 And a small boy must have friend and he is going to have a friend. It may be bad friend or a good one, as envir- onment or chance may have it. but he has to have companionship, and he'll find 1t in spite of any and everything.
 And It's up to all the "grown-up'' popu- lation and all the community interests, and all the Y. M. C. As and all other scources that the small boy get into good company
 Many factors are working to this end. and much is being done to make the right sort of society for the small boy. The gang spirit, which after all only means very low but sincere sort of co-opera- ton is being ushered into good channels.
 Directed play is getting groups of boys interested in clean sport. Municipal recreation halls are keeping them from houses of prostitution. adequate child la bor laws are educating them for better citizenship, censuring immoral pictures and indecent shows is helping to lift the standard
 Boy police assist in order and Scouts help in group interests.
 The general trend of the times is effect ing the youth of the city. It's making it possible for boys to come in contact with better things. Men are only boys grown tall,' and character moulded in their early youth will stand them for life.

the year to date and much higher than last years average.
 "The gross earnings of steam rail- roads in July totaled 263 million dol lars compared with POI million dol lars last year, an increase of nearl l per cent. Economies in operation brought about a decrease in operating expenses causing net earnings to reach almost SS million dollars compared with IS million dollars for the same month of 1914, the increase being nearly IS per cent. Reports already received for August, which are, how ever not complete, indicate that gross earnings for that month ran about the same as last year while net earnings for August, when reports are all in. will show a considerable gain over the same month of 1914. Net earnings for the first six months of this year amounted to 395 million dollars com pared with 347 million dollars last year, an increase of nearly IA per cent, which means that net earnings for the first half of this year showed a slight improvement over the first half of 1918, the first half of 1914 falling about 13 per cent below the previous year and this year we have regafned the loss. The grain and cotton movement will. during the next few weeks, be of great help in the total freight show ing.
 'So far this year the railroads have ordered 56 thousand cars compared with so thousand to the same date last year and nearly Ill thousand to the same date in 1918.
 "On the first of the month the num- Der of idle cars was 1s3,659 compared with 163,326 a year ago. The number of idle cars decreased during the month of August by s2 thousand cars.
 "COttOn consumed in August amounted to ASA thousand bales com pared with 3S4 thousand bales for the same month last year Exports of cot ton for August were 163 thousand bales compared with 21 thousand bales year ago and imports were 10 thou sand bales compared with 27 thou sand bales year ago. Cotton spindles active In August numbered 31,065 thousand against S0,34S thousand a year ago.
 AS stated earlier in the report, gem eral domestic business is improving steadily and surely and the improve ment is being felt pretty well over the country There are dull spots but these spots are growing smaller. In the southeast states and on the very edge of the Pacific slope business is con- siderably below normal In the entire central part of the country from west ern Pennsylvania to eastern Nevada and from North Dakota to New Mex leo business is better than normal. In the New England states and In a strip completely surrounding the active area mentioned Is a considerable area (be- l Ing about one-fourth of the United States) in which business is just about what it should be. In the central west northwest and southwest business runs | from per cent to 10 per cent above normal, while in the remainder of the country business is about per cent below normal. Taking the known un. | filled orders in all lines as a basis, 1 Is safe to conclude that business will continue it's steady improvement through the remaining weeks of the | year at least.
