URGE RAILROADS
TO REPAIR CARS
Business Men Expect Large
Trade This Fall.
SAY SHORTAGE IS LIKELY

cIares No Attempt Has Been Made
TO Keep Rolling Stock in Shape
During the Depression and That an
Industrial Recovery Will Find Car
riers Unprepared.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-The Illinois Man
ufacturers' association will probably
bring its influence to bear on the rail
roads to take immediate steps toward
repairing all idle cars to avoid car
shortage this fall.
Shippers are alarmed over the pos.
sibility of famine and are criticising
the railroads for falling to keep cars
In repair during the business depres-
sion. Until recently many railroads
have done no repair work and it is
said that a large part of the present
surplus of cars is unfit for service.
The matter is under consideration
by the traffic committee of the Illinois
Manufacturers association and will
be presented to the board of directors
at a meeting Friday. 1t is expected
that a plan of action to impress upon
the railroads the necessity of placing
equipment in repair will be mapped
out.
Inside of three months / expect
the railroads to have more business

Memories.

I love to think of boyhood days,
When life Was free from care,
When all seemed bright and there
were JOY
And gladness everywhere.
I love to think of those old days,
1t cheers my heart-and yet
/ can't forget the lickings that
! sometimes used to get.
'Tis ever thus-the happy thoughts
That memory revives
Are always tinged with sadness when
We look back on our lives.
So when I think of beyhood days
1t thrills my soul-aIl yet
I can't forget the lickings that
I sometimes used to get.

CONGRESS-.

Tho session of Congress which begins to-day
is not only a short session. but 1t comes az the
close of a Presidential administration. There
is little time for the passage ob general pllls
and the more important questions OF the DAY
will naturally go over to the next Congress and
the new administrat tion which have received
commission from the voters TO deal with them.
II IS therefore unlikely that much legisa-
tion Of consequence will be enacted at the COM
ing session. aside from the appropriation bills
They are the big time consuming item every
wear and at the short session only about two
months time is available to deal with them and
with the grist of minor measures that always
engage attention. No fault will be found with
Congress however, If it produces little but the
appropriation bills, provided it addresses itself
10 them in a spirit Of rigid economy. At no
time in recent years has there been such an
imperative need of pairing down appropriations
to actual public requirements as there is now,
with the country's revenue reduced as a result
of business contraction and deficit for this
year eating its way into the accumulated sur
plus of sthe past The country needs to show
the same sort of economy that business IN gen
eral has had TO exercise in order to meet the
changed conditions.
That the national administration appreciates
the temper in which the budget making should
be reached is indicated by the instructions
to the various departments against salary rals-
ing. Congress should exhibit q similar spirit
The results of the last national election were
much more favorable to the Republican party
in general than TO the party in Congress. The
public is likely TO be unusually critical Of its
work in producing this years budget, for the
need of economy IS wildly before the minds OF
the people by reason Of the cutting down OF
expenses that business has had to resort to and
of the attention that has been attracted to the
wastefulness of municipal government.

HEALING BY SPIRITUAL MEANS.

The possibility of healing the sick by other
than strictly physical agencies IS receiving al
tention on the other side of the Auantc' Us
well as on this. At a meeting ef clergy Ineh anu
lavmen Of the Church of England two or three
weeks ago resolution was adopted expressing
the opinion that the time had come Tor the IoI
nation of O central council in the diocese u
London for the consideration OF questions coh
nected with healing by spiritual means Ac-
cordingIy, the Bishop Of London was asked 70
nominate the members Of such council.
As vet no action seems to have been taken IN
resnonse TO the request. Until it is and untl
