it is constantly being transport Z
ed over the railroads OF the =

that railroad companies receive
it for transportation almost as 4
readily as they do coal Nitro
glycerin, however, is still under
the transportation ban in both
the United States and Europe.
Dynamite is today one OF the
most important factors in the
progress of civilization. Without
il the mighty engineering
achievements Panama ca
nal. the mountain and river tun-
nels-could not be accomplished.
It takes an important part in
building the modern skyscrap-
ers; it is used to mine the nee
essary huge quantities of iron
and other metals that enter into
structures. 1t blasts out the mil
lions of tons of coal that supply
heat, light and power, and give
life to the locomotives that
bring food and clothing to the
populace of cities. 1t is helping
to grow the food we eat-the
modern scientific farmer uses it
to pillow his land, its explosions
shattering the sub-soil which no
pillow ever reaches. 1t is said to
increase the crops greatly in
quality and by so per cent in
quantity. Today dynamite is
used to fight great confagra-
tions, to fight wars and to pre-
pare for a large part of the
progress of the world.

Expert Discusses Freight Rates
Proposed Increases Will Have But Slight Effect Cost
Commodities Is Asserted by Harry Thompson.


Is it enoughf The roads ash. And
the question is directed to the general
public as the ultimate consumer Of
transportation. They want the public
to remember that present freight rates
were mado when operating costs we're
much less than they are now. Wages
for all classes Of employees are now
higher, terminal facilities cost far more,
equipment and supply costs nave
greatly increased, maintenance and re-
pairs are greater-every item of cost
that enters into freight carrying has
notably increased, while the rate per
ton mile has decreased.
To this high cost of living for the
railroads is Of course attributed the
striking decline in railroad construc.
tion. In the last ten years the mileage
for the whole country increased less
than 20 per cent while for the last
three years new construction has fallen
to almost nothing The railway mileage
Of the United States is nearly $50, 900
-four or five times that of any other
country, and nearly half the railway
mileage Of the world. On the average
there is not in the United States a
point of habitable land distant more
than five miles from railroad. There
| is little new construction for the sim
pie reason that in spite Of the amazing
industrial growth Of the country, new
lines do not pay.
A very clear understanding of the
needs Of the roads is shown by the at
titude of the shippers toward the pro-
posed increase in rates In its inquiry
into the justice of the railroads pro-
iposal the Interstate Commerce Commits
|aion han received frank statements from
(shippers fasoring the granting Of the
privileges asked. Probably the fact
THAT the roads have been compelled to
retreneh in every direction Has had
something to do with this change Of
heart.
Everything considered, it would seem
Iprobable that some concession will be
lmade to enable the roads to meet their
increased expenses.

NNE of the most noticeable things

travel because of its direct part in it;
but freight traffic has been closed
book to all except those engaged in
overland commerce. It would seem
now, however, with this enlightening
discussion in progress, that before the
proposal at present before the Inter
state Commerce Commission is decided,
the public will be bettere informed
than ever before on this much more
important source Of railroad earnings.
Considerable comment has been given

issued, supporting their contention Of
the necessity Of increased rates, in

The transportation cost to the con.
sumer on articles of every day use is
graphically shown; for example, the
railroads get 9 2-5 cents for carrying a
pair of shoes from Boston to Chicago.

bands commitment, entreating me
to get him out of prison, but she was
able to support her three children
throughout the six years of his sen.
tence.
From her first days of despair she
soon stepped forth. She began, sur
mounted, and ended each day with one
intent. Through six years she rushed
with splendor on her mind; through
fierce asceticism and lf-denial to-
ward complete self-indulgence. She
was often tired, but in the main her
strength increased. She became very
strong and handsome, with the dis
tincton of vigorous single minded
ness that never once had broken down.
Nor in the new delight and power of
herself did she forget her first object
or grow to think less of the reward.
Her love for her husband remained
lively and fresh, her compassion leaping
and intense. During the six years, she
had accounted for her over weening
ardor--as one excuses too much love and
folds it deeper in the rose by offering
a likely and a selfish motive-saying:
"lIe will be a great help to me when
he gets out. +" told her she could not
be sure he would be much help after

and had answered, leaning her head to
