Conditions Now Making for Improved Gar Service 1. Snow and Ice gone. Cars can make better time. Danger of derailmentr, collisions and equipment breakdoWns minimized.
 ?. Influenza is abating Our shop organization is now practically back to it's normal nu- merical strength, and can concentrate in putting cars in good operating condition. During the recent severe weather much of the depleted force was diverted from the shops to emergency work on cars actually in service
 3. Materials and supply parts now obtainable more promptly and in greater quantities. While the war boards priority orders were in eff feet, we were virtually excluded from most of the materials needed to maintain our equipment, as they were the very materials most vital to carrying on the war.
 We were prompt in taking advantage of the relaxation of these priority orders following the signing of the Armistice, and but for the intervention of the epidemic of Influ- enza and the emergencies due to the bad weather, our service would already have been materially improved.
 These adverse conditions happily things of the past; and, unless circumstances beyond our control should arise we will be able to add daily to the number Of in operation, and gradually and steadily raise the standard of our service.

BIG APPETITE FOR
SAFE INVESTMENTS
Between Twenty and Twenty
Five Million Bond Buyers
Take Billions IN Short Pc
RODS.

Pessimists who shake their heads
and join the chorus of 81 dunno" boys
at the prospect OF floating a fifth Lib
erty Loan in April are administered a
knock-out by figures which have re-
Gently been compiled by officials Of
the Treasury Department at Wash
nEton.
The figures give an idea OF just
how big All appetite for safe investment
this country has attained in its war
year. Some OF the more striking Of
the figures referred to follow:
bond market which had less than
100000 customers two years ago had
at the close OF 1918 between 20.000,-
900 and 25000.OO0 buyers. The army
Of buyers absorbed $11,156.565.S $50
worth of bonds in Liberty Bonds alone
In 1918.
In the two years Of the war-count-
Ing the first and second Liberty
Loans which were foated in .19l7--
$16.974.329,S50 in Liberty bonds.
This healthy condition Of the bond
market is explained. perhaps. by the
TACT that the entire Indebtedness of
the United States today amounts to
slightly less than 7 per cent Of tho
estimated national wealth. The ma.
tional debt amounts to only about
$40 per capita.
Some OF the national debts are:
Great Britain. 44.3 per cent cent. OF
national wealth or $3.50 per capita
France. II 25 per cent Of national
wealth or $99G 90 per capita; Austria,
81 &C per cent Of national wealth or
S242.90 per capita :and Germany. 3S7
per cent OF national wealth or $506. 90
per capita.
These figures on Germany are ex-
elusive Of the ninth war loan. accu-
rate returns OF which never were had,
and in the cases OF both Austria and
Germany no account is taken OF any
indemnities which those nations will
have to pay.

Avoid Artificial liqht.

Victory windows are windows wide
open to the light. In the early autumn
their screens and awnings are re-
moved. When dusk creeps along in
the afternoons, their shades are drawn
to the very top. No heavy curtains
hang in them, for these absorb the
rays. They are very clean. SO much
light comes into these windows uT,l 1t
goes so far into the corners and lin
gers 30 late, that gas and electricity
are not needed within so long as there
Is a little brightness without. When
artificial light is saved the coal Is
saved with which IT Is manufactured.

Foch Was Nearly Killed.

Although 1t Is not generally known,
Foch had very narrow escape from
being killed In May, 1916.
The marshal then commanded the
army of the north, and while riding
in molorcar with his son-inlaw, Cap
tain Fournier, the car dashed into q
tree between Dummartin and st. Scum
plets. Foch was severely hurt In the
head. His Son-in-luw was still more
seriously injured. Both Of them were
taken To the American hospital at
Juilly, and nfterwurd to MeMuN, where
they remained for several weeks.
The accident took place during the
dark days Of the second battle Of Yer
dun, and the censor forbade all refer
ence 10 the matter at that time.
