FRENCH NATION
IS DISCUSSED
People Have Been One of the
Leaders in Civilization in
Europe for Many Centuries

"A Brief History of France" was
given by Mrs H. E. Cole and "Ihe
Influence of French Literature" was
presented by Miss Zura Fricke at the
regular meeting of the Fortn1ghtly
Literary club on Friday evening at
the Presbyterian manse, the home OF
Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Henke.
France has recorded history OF
about 1000 years, Mrs. Cole, explain
ed. the beginning dating from the
the time julius Caesar invaded thu
portion of Europe. Paris began on
an island and there is much OF inter
est connected with the great city IT
| its rise with the nation. Mrs. Cole
smoke of the great rulers, of the IT.
/ fluence of the Crusades, of the begin
! nings of literature, and OF other
phases in the growth of the nation.
A French writer holds that since the
fall of the Roman Empire France lad
led or been not far behind other ma
tions in civilization. When she Jagged
it was but short time and most OF
the great movements for the better
mant of men had come through her
I influence.
In the discussion Of French litera-
ture Miss Fricke considered three
phases; the classic, represented by
Racine, who lived in the sixteenth
century; the romantic, OF. which Vic
! tor Hugo was the leader; and the
modern, Of which Anatole France is
the principal writer.
| Racine was a poet of dignity, his
productions being in the classic form.
In his dramas he did not attempt to
unite the tragic and the comic, hold
Miss Fricke discussed the effect of
the French Revolution on the litera-
ture of the time, one effect being that
the doors were open to all words of
the language. Previous to that time
certain words were not considered in
good form and were not used.
Victor Hugo gained his reputation
through his odes and ballads. The
speaker told of his marvellous command
OF language, especially in description,
his pictures being painted il endur-
ing lcolors. He was a delinator of
humanity in all walks Of life
France is the greatest exponent of
modern writing in France. One rea-
son that he is not better known in
the English speaking countries is that
his works have not been translated in
to this and other languages.
The mastery and comprehensive
paper by Miss Fricke received due
appreciation.
J Mrs. Runge read short extract
from. an address by Mr.. French in
which he gave most advanced ideas as
ITO education.
y Mr.. and Mrs. Ralf T. Runge and
Jack Boyle became members.
| The next meeting of the club will
be with Mrs. Hugh Kelley at which
time papers will be given by Mrs. E.
Aug. Runge and Superintendent A

Freight Cars Now
Move on One-Third
Efficiency Basis

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. IL
Freight car movement in the United
states is being handled with only ap-
proXlmaIely 80 per cent efficiency as
compared to records maintained
when rail lines were operated by the
owners, according to estimates based
on figures covering actual movement
OF cars coming into the San Antonio
territory from every part OF the
country. Development OF the fact
that mefficiency In railway control
as now conducted by the United
States railway administration is at
the bottom OF the alleged shortage of
freight cars has been brought out
by an investigation mere made by
an investigation here made by the
San Antonio freight bureau.
Figures compiled by U. S. Paw
kett, traffic manager of the bureau,
shows that in tracing the movement
OF 258 cars total OF 1882 car days
were lost, which if used as basis
OF calculation in figuring the oper-
alton during the same length Of time
of more than 100000 freight cars
in use in the United States, the car
day loss would reach the total of
100000 each three weeks during a
year.
Further investigation shows that
at The present movement of freight
cars throughout the country a total
of 100000 cars instead of the g.
100000 in actual operation, would be
necessary to handle the normal traf-
fic of the United States.
A summary of data compiled by
Mr.. Pawkett will be placed before
the conference of shippers and Off
Gals of the state railway commission
which has been called at Austin for
Monday, Mr.. Pawkett not being able
to attend the meeting in person.
