MOVIES NOT GUILTY

If your eyes bother you at the
movies, do not blame the pictures,
but consult your doctor about your
eyes. This is the advice given by the
United States Public Health Service,
according to a writer in The American
Journal of Public Health (Chicago),
who says:
'The fact that millions of people
90 to motion picture shows through.
out the United States daily without
experiencing any discomfort to their
eyes, or that such eye trouble that is
found is not traceable to 'Overindul.
gence' in the movies, would seem 10
indicate that motion-pictures are not
injurious to the vision. In this con-
nection it may be pointed out that
employees of motion-picture playhouses
who spend a large part Of the day
looking at the pictures, do not seem
to be troubled with their eyes any
more than the average individual. 1t
is safe to say person may witness
a picture-play lasting about an hour
and half each day without straining
the eyes or experiencing any discom-
fort, provided the eyes are good and
there are no hidden defects to the
vision"

will control the house of representa-

votes, according to partially complete
returns from all over the United

In the 435 members of the house,

159 Democrats, two Independents and

In the present house, the Republi-

That the general Republican land

Among the Republican leaders re-

Comparatively few changes in com
mittee chairmanships are expected to
result in either senate or house, but
increase of Republican membership
and decrease of the Democratic usual

Taxation, tariff and other fiscal
measures will remain in charge of
Senator Penrose, chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee, and Represen-
tative Fordney, chairman of the house
ways and means committee, both of
whom were reelected. Senator Wads-
worth of New York is expected to
continue as chairman of the senate

the seniority rule, Representative
Kahn of California, also reelected,
would continue in like capacity for

CAR SHORTAGE RELIEVED
Average Daily Movement of Freight
Cars Increased 26.f Miles.

| Real progress in the task of reliev-
| ing the transportation problem in the
| United States has been reported in the
last bulletin of the Advisory commit
tee of the Association of Railway Ex-
ecutives.
The committee reports that the
average daily movement of freight
! cars has been increased from 22.3
miles in February to 26.1 in July, and
| incomplete statistics available since
that time indicate a further increase.
The average load for freight cars
has also been increased, tho definite
| figures for all roads are not yet avail
able later than July. when the aver
age load was -29.6 tons.
Improvement on the number of cars
| in good repair is also reported. The
extraordinary effort which has been
made to get all the cars possible on
their own lines, has assisted also in
getting the cars into good repair. 1t
is stated that in September. 80 per
cent of the cars were on the lines of
their own roads.
On March 1. when the railroads
were relinquished by the government
only 21.9 per cent of the cars were on
their home lines, as compared with A
per cent at the end of 1917. when the
roads were taken over. Refrigerator
cars are the only type in which an i'm
provement in this respect has not been
noted.
The return of freight cars to their
owning lines as rapidly as it can be
done consistently with the demands of
traffic was one of the objects set by
the railroads when they returned to
private management. In general the
different roads have provided them
selves with the types of cars best
suited for the traffic Of their respec-
tive territories. and car repairs can be
made more satisfactorily on the home
roads. Therefore, relocation was re-
garded as important in the program of
service.
FOR the week ending October g."
says the report. american railroads
handled 1,009,7S7 cars as compared
with 1921 in the corresponding
week of 1919 and 959.T22 in the
corresponding week of 1918. This is
the first time that car loading has ex-
ceeded the million mark this year"
Not only did the railroads break a
record for total car IoadinSs in the
week ending October 9. but according
to statistics of the United States geo
logical survey, they also broke the
years record for the number of tons
of bituminous coal transported. ham
ding in that week 12,0T5,000 tons.

VOTE COUNTING WAS SLOW.
Trouble Was Due to Use of Tw'
Ballots

Ballots.
One factor which operated to slow
voting and counting boards down in
Tuesdays election was the fact that
the two ballots, one with the state
and national tickets, the other with
the district, county and township tick
cts. when folded. could not be differ
entiated by the judges In order to
get the ballots into their proper boxes
the judges were compelled to open and
scan each one. The delay is said to
have amounted to from one to two
hours counting time at each precinct
in the city
The judge at one precinct polling
place solved the difficulty by marking
in pencil, on the outside of the ballot
&C" to Identify the county ticket bal
lot.
AT several of the precincts. judges
or clerks with new ideas about how to
count ballots, mana ged to hold up the
process while they tried out their svs-
TENS and frazzled the nerves of the
other members of the board
