effect of fluctuations of the weather
shows that last January as usual was
relatively poor month for railway
traffic
The fact that this operating income
per mile of line per day averaged $12.-
Is in November, $10.16 in December,
and $7,66 in January shows that as
usual this was month during which
traffic diminished.
Operating income is the amount, af-
ter the payment of operating expenses
and taxes, available to the railways for
rentals, interest on bonds, appropria-
tions for betterments, and new con-
structon, and for dividends. In the
aggregate it averaged per mile of line
for the month 1915 for the railways of
the East; 1924 for the railways of the
South, and SLIT for he railways of the
West.
These figures are from the summary
of earnings and expenses of steam
railways operating about ninety per
cent of the mileage of the country,
made by the Bureau of Railway Econ
omics from the reports o fthese rail-
ways to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

.NONHN'S AUXILIARY
IS WELL ORGANIZED

On january 1Stn Hon. w. A. Smith
and Rev. Reginald Wilcox effected a
temporary organization Of a Civic Bet
terment Associations. among the women
of Hendersonville, designated at The.
Womenas Auxiliary to the Greater Hem
Jacksonville club. Mrs. Bessie EgertQn
was elected president and Miss Bessie
Steedman recording secretary. TWen-
ty-tWo charter members were enrolled.
The object of this organization was to
promote moral and physical strength
and beauty in HendersonVflle. It was
argued that by combined effort on the
part of the women Hendersonville
might become one of the cleanest, most
sanitary moral and beautiful cities In
the United States. At subsequent
meeting week later, the town was di-
vided into ten wards and ten vice pres
idents and ten secretaries were ap-
pointed to have supervision OF these
wards. At the end of four weeks a
mass meeting was held at which the
following permanent officers were cleo
ted. Mrs. Bessie Egerton. president.
Mrs. J. w. Williams. vice president.
Miss Bessie Steedman, recording Sec
retary, Miss Mae Lucille Smith corre-
spending secretary. The majority of
the ward vice presidents an dsecreta-
ries were retained In office and the
places of the few who could not serve
longer were efficiently filed. Since
this permanent organization much eff
fective work has been done. A house
to house canvass has been made by the
vice presidents and secretaries in their
respective wards, the object of the or
ho a nd
ladies visited have been requested to
become members and to cooperate in
the work AS result of the canvass
the membership has been increased to
over one hundred. The constitution
and bylaws have been drafted and
were adopted at the last meeting. The
city council has been petitioned to ap-
point q sanitary inspector; to provide
8 dumping GROUND for the reception Of
garIake ifd 1011fefS Sr6flse Ii some 1sola-
ted spot safe removed from the town
and to furnish garbage wagons for
carrying away this waste. These re-
quests hive been given prompt and
courteous attention by the council
1t has been decided to prac-
tical after Mayor Station announces
the location of the dumping
ground, at which time the anti-fy cru
sade will begin. Other plans are at
present on foot for civic betterment
along various lines.
Unfortunately there seems to exist
a slight misunderstanding with mi
nority of Hendersonville's good citi-
zens as OF the attitude of the women
in this work. 1t has been reported to-
the auxiliary that few Of the men en-
tertain the erroneous idea that the wo-
men, with no more regard for mascu-
line authority than band Of militant
suffragettes, intend to encroach upon
their territory, usurp their rights and

The exceptional frequency of fires
during the past year in Winston-Salem
and evidences of over insurance that
have been found by his investigators
have constrained Commissioned of In
surance Young to call upon the 130
insurance companies represented in the
insurance business of the Twin City
to be held April 2, to investigate the
whole matter of policies of insurance
in force and its relative value to the
property insured. It is estimated that
something like 40 percent OF the tre
losses Of the entire State during the
past year have been in Winston Salem
and several of the most disastrous, it
is claimed, have evidences OF incen-
diarism for Insurance profits.

Railway Business for January.

The mild weather that prevailed
throughout the United States during
January and the good condition of bus
mess in general caused the returns of
the railways to show large increases
over january of 1912, a month that was
characterized by severe weather inn
peding railway operation. Operating
income for each mile of line averaged
averager $7.66 for each day In January
1913. This average for January 1912
was $500.
The corresponding average per mile
per day for the last fiscal year was
1913, for the previous fiscal year
$9.52, for the seven months OF the cur
reEk fiscal year $11.45. Comparison
with these longer periods average the

iinples. after which each scholar had
to read four lines from his primer
This was accomplished amidst great
deal of hair pulling. gum chewing
and paper wad throwing The only
one chastised was Helena Miller, who
had to sit before the whole school in
a high chair with a Ounce cap on her
h .ad. After recess there was draw
ing contest. Each child drawing the
picture of an animal to be guessed by
the others. There was also a whistl-
ing match, spelling match. song fes-
tival and recitations given in Friday

for dinner whereupon each couple
proceeded to the kitchen and picked
out one of the numerous dinner boxes,
Much to the delight Of all scholars
said boxes contained most delicious
goodies, the punch passed around by
Mike Cleaver being also very deleeta-
Bile. After dinner little George Han

number of the old songs, all joining
in singing John Browns BODY" with
