HIGHER RATES OR HIGHER TAX

The impression is growing turnout
the country that another advance in
railroad freights at an early date is
coming. The wage increase granted to
the members of the railway brother
hoods last week but has served
to accentuate this view.
The class 1 railways earned in Feb
ruary a net operating income of only
100000 900. whereas the average net
operating income earned by them in
February, 1915, 1915 and 1917 was
SAT-, 600, 900. In other words, in Feb
ruary they incurred a deficit for the
government of $4,000 900. Their
deficit in January was sS6,OOO.O0O
making a total deficit for the first two
months Of this year of $4,000, 600.
The armistice was signed early in No
vember. In the four months imme-
diately following it. the railways
should have earned se59,OOO. 900 net
operating income in order to have COW
cred the guaranteed standard return to
the companies. They actually earned
only S114.OO0.OOO. During the first
four months following the signing of
the armistice the railways earned
only ~ per cent OF the guaranteed
standard return to the companies.
During the first two months of the
year they earned only 80 per cent of
the standard return guaranteed to the
companies
1t is not conceivable, says the Rail-
way Age. that the results turnout the
year would continue to be so bad. but
It is probable that IL existing rates
should be continued the deficit for the
year would be at least $500. 900. 900.
In some respects the conditions have
been abuormally unfavorable. For
example. traffic has been declining
very greatly. On the other hand.
some of the most important condi-
tons were abnormally favorable.
Never in the history of railroad oper-
alton in America were there four win
ter months when the conditions were
more conducive to economical opera
ton than they were in the four months

For the first time in my life I was

cause, altho 1 loved my husband SO
dearly, he persisted in being almost
stranger to me. What could there
be between him and Blanche Orion.
that the death of her invalid husband
should affect him as it had? What
was the secret between them? l was
burning with excitement, yet there
was something almost icy in me that
tried relentlessly to probe into the
heart of things that were causing me
such anguish.
At midnight I went to my room.
The dawn came and found me still
at the window. L had not slept at all.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 married
man from out of town who took me
away to live. l was so homesick L
thought 1 could not stand it and so L
begged him to let me come home for
a visit. After 1 had been here sev-
eral weeks he came down to surprise
me and to take me back with him. 1
was not prepared to go at the time
and SO 1 refused
After that 1 did not get letters from
him. l was so worried that | wrote

enlisted because he knew l no longer
loved him.
have not received any money from
him and have been compelled TO go to
work. 1 found out from the Red Cross
where he was and so / wrote him a
letter.
Now I have received ono from him.
1t was very cold and simply told me
some of the experiences he has had
since he left me. I asked him what
ne intended to do upon his return
about our living together, and he sim
ply ignored the question.
1 know now that l love him and it
seems to me / can't give him up. Do
you think he would have been so cold
if he still loved me? He die not mem
ton love and he signed himself sin
cerely." 81 ...--...s
What do you thik of this?
G. NJ. G.
You made q mistake in leaving your
husband for so long a time. 1t is no
wonder he got tired of waiting for
you. After a girl marries her duty is
with her husband regardless of the
fact that she suffers from homesick-
ness at times
Your husbands letter indicated
nothing. Perhaps he thinks that too
much eagerness on his part would
make you less anxious to return to
him. He is giving you a taste of in
difference. Probably when he returns
he will go to you and see what can be
done TO adjust matters.
Consider his feelings this time and
forget yourself.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We live in II
very small town in which we know
everyone. Do you think it is proper
,, for three or four girls to walk alone
to hi h school party about six blocks
from our home? r. LIS
1t would be all right TO go to the
party alone, but if il lasts late you
! should have some one call for you to

under review. The facts are that the
government as a railroad manager IS
bankrupt, and that if the railways
should now be returned to private op-
Grafton many of the companies would
be bankrupted.
In view of the results of operation
within recent months. it is perfectly
evident. says the Age. that with pres
emit wages and present rates the rail-
ways cannot be made under either
government or private operation to
earn an adequate net operating in
come. If the government continue to
operate them it will, unless rates are
advanced, continue to incur a large
deficit. Unless rates be advanced
many of the companies. if the rail-
ways should be returned to private
operation. would be ruined. Higher
rates or increased taxes appear in
evitable.

and it will thus be possible to find and
locate a miner who is pounding. At
tie experimental mine in Bruceton.
Pa, a man has frequently been located
thru one hundred and forty feet of
cover within fifty feet of the exact
study is also being made of the dis
tances that pounding on rails and
pipes can be heard. Since rails are
generally buried in the earth or dust
on the entries of a mine and since this
dust damps the transmission of the
sound, the sounds are not transmitted
very well. The same is true of pipe
lines. However. if pipe lines are not
buried, but are laid blocks and ties,
the pounding can be heard great dis
tances. So- far no lines have been
found long enough to show the limit
of the geophones. 1t is known, how
ever, that the naked ear can get
sounds farther than two thousand feet.
1t is also thought that this device
will be of value to prevent accidents
from explosions. In L s connection
an interesting incidel happened re-
Gently. Observations were being made
at a tunnel heading. The pit boss
happened along and asked to be al
lowed to listen. He put the ear pieces
in his ears and remarked: Mack is
tamping in a charge. we had better
move away" He spoke as naturally
as tho he had been watching Mack.
and it is quite evident that he did not
realize the sound was coming thru
three hundred feet of COAL else he
would not have given the warning.
Observations were made recently of
mine fire burning from twenty to
forty feet below the surface. A low
rumbling noise could be heard as if
air were being drawn in along crew
ices, and occasionally sounds could be
heard from the swapping and falling
of pieces of coal or rock. As well as
can be determined, the fire area was
accurately located.
After the investigating work has
been completed a course of instruction
in the use of the ;eophone will be de-
veloped, and recommendations will be
made as to what procedure it will be
best for a rescuer to follow when
carrying the instruments as well as
what procedure lad best be followed
by an entombed miner.
