Washington. MAY 14.-Freight con-
prstion in Wilmington, Philadelphia, New
York, Pittsburg and Washington, and in
other great railroad centers of the coun-
try. which is said to be the worst since
1917, is beginning to make itself felt IN
business and commerce all over the
United States. Within ;he last few days
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
the Railroad Administration and MEM
bcrs of Congress have received complaints
that the big railroad terminals are checked
with thousands of loaded freight cars,
unable to move because of the shortage
of men and motive power.
Predictions have been made in number
of the complaints that unless the traffic
lam is broken it will be reflected in de
industry and a tremendous labor turnover
Navors in many of the railroad centcrs,
including Wilmington, already have been
notified by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to use their municipal
authority In facilitating the movement
on freight IN their respective terminals.
Reports TO the committee on car service
of the American Railroad Association
show that 235 900 cars tied up or delayed
in transit. OF this number $1,000 are at
functions with no labor to transfer them
Railroad men declare there is pressing
need for S2,4ll cars to take care of the
most urgent demands. Car shortage has
hit manufacturers who need coal also.
VIC. Kendall, chairman of the car SER
vice committee, said today that while
the situation is bad. it is not nearly so
acute as it was ten days ago. There is a
big demand for coal, and following this
comes the demand for cars for grain
from the Northwest. Officials believe it

DECLINE OF GREAT MEN

Many people are convinced that
there are no longer any great men in
the world. They look over the poll
teal leaders of these time, and thc|
do not find among them any Web
stcrs or Jctfersons or Haniltons.
According to their philosophy, TIE
present tendency Of progress is for
the masses of people to organize and
engineer their own movements. They
hold that the mass OF the people have
acquired 30 much intelligence, that
they tend to 90 ahead and carry out
their own plans, representing mas
conviction of great numbers of people
rather than the genius of the few.
In all ages there has been tend

For beating egg whites perfectly
stiff and dry there is nothing like q
wire whisk beater. An egg white
beaten in bowl with a diver beater
does not have half the air beaten in
to 1t that one on platter beaten by
whisk does. The lightness of souf.
lies and omelets depends entirely on
the beating Of the eggs and the I'M
usual amount of air that is beaten
into the whites.
An angel food OF sponge cake is a
success or failure according to the
condition OF the egg whites.
Aside from the added lightness
gained by tho use of the whisk the
volume Of the egg is greatly increas-
