minutes was an experience which Ed

AS a result Morton is being held n

a deadly weapon, while Hawkins IS
biding his time at the county hospital,
suffering from severe decorations

ness and celebrity with which every shipper loads
cars and every receiver of freight unloads them.
AS to the heavy loading of cars, that is a matter
which is mainly in the hands of the shippers.
THE most effective thing the shippers could
do to help themselves, and help the industry and
people of the United States, in the present emerg
ency would be for every individual shipper re-
CARELESS of minimum carload weights, to follow
the policy of loading every with every pound
of freight that it could carry. The average cap
acity of the freight cars of this country exceeds
10 tons. The average tons loaded per loaded car
at present is only about % tons. 1t should be
easily practicable to increase this average load
ing 10 or Is per cent. The effect would be to
make it practicable for the railways to handle 10
Is per cent more freight business than they
otherwise would be able to. Surely, it must be
plain to the business interests of the country that
their own welfare, if not their actual economic
salvation, is dependent upon an increase in the
amount of freight moved
Even if normal conditions with respect to
the handling of freight traffic existed it would be
impossible for the railways, with their present
facilities, to handle all the business that would be
offered to them. The conditions, however, have
been rendered extremely abnormal by certain re-
have been the coal strike and the recent railroad
strikes in all parts of the country
Business and the general public ought
to be made to understand that the present trans
portation situation is very critical, and is likely
TO become desperate unless every individual con-
Germ contributes all possible toward relieving it. -

Today S Talk
VOICE
BY George Matthew Adams

Across the surface and deep into
the heart of time and events has the
power of the human voice been felt.
In the New Testament we read re-
peatedly about the voice of Jesus
how he stilled the waters with it,
how he healed the sick, and comfOrted
the sorrowing. And it was the voice
Of John the Baptist that cried in the
wilderness and attracted great throngs
to its hearing.
The voice is the greatest human
medium by which your personality is
felt.
Napoleon was man of few words
but so magnetic was his voice that
his maXims and commands were in
stantly grasped and obeyed Where
would the names of such men as Web
ster, Clay, Luther, Moody, Wendell,
Phillips and a host of others been en-
sraved in history had they not had
added to their great talents that of a
wonderful voice?
The voice is -given-but it may
be maintained.
There is no more valuable asset
than that of happy, clear, pleasant
sounding voice. Even a child is able
to detect good or bad in voice.
When you speak, you say what you
are.
Every day try to improve the sound
Of your voice. Read beautiful and in
spring things-aloud to yourself, or
10 someone else. Cultivate a low, dis
tinct voice. y loud voice is not the
voice of power
1t isn't always what you say, but
how you say it, that measures peo-
pies Judgment
Say nothing except when you have
something that is worth saying. And
then you will always be listened tc
when YOU talk-providing you have
so developed control over YOUR voice

The Car Shortage

IF ever there was time when transporta-
ton conditions imperatively demanded that ship
pers and receivers of freight should, for their
interest, and even their salvation, cooperate
to the utmost with the railways in securing the
most efficient possible use of railroad facilities
that time is now" says the Railway Age in an
editorial in it's current issue.
almost the only possible way in which the
amount Of freight the railroads can haul can be
Immediately increased is by securing the move
n,ent of every ton of freight possible with every
car that is available. The amount of freight that
can be moved with existing facilities is absolutely
dependent upon how much freight can be loaded
into every car, and how many miles day every
can be made to travel.
'The number of miles per day that each car
can be made to travel is mainly dependent upon
the efficiency with which the railway manage
ments and employees do their work. 1t is also
largely dependent, however, upon the prompt
