CAR-MILES PER DAY

TN their fight to avoid cut in wages,
1 railway labor unions are insisting
that the roads could inaugurate econo-
mics in their operation that wouldlput
them on a paying basis and obviate any
wage reduction. One of the savings
that is urged is more miles per day per
car, and they have submitted table
showing that of the New England roads
the Boston & Albany averages 32 2
miles day, while the New York, New
Haven & Hartford shows only 1878
miles In the Great Lakes section the
Grand Trunk Western moves its cars
52.7 miles a day, out the Pittsburgh &
Lake Erie gets only 1913 miles from
each car. In the western region the
Union Pacific is shown with 50.3 miles,
and the Denver & Rio Grande 176
miles The inference is that the roads
with the shorter average mileage per
car should institute efficiency of opera
ton that would raise their records to a
point commensurate with the more sue
cessful roads.
But the truth is that the railroads Sc
lected for comparison traverse territory
entirely dissimilar in population, in in
dustry, and in contour. In every case
the road with the better apparent show
ing has far longer average distance
between stations, has less and more
widely scattered industries, and in at
least two instances the grades are
lower. Other factors enter into the
matter, all tending to show that there
is ample reason for the disparity in
car-mies per day between the roads. 1t
may be, as the railroad employees con-
tend, that greater efficiency can be OBJ
tanned in the operation of trains through
heavier loading of cars and by speeding
them up while in transit. Great i'm
provements along both of those lines
were made by the private owners of
the roads after they were received back
from the Government, but the limit has
been reached and further efforts in the
same direction would bring in the ele-
ment of safety.

GERMAN TOOLS IN DETROIT

ACERMANY to-day" says Charles
Nj. Schwab. els selling pneu-
matte tools in Detroit where formerly
we made such machinery and shipped it
to Germany to sell there cheaper than
she could make 1t. The difference is
solely a matter of labor COSTS" A
great part Of that difference is the ex-
cessive labor costs hanging over from
the war, but even after every defation
has taken place the American labor
cost would be far higher than the Ger
man, and competition with German
products would still continue. There is
a demand among the people of the
country that defation shall be applied
to labor as to everything else, but
there is no desire to push wages down
to the German level. But if they are
to be maintained at a reasonable point,
q protective tariff must step in and pro-
tect the American market from the in
undation of products made by the
cheap labor of the Old World.

watch YOUR FEET
important Matter Pertaining to
General Health.
Experts Advise Walking "lndian FASH
lon" In Preference to the "Toein0
Out" Which Has Hitherto
Been Considered Proper.

(short Talks on Health, by the United
States Public Health Service, Wasnlhs'
ton D. c.
Well-directed feet are now consider
ed to be quite as important to general
health as well-poised head or an erect
carriage. Few people seem to realize
that many troublesome ailments are
caused by fiat or weak feet, and at
tribute the nervous depression, pain IN
the legs and back and general fatigue
to some other cause, when the feet are
really at fault, says the United States
public health service.
Actual 'f1at foot" is much less COM
mon than is ordinarily thought. On
the other hand, "weak foot is very
common, and If not remedied gradual-
ly leads to flat foot.
Recent investigations have estaD-
Hshed the fact that "toeing OUT IN
walking, or standing, puts an added
strain on the arch Of the feet. Instead
of standing and walking with the feet
forming an angle of about 4o degrees,
ms formerly advocated in military and
athletic manuals, experts now adVo-
cate standing and walking with the
! toes pointed straight forward. Ihls
has been found to be of great assist
ance in remedying weak and flat fee1
and constitutes what is known as
walking Indian fashion"
"Toeing straight should be prac'
t,ced for little while, and 1t will come
easy. Make two parallel lines on the
floor, about six incEes apart, and walk
on them with the toe and heel touch
| ing the outside of the line. Follow TINS
| M with an exercise such as the fol-
| lowing: Stand with the feet parallel,
with about two inches between the
feet, and rise on tie toes anywhere
from 20 to 40 times each night and
morning. In standing acquire the
habit of placing the feet few inches
apart, with the same distance between
heels and toes. Keep the body weight
equally supported on both feet.
| Do not make the mistake OF bel1ev-
ing that fiat feet can be cured by the
shoemaker, or by Tire ordinary arch
that is sold in shoe stores. The con-
dition is one that should be treated by
an experienced physician when 1t falis
to respond to the measures outlined
above.
It is comparatively easy to remedy
tendency to weak Or fiat feet in chill
, dren by teaching them the proper
= walking and standing posture. Par
onts vould do well to teach their chill
dren to walk Indian fashion

selves to a high degree of power. the

son, extended from the Caucasus
mountains where he defeated the
Iberans, to the sandy deserts of Lydia.
He burnt Jerusalem; defeated Ammon,
Moab and Ednm &o.iquered Tyre, the
richest city OF tie ffIucnftiahs; laid
waste Egypt, and formed his empire
on new boundaries. He adorned Baby
