river. This condition, however. no longer exists.
 Data showing the growth and amount of railroad traffic handled re- fleets the fact that there has been an enormous increase in the productive capacity Of the country within recent years. But they do not tell the whole story, because I think 1t may be safe ly said that at no time within the last three years have the railways been able satisfactorily to handle all the traffic which the industries of the country have offered them when the industries have been working any where near to their capacity. The result has been that in all periods of large production there have been com plaints from the large producing in dustries, and many of these complaints have been only too we'll founded.
 Tt is impossible to obtain reliable statistics as to the present productive capacity of most of our large indus tries but in almost all cases where such information is obtainable it shows that large increases have taken place since pre-war days and that such increases are still continuing. On the other hand, very little has been done to increase the capacity of the railways The num- Der of miles of railway abandoned dur ing the last three years has been greater than the number built The number of locomotives and freight cars ordered during the more than two years of government control would barely suffice to replace the number ordinarily retired fin a year. The Inter state Commerce commission statistics show that there was an actual decline of 206 in the number of locomotives in service in 1918 and an increase in the number of freight cars of only 1425; and when the statistics for 1919 are available they doubtless will show that in that year there was a further decline in the number of both locomo- tives and freight cars
 During government control not a single passenger car was ordered When the railways were returned to private operation the car and locomo- tive builders were practically out of crders for equipment for domestic use and while considerable orders have been placed since then most railway companies have been obliged by gen. eral financial conditions and uncer-

ANITA STEWART STAR. IN EXCITING SCREEN
 DRAMA AT COLUMBIA

How city youth who wouldn't take dare until an entire community in condemnation of a defenseless girl for whom the fates had provided nothing better than a memory of q distressing early life serves as the basis for the exciting human story that is told in
 'The Fighting Shepherdess," starring Anita Stewart and which will begin three-day engagement at the Columbia
 theater, commencing today.
 As Kate Prentice, daughter Of the proprietress of a roadhouse about
 whom the sheep herding community of western California knew very little
 Miss Stewart is called upon to display a characterization which, in vigorous
 ness has not been equaled in her screen career to date. Picture a girl in whom
 Nature has reposed the clements of re-
 finement. struggling against the ad vances of uncouth men who freduented the tavern of which her mother was the proprietor.
 A most novel plot has been provided for this picture. Kate is taken away from the tavern as a result of a kind liness on the part of a recluse sheep herder, who saves her from the ap- breaches of a notorious character. It | is through this opportunity that Kate 1 is enabled to meet Hughie Disston an | customer who befriends her. Suspected as the murderess of the i man who enabled her to leave the un- 1 whole some atmosphere of the tavern. 1 battling against outlaw cattlemen who are determined to make her leave the i district finally as the wealthy owner of 1 a big sheep ranch and the person to whom the community is thankful for

alleviating their difficulties, Miss Stewart has a role of splendid possi- bilities that give ample opportunity for the display of her histrionic ability.
 A cast of eleven principals supports Miss Stewart in this production. Among those who appear in the picture are: Wallace Macdonald, Noah Berry, Wal ter Long, Eugenie Besserer. John Hall Gibson GowIand. Calbert Carter. Billy DeVal, Maude Wayne, Ben Lewis and Win Jeffries.

Old Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number OF
federal employees is affected by the

those employees who will be deprived

their jobs at the same time, there are

who is now more than eighty years old
and has served in the department just
fourteen years, one less than neces-

reau, which is handling the administra-

than eighty years old, but has not
served fifteen years.

cision takes up in detail the various
clauses of the retirement law which
seemed to make ambiguous the matter

IT, Army Uniforms Will Now Fit the Men

THE ARMY has found the perfect
man. It all came about because
of the poor fitting uniforms with which
Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The
uniforms have been made to order on
Anticipated patterns, held to by the
war department from time immemor-
ial. Try as they could. army officers
couldn't fit the recruits. Every now and
then, by accident, a uniform would
aft like the paper on the wall"
Just before the war the army took
measurements of 1000 men. From the
average, the patterns were made by
which uniforms were ordered. But the
result was the same. The clothes
wouldn't fit
But from now on they probably
will. DIR. c. b. Davenport. of the Car
negie institute Of Washington, and a
major In the surgeon generals depart

lem.

from every state and the Dis rict Of
Columbia, were taken during the war.

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation of the
~ distribution of fuel oil may be
resOrted TO If the present menace of
a serious shortage continues. A con-
ference of representatives of the lead
ing retineries and users of fuel oil to
work out some joint plan of distribu-
ton has been suggested by Secretary
of Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticularly with reference to the situa-
ton in California, in letter to Sena-
tor Phelal of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of its effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as a
last resort.
Latest figures show that the navy
now needs S,OOO,OOO barrels of fuel oil
a year and that the shipping board,
with its new merchant fleet, will re-
quire 40,0O0,0O0 barrels for 1920 and
60,000l000 barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships of the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output of American re-
fineries for about four months.
