duction.
Credit Must Be Improved.
This leads to the consideration as to
whether railroad credit is as good as
the public interest requires. 1t is i'm
possible for railroads to earn enough
TO supply the necessary new facilities
from current revenue. They must be
provided from credit. Investors can
not be coerced, but must be attracted"
Among the conditions affecting rail-
road credit which deter investors he
mentioned the following:
First, Railroad revenues are not
controlled by investors, but are fixed
and limited by governmental authority
and not by one but by several govern
mental authorities, which do not recog-
nize responsibility for assured results
to investors and are uncoordinated.
Second, Railroads cannot control
and the government cannot and does
not limit the expense account
Third, The present system of regu-
lation Is based on policy of regulation
and correction and not on a policy Of
helpfulness and encouragement.
Fourth, The outstanding obligations
OF the railroads have already exceeded
the financial rule of safety and involve
a disprOportionate amount of obiga-
lions bearing fixed charges.

Washington, Nov. ga new policy
" government railroad regulation,

helpfulness and encouragement instead
Of upon principles of repression and
punishment was urged by Alfred p.
Thorn, counsel for the Railway Execu-
tives' Advisory Committee, the first

whole subject of transportation, to
Of experiment, of It's history, its pres
ent conditions and its future needs.
The railroads accept the view that reg
ulation is permanent and enduring
part of government In America and
that the first duty Of the carriers is to
the public. That duty is to afford
reasonable facilities on reasonable
terms and at reasonable rates, and this
must be done before any private inter
ests can be considered"
Certainty, Safety and Sufficlenoy.
Mr.. Thorn contended that the real in
terest Of the public is I'm being assured
OF certainty, safety and sufficiency of
transportation facilities, rather than In
rates. The first consideration OF the
public is to obtain transportation facili-
ties. What the cost is, is In reality a
second consideration, he said.
Mr. Thorn proposed an increase Of
transportation facilities as a method
Of securing relief from the high cost
Of living. There have been less than
1000 miles of new railroad construct
ed In the United States during the past
year." he said, less than In any year

Civil War, and yet the cost Of living Is

OF business considerations.
Look Forward, Not Back.
I'VE may debate about what has
caused the present conditions" said
Mr. Thorn, "but we cannot debate about
what the people need. The President
has taken the view that we must look
forward In this matter and make a
fresh assessment OF circumstances In
order to deal helpfully and intelligent
ly with the problem. Abuses are
no more prevalent I'm the railroad busi-
ness today than in any other business
humanely conducted. The great ques-
ton now Is whether the existing sys-
tenn of regulation gives the public re-
liable assurance OF sufficient present
and future railroad facilities.
Those who oppose any change must
make their appeal on the ground that
the present systems assure the public
Of the continued adequacy OF trans
portation facilities. If they do not, no
argument based on the desirability of
the present dual system of regulation
will be accepted by public judgment
The question of states rights is not
involved. If the regulation of transpor-
tation facilities privately owned should
fail government ownership must fol-
low, and then all power of the states
over the railroads would disappear.
LET us debate this question, then,
not upon any mere theory or jealousy
as to the distribution of governmental
power but upon the large issue of
what the public interest requires In
respect Of the assurance Of adequate
transportation service"

fat may be scorched and thus changed in
composition. Scorched fat is almost GER
tain to be hurtful to children
Meat is best given as broied chop meat
or in simple meat stews combined with
vegetables. Poultry may be boiled and
served with rice. When roasted, only the
tender portions should be fed. Highly
seasoned stuffing or rich gravy should
not be given to a young child.
Dried and other fish, and oysters, may
be used in milk stews. Well-boiled fish
Is good for variety. Eggs must not be
overlooked or they are likely to cause
indigestion. The best way to cook eggs
is to poach or coddle them. Scrambled
eggs may be served occasionally. provid-

matters, and also mild acids. Vegetables
are an important but often a neglected

Fruits are important for their flavorng,
for their laxative effects and doubtless
for other reasons, and should he served

the safest. Tho child should not be al
