the first six months after federal control when the roads were guaranteed against any losses, made unprecendented expensive expenditures to improve their property at the expense of the federal treasury.
The cost of the guarantee to the federal treasury was $525,412,125, and McAdoe said four-fifths of this amount can be charged to this improvement of the railroads at the government's expense.

Thirty Miners Entombed In Pennsylvania Disaster
Scottdale, Penn., Feb. 2.—Officials of the H. C. Fick Coal Company today said that only 21 miners were in their Gates mine when an explosion occurred at the plant where they recovered from the mine where a gas explosion entombed thirty men.
The workers, 250 feet underground, were a good distance from the two main shafts of the mine, and the shafts at either entrance were damaged, said searchers for the United States Bureau of Mines, who believed that the exposition was near the center of the mine.
One thousand men were employed in the mine in normal conditions, but today when the explosion occurred, officials estimated that thirty men were in the mine, the regular day force not having reported.
The rescue care of the United States Bureau of Mines was rushed to the scene. Doctors and nurses with medical supplies were sent from Brownville. A large crowd of mine workers and children gathered about the mine workers, ready to identify bodies of husbands and relatives.
The local undertaker received a call for thirty "rest boxes" today.

Song of the Lark and Cricket Chirps To Furnish Inspiration To K.U's Nature-Lovmg Greeks
Advantages and disadvantages is the whirlpool of contention accused by the Sigma Nu Fraternity for other University Greeks and the entire school as well when they started the real estate market by purchasing the fine Stubbs home just beyond the western city limits.
The location is of course the chief bone over which others are attempting to tear apart the Sigma Nu's philosophy of Rousseau and the simple back to nature life. But such a charge is based on the point of the former neighbors of Mr. Bricken. True, it is on the other side of a neck of wooded country but the final reward upon reaching the residence is magnificent. The house itself and especially the interior mirror motif are the nature motif. Rather, it is suggestive of proximity to the boulevard.
And moreover, the touch of the rustic going to and from the Hill or downtown, answers the call of the health expects of today who have put a more modern interpretation on Horace Greeley's initial command, "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country!" The Sigma Nu's do not have to go west. Again, they say the distance is not at all concurrernt. Ten minutes it is to the Engineering Building or fifteen minutes to any other - building on the Hill. A speedometer registers one and one-
tenth miles from *Innes* store, which only exceeds the distance to their former place of residence by the fraction.
And what a place to concentrate!
Only the song of the meadow lark or the chirp of the cricket to lend inspiration. We may expect the Sigs to top the scholarship list being an advantage of all, though, is the splendid opportunity to excel in animal husbandry without having to go to Manhattan. Doubttle the University will soon add an agricultural section out at the Sigma Nu farm. They can be plowman farmers, skating on the north shore, near the fourth ideal layout for a private golf course as well as a polo grounds and tennis court are only some of the features which will add recreation to the heavier tasks of a successful tiller of the soil. Therefore, we have no excuse to fear that the Sigma Nu garden will come to denim and pumpkin vine shoots, rather than clothing out-fits or riding habits.
F. A. School Calls For Pianos in their homes by the hour should The School of Fine Arts is unable call K. U. 45 and give their street to take care of its students in piano and telephone numbers to Dean Butler. Dean Butler is anxious to get a list of people near the University who would be willing to rent hours for piano practice. Those who are willing to rent their piano) returned from her home in Kansas City, Mo., on account of illness.
Until the University does expand as outlined, around the western extremity of the crescent, the fathers of Sigma Nu freshmen will have no cause to fear that their sons are failed to frivolous practice. The universities that they have to milk, the coats every morning before their eight-thirty.

CONGRESS MAY CHECK FORD
Sec. Weeks Suggests Modifica tions of Muscle Shoals
An appropriation of forty million to fifty million dollars "of which Mr. Ford will have the benefit for one hundred years at four per cent" is necessary, the secretary said. If Ford's offer is not accepted by Congress, Weeks recommended that the government complete the Wilson dam and sell the electric power of commercial requirements.
Washington, Feb. 2—Congress should modify Henry Ford's contract for the Muskell Shoals Nitrate project to "safeguard the government interests." Secretary of War Weeks said today in sending it and much other data on the offer to congress.
The most important application firm has announced its limitation of the Ford lease to fifty years instead of one hundred as Ford desired.
Week's action puts up to congress the question as to whether Ford shall obtain the plant for manufacture of cheap fertilizer and other products.
This, he said, could be done for about half the appropriation necessary under the Ford offer, and expenditures would be warranted.
