TREMENDOUS PROFIT IN SHORT
HAUL

fAOI0,
The cost OF operating each car per
mile is admitted by the Interboro to
be not quite 10 cents. or .o99i. to be
fair to the company.
The revenue per car per mile is es-
thnated at a little over 25 cents. or
.2539. There's $50 per cent. profit
right there for the aims begging In
terboro.
But the most interesting chapter
In this simple tale of gold mines
output is yet to come. As even the
most modest, unthinking straphanger
| probably knows, railway experts fig
ure profits on the number of short
hauls. In other words, the greater
the number OF passengers that travel
a short distance and get off and make
room for others TO take their places
the more money a train will make on
its way from Flpbush Avenue 70
/ the Bronx. or vice versa.
| The Interboro has learned. much 10
It's satisfaction, that the average
length OF rides taken by it's many
millions OF subway passengers is j.7i
miles.
This means that the average sub
way passenger was transported to
! his destination at an actual cost to
the lntcrboro Rapid Transit Company
OF little less than . cents.
Hundreds OF thousands daily
I ride less than a mile on the sub.
ways. Every time a passenger
rides a mile and no more and pays
a nickel the lnterboro's profit is
enormous. II costs the lnterboro
Just .o022 to carry you a milo, SO
ii receives nearly 500 per cent
profit.
il costs tho Interboro less than
a cent, it's report further shows,
to carry passengers from tho
Brooklyn Bridge 10 Grand Central
Station, a distance Of about three
miles. The actual figure is .0096.
On this basis, every time you pay
a nickel for a subway ride be-
tween the Grand Central, 4 cents
and a fraction Of il is clean profit
for the concern that can afford
to pay 500 900 bonuses to men
whose salaries are around that
figure.
BANKERS BEHIND THE 7-CENT
FARE PLAN.
The Evening World prints the fore
going figures because the Intcrboro
and the great financial interests back

enactment OF tho Martin bill into a

raise 100000 for the endowment OF

approximately $4,000 bonded indebt-
edness remaining from the time Of the
building, was launched at the session
of the Grand Lodge Of the Knights Of
Pythias, meeting at the Home yes
terday. More than $4,000 was sub
scribed by those present, in few min
utes. The remainder of the amount
will be subscribed by the subordinate
lodges of the state before the 1920
meeting, 1t Is thought.
The Grand Lodge approved the
amendment to the constitution of the
national order, which provides for the
initiation Of men who are eighteen or
more years old. II majority of the
grand lodges Of the country approve
the amendment, it will 60 into effect
even before the national order meets.
In making the provision for the admis-
sion of the younger men, the Pythians
decided that If youths Of eighteen are
old enough to fight for their country,
they are old enough to be Knights Of
Pythias.

SUBURBAN HOME
PURCHASED TODAY
BY Mike brown

tiful HOefllch Home In East Sec.
ond Street This Morning.

made In Maysville recently was con-
sumated this morning when Mr.. Sher-
man Arm, local real estate man, sold

located on one and half acres OF land
in one of the most select sections OF
the city. The building is complete
and up-todate in every respect. 1t
Is large and spacious and is equipped
with every modern convenience con-
ceivable for the comfort Of its occu-
pants.
Mr.. Brown takes immediate posses
sion and he contemplates exr
terror and interior improvements
which will make this probably the
most handsome home in the city.
Among other improvements contemp-
lated, Mr.. Brown proposes to raise the
building about five feet and he will
also paint it and paper 1t throughout.
In selecting this home as his life's
home Mr.. Brown has again displayed
the keen business sense and fine judg-
ment that has marked his career in
Maysville, his home since boyhood.
Few Maysville men have leaped to the
front In business and social life as has
Mr.. Brown. Starting in life with moth
ing but a future before him, he has
through shrewd business ability and
q cleverness seldom seen in individ-
uals, become one Of the best business
men in North Eastern Kentucky.
His many friends congratulate him
upon this purchase and all feel certain
that upon his completion Of contemp-
lated improvements he will have one
Of the best homes in the state.

A LEOPARD CANNOT
CHANGE ITS SPOTS
Mr. Dodson, the "Liver Tone"
Man, Tells the Treachery
of CalomeL

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomcl is. It's m ercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
Rcraahes into sour bile &like dynamitu,
cramping and sickeningR you. Calpmel
ATTACKS the bones and ahould psTer be
put into your system. ~
When you feel biliouA >sf1ggsh, con-
astipated and all knocked out am believe
you need a dose of dangerouA calomel
Just remember that your druggist sells
FOR few cents large bottle Of Dodson's
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is perfect
substitute for calomel. 1t is guaranteed
fto start your liver without stirring YOU
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harmless
sand doesn't gripe.
