LOADING CARS

Federal control Of the railroads is
resulting in the introduction of many
efficiency principles which railroad
men probably understood we'll
enough, but were unable to apply.
under the old regime. The standard
ization Of cars is case in point.
With that on the way to accomplish
ment. the administration is giving
its attention to another important
matter. car-loading.
The possibilities along this line
may be imagined from set of esti-
mates regarding the transportation
OF fertilizers. Last year the aver
age quantity hauled in car was 90
tons. and the average length of the
haul was 127 miles. Inasmuch as
the total output OF commercial fer
tilizer was 100000 tons. 1t appears
that on this basis its Transportation
required 100000 cars. travelling 4O.-
$4,000 car miles.
Now. It happens that the capacity
Of an average car is not 20 tons, but
80 tons. That Is to say. those fer
tilizer cars were not half filled. Sup
pose they had carried 80 tons apiece.
Then there would have been a saving
Of so per cent in cars and haulage.
II the cars had all been full. there
would apparently have been saving
Of $4,000 freight cars and 24,3s4,-
900 car miles, eliminating the car
famine and making an immense saw
ing in fuel, terminal space, etc.
It is not to be expected that cars
can be uniformly filled to capacity
with any kind Of freight. but the
railroad administration is working
toward that end and anticipates
big saving. The fertilizer problem
IL mostly a question Of intelligent
understanding and forethought on
the part Of manufacturers. dealers,
retailer merchants and farmers. All
are asked to cooperate, with view
to combining orders in sufficient
quantity to guarantee maximum
carload.
A systematic effort to apply this
principle uniformly to bulky freight
in general would go far toward solv-
ing both our transportation and fuel
problems.

MORE SOCKS NEEDED

The country is very proud Of the
increase in the size of its army. and
especially Of the number Of men sent
overseas. The country knows that
the end Of the war now depends up
on the number of our troops in the
field.
Do the women realize that more
troops mean ever so many more
socks? Many pairs of socks should
be finished for every sweater, be-
cause the sweaters wear longer.
Sweaters are needed, and helmets as
the winter approaches. and wristiets.
too, but socks are needed most OF all
and in enormous quantities.
Most Of the women knitting are
knitting for the army. But here and
