for an increase in wages. The short age in houses has been ation-wide Some building materials are back to pre-war prices. But building on a general scale will not be resumed until labor comes down, too, for any one wanting to build a house and sell it several years hence for any thing near the original cost will not build at war prices of labor. It the purchasing power of the dollar should gradually increase the aver age workman will not be justified in asking for that retention of high wages but the trouble will be to make the average man accept that line of reasoning until the dollar does actually buy as much as 1t used to. The trouble about the re- adjustment of economic conditions is that things do not move uniformly and naturally reductions in labor are yet to come, the painfulness of the economic situation is not over, but with unemployment so extensive the resumption of large business opera tions after the first of the year will tend toward the relief of those who are getting no wages at all, and who believe in the practical philosophy that some kind of a job is better than none.
 The big fact is that the financial world makes possible the continu- ance of manufacturing operations has passed through it's crisis, and that while buying will be conserva- tive, the return to normal has at last begun on a basis that has removed the wrinkles of anxiety of faces of government officials and made them feel that the nation has successfully weathered the storm.

Turn For Better In Business Has
 Come, Leaders Say

Washington, Dec. 27.-The worst is over. A turn for the better in the business situation of the country has come government officials gen orally were glad to be able to send a Christmas message to the Ameri- can people that all danger of a col lapse in the credit situation had passed and that from now on steady return to normal conditions may be expected,
 Every bit of evidence gathered here confirms the view of officials that with the exception of individual cases where bad management or i'm prudent financing has caused some concerns to hang by an eyeIash the entire outlook is favorable.
 The process of readjustment is not over. Perhaps some of the most painful changes will come when the price of labor is gradually brought down, bu tin the business world it's elf the bottom has been reached and the future is by no means as dark as it was a month ago. Letters re- ceived from bank officials in various parts of the country indicate that the turn came in the last six or seven days and that the improvement is substantial and sound.
 The reports received on Christ mas buying indicate that the strike which the consumer started several weeks ago against the purchase of everything except absolute necessi- , ties was broken by the Christmas spirit and that most retailers will have cleared their shelves pretty well by the end of the year.
 Of course the danger in reducing the cost of labor is always the pros. pect of a strike. But in many cases the employer would welcome the chance to be rid of an overhead cost on labor altogether for few weeks so the wise laboring man consulting with the housewife and noticing decline in the prices of food an, clothing will, it is believed here be ready to accept lower week. wage rather than insist on a highe one and run the risk of not gettin

Street Car Service.

In order to properly analyze the OPP
GRAFTON of a street car system there
must necessarily be some fixed stand
ard by which the service can be
gagged. The customry practice is to
measure the service in a unit called car
miles. The records of the company
should be kept so as to show the exact
facts with respect to each car, and by
adding the operations of the different
cars together, the total of the entire
system can be ascertained.
For instance the records should show
exactly how many miles each car trav-
els during the year, how many passen-
gers each car carries during the year
and naturally the sums of these two
operations will show the total number
of miles Travelled by all the cars during
the year. and also the total number of
passengers carried by all the cars dur
ing the year.
by dividing the number of miles
travelled during the year by the mum
{ Der of passengers hauled during the
year the car mile service is asCertained
In other words, this process estab-
fishes just how far a car travels to
carry passenger, and just how many
passengers are carried for every mile
travelled.
THE records of the Memphis Street
Railway company indicate that for the
year 1919 their service was on a basis
of .16 car miles, or that they hauled
81 passengers for every mile Travelled
during the year.
Right in this connection is where
efficient operation and management
play very important part for the
reason that proper distribution Of the
service as to hours and street car loads
will enable a service based upon a less
car mile gauge to give the same results
practically to the public. In other
words, efficient management depends
largely upon proper distribution Of the
service.
What a passenger wants is to b.
able to board car at almost any tins
and find a car there ready to carry
him. lie may be expected to wait

With Expense Of Operation

Mayor Paine Wednesday took up the
general question of the service given

operation bears to the cost, and cOnse-
quently to the rate Of fare.
He reiterates what he has repeated
in every one of the series Of statements
to the public. that a scent fare is
shown by the record of the various
hearings at Nashville and by the esti-
mates made by expert street railway
engineers, to be sufficient to provide
all revenue necessary for the Memphis
company this year.

city administration Wednesday toward
any attempt to induce the state utilities
commission to recopsider the determi-

of fare in Memphis at cents, w. p.

after the incident revealed that a
stick of dynamite or charge of
powder had been placed in the
ground under a tree just south of

blown in the earth and the jar was
so great that it shook out a window
pane on the top floor of the court
