PARCEL POST URGED
AS AID TO RAILROADS
Greater Use Of Surfaced Roads
Would Increase Hauling Capac-
ity, Mr.. Miller Says.

Extension of the parcel post sys-
tenn in the rural districts and greater
use of surfaced roads throughout the
country as means of augmenting
the hauling capacity of the railroads
is one of the arguments put forward
by Francis r. Miller, chairman of the
division of public works of the De-
partment of Labor. in favor of the
$500. GOO, 600 ad-building program
proposed by the department for 1919
1t is felt by the department that
with freight congestion due to war
eXigencies probably to continue for
many months, greater use should be
made of the highways of the country,
particularly in short liauls. Previous
reports of the Department of the In
terror and the Post Office Department
have demonstrated the efficacy Of the
use of heavy trucks in releasing
freight cars by both short and long
hauling over paved reads, and during
the entire period of hostilities in
which the United States took part a
systematized campaign to save a
freight car for Uncle Sam was
pushed.
The cost of road building on which
the Hatioh Shouiu count during the
postwar period will approach or per-
haps even exceed $1,000, 000, 000," says
a report issued by the division
of public works. This will not be
built in one year. but d program of
expenditure of that amount might
perhaps do no more than to maintain
normal construction. plus the deferred
war construction, until the nations
highway facilities have reached nor
NAL"
The expenditure of a billion dollars
in highway construction and improve
ment would mean $509000,600 in
wages paid to labor, according. to the
department, which feels that public
works should be pushed now, for the
reason that labor is more likely to be
available than during the spring and
summer.

Ends Stubborn Coughs
in a Hurry
For real effectiveness, this old home
made remedy has no equal. Easily
and cheaply prepared.

You'll never know how quickly a
bad cough can be conquered until
you try this famous old homemade
remedy. Anyone who has coughed
all day and all night will say that
the immediate relief given is almost
like magic 1t is very easily pre-
pared, and really there is nothing
better for coughs.
Into pint bottle put ~. ounces
of Pinex; then add plain gran,i-
lated sugar syrup to make full
pint. Or you can use clarified mo-
lasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead
of sugar syrup. Either way, the full
pint saves about two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough
preparations, and gives you a more
positive, effective remedy. 1t keeps
perfectly and tastes pleasant-cl1ii-
dren like it.
Yon can feel this take hold In
stantly, soothing and healing the
membranes in all the air passages.
1t promptly Ioosens dry, tight
cough, and soon you will notice the
phlegn thin out and then disappear
altogether. A days Use will usually
break up an ordinary throat or
chest cold, and 1t is also splendid
for bronchitis, Group, whooping
cough, and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
trated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, the most reliable
remedy for throat and chest ail-
Inents.
To avoid disappointment, ask
your druggist for "zIIa ounces of
Pinex" with directions, and don't
accept anything else. Guaranteed
to give absolute satisfaction or
money refunded.

Earnings Will Fall Short.

Railroad earnings under government
operation during the calendar year of
1913 will fall short about $4,000, 900
of the standard return which the gov
eminent must pay the roads This
revised estimate was submitted by
Director General MeAdoo to Senator
Smith, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee. in a letter. and
represents an addition of s6e.00e,oo0
to the estimate given by Mr.. McAdoo
in his recent testimony before the COM
mittee.
Mr.. McAdoo explained in his letter
that the increased estimate was based
on actual net revenue for November,
which was now available, and which
was $28.000,000 less than was antici-
pated when he appeared before the
committee. He estimated that $4,000
900 of the difference was due to reduc-
ton of traffic during November and
$22. 100000 to increased wages and
back payments.

Court Rule To

RaiLlUdy Company

A street. car passenger who insists
upon being let off car in the down
town safety zone section when the car
has not reached the zone is subject to
arrest and fine, according to ruling
made Tuesday in city court by Judge
l.. r. Fitzhugh
BY the same token a motorman who
let's a passenger off while outside the
safety zone when In the zone section),
also Is subject to arrest and fine,
The ruling was made when charge
of violating the traffic ordinance, pre-
ferred by Tom Newell, traffic sergeant,
against c. K. Murphy street car mo-
torman, was heard. Sergt. Newell
made the arrest as a test case, so
that he might have a ruling to go by.
Judge Fitzhugh fined Murphy $40, but
held up the fine, per test case cour-
tesy. The next offender, though, he
said would have to pay his fine.
Charles Berry, special agent Of the
Memphis Street Railway company, was
on hand to testify. He said refusal to
let passengers off in the middle of
blocks meant trouble. He said that the
company wanted to observe the law.
Thinking of the strenuous efforts of
the street car company to dodge the
stop at-every- corner plan, and to stick
to the skip-stop, caused the spectators
