the records of the commission on car service. to which reports are made by all the large railways.
 During the three weeks ended July Is the records of the commission show that there were loaded on the railways of the south 350,962 cars of commercial freight, as against S3S ,9S7 cars during the same period last year and S52, ls3 cars during the same period of 1918.
 On the railways of the entire country there were loaded during the three weeks ended July IS. 2.521, ,263 cars, as against 2,455.364 during the same period last year and 2,722,562 during the same period ot 1918
 These figures show that the railways of the country are not only performing a larger measure of public service than they performed during similar periods of 19l9 but they are closely approach ing the records made in 1918, when every nerve was being strained to win the war, and the railways of the south have even passed the high record made in 1918
 In discussing the heavy business being handled by American railways Nat this time, the Railway Age in a recent issue said:
 The newspapers are full of reports regarding industries that are operated at much less than their maximum ca pacity, or are on the verge of having to close down because of inability of the railways to handle the traffic offered them. In spite of the strikes and other

FOUR PRESIDENTS ONLY HAVE USED
 AN AUTOMOBILE

"Only four Presidents out of twenty eight have enjoyed the use of motor cars" says Martin Klyce of Edwards Motor Company. local dealer in Chevro- let passenger and commercial cars.
 William Mckinley was the first President of the United States to use a motor car.
 Roosevelt and Taft established the automobile as the principal mode of presidential transportation.
 Everyone is familiar with the ex- tent to which President Wilson uses his official motor car.
 This indicates the wonderful prog ress motor transportation has made in the past twenty years.
 When President Mckinley adopted the automobile there were only 3.100 motor cars in the United States Peo- pie did not believe the autom mobile would ever be other than a plaything.
 President Wilson's car is only one of more than 7,50o.000. And the auto mobile today is/ a recognized trans portation utility
 The motor car has not only sup planted the coach of state. It has won place in the oldest customs of our national life. It is the established con veyance for all occasions.
 "Another curious illustration of this is the erection by a church rin New Hampshire of church garage to take the place of the picturesque old wagon shed.

MORE CHILDREN AT WORK IN CHICAGO
High Cost of Living Fore ing Many to Help Aug
 ment Family Purse
By Associated Pro"

Chicago. August 14.-Four thousand more children are working in Chicago today than a year ago, according 10 Clyde A. Brown, acting director of the city vocational guidance bureau. The in crease in child labor is said to be gem eral in the middle west but exceptions are noted in Missouri, Kansas and North Dakota.
 Necessity of the child helping the fam fly meet the high cost of living the pull ing power of niger wages and scarcity or adult labor. together with the discovery by employers that women and children often could take the place of men were cited by Mir. Brown among reasons for a similar increase in child labor in other parts of the United States.
 Minnesota officials report that child la- bor is nearly doubled in that state. The greatest increase, they say. is among children ofa the white collar" class. whose parents have been forced by rising prices to permit their children to work. About 5000 under sixteen years of age

troubles, the railways almost contin- uously in 1920 have been moving more freight than in 1919.
 Why, then, are the industrial opera tions of the country being seriously inter- fered with and it's financial stability threatened by insufficient transporta- ; tion? There can be only one rational an- swer to that question. The present con- dtions are partly due to strikes. but they are mainly due to the fact that for years the productive capacity of the country has been rapidly increasing, while the facilities and capacity of the railways have been increasing haruiy at all.
 Present conditions are principally chargeable to those who throughout the years from 1906 to 1917 by fighting to keep the rates and net earnings of the railways on the lowest possible level. did all they could in their respective ways to make it impossible for the car riers to,handle the country's commerce.

 Wisconsin statistics on child labor for the year are not yet tabulated. but of- ficials say enough returns are in to in- dicate a considerable increase over previ- ous years. Some boys under l6 years have been receiving si00 a month.
 T. C. Jennings, Texas state labor com missioner, reports an increase of about 10 per cent in Texas child labor over last year Postponement of compulsory school attendance, he says has been factor.
 State Labor Commissioner Claude E. Connally of Oklahoma says more viola tions of child labor laws have been brought to the attention of his office this year than previously. from which he de- duces an increase in juvenile workers. Connaliy said the increase in violations was probably due to the fact that there was 90 per cent more jobs in the state than workers.
 A. L. trick. Iowa state labor commis- sioner, recently reported that approxi- mately 900 more permits had been is- sued in the past year to children between the ages of IA and IS than in the year previous.
 Kansas and North Dakota report child labor in those states as almost negngi- ble St Louis reports decrease. Chil- drenl now employed in that city are stated to number 5900, which is 7oo less than were employed a year ago The state factory inspectors office says the decrease s general all over the state.
