the number of freight cars in service,
ti3ere was over 16 per cent more
freight handled in May, 1917, than in
May, 1916
This result was possible only thru
the methods instituted by the Rail
roads War oBard to increase the eff
cheney OF the roads. with the coopera-
ton OF shippers and receivers of
freight and the public generally.
Last May railroad locomotives ran
an average of 713 miles a day, and
freight cars 296 miles a day, while in
the same month OF alst year locomo-
tivcs averaged $50 miles and freight
cars 2s.3 miles day. The increase
in mileage per day was per cent,
aid there was an increase of 95 per
cent in the mileage of cars moving
under load.
The number OF freight cars in the
shop or awaiting repairs in May, 1917
was 104.o61 against 113,1I7 cars in
May. 1916.
Letters received from the Public
Service Commissions in all parts of
the country indicate that a most en-
couraging response is being made to
the recent plea OF the Railroads War
Board urging on the part of the pub
Tic authorities cooperation with the
railroads In a suspension, during the
period OF the war. OF all efforts net
designed to help directly in winning
the war.
The present emergency has imposed
upon the railroads very unusual
strain in transportation men. food.

cheerfully undertaken. requires every
ounce of energy every unit of rolling
stock. every dollar OF capital, every
bit of supplies and coal which the

The frs tstep inrthfs program is the
designation of Tuesday of each week
as a '.beeffess'' day, next Tuesday be-
ing the first of these days. 1t was
also decided that in addition to sub
stitutinE other breads for wheat bread
on. certain days an assortment would
be served at all. times thus giving
guests opportunity to Gu tdown the
consumption of wheat bread. 1t was
p6fnted out that pork, consumption
should be limited in order to save
fats and II is, possible that this may
be added to the. list Of articles tabooed
The clubs and restaurants will be
asked to assist In this campaign and
to limit their menus as far as pos
sible to conform to the program which
the hotels have worked out in coop
