For the Good of
 the Community

FREIGHT rates are probably a prosaic old thing with those who have daily to do with them. To the initiated some of their ramifications are astounding and their revelations fascinate
 A matter of Birmingham gas and water pipe for the Pacific coast. Five thousand tons from two shops were sold for Cali fornia distribution.
 Rails reach Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. Fortunately ships sailing out of Mobile and making the short cut to the Pacific are recently obtainable.
 Traffic managers of the pipe concerns had choice of these two rates:
 One of S31. 70 per ton by rail or one of $1625 by ship out of Mobile.
 The old rail rate to California on pipe was $23.80 per ton. The new southern road increase of 25 per cent and the vest ern road increase of 35 per cent raised it to S31.70.
 Pipe costs at the shop S70 to S73 per ton. This rail rate would have added nearly one-half the cost of the pipe to the California municipalities that had or dered it.
 So, naturally, the pipe is going by the ship Cape Henry out of Mobile just as two former cargoes of the same product con- sisting of 1000 tons of pipe have done
 The saving by the water route is just $75,350. That seems astounding, but it is cold facts. It means that much less money paid out in freight by choice of most economic rOute =
 The low rate via ship out of Mobile in- cludes the rail charge of S3. 2 to the port. Had the Port of Birmingham been able to handle this pipe movement the saving ~ would have been 62 cents additional per ton through the river differentials of 20 per cent and the amount this saved would have been $3,100. This, added to the other saving, would have brought the total saving on shipment of 5000 tons of Birmingham water and gas pipe to $78,- 475.
 This recount of facts is no more fanci- full than another remarkable one of re- cent occurrence. A Birmingham shipper received carload of heavy metal ware from Chicago. In this car was a small consignment of lightweight woodenware. The freight clerk at the Chicago end obligingly charged the consignee the higher classification of the woodenware on the whole weight
 The total freight bill was about S1 ,450. The consignee turned it over to the traffic bureau, whose rate experts in the twink ing of an eye caught the error and, through proper classification, reduced the bill by $1,064. The railroad agent ac- cepted the reduction without murmur
 There is lot in knowing ones business. There is a lot more in attending to it. The big pipe works have their own traffic ex- perts. The other man had recently se- cured the same service for $50 per annum by becoming a member of the traffic traffic bureau.
 Removal of this heavy pipe tonnage from congested railroad traffic has re- lieved hundreds of freight cars for other uses.
 The further freight saving that might have been via the Warrior points to the value of that development Had the 5000 tons moved to Tokio in Japan and the 12,- x,oI %<4 4Lo

To Keep Hair WaUy,
LusfTous, Beautiful

The use Of the hot curling-iro cannot
be too strongly condemned. It means
death to the hair eventually. More
over. it is entirely unnecessary. The hair
en- be kept beautifully wavy and curly
to any extent and in any form desired
By using the simple and harmless silmer-
Inc method. Liquid silmerine should be
applied to the hair before doing it up,
using q clean toothbrush. In about three
hours you will find that very pretty
natural wave and curiiness has resulted.
and the effect will last quite considerable
time.
Liquid silmerine is really beneficial and
10 NOT sticky nor greasy. Neither does
IL streak the hair nor stain the scalp.
You need get only few ounces from your
druggist. The best way is to divide the
front and back hair into from four to six
strands and to moisten each strand sep
arately from root to tip.-Advertisement.
