The New Epoch in RaiIroadina.

Some idea of the extent of econom-
ic and industrial changes in the United
States is shown by the fact that I'M
der the Encouragement of wages for
railroad workers that the payroll this
year will aggregate $3,610,000,000. In
1917 the total operating expenses of the
railroads of the country were but ST.
$50 900 600.
The ordinary mind finds 1t difficult
to understand this great difference in
the cost of railroad operation; but
some kind mortal has figured out the
per capita increase due to the fact that
the passenger fare on American rail-
roads have been raised $3O0,O0O,OOO
year. On the basis of our population
this will amount to only SO per capita,
or less than one per cent per day per
head of population. There isn't any
body going to go broke on that basis
Passenger rates as well as freight
rates, when analysed, show that the
tremendous increase of railroad work.
ers' pay and the consequent advance
in passenger and freight rates are east
w absorbed. w. Jett Lauck, econom-
ist and statistician, Of the railroad Ia
Dor organizations, say that there is no
occasion for alarm in the prospect IL
an addition of one and ope-haf billion
dollars to the annual transportation Dill
of the country, provided this item is
not multiplied four or five times be-
fore it is presented to the people for
payment. For instance" observes Mr.
Iauck," by no possible computation
could the increased freight rates be
made to Justify an increase CT even one
cent per pound in the price of me1t.
or one-quarter of one cent in the price
of bread.
Hence the public should be in
formed, and the forces of government
should be on guard to see that no un-
justifiabIe burden is imposed on The
people as result of the Interstate
Commerce ommission's solution OF the
financial problems of the railroads.
The National Security League. has
also issued a statment upon the same
question. It says: Taking shoes as
an example, the increase in freight
rates might possible justify an advance
of from to 16 cents a pair. Assum-
ing that the entire movement OF hide,
leather and shoes was in a district
where the freights had been advanced
40 per cent, instead of 25 per cent, the
increased cost would be about cents
on a pair of shoes. II this sum is
doubled TO cover increased freight on
coal new machinery, AID Other things

The public health service had the same
experience in Serbia, when it death
with the deadly typhus. But in every
case skilled physicians and sanitary
experts won, and the disease was con-
quered.
1t is results that count. It is free
ly admitted and proved by statistics
that Pensacola has not been so health
full for years as at the present time.
And 1t must be admitted that never
before has so rigid a campaign against
dirt and disease been waged as dur
ing the very months cited as evidence
Of our healthfulness.

Worry and Vital Energy.

What wonderful thing it would be
if an Edison should invent an energy
meter that would measure the output
of energy, as an electric meter meas
ures the current-especially if this
would show what became of mental en-
ergy.
With a great many people, half the
energy that ran through the meter
would be wasted and worse than vast
ed, because it would seriously injure
the human machine.
If we could see exactly tabulated the
frightful physical and mental losses
due to worry, fear, anxiety, jealousy,
envy, temper, hatred, etc, and what
caused these losses, the result would
appal us, and, am sure we would
find some way to stop these energy
leaks.-O. S. Marden in Success Maya

Planning Boulevards.
The cities along the Mississippi
coast are planning to construct boule-
ward connecting them with another
with the hope of attracting winter
tourists. Already the roads of that
coast are superior to those found in
neighboring counties, but it is char
acteristic of human beings TO keep
passing from good to better in all en-
terprises they undertake. 1t is hard to
understand why there is not already
smooth, hard highway all the way from
the extreme point of Florida along the
Gulf coast through Pensacola, Mobile
the Mississippi coast cities, New Or
leans and Galveston. This highway
could be located far enough back
from the water to be safe from
hurricanes. but near enough to serve
all the cities along the route. The Old
Spanish Trail is such a route, but it's
condition for most of the distance is
much as the Spaniards left it. The
time rs ripe for a coastal highway

1t is predicted by some of the best
observers in Florida that millions of
acres of new lands will be placed in
cultivation before the end of 1921. If
the old time cattle men think they can
hold back development and retain the
free use of lands for their personal
benefits, they are mistaken and they
might just as well begin to prepare for
the new era of events now, or they will
be left out OF it entirely. There will
