The railroads of the country con-
tinue to show material increases in
their net revenue, as compared with
one year ago. The report for the
nine months ended September 80 from
operations of the leading roads indi-
Gates that the net sum which the gov
eminent will receive for the nine
months is s51s, $4,000. In conse-
quence of the improved situation this
year, prospective loss to the govern
ment has been reduced to about $780,
100000 for the nine months period
ending October / from approximately
$500. 100000, the threatened loss sew
eral months ago. Railroad admins
tration officials predict that by the
end of the year the governments loss
will be reduced to less than 100000
900, and this will be recouped later in
the increased earnings from higher
rates continuing to pour in.

that it is generally inherited from the
boys parents.
These are just the things which this
study of juvenile delinquency seems to
indicate.
Little Robert Field and the rest of
them never got any better SO far as
the records show. And the records
also show drunkenness. crime. insan-
ity or feeble-mindedness in the par
ents of almost every one of these de-
linquent children.
They inherited their criminal ten
denotes from their parents. 1t logical
ly follows that their children will in
them.
In a word we are breeding crimi-
nails at a rapid rate in this country.
For, while we confine criminals and
delinquents for various periods, We
always turn them loose again, and we
never do anything to prevent them
from having children.
BY the year 1850. unless something
is done about it, little Robert Field,
who stole jackknives. will have a
whole crowd of children and grand
children And it is safe to say that a
large percentage of these descendants
likewise get drunk and very likely
commit murder.
But if the United States adopts the
civilized, scientific method of handling
the defective part of it's population,
the children of Robert Field will be
identified as detectives when they are
in school,. They will then be placed
in a separate colony where they can
earn their livings and lead normal
lives, but where they cannot commit
crimes and, above all, where they can
not breed other criminals.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
II years old. work and earn my own
living. l also help about the house. 1
am going with my brothers girls
brother. He works the same place as
him unless my brother and his sister
are with us. 1 have been to his house
many times and have met his mother.
My mother wants me to go with him.
but father objects. My father often
says hard things toward me which
nearly break my heart. He gives hints
that l am not wanted at home and he
won't let me go to live with my mar
ried brother. What shall 1 do? DO
you think he can make me give up this
boy? BLUE EYES.
Ignore the unkind remarks your
father makes and live at home for
your mothers sake. He does not mean
what he says or he would let you go
to live with your brother. Try not
to dispiease him and let him have his
own way as many times as you can.
He cannot make you give up the
boy. But you should be very careful
not to talk about your ENGAGEMENTS
with him to your father. Since you
have your mothers sanction in what
you are doing. it will not be dece;tful
to remain silent in that respect to your
father.
Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 would like
to send a Christmas letter to all the
soldier boys whom 1 know in France
Several of the boys are close friends.
but two of them are just classmates
Do you think they would consider it
strange il they received a letter.
MARGARET
You can write letters which will
please the boys and yet not give the
impression that you are deeply inter-
ested in them. without a doubt they
will be very glad to receive greetings
from a friend at home.

One by one restrictions upon bust
ness which were imposed by the war
are being removed and the country is
approaching normal conditions. One
OF the latest burdens to be lifted is
that of the half cent a mile charge on
Pullman tickets. What this country
needs now is opportunity. The ma
chinery of American industry is ready
to go ahead at full speed whenever
the government will permit it to do so.
American builders need structural
workers, factories need operatives,
farmers will need help and must have
early assurance that the help will be
available. Business men need clerks,
stenographers and accountants. All
kinds of enterprise need capital. Ey-
erybody needs opportunity and when
that is granted the nation will enter
at once upon the greatest forward
movement in its history. If official
dom will release its grasp upon labor,
capital and enterprise. the initiative,
energy and intelligence of the country
will do the rest

Van S. Tracy of John Burnham &
Co., director of several sugar cor
porations. is quoted by Investment
News as follows: 1.-The present
shortage of sugar in the United States
is to large extent artificial. So far
this season about 100000 bags of
Beet sugar have been manufactured
and only about 100000 bags have
been sold. The balance is held in
storage. AS the sugar companies are
anxious to sell the sugar and the pub
lie is anxious to buy it, it is very diff
ficult to understand why the food ad-

EVENING STORY
Enoch's Thanksgiving.
BY S. B. HACKLEY.

Old Paulina Dotson stood beside the
spring yelling out from between two
boulders in her yard at the foot of Big
Laurel mountain, and sighed lugubri-
ously.
"David's a goin'-a goin' soon!"
''Where's Davy goin %

visaged old man sitting near the
spring, mending a bride.
The blooming young girl, looking
over the low stone fence, Redeemed at
this covert thrust.
"Davy's goin' to take his 5000 rail-
road tie money and go to the preacher
college after Thanksgivin'. I thought
he was goin' to marry on it, but he
says he amt" went on Pauliny.
"Oh. Pauliny, I wasn't meant for
David" Abigail raised propitiating
eyes to the old woman's censuring
ones, then they deepened and dark
ened solemnly. Folks has got a heap
to think about besides marryin' these
stirrin' times, Pauliny.''
David knows that" his grand
mother drawled defensively; 'a-bein'

When the girl was gone the bridle-

"Abby's honester than you, Cleophas.
You are a-holdin' spite foolishly.
Abby's got her woman's right to prefer
Enoch Dawn to our Davy"
Abby, walking with light swiftness
! thru the reddening woods, stopped
when she came to a dead poplar that,
destitute of limbs and punctured by
woodpeckers and ants, hung over the
path.
I'm goin' to axe that poplar!" A
cheerful voice sounded behind her
and a sunburned young man lifted her
aside out of the way of the leaning

The congress elected in Novembe

The congress elected in November
will not convene, in the regular course
of events, until December, 1919. If
the president see fit. he can call a
special session, which he probably will
not do unless urgent need compel.
Congress should pass the bill to re-
quire the holding of three regular ses-
sions of each congress, the first one
in March following the election.
When the people vote for a change
they should get it without waiting a
whole year.

walked along. 81 don't want to go
there, Enoch."
Pauline ran out to meet them. her
eyes wide with excitement. "David's
moneys gone! Stolen!"
Enoch felt Abby's fingers sink into
the flesh of his arm. Then David
came out, corroborating his mothers
story.
"And nobody knew kept the mon
ey in the 1oft!" he observed mourn
fully.
"only Abby!" old Cleophas NUT
tered "Pauliny told her but jest yes
terday."
Here's the ladder settin' outside
the window just like it's been all sum-
mer." David went on.
Yes, and them that climbed that
ladder and stole that hard-earned
money ought to be made to suffer, be
it man or woman Cleophas re-
marked, and Enoch felt that he knew
what was in his suspicious old brain.
Then, in the grass at the foot of the
ladder, his troubled eyes fell on Abby S
brooch. When his heart began to beat
again, he set a cautious foot over the
pin, and. unobserved, stopped and
transferred the trinKet to his pocket.
81 wish l could know where my pin
Isl" she murmured on their way home.
Enoch's hand, pressing his breast
pocket, felt the uncomfortable rough
ness of the brooch within, but he
grew cold at the thought of restoring
it to her. Had Abby been tempted
to take David's money? He recalled
that she had been unaccountably dis
turbed and troubled over the trivial
loss of the brooch. and she had not
wanted to go in the direction of
Pauliny's to look for it.
Enoch knew that, once he were
gone, leaving Abby with no men folk
to defen l her, old C1eophas would not
hesitate TO accuse her. But if he
stayed. the cowardly old man would
not make trouble. Could he stop his
behind with Abby?
For three weeks Enoch worked and
suffered. Two days before Thanksgiv-
ing day, the day he had set to pres=-t
himself for enlistment, he met Bate
Owens, a neighbor lad.
"Clecphas says he believes he knows
who gor Davy's $780," he remarked,
and @ind and weather permittin,
he's goin' uptown Saturday and notify
the sheriff. Who do you reckon
the old cuss has fastened it on,
Enoch?"
Enoch shook his head, but when
Bate left him. he sank on the fallen
leaves and raised beseeching eyes to
the November sky.

poplar. scolded fiercely as crow
lighted on the top. Enoch rose wear

quested Abby. I'm goin to cut the
old poplar 1 was about to forget it,
and I'm goin' day after tomorrow-at
least 1 ought to. Stand out of the
way now"
Presently Enoch. examining the
fallen trees top, gave a joyous cry.
On the ground lay some red string. a
door key. a safetypin, and Paulina
Dotson's little red and yellow beaded
pouch.
Enoch opened the bag and took out
David's four fifty dollar bills. Il saw
