Why Girls Leave Home.

During 1911 the New York police were
called to the aid OF families from which
some member had disappeared exactly
$500 times, and during this same time
approximately l.0O0 women. most OF them
young girls, ranging in age from IA to %
years, have utterly disappeared. Nor does
this number cover all the young women
who drop out of the world Of their own
acquaintance suddenly. The police say
that not more than half the actual disap-
pearsnces are formally reported.
During 1871" says a police official, we
have been confronted with hundreds OF
cases similar in every degree to that Of
Dorothy Arnold. Many other cases are
Just as battling as hers. The young girls
left absolutely no trace behind. They
made no preparations for departure, and
few have since been heard from. We

The Year for the Railroads.

The railroads of the country, it is
gratifying to know, enjoyed larger
net earnings in 1911 than they did
in 1910. The railroads constitute
our largest single industry and are
regarded as an index TO business con-
ditions generally. Their record for
last year, therefore, is encouraging
and quite significant 1t tends to
displace the fear of their lack of in-
herent resistance force and to eneour-
age hopes for an even better year in
1912.
OF course. some roads came out
with losses. The net gain, therefore,
is the more important. showing what
excellent results obtained on some
lines in order that lapses on others
might be overcome. 1t is especially
OF interest 10 note that, for the month
Of December, for instance, among the
roads showing a loss is the Wabash.
a road this is facing receiyership,
not for lack OF available material re-
sources, but entirely because Of mis-
management in its finances. How
many of them with losses are SINH
larly situated? When its finances
are readjusted and conducted on lines
as approved as its physical manage
ment at present is. the Wabash will
not show up with a loss.
There is indeed much in the rail
road outlook TO add TO the eneour-
sgement for the present year,
