The executive council of the Nation

the country says:
''The council In it's consideration of
the transfer of the railways to private

the volume of goods carried (measured
in the number Of freight tons carried

times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account Of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1900
hauled 10000 traffic units freight

waite operation Of the railroads prior &c
the entry of the United States into the
war. that 10000 had been increased
TO 296,0o0
The following table shows the in
roads since 1900 which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
of the country:
Ton miles increased. ....... 1907
Passenger miles increased. 1909
Trackage increased ....... $500
Cars and engine increased. 1873
Workers increased ......... $3.50
Output per worker increased 60Go
Average train load increased 1900
These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment of new
capital to increase the efficiency Of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to Increase the
amount OF traffic handled and reduce
the amount of labor required to handle
it.

The American railroads are more

carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in a year.

NEW YORK, July ij.-Slowly. sad
~, but surely New York's East Side
is beginning to awaken TO the fact
mat no real prosperity has come as
the result Of high wages
The high cost Of living. the mad
tendenyc Of even the thrifty East
Siders 10 spend easily earned money
for eXtravagant clothes and pleasures
and the already felt pinch Of the slow
ing down in domestic trade orders
have all combined 10 bring TO A halt
the short-lived belief Of these sweat
shop workers that this was their
day" and that the world was about
to lay its wealth at their feet.
Wages are high they have ar
gued with themselves. They can't
go down. We will have our flyer
and then settle down"
They have had their flyer. They
have worn silk shirts, fur coats, and
much flnery. But now the silk
shirts and fur coats are nearly worn
out, wages are no higher than they
were year ago and the cost Of liv-
ing. if anything, has gone up.
The East Side OF today is not ap-
preciably any different than it was
five years ago. Much costly food is
displayed, but malnutrition cases are
Just as many at the clinics. High
rents are being paid but housing con-
diNons, II anything, are worse.
Factory girls are dressed in silks
and stevedores in tbilormade gar
ments but there is Just as much

And so IL appears that New York's
East Side is about to settle down Ia

sions that came with the flood Of
work and high wages during the wal

Uncle Harry Talks About
Wonderful Progress Made
In Teaching the Blind

Joe had been playing a new record
on the talking machine when Uncle
Harry came up the walk towards the
house, and a few minutes later, when
the members OF the club were gath
cred for the evenings talk, Uncle
Harry said:
Il wonder il any OF you read the
news published the other day about
a new invention, which II he does az
that its inventor believes IL Will,
ought TO be a great blessing to all the
blind peope all over the world ?"
why no. Unce Harry, what is this
new invention?" asked Helen.
1T Is called a Typophonla' and 1t
IS the invention OF a DR. Max Herr,
an eminent physician. whose home Is
in Vienna. who has recently come TO
the United States TO consult with
American experts on blindness and
methods Of helping the blind" said
Uncle Harry.
A New Invention.
MAYBE | have that dispatch here
in my pocket" continued Uncle
Harry. as he began searching through
| his pockets.
Sure enough. he found the clipping
and from it he read this brief expla-
nation. "The invention is based on
a sound alphabet devised by Dr..
Herr from the Morse telegraph code.
A phOnograph record is
made OF a story in the sound Ian
guage. The record is placed on an
| instrument resembling n phonOgraph,
| equipped with sOunding-bOX. and the
/ blind person after becoming famil-
| lar with the alphabet is able 10 read
| by ear rather than through the
J fingers, as in Braille.
/ The great advantage Of this inven-
/ tion. as explained by Or. Herr" add
ed Uncle Harry us that all Of the
best literature Of every kind can be
put within the reach Of every blind
/ person at a cost very much lower
than that Of the Braille or any other
/ system that has ever been suggested"
] Just what is the Braille System,
Uncle Harry ?' asked Joe.
ut is a method OF printing by
means OF raised characters on book
pages instead Of printed words. It
was invented by a French teacher
OF the blind. Louis Braille, and up 10
the present time it has been the
greatest single contribution 10 the
/ education and enlightenment Of blind
people that has ever been made All
the big libraries in this country and
in other countries have departments
! for the blind. and peOpe who have
lost their sight may borrow the many
books printed in Che Braille System
and enjoy stones and other writings,
/ Just as we do who are fortunate in
/ slill having our sight Let US hope
that the new invention OF the Typo
phOnia' will carry on this excellent
work and make il easier IN every
way for blind people everywhere to
enjoy more and more OF the good lit
erature OF the world"

pie can learn to do, isn't it?" said
Joe.
