your future CuTlStlndS re-
1 membrance would be COM
pleted in ample time, and un-
der to circumstances would the next
Christmas season find you in rush
and hustle, planning and finishing be-
lated Christmas gifts. What an idle
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are racking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour, in great hurry and turmoil.
Isn't 1t so?
What not to give, would be a more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec-
ton of your gifts some regard has
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility OF the present. A wise idea is
to spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
II 1t expresses something Of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon a
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit is not expenditure. How easy
1t is to purchase gorgeous gifts II one
has a well filled pursei Buff the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions of love and
thoughtfuluess. The thought and time
you put In gifts of your own handi-
work will mean much more than II
you simply give something for the
sake of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen.
orally small. A multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand. and of odd pieces of linen. rib
bons and silk. Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote of the Yuletide season.
Go at your tasks in a cheerful, blith-
some manner, and you will find your
work one of joy. The following sug
gestions may provide you with numer-
Gus ideas for attractive gifts. which
may be made inexpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets to
perfume your friends gowns may be
made at very small cost. Make six
sachets in pastel shades OF satin rib
bon about two inches square. Fill
with soft cotton busted with some
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
sachets one on top OF the other and
tie with narrow gauze ribbon. Gilt
safety pins are attached TO each
sachet so the bags can be pinned on
the different frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have to purchase a glass can

The Railroad Situation

No fair-minded man doubts that the
American public as a whole is not only
willing but anxious that railroad COM
ranies should receive fair treatment. For
that reason ii is regarded here as certain
that the friction and annoyances and mis-
UNDERSTANDINGS which now prevail will in
the course of a few years pass away.
When the time comes, railway companies
of the United states will be in position to
seek the great amount of new capital
which is necessary If the roads are to
progress sympathetically and eoincidently
with the growth of business In the United

sought, and there are always available
reserve lists upon which to draw when
responsible positions are to be filled.
The experience of the fall of 1872 fur
nishes one of the best proofs that the faith
in investors in the soundness of American
railroads as a whole has not been greatly
impaired by adverse influences in the past
six or seven years. Furthermore, the ex-
perience last fall shows that career as
a railway manager is still something that
tempts the ambition Of young men. The
public In the fall of last year did not real
ize how greatly the ability of the younger
generation of railway managers-the
younger men who hold subordinate posi-
tions-was tested. Until August of last
year the impression was that the harvest
might be somewhat below average.
Favorable winds. showers and unsbine
matured splendid harvest and when the
business men of the country knew that
one of the greatest OF American barvests
was 10 be garnered they began activities
which very rapidly increased. All this
called for extraordinary energy and ability
on the part of railroad managers and
especially the younger generation who
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-14

have actual charge of the handling OF
traffic and the moving of trains In addi-
tion to the sudden and very great demand
for transportation of grain, manufacturers
and wholesalers began movement of
commodities which almost made new
record, and did make new one so far
as the suddenness of the demand was con-
cerned
The younger men who had charge of the
handling of traffic and the moving of
trains met their responsibilities in man
ner which has called out the highest com
nendations of the executive heads of our
railroads. These younger men would not
work with enthusiasm unless they were
confident that the American railroad had
as great future relatively as any other
American activity. Railway managers in
this city are inclined to think that prevail
ing conditions are only q passing phase of
the readjustment which is now In progress
In our entire business world.

By HOLLAND,

New York, August 1S.-(Special) Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the executive
committee of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, states in an article by him recently
published that in a four-year period be-
ginning in the panic year of 1857 and end
ing in 1911-a period contemporaneou with
the last part OF Roosevelt's administra-
ton and the first two years of Taft's-the
railroads of the United States put a lit
tie over s2,000,000,0O0 of new capital into
their properties. In 1907, on $4,000, 900 900
invested in railroad properties the railroad
companies received about 100000 more
than they received in 1911 on $4,000. 600 900
OF invested capital.
1t was in 1907 or about that time that
James J. Hill was reported to have said
that the railways of the United States
would need about s., 900, 100000 of new capt.
tai in five years if they were to be able
to make the necessary improvements to
Keep up equipment and adequately to pro-
vide terminal facilities.
When Mr.. Hill made this statement
many persons thought he was talking for
effect or making a wild guess. But ac-
cording to the carefully prepared state
ments of Mr. Kruttschnitt, American rail-
road companies did find in four years
S2,00o,0oO0O0 of new capital and put 1t to
good use. Every dollar of this new capi-
tai went into certain improvements which
so far have yielded no return. Mr. Krutt-
schnitt makes this statement without any
qualification 1t appears to be confirmed
by something which President Ripley of
the Atchison Railway company said a day
or two ago.
He was referring to the fact that the
gross earnings of the Atchison system in
!, the past fiscal year were the largest the
company has ever secured and vet in
spite of these great gross earnings there
was no corresponding gain in the net earn
ings. Both President Ripley and Chair
man Kruttschnitt report that the great
increase in non-remunerative expenditures
which for the most part have been COM
PEELED by legislative enactments explains
why it is that increases in gross revenue
are not followed by increases in net. At
a recent conference of railway men in this
city 1t was said that but for the very
large amount of business offered to the
railroads whereby gross earrings have been
increased some of them would be peril
ously near facing actual deficit because of
the heavy expenditure required in recent
years by the laws.

Reports All Encouraging

Recently an attempt was made to secure
opinions from business interests, bankers,
railroad presidents and men engaged in
mercantile business respecting the cosidi-
ltion of trade as a whole throughout the
United States. The reports that were re-
ceived were all encouraging. some of them
highly enthusiastic. There appears to be
no difference of opinion about the funda-
mental soundness of American business
life. And tile statements made by ma
tional banks and state banks are absolute
demonstration of the perfect soundness OF
the American banks as whole.
There does appear, however, in many of
these reports an intimation that American
business men are beginning to wonder
whether after all the railroad companies
are getting a fair deal. The new presi-
dent of the New Haven system, Howard
Elliott, is quoted as having said that it
is his philosophy that as the railroads
have something to sell the great public
and as the great public has something u
buy of the railroads-namely transporta
tion-the relation between the two should
be one of perfect cooperation, based upon
fairness and justice. President Elliott is
not one of those who voice criticism or
make complaints, but some things which
he has said recently and some of his adj
dresses in the far northwest justify the
opinion that he is convinced that as soon
as the great public perfectly understands
what the situation of the railroads is,
realizing how vital the railroad is to the
countrys business, popular sentiment win
demand that fair treatment be given to
the railroad by legislators and state en-
