Railroad Charges Not Cause of High

Chicago, Jan. T-Transportation charges by railroads throughout the United States are so low that they are not 8 factor in the high cost of living, according to A. Prouty, a mem Der of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, who delivered an address before the Traffic Club of Chicago yes- terday
 The general level of railway rates in nearly all parts of the country has been lowered to a point where it cannot be any. further reduced" the speaker said.
 Stability is of more importance nowadays in the determine ton of railroad rates than is elasticity. The shipper must know that fixed rules govern his business. There is no oc- casion for perpetual changes in orr tariffs. Elasticity of rates means preference and discrimination. The continual change benefits no one.
 The interstate commerce commits sion will never be efficient until 1t has the power to regulate freight, passenger and express rates

SNOWFALL CONTEST
 APPROVED BY DEAN

New Haven, Jan. 17.-The snowbalI- ing contest on the Yale campus las. evening, to mark the first real touch of an oId-fashioned winter, is descrip- ed by Dean Jones, of the academic department today as merely an inci- dent
 Reports that a hundred windows had been broken in dofrnftories he said, were gross exaggerations, as less than half a dozen panes suffered from fracture. The dean said that he was not surprised that there was snow ballling; he would have been surprised If there was not, and the incident waa simply an outburst of exuberancy in which the student body had a jolly good time and no damage done which called for attention from the college authorities.

The Mover Gar Makes
 Hit at Automobile Show

a z.
 B. w. Mover of Syracuse, builder of the Mover cars, with Mrs Mover, vis- sited the annual Bridgeport Automobile show yesterday and were especially pecially with the disp1ayA of Mover cars which O.. M. Banks of Norwalk is making. There is q social atInos- phere about the Mover space at the show which appeals to every visitor and MT. Banks himself has a neigh spectators and describing the beauty and quality of Mover cars which catches and holds the attention of his auditors. 4
 The symmetrical lines on which Mover cars are built and attractive- ness with which they are finished are qualities which commend themselves at once to every motorist who sees them. MT. Mover was a famous coach builder long b efore altomob came into use. Now, instead of building coaches with a pole to which would be attached two horses he builds handsome automobile coach bodies with a 40 h.p. motor to haul them. The special Mover rraotor,d spring suspen- sion and U-s S. L. electric starter are among the many features which the Mover car possesses.
 MT. Mover was delighted with the Bridgeport Auto show. He said it com pared most fayorably with the show at Syracuse, his home town. Each night at the Mover booth, MT. Banks and his able assistant, Mir Bradley, have distributed carnations. Monday, the color was scarlet; Tues day, crimson; Wednesday, pink; Thursday, white; Friday, red and to- night the color will be white again.
 .'The Mover you see of Mover car the Mover you want to own one,'' has become a familiar phrase since the show opened.
