TRADE STILL QUIET.
But Optimism Regarding the Future
Is More Pronounced.

New York. Feb. 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
While optimism as to the future out
look is rather more pronounced than
in any previous week this year, actual
distributive trade is still quiet and
business expands rather slowly.
Hot and dry in the southwest. high
Temperatures in the eastern half of the
cotton belt, and excessive rains in Cali
fornfa, are some of the obstacles noted
to full retail. distribution, while at
northern and western cities retail
trade is, hardly up to expectations
based on price reductions designed to
move stocks Of winter goods.
Wholesale trade is hardly better
than fair. The far western agricul-
tural regions note considerable caution
in making purchases.
Farm implements are actively in re-
quest, and some leading plow manu-
facturers report the largest orders
ever booked at this season
Improvements in the finished
branches of the steel trade continues
to make progress. and operations tend
to increase.

Extravaganza in Mail Handling
Payments to Roads.
This Sensational Charge Made
by Magazine.
EXPRESS COSTS LESS.
Government Pays $3.50 a Ton
Express $28 a Ton.
Other Items Of General Inter
est in Traffic World.

Extravagance in the payments made
to the railroads for handling the mails
as well as in other expenses OF the
postal service, is charged in an article
appearing in the current NUMBER OF
Engineering Contracting, which COM
mares the "efficiency of operation Of
the postoffiee department with sta
tistics of express companies of the
United States as contained in the tlrst
annual report of express companies
published recently by the interstate
commerce commission.
Before the appearance of this report
an estimate was made that it is cost
ing the government not less than TWO
and probably more than four times as
much per ton of mail as it is costing
the express companies This was an
estimate based on incomplete express
company data and involving an as
sumption as to the weight of the aver
age express packages.
Now, with the exact average cost of
handling, transportation, ETC., 1t is ng-
ured that it costs the express COM
panies only $2S per ton of express mat
ter as compared with the 1925 per ton
that it costs the government to handle
and transport the mails
The government performs a service
roughly comparable with the service
performed by express companies, 1t is
pointed out, and it costs, the govern
1nent more than eleven times per TON
what it costs the express companies.
Furthermore, the government pays the
railway companies SIS per ton for
transporting the mails, whereas the
express companies pay the same rail-
ways less than SIS per ton.
BY the tabulation of figures it is
shown that the expenses of rail trans
portation'' for mali are eight times as
great as for express, and the expenses
of collecting, delivering, etc, are fiji
teen times as great for mail as for ex-
press. The total expense for mail is
nearly eleven and one-half times as
great as for express.

LET GAME ALONE.
intercollegiate Football Rules
Committee Satisfied.
The Game Now Is Safe and Play
able.
MADE FEW CHANGES
Pass Penalty to Be Measured
From Down, Not Pass.
Linesman Judge of Off Side
Three Men on Side Line.

New York. Feb. 4@The intercol-
legiate football rules committee did a
little more surgery on the game at the
meeting in New York.
With E. K. Hall of Dartmouth as
chairman and Walter Camp as secre-
tary the committee decided intermis-
Tsions were too long and reduced the
periods between the first and second
and the third and fourth quarters
from three minutes to two minutes. A
new rule was adopted permitting
teams by agreement to transfer the
supervision of offside play upon the
line of scrimmage from umpire to head
linesman. The linesman. however, is
to report any infraction to the UNI
pire.
Another new rule provides that
throwing q player to the ground after
the referee has declared the ball dead
may be considered unnecessary rough
ness. An amendment was adopted al
lowing only three men to walk up and
down the field on each side of the line.
The present rule allows five. If the
ball accidentally strikes an official
provides another amendment, it shall
not become dead, but play shall con-
tinue
A new rule adopted specifies that all
penalties under the rule regulating the
forward pass shall be applied from the
spot of the down and not on the spot
from which the pass was made.
The committee transferred the duty
of keeping time from the field judge
to the umpire. and in rule Is, section
2, which provides that a player in
catching for a pass shall not be tackled
or shouldered until he has caught the
ball, and taken more than one step
in any direction
The words taken more than one
step in any direction" were stricken
out
After the conference Mr.. Hall said:
1.-The reason the committee made so
few changes is that We feel the game
has accomplished what the new rules
started out to do-the elimination of
serious injuries-and that it was now
a safe and playable game
