INCREASED RATES
MAY NOT BURDEN
Economist for railroads
Sees Solution in Ex-
cess Profits
WARNS OF PR0FITEERS
Public Told to Beware of all
Who Would Pyramid Prices
and Blame Rate Hike

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The pub
iic may be spared higher costs OF
living by reason OF the Increased
freight rates. through tho absorp-
ton OF tho increases from excess
profits, w. Jett Iauck, consulting
eoonomliA for tho railroad labor
organizations stated today.
"while tho increased freight rates
will place an added burden upon
the consumer, this burden will not
be very heavy. provided prices OF
commodities are raised no moro
than necessary TO compensate for
the Increase" Lauck said today.
This conclusion is fortified by the
fact that In 1919, tho total value
of all commodities transported by
freight was 3li0 per ton, whereas
the average freight charge per ton
was only S2.SO. or less than 2 IL
per cent OF the value. An Increase
OF even 40 per cent in freight rates.
would therefore add less than one
per cent TO the average value OF the
Total tftlBn chfIleu'
"There IN n solution OF the problem
that would involve no additional
burden to the general public. The
Increase In freight rates, Il has been
estimated. will amount 10 $1,000
100000 year. Even this large
amount ls Insignificant, as compared
with the excess profits now being
cxacted by the basic industries and
could ensily be absorbed by them
out of these profits without any
Increase In price mt all.
'In tho daa on protiteering pre-
sented by tho railroad brotherhoods
To the railroad labor board, II was
shown that the corporations or the
country were making excess profits
TO he extent OF at least S4,S00,OOO,-
600 annually. The great industries
OF tho country could amply afford 10
deduct tho Increased freight charge
from the price OF their product. thus
allowing the commodity to reach the
retailer at the same price az for
merly. BY 30 doing, they would he
reducing their excess profits less
than one-fourth.
ANY child can understand ha an
increased transp charge OF
$1,000, 900 can be deducted from
an excess profit of $4,000, 900, 900
without any neceaaity for an advance
In price and with no injury to In
dustry.
"The public should not tolerate
any action which would pyramid
freight increases ana make them a
prctext for further advances In
prices," Ilaunk continued.
BECAUSE OF tho present abnormal
prices and proflteering, the public
should refuse 10 accept any further
advances"
Julian II. pamalee. chief statistl-
clan OF the bureau of railway eco
nomics. also warned the public
against profiteers who will make the
increase in freight rates pretext
for pyramidlng the cost OF living.
''The public alone can take tho
situation in hand" he said. They
should tell manufacturers, jobbers
and retail dealers that prices are high
enough and hey will tolerate no
further advances. In most casea,
the dealers show n large enough
margin OF profit 20 absorb the In
crease without any impairment OF
legitimate profits"

DEFEATS HOPKINS
Cvercomes Three-Run Lead
to Win Game at College
Park. 8 to 4.

Maryland State staged a come-ba ck
yesterday at College Park. after al
lowing Hopkins to get a three-run
lead in the opening half of the first
! inning. and defeated the Baltimoreans
for the second time this week by an
. S-to-4 score. Nisbet started on the
slab for State, but was poorly sup
ported and generally was wild and
ineffective. He was yanked in the
second with three on and none down.
r. Knode took his place, going to the
slab from first base. and got out
with only one run counted against
him.
1t was Knode's good work on the
slab. coupled with some good field
ing in pinches. which gave State the
victory. He was not hit hard at any
time, though twice he was pulled out
of holes on double plays after he had
walked the first man up.
After State had scored one run in
its half of the first inning it jumped
in in the second and got three runs,
which tied up the score. Snyder s
homer with a man on first in this in
ming was feature. In the third
State got a one-run lead and after
that stayed in front. State hit the
ball hard throughout. The score:

From Winthrop
Tells of Many Things Being
Taught During the Short
Course
Winthrop College, Rock Hill, s. c.
limo II 1Q00

winthrop College, Rock Hill, s. C.
June IL, 1920.
Dear Homo Folk:
am here attending the Short course
which is planned for the women and
girls of the state, who belong to the
Home DEMONSTRATION Clubs or to the
Canning and Poultry Clubs. This trip
was made possible for me through the
generosity OF some Of the business
men Of Sumter and DR.. Johnson.
| would like to tell you of some of
he many, many things that I have
learned but they are so numerous that
1 do not know where'to begin The first
hing that want to tell you is about
'tandardization end marketing our
products. We use the transparent
ars which makes the product more
attractive than the green ones that we
generally get. have also learned
about Steam Pressure canning, it saves
so much time and labor and fuel.
We were taken to the poultry farm
and taught how to set an incubator
how often to turn the eggs, how to
manage brooder, and how TO raise
'he chicks and how to tell good egg
producer among the hens.
Another remarkable lesson was one
in table service which taught me how
TO fold the table cloth and napkins.
how to put them on. and how to ar
range the dishes and silver and how
10 serve things at the table
We did some stenciling-each girl
made table runner. Then the les
son in dyeing and making over old
clothes was very good learned that
can have a new dress by dyeing and
putting little new trimming on my
old one
Besides mai-ing over clothes to re-
duce the H. c. l.. / learned that I can
cut out chewing gum and candy which
Will give more. sugar for food stuffs al
SO that every girl ought to help raise
and eat vegetables which are much
better for health than meats. We had
lectures on caring for our health, eat
'ng the right kind of, food, brushing
The teeth, getting the right amount
Of rest and fresh air.
And | must not fail to mention the
enjoyment I had ia the gymnasium.
We were taught many games and
songs. Twice We went in the swim
ming pool and had q nice time pIay
ing and trying to swim. One night, we
had q p.ay party. and another a field
day
l had many good times that can't
mention and learned many things that
will be q great help to me-
Sincerely,
Vida Singletary.
