siderable Importance. The gain in net
in March this year of 5000, 900 over
March last year has less meaning be-
cause March, 1913. showed a falling
off in net Of 81 0O, 900. The gain in
600 for all the railroads in the coun-
try combined, is indicative of an i'm
proving situation, for, not since Sep
TENDER, 1913, have we had q months
report showing an increase in gross
earnings oVer the corresponding month
Of h previous year. Reports SO far
in for the month Of April indicate a
decrease in gross earnings in April as
compared with a year ago.
The total number Of ilde cars on the
first Of the month was 229, 900, COM
pared with 10000 idle a yea ago.. In
spite of the unusually large number Of
idle cars, there are points in the coun-
try today where shippers are unable
to obtain cars promptly, some rail
roads having so materially surtailed
operations as to make 1t difficult for
them to get the empties to the ship
ping points. Aside from this, equip
ment buying has not been as small as
current reports would indicate. Dur
chases of freight cars during April to-
falling nearly 10000. and new freight
cars purchased from January /. 1913.
to this date make UP a larger number
than for any previous siXteen-mOnth
period with one exception. The rail-
roads have the cars but many roads
lack men to handle them and are not
disposed to put on more men in order
to get more business when the busl-
ness cannot be handled at a profit.

vaal amounted to $684,0OO fine ounces
for April compared with 1856, 900 ounces

however, from 22,155 ounces per day
in March to 22,796 ounces per day in
April. The falling off in gold pro-
duction for this district for tho year
to date totals about $4,000, 900.
Pig iron production for April was

The untitled tonnage Of the steel

The production of copper in April

THOMAS Wins Big
AUTOMOBILE RACE

Indianapolis, Ind. June /. Rene
Thomas. driving a French car, won
the fourth annual 500-mile race on
the Speedway here. All Speedway
records from five to 200 miles were
broken. The first American to finish.
was Barney Oldfeld, in fifth place. 4
Thomas time was 6 hours 3 min
utes As 99-100 seconds. The winner
maintained a speed Of STAT miles
per hour. The former record was 6
hours 21 minutes 3-100 seconds, es-
tablished by Joe Dawson in 1912. Ar
thur Duray finished second, Z min
utes after the winner. Albert Guyot
was third, Jules Goux, winner Of the
1913 race, fourth. Six men were in
jured, nom seriously. Dawson's COL
lar bone was broken. He was the
most seriously hurt.
Thomas led at the end Of the first
miles, having driven the
first fifth of the race in / hour 9 min
utes 35 seconds, Or at the rate of
more than eighty-seven miles an hour.
Thomas was closely followed by Duray
and Bragg. :
Gilhooley's car overturned at the
southwest turn and both driver and
mechanician were taken to a. hospi-
tai. Chassagnes' car overturned on
the northwest turn and his mechani-
clan, Morris, was Knocked uncon-
scious. Chassagne escaped injury.
Dawson, the winner OF the 1912
race, was injured when his car turn
ed over nj pinned him and his me-
chanician under it. Both were taken
to the field hospital. Dawson's ma
chine overturned when he tried to
avoid Gilhooley's wrecked car.

completed and soil and weather con-
dltiOnS are on the whole most salts
factory. Many estimates of the win
ter wheat crop have been unreasonably
high, insufficient allowances having
been made for things that always hap
pen between the first spring view Of
the wheat and the days of harvest.
COnserVatiVelY, we may expect not
less than $50, 600, 900 bushels Of wheat
and more than 40, 900, 900 bushels of
rye, both Of which would be record
crops. The Hessian fly is after the
wheat in some sections but it Is not
likely that the damage which will be
done can bring the crop below the
above figures.
The tide Of business has passed tho
low ebb and in a number Of lines I'M
usually activity is in evidence. Cop
per and tin mOng the metals are Civ
ing a good account of themselves;
railroad earnings, if not increased ma
terialIy, have at least stopped their
down-hill tumble, foreign trade is
heavy and bank Clearings are normal
Great activity is not to be expected in
all lines, but the trend is toward bet
ter conditions and the Optimists are
on the increase. 1t is not likely that
business totals for 1914 will equal
those Of 1913, nor was this to be eX-
pected, but there are many indica-
tons of an early fall Improvement,
which will extend to nearly all lines.
From now until the first Of September
! business will probably move along
slowly, but rather more steadily than
it has in the recent past.

When b Bible is read Again.

New York Sun: A correspondent
complains of a poet who wrote OF
~"Bathsheba," where he had the Queen
| Of Sheba" in mind. and cries: II wish
there were some power to compel peo-
| pie to read the Bible"
Many persons will ech this wish,
| for various reasons. The orthodox, be-
| cause they believe that the letter Of
| the word contains all things necessary
for salvation. The great company edu-
/, Gators, of every station and degree,
because many of them recognize the
vast influence for intelligence, knowl-
edge and culture which flows from q
familiarity with the language of the
King James version Of the scriptures.
1t would be easy to l%engthen the list
Of those who wish people could be
compelled to read the Bible"
GrantingE all the happy exceptions
which seem to prove the rule. the idea
Is pretty much a vain hope at the mo-
ment. 1t is not improbable that after
the present generation o virtual il
literatcs in this country shall have
grown old in their lives or striving to
STANDARDIZED mankind for unitarian
purposes the pendulum will swing back
again toward the cultivation of in
tellectual pursuits, and in any such
frame of public opinion consistent
reading of and listening to the Bible
from childhood to maturity will be
sure to reappear. And then a genera
ton will grow up again whose ears
will always be filled with the reson-
ance Of those reverberating syllables
Of Scripture which have subconscious-
ly influenced and guided the thought
and speech and writing of the more
influential among the leaders Of opin-
ion during the last century.

A.N1lDOTES FOR THE TANGO.

The tango, according to one we'll
known dancing instructor. is merely
Il reNersion to the more primitive in
Stincts in dancing. The waltz, the
two-step and the three-step had been
so refined and made SO regular that
they had become m~achine-like, and
people had tired of dancing them.
They demanded something moro act
i've. more strenuous, something to
which they could give themselves up
more fully. instead of feeling that they

Viewing tho tango in this light, us
the fruition of a desire for more
strenuous dancing. the physical direct
or OF II of the New York V. NJ. G. A.
branches set out to find other dances
equally strenuous. but in his opinion
less open To criticism. Instead of in
venting some new step or glide, hc
looked back e the terpsichofcan
favorites of the past, and out of the
numerous ances considered selected
two. Now he asserts he has complete
~ won Il number of converts from the
tango. and has read hope of bringing
the dances chosen as substitutes into
popular favor.
What may these dances be that are
attractive enough 20 WOO people away
from the tango fad? None other than
the old-time sailors hornpipe and
Highland fling. AS the tango is said
10 be Il reversion to the savagery of
South America. so the hornpipe and
fling lake the lancer back to the
more elemental days of the English
and Scotch peoples. and the American
youth of today, once he has mastered
the steps, finds something of the en-
filtration of his ancestors coming back
as he dances them.
Is the tango Il disease? some critics
have asked. Well. V if it is, there
are antidotes. If the hornpipe and
Highland fling fail to prove the prop
er specific. there are still great posi-
hilities in the Virginia reel. to Ny
