calamity. But It Is not fair dealing
with the Federal Rallrosd Adminisira-
tion. Il is not honest treatment Of
the facts, TO ignore the part played In
the losses by the coal strike Many
trains had 20 be cut of. Freight had
TO be refused. Routings had to be
changed Business had TO be done un-
der disadvantages both burdensome and
demoralizing.
Yet. when all that is admitted the
disordered month OF November showed
alarmingly the financial helplessness Of
the American railway system under eX-
ist'ng conditions and the hopelessness
OF their future If these conditions are
not to be remedled entirely and imme-
diately.
The tragic lesson OF November IS
that besides the extraordinary coal
strike costs the persistent and gen.
eral climb Of ordinary expenses went
on. It went on in spite Of less trattic
carried and less work done II went
on in spite OF a fall in freight ton
miles from 40 i52 600 in November
1918 TO 476i7 600 last November; in
soite Of a 40 per cent shrnkage Of
tons TO the train mile; in spite Of a
shrinFage Of as much as s4 per cent
in ton milesge.
It is this pouring of the gross rev.
enues into a bottom'ess pit of expenses
which hos brought the American rail-
way system face to face with ruin.

WHAT THE THRIFT SAVINGS
MOVEMENT MEANS

Have you ever stopped to think
what the Thrift Savings Movement
really means, or is it still confused
in your mind with war days?
Thrift Savings Movement OF the
United States government is an op-
portunity given people to commence
to want to save, to commence to
save, and to make it possible and
easy for them to save
The government is looking ahead
and the government has looked be
hind, too. In looking behind, it has
taken note of the fact that very few
people, comparatively speaking, have
managed their affairs 50 that power
ty and old age would not be their lot
The main reason for this is that SO
few people, still speaking in com
paratiye sense, have learned that
Thrift is the good management Of
the business of living. Had you real
ized that fiftyfour people out of ey-
cry one hundred are not self-support-
ing at sixtyfive years of age? They
failed to save in their producing
days. Or in the language Of the
street, they didn't save while the
saving was good" In looking ahead,
the government seesthat more and
more people will be "down-and out
ers" if they do not save for them
selves; it wants its people to be pros
porous, financially comfortable and
happy.
1t is to help people save, to make
it possible for them to save safely
and to make it possible for the lit
tie fellow" especially, to get ahead,
that the government is conducting
the Thrift Savings Campaign and
making Csc Thrift Stamps, $500 War
Savings Stamps, 800 Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates and
$1,000 Registered Treasury Savings
Certificates available to the public at
post offices and banks. The govern
ment wants its people to save for
themselves and to save systematical-
ly because it is the proper thing to
do. Any thinking man or woman can
readily see that the happy person
and the happy home are those which
are comfortably prosperous and
