Director General Hines Says Rail-

Are Lowest in History.

>. Charges on Some Articles.

Data compiled from authoritative
sources shows that railroad freight
rates are the least factor In the cost
of living. Although the proportion of
the total cost Of goods that can be
charged to transportation is not known
with statistical accuracy, 1t is estlmat-
ed that the average transportation cost
Of things produced In this country is
very small percentage Of their total
cost to the consumer.
Freight Cost "a Per Cent Of Total.
In a letter to Representative John ].
Esch, chairman Of the House Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
Of the Southern Pacific Company,
points out that in the last five years
the value of goods increased on an av-
erage Of $63 a ton, while freight
charges advanced only 60 cents a ton.
In Eve years, he explains, the aver
age value Of freight carried by the
railroads increased from $50 to $119 a
ton. The cost Of carrying this increas-
ed from 81 to $3.50, paid to the rail-
roads. In 1914, he adds, 8.6 per cent
Of the total cost Of the goods was
spent for transportation. In 1919 only
"a per cent was spent.
I'm other words" Mr.. Kruttschnitt
writes, "only 80 cents out of $63, or 1.3
cents out Of every dollar of increase in
value Of commodities in 1919 was caus-
I'd by increased freight charges. The
responsibility for the remaining $62.2O,
or 9s.7 cents out Of every dollar, must
be sought elsewhere. 1t was not caus.
ed by freight rates."
Rates Lowest In History.
Comparison with transportation
charges in other countries shows that
In no other country Of the world is
transportation furnished at so low a
cost as in the United States Compar.
ed, too, with the cost Of other goods
and services today, railroad transporta.
tion Is the cheapest thing the public
buys. 1t Is sold for less than the cost
of production, considering all the ele.
ments Of cost. T.
In statement on this subject to the
New England Bankers Association
Walker D. Hines, Director General OF
Railroads, said:
II think 1t Is a fair statement
that at the present time, despite
the increases which have taken
place In freight rates, a ton of
steel or a ton Of coal, bushel of
wheat or the unit Of any other
commodity has to pay for trans
portation a less percentage of the
price Of that commodity than ever
before in the history Of the coun-

Jerome has an incubator baby all
it's own. The career thus lar of this
interesting infant is thus described IN
in Verde Copper News:
The first jerome baby to be cared
for in an incubator is Miss Mary
Patricia Hudgens, daughter Of Mr.,
and Mrs. John Hudgins. born on St.
Patrick's day and weighing only two
pounds and 10 ounces at birth. The
wee girl arrived ahead of time and it
was necessary to construct an incuba-
tor if her chances of living were to be
good. So the incubator was promptly
evolved. 1t is constructed of pine box
with a hinged cover of glass, and is
kept at about 81 degrees by three
high-powered electric bulbs, any one
of which can be switched off when
the thermometer indicates too great
an increase in heat. Ventilation is
provided by two openings at the head
and foot of the incubator, and little
Mary Patricia lies on a pillow raised
above the electric bulbs. Having lost
several ounces after birth, the baby
now weighs only little over two
pounds. She is being fed on diluted
goats milk, and this morning was re-
ported as thriving in her glass-roof-
ed house.

CHAPTER VII.

Colonel Seth Pennington looked up
sourly as a clerk entered his private
Office. "WeIl?" he demanded brus-
quely. When addressing his EN-
ployees, the Colonel seldom bothered
to assume his pontifical manner.
"Mr. Bryce Cardigan is waiting to
see you, sir"
"very well. Show him In"
Bryce entered. "Good morning,
Colonel" he said pleasantly. and bra
zenly thrust odt his hand.
"Nor for me, my boy" the Colonel
assured him. ''I had enough of that

Colonel Pennington cleared his
throat with a propitiatory "Ahem-m-
