More Business Than New England Can
Handle

If fire department could declare an
effective embargo or prohibition on fires
whenever it had too many TO handle, the
public would welcome such remdial ac-
ton but lament the cause which led to
/ it. The situation, anent the embargo
which President Elliott says the New
| Haven road may be forced to lay on
certain classes of freight, is exactly re-
versed. However, shippers may regret
a temporary suspension of service, all
New England must be greatly pleased
over the primary cause that has led To
the present congestion namely, the
vast volume of business now moving
over the New Haven road. 1t is one
of the most positive signs yet given OF
the returned, not the returning, prosper
ity of these states and of the country
at large On the New Ravens tracks
to-day there are 10000 loaded cars, 5000
more than there were at this time last
year, with another 5000 waiting for
delivery TO the New Haven from. con-
Meeting lines. During the first eight
days OF December cars were loaded local
" and received from other lines in the
following numbers for each of the three
years indicated: 1918, 44,l93; 1914, 81
74s; 1915, 50,677.
These figures have not only relative
value, to show how much larger the
freight business has been this year than
it was in 1913 and 1914, but also an abb
solute value, to impress by their very
size a clear idea ofe the vast and in
creasing extent of freight movements
in New England to-day. The current
December freight business on the New
Haven exceeds even the traffic over that
busiest middle western Esiiroads, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. As Presi-
dent Elliott's letter shows, the c. y. & |
O., having 1850 miles of track, carried |
1920 cars during this single week of |
December when the New Haven. with |
only 4535 miles of track, carried 50,677 |
1t has often been said OF the Burlington |
route that il is one of those rare lines
Of railroad which not only taps a good
at its terminal points, but which
also runs through good country to get
TO it. How we'll the New Haven dupli-
,ates these favorable conditions is now
becoming more and more patent.
With such potentialities of business,
lnder the increasing stimulus of greater
the New Haven road must
20 act, and so be permitted to act,
hat its equipment and service may in
he future be adequate to meet all de-
hands put upon it. According to Pres
dent Elliott's explanation of the pres
mt temporary congestion as valid, New
england still cannot reconcile itself to
'eing ba ed of business, when business
ffers, merely because it cannot get cars .
o transport its goods. The company
avs it has already improved the serv-
,eableness of its existing freight cars. !
nd has thirty-three new heavy locomo-
ives and 500 cars on the way to de-

KAIsER's CANCER SYMPTOMS.
Alarming Eruptions of the Skin Reported
from Berlin.

Rome, Jan. 4--News from Berlin has
become known here that the German
emperor is not suffering from malig-
nant carbuncle but from alarming erup-
ton Of the skin, which, it is feared, is
symptomatic of cancer, since the lips
are particularly affected and the sur
rounding tissues of the mouth and throat
are becoming involved.
The court physicians disagree both
as to the diagnosis and treatment. A
surgical operation has not yet been de-
cided on, but lest the removal of the
affected parts should become imperative
an artificial palate is held in readiness.

Black Lingerie.

While the black corsets are not so
unusual as to cause one to exclaim the
fact, there is demand for whole sets of
lingerie in black that is astonishing.
1t is said that everything in the lin
gerie line can be now had in this somber
hue, and when it is considered that many
of the modern frocks are of transparent
material, it seems reasonable, at least,
that the brassiere and the corset, too, for
that matter, should be fashioned of black
material, but it does seem to be stretch
ing the point bit too far when all the
lingerie from the nightgown on up is
black.
1t is said that a prominent American
who lost her husband about a year ago
has never since worn bit of anything
but black.

ALASKA'S FERTILE LANDS.
Facts About Our Vast and Little Un-
derstood Territory.

Facts About Our Vast and Little Un-
derstood Territory.
Alaska is the most misunderstood
ell States. People generally. and sin
cerely. believe that the name Alaska is
synonymous with snow and ice and
couple it accordingly with ice cream
freezers and cold drinks. Yet the prin-
cipal cities of Alaska along its south
ern coast line-Juneau, Ketchikan, Cor
dova, Valdez and Seward-do not av-
erage as cold in midwinter as New
York and are seldom as cold as Balti-
more and Washington during cold
waves.
Alaska is one-fifth the size of the
whole United States, and its prodigious
area of about 100000 square miles.
nearly three times the size of the Ger
man empire, spreads from the temper
ate zone to the arctic circle. Not one
quarter of it is in the latter. Below
the circle lies "a magnificent belt OF
fertile soil.
1t is estimated by government au-
thorities that the agricultural area of
Alaska's fertile valleys and plains, on
many of which cattle can be wintered
without feeding, aggregate 10000
square miles, with a climate like that
of northern Europe-Norway, Finland
and Sweden. This land is richer and
more productive than that of any 9th
er country in the world, well watered
fairly well timbered, and 800 acres are
open free to the settler if he wishes to
take up homestead.-John A. SLEIGH

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen
and then the hair comes out fast. To
stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp
of every particle of dandruff, get a 25-
cent bottle of Danderine at any drug
store, pour a little in your hand and rub
well into the scalp. After few applica-
tons, all dandruff disappears, and the
hair stops coming out.-Adv,
