The electric needle is not required

district is experiencing another car short
age and in some instances number Of
important memorial shipments are held

long been dependent upon freight ears
bringing merchandise and produce from
the West. Since the armistice all ship
ments, with the exception of foodstuffs,
have suffered marked falling of, with
the result that fewer empty cars have
been available for re-routing to western
