CLOSE MARGIN or PROFIT
INOpERATION OF RAILWAY
Large Amount OF Capital Risked For
Very Small Returns
OF VITAL INTEREST TOPUBLIC
Investors viii Not Provide Money fol
Improvements Unless They Are
Assured Reasonable Profit
on Their Investment

Atlanta, Ga-(Special) 1.-The close
margin OF profit for railroad under
present conditions is strikingly shown
by figures submitted by President Har-
rison in the annual report Of South
ern Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June Both, 1916. In the
most prosperous year of the Compa-
ny's history the net operating income
1921, 004, 005.09) represented only SD
per cent on the investment ($395,72
785.06) in the railroad and equipment
which produced it.
1T may perhaps be said," said Mr..
Harrison, that there is no industry ex-
cept railroad in which so large a
capital is risked for such return in
its most successful year"
At a time when the newspapers dali
ly are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating a rising tide of general
prosperity, it is well to bear in mind
the very small return on money in
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are msled into believ-
ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mere size of the fig
ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but it should
be remembered that an enormous sum
money was required to construct
I'D equip their plants and that the
3turn on each dollar invested is rela-
vely small.
1t is manifestly in the interest of
he employees of a railroad and of
ne public served that the railroad
ecure new capital for additions and
improvements to its plant so that it
may give better service and offer en-
arged employment However, this
can be accomplished only by allowing
The railroad to earn an amount on
he capital already invested sufficient
20 promise return ON the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depress
rates and enact restrictive legislation
which will deprive the man who has
already invested in railroads of a fair
return on his investment, but no plan
has been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put il
into railroad construction or improve
ment. Unless the investment appears
attractive to him and offers a fail
return he will put his money in some
enterprise that cannot be affected b,
governmental agencies.
Every employee of the Southern
Railway and every shipper served b,
, 1t who recognizes his true interest will
| do what he can to insure such a re
turn on the capital now invested il
the Southern Railway as will make tn,
securities of the Company more al
tractive to investors, so the Company
will be able to secure the additiona
capital needed to carry on a consist
emily constructive program which will
mean increased prosperity for ever,
interest in the territory served by it.

PAID HIGH MONEY FOR STEAK
First That Was Brought to Circle City
Caused Keen Competition Among
the Miners.

Probably the highest price ever paid
for a beefsteak was that charged at
Circle City, Alaska. The first steak
that ever reached that town is said
to have sold for something like $4S a
pound. There We're Ter pounds of this
steak, which was shipped $50 miles to
Circle City. When the owner Of the
precious bit of meat reached the camp
the miners turned out in a body to see
it. 1t was placed on exhibition, and
attracted us much attention as If it
were the rarest of gems. Everybody
wanted a piece of it, and the prices
offered were such as would have re-
suited in a mining-camp quarrel if it
had not been for the discretion of the
owner, who decided to rattle the steak
off for the benefit of a hospital that
Bishop Rowe vas trying to establish
for the miners at Circle City.
Bids were started at IS a pound and
rose briskly to $50. Finally, in order
to avoid complications, it was deter
mined to sell tickets at prices from so
cents to $3.50 for the privilege Of draw
ing for a slice. After $3.50 worth of
tickets had been sold. the drawing be-
gan, and, to the relief Of those In
charge of the sale, no trouble resulted.

Danger in Handling Gasoline.

The publication of the National
Safety Council, in a recent issue, gives
some instructions to those who are
making use of gasoline, which, it says
should be kept and used only in small
quantities, and used only by expert
enced employees who realize the dam
ger in using this volatile fluid and
know how to handle it safely. Gaso-
line should be handled in small safety
cans, equipped with safety gauze and
safety stopper. Gasoline is exceeding
~ volatile and will vaporize when ex-
posed to the air at any temperature
down to Is below zero. This
Is nearly three times as heavy as
air, and when mixed with the
proper quantity of air becomes
violently explosive. The vapor will ig-
mite from any open flame, even from a
spark of static electricity from
a human body, a spark from an
emery wheel, or from a sufficiently
heated surface. The gasoline vapor,
being heavier than air, will natu-
rally seek a.lower level, and if confined
where there is poor ventilation, will
sometimes remain in an explosive con-
dition for months.

No Worry: No WEIGHT.

Jim" Rice, popular coach of the
Columbia university crews, has a new
recipe for keeping thin. Rice had
been putting on too much weight to be
comfortable for the last few years.
Recently an old friend met him at a
football game.
You're looking ten years younger
and 20 pounds lighter" said the friend.
i've taken off Is pounds" said Rice,
"and I'm as hard as nails. Never felt
better"
"How did you get your weight off?
he was asked.

I've made up my mind that if | can't
win races without worryin' l can't win
with it. So l quit and took on a little
exercise, rowing at Saratoga last sum-.
mer, and off comes the weight. It's
partly the exercise, but mostly the lack
of worry"

Novel Methods of Warfare,

In ancient history there are two we'll
authenticated instances Of wild ami,
mails being used by attacking armies.
The first is related by Appian when
describing the siege Of Themiseyra, in
Pontus, by Lucullus in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets were brought up,
mounds We're built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The peo.
pie of Themiseyra dug open these
mines from above and through the
holes cast down upon the workmen
bears and other wild animals, togeth-
er with swarm of bees. The second
instance occurred in England when
the Danes and Norwegians were at
lacking Chester, held by the Saxons
and some Gallo auxiliaries. ATTIC.

Goinu Without Food.

Science says that if he can get drink
ing water an ordinary man can exist
for about thirty days without food. AT
the end Of that time the machinery of
the body will not be ruined and can be
entirely strengthened back to it's old
standard by careful feeding. About
onc-quarter Of our body weight is fat,
and it is mostly this fat which is alb.
sorbed as food during the period of
starvation. We can absorb and burn
up u muscles until 60 per cent of
their weight has gone. We can do the
same with from 30 to 40 per cent of
our liver and digestive organs and 20
per cent Of u lungs. Our hearts can
lose 10 per cent, and our brains and
nervous system can lose 5 per cent. 1t
will thus be see that the more vital
organs, brain and heart, yield least Of
their valuable substance for the life of
the body, while the less valuable sub
stances-fat, muscles, and so on-are
consumed trst.-New York American.

HUMAN. NATURE NOT CHANGED
Incident Of Ethiopian History That
Bears Some Testimony as to
the Matter.

Itlanersa was a pious king of ETH.
opia. He built a temple to the glory
of Anon of Napata under the overhans
of a great cliff. 1t was scarcely more
than dedicated before the shelf of the
cliff fell. Itlanersa lost interest IN that
particular god.
But the piety of his successor, Sen.
ka -amon-seken was of more tenacious
fiber. He rebuilt the broken walls,
cleared away the dust and stones and
put his name on the foundation rocks
beside that of Itlanersa. He was, how.
ever, no better Judge of the behavior
of cliffs. New flakes fell off and put
the temple out of business. Not until
four centuries later did Il king rise in
Ethiopia who thought enough of Anon
of Napata to restore the sanctuary, and
then he did a halfway job. The
Egyptian expedition of Harvard uni.
versity found that out when 1t was
prowling through the temple. Back of
the stones were affairs and statues
just as Senka-amon-seken had caused
them to be replaced and the unviolated
names of the founder and first restOrer.
We have recited this tale because, If
it were changed a little, it might be
a story of our W times. Men still
build with love in their hearts, but
give up when accident happens. There
is still unwisdOm in the consideration
of the chances of disaster. Folks are
content tO clear AWAY n little duSt md
let the most of it stay. The kingdom
of Ethiopia has faded from the earth,
but human nature has so little altered
that Itlanersa and Senka-amOn-seken
and the unknown ruler of four cen.
turtles later might be born again and
have the company Of their exact likes.
