DIES MONIES, Ia, April 13.--Dur
ing the past few years II has been
proclaimed broadcast in newspapers
magazines, at banquets, in bulletins
and In almost every other conceivable
manner. that the cost Of labor and
supplies to the railroads OF the Uni
ted States has been increasing. while
freight rates have not been permitted
10 advance, resulting ip>d constantly
declining net revenue.
That proposition sounds plausible
but 1t is absolutely fallacious.
There has been practically a revolu
! ton in American railroading during
the past Is years. Larger engines
stronger roadbeds, better cars en-
able q man to handle two or three
times as many tons as he could Ia
years ago.
The B. & o. has increased its train
load SO per cent In the past three
years. The undisputed evidence In
this case shows that the net revenues
OF American railroads last year, above
all costs OF labor. supplies, taxes and
interest. were greater than for any
other year since the first locomotive
was built. except in 1910.
The national propaganda about de-
pleted revenues commenced in 1910
The sworn reports of these companies

during the past fOur-year period com

Invalid Would Store Piano.

arms. and hands. Through your Helping
Hand I am hoping to be able to find some
one willing to store a piano in her home.
When in better circumstances this woman
owned a piano and played well. 1t would
be unspeakable comfort to her to have one
again. and would bring much brightness
to her lonely life. There are no children
in the family; she lives in a good. plastered
house. and the best care would be taken OF
the instrument. 1 will gladly pay charges
for freight. etc. MRS. T. F.
The writer does not state how far the
piano would have to travel. but as she is
prepared to pay freight charges these would
not be a burden upon the woman who would
be benefited by the chance to enjoy music.
Is there not some one who has a piano not
in use she would be willing to intrust to the
invalid? fully appreciate all it would
mean to a musician to permit piano to be
transported a considerable distance. even
IL II would be well cared for after 1t reached
its destination. but print the plea in the
belief that the kind friends who have met
so many other appeals will not be wanting
now.

Basis of Good Administration.

All administrative ability is not summed
up in the facility with which you make
your maids industrious With that you
must blend an ability on your own part
which forces them to respect your powers
along tho lines on which you direct them
and gives them to comprehend that you are
capable of turning In and doing your own
work IL they leave you. Your scientific
efficiency rs an empty sham unless you
make it both scientific and efficient.
When you go through the contents Of
your pantry with your cook you should BE-
familiar enough with quantities to know
how long certain commodities should last
as well as how TO use them in compoundlnS
dishes. Cultivate your eye for dirt" so
that you can tell at glance II a rug or .
curtain has been properly beaten or
brushed. floor satisfactorily wiped. a
cornice or a picture frame well busted.
! have known women who were keen to
notice these things when they were doing
their own work who seemed to lose the see
ing eye as soon as they delegated their
household duties to hirelings.
While the knowledge OF domestic per-
formauce is for your own benefit primarily
II also serves for the instruction OF your
servants You owe them the duty of proper
training. Incidentally you compel better
service than Is accorded the uniformed
mistress. Your familiarity with the way
the work should be done. your demand for
well finished products win the respect Of
your employees, and when you possess the
self-command which prohibits harsh re.
buke or a raised voice in the correction OF
maid you gain an even higher place in
her opinion.
All such details are a part of your equip
ment as a well educated housekeeper with
b development which when carried on
steadily means the attainment In your
home of a high ideal for the profession
followed by more women than any other
occupation in the world. II is. TO use a
slang phrase. up 10 you " to put this pro-
fession on a level with the industrial pur-
suits which have been benefited by the in
OF scientific management. Are
we homemakers to fall below the standard
set by workers outside Of the home? What
do you say about It?
