The average price Of a group of
fifteen standard railroad stocks,
used in computing The Tribune's
market averages, is now more than
25 points below the high level of
1913, Is points below the top of
1914, IL points below the peak of
1915, 10 points below the 1916 high
and almost as much below the high
level of the current year. 1t is
nearly down to the 1914 panic level.
Yet gross earnings are continually
expanding, and net revenues are the
largest ever reported, taking the
country as a whole. Even in the
Eastern district, where the railroads
have been granted an increase which
it is estimated will yield an addi-
tional profit of S1OO,OOO,0OO a year,
net is running we'll above all previ-
Gus records, save those established
in 1916. Moreover, the tendency is,
as has already been pointed out in
these columns, decidedly toward fur
ther improvement. That is made
clear by examination of the monthly
returns to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which are given by dis
tricts in the table below. The fig
ures represent the net operating
revenues of all large roads in the
country, except those for the month
of May, which do not include the

Wall Street Not Affected

Announcement that the embargo
against export shipments had become
effective was without apparent effect
in Wall Street. Stock prices declined
sharply during the day. United State
Steel common, for example, showing
an extreme loss of 4 points. but that
was attributed 10 other factors, prin-
cipally the governments price fixing
programme.
Inquiry among the munition manu-
featuring corporations indicated that
the operation Of the embargo would not
cause any serious difficulty. At the
Office of the Du Pont Powder Company
It was stated that applications for Ii
cences for export had already been sent
TO Washington, and We're coming back
promptly, so that exports of munitions
will not be delayed.
British o. h. Necessary
1t was learned that in addition H.
obtaining the O. X. of the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, il
was still necessary for exporters of
goods affected by the embargo to ge.
the permission Of the British trade au-
thorities. Il is stated that in time it
is possible that arrangements may be
made whereby the necessity of obtain
ing the British O. X. will be eliminated.
Until the embargo went into effect
all exports Of munitions TO South
American countries have had 20 re-
ceive the wise Of the Department OF
Justice at Washington. This is no
longer necessary, hte depadtment hav-
ing delegated the authority 10 the Com

Order VIII Be Obeyed,
Say Local Managers

Railroad managers here said that
the purpose of placing the embargo is
TO avoid acceptance of freight which
could cause congestion at seaboard
points through being left in the hands
of the railroads under the terms of
President Wilson's proclamation.
The announcement was taken as
matter OF fact.
L. E. Loomis, president of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, said:
"I'm a good soldier. Orders will be
obcyed.'
it IS not anticipated that shippers
will have any difficulty in obtaining
licenses except in the case OF goods
consigned 70 neutral countries.

Shipper Must Get License

p. J. Flynn. vice-president in charge
of traffic of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western, said that the responsible
ity in obtaining the licenses rests IN
tirely with the shipper. He does not
anticipate any great slowing up of
railroad traffic as result OF the et-
forts OF the Administration to prevent
exports from reaching the Central
Powers via neutral countries.
The oniy question that appears to
be unsettled at the moment" added Mr.
Flynn. "i5 what is 10 D. done with the
freight that is already at the various
Atlantic ports marked for export aal
the export freight that was in transit
vixen The embargo order went into ef
feet. The assumption is, however, that
this freight will be held up pending
the issuing of the licenses that will be
attached to the bill OF lading.
II do not believe that this will re-
suit in any great congestion at the
importanr seabotrd centres, as the rail
roads have been handling shipments
destined for European countries in An
expeditions manner. Every effort has
been made TO comply with the Presi
dents wishes in the matter of export
freight. but in this connection il IS
well 10 remember that the railroads
have no responsibility as 10 the point
of destination. This lies with the
owner of the freight and the steamship

DOCTOR BIRDS.

"A little boy named Peter" said
Daddy. had been very Ill. His mother
and daddy had been so worried about
him that they had decided he needed
q change of air. So his mother had
taken him down South, far, far from
his home.
"AH Peter could do was to lie In the
warm sunshine and think. Sometimes
he would doze Off but his dreams
would be troubled and not SO very
pleasant because he was i'll and he
wasn't resting a good healthy rest.
"Poor Peter! How long the days
did seem sometimes. Often he would
ask his mother the time, and he would
be SO surprised to hear that the MORN
ing had not half gone. And often.
how he would long for school-in fact
every day he longed for it, and Satur-
day he wished for his playmntes and
the games they would have after the.
errands had been done.
"School would have been the most
glorious thing in the world compared
to being Ill, he had thought so often.
In fact he thought so most of the
time. He did not think he would ever
again mind doing his lessons, because
there was so much else that was
derful about school. There were all
his friends, all his playmates. What
good times they all had had.
"Peter would think Of the games
they would be playing at just such a
time-and oh how much longer the
afternoons seemed than the mornings.
"And when he would raise his legs
and try to imagine he was back with
the boys, ready for races, sports and
FRANKS. But his legs felt so weak!
His head got SO tired. How wretched
1t was to be i'll.
1.-THE doctor had told his mother
that half the reason he took SO long
to get well was because he was so ur.
happy.
IF he could only get interested In
something said the doctor. He would
then get well twice as quickly. Doesn't
he like to read?
YES said his mother, but he is
lonely for his friends

F. E. Mccall, State college extension
specialist in horticulture. There
FORE" he says, everyone a afford
to urn his whole doorward into a gar
den. 1t is of the most imperative I'M
portance this year that everyone
plant, cultivate and harvest a garden
Of worth while crops.
1T is important that we plant varie-
ties of vegetables suitable for canning
and storing as well as for use during
the growing season.. If the soil Is
heavy and fertile, plant root crops,
such as potato, parsnip, carrot, salsi-
fy, onion, carrot, rutabaga, or turnip.
If it is light, plant beans, peas and
corn. Plant whatever is adapted to
the soil, but plant something that can
be used for food both in the fresh and
preserved condition"
The following is a record Of a rod
square garden.
