ROADS MUST DO
BETTER TO LAST
Cummins Tries to Show Cut
Prices Have Reduced
Costs.
STEEL RAIL PRICE HIGHER
President Willard Of the Baltimore
e. Ohio Gives His Views to the
Senate Committee-Agrees
With kruttschnitt.

Washington, May 17.-"If American
railroads can't do better this year than
last, they won't last very long" Chair
man Cummlns of the senate interstate
commerce committee told julius krutt-
schnitt. chairman of the Southern Pacif-
ic board, when the senate railroad In
vestigation was resumed. The wit
ness agreed.
Senator Cummins endeavored to
show that falling prices of materials
used by railroads were reducing costs,
but Mr.. Kruttschntt said he did not
have compiled statistics on the subs
jet. Steel rails, the largest item In
maintenance material costs, had In
creased in price during the last two
years.
Daniel Willard, president Of the Bal
timore and Ohio, was called to the
stand when Mr. Krnttscbnitt was ex-
cused temporarily.
He Agrees With kruttschnitt.
my views are generally in accord
wiah Mr. Kruttschnitt's on the rail-
road situation Mr.. Willard began.
''The railroads. when under federal
control were operated at loss, the
deficit being made up out Of the Treas
ury, and not being covered by in
creases in rates and passenger fares.
This has led to great deal of con-
fusion of thought on the whole sub
ject."
Mr.. Willard said be did not criticize
government operation as war meas
ure, but that private operation was
more efficient and economical
There has been some fear of diff
culties In financing railroads" he said
'and the provisions of the transporta
ton act assuring rates high enough to
pay on the capital may have seemed
merely academic, but | believe the
knowledge that roads would ultimately
secure this return under the policy
laid down has sustained confidence
among investors.
Complex Labor Problems.
'The labor provisions of the act
have given assurance of proper CON
sideration to railroad labor organlza.
lions, though complex problems re-
main to be worked out"
Mr.. Willard told of the condition of
the roads when returned to their own
erS, saying that while only per cent
of rolling stock was officially reported
as In bad order, '.ln fact. we found 40
per cent untitled to carry grain and
other materials"
THE condition now Is still II per
cent of ears In bad order" he said. las
against an allowable percentage of
per cent"
ut seems to me 1t Is very vital
thing to this committee to ascertain
how much Is due the roads from the
government for allowing this condi-
tion," Senator Stanley CDem., Ky.) OBJ

MAKE 1T A BUNDLE WEEK
Relief For Sufferers in the Near East
Urgently Requested.

Urgently requested.
Everybody in this county is asked
to get ready for make Bundle

during that week the Near East Re-
lief asks that every piece of clothing
and every pair of shoes that can be
spared by the residents of this county,
be sent to centers that will be desig-
mated later.
The cry for this clothing and for
these shoes comes from millions of
refugees in the Caucasus, Armenians,
Syrians and Assyrians and the people
of many other nationalities. Many
of these people are wearing tattered
rags, multitudes, including many little
children, are, in the mountainous
areas, barefooted in the snow The
tattered pieces of clothing that these
little ones wear, fail to protect them
from the cold.
Housekeepers, now at their spring
cleaning, merchants looking over their
stock, are asked to send any clothing
and shoes they can spare, on Bundle
Day. Merchants will find many shop
worn pieces-these are all available.
All the clothing collected in this
county and all the shoes, will be sent
to Baltimore to be baled. Then, thru
State Headquarters, at ii w. Frank
lin street, it will be sent to New York
for shipment overseas to the Levant
where so many await its coming.

MORE THAN BILLION
HAS BEEN PUT INTO
SAVINGS SECURITIES
REDEMPTIONS ARE GROWING
SMALLER AS WISE INVESTORS
RECEIVE INTEREST ON
THEIR MONEY

More than one thousand million
dollars have been invested in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates by wise and
thrifty persons in this country, &C
cording to an official report recently
compiled. OF this amount, over $780,
100000 is now outstanding, and in
vestments, are steadily increasing The
banner year, Of course, was 1918, when
there was strong patriotic appeal
Total sales for 1918 were S971,913,-
900 During 1919, when the sales cam
paign was based on national thrift
rather than patriotism, $165306, 600
was brought into the Treasury, and in
1920 the total was $43,S92,O00. Re
demptions to date include $37S,254,00O
of the 1918 series, $33,441,00 of the
1919 series, $S,0S0,O0O of the 1920 is
sues and about $135,OOO of the 1921
series.
officials of the savings division
point out that by far the greater pro
portion of the redemptions are of the
1918 series, which indicates that the
more recent issues are being pur-
chased by individuals who plan to hold
them to maturity.
The certificates pay 4 per cent. in
terest compounded quarterly, which is
equivalent to approximately Az per
cent. if held for the full Eve years.
Those who present the certificates for
redemption prior to the maturity date
receive about per cent. interest.

HARDING URGES
THRIFT AS AN
IMPERATIVE DUTY
SAYS RIGID AND SANE ECONOMY
MUST BE PRACTICED BY MA
TON TO RESTORE NOR
NAL CONDITIONS

The note struck by President Hard
ing in his address relative to the nee,
essity of putting our public house
hold in order" is one fraught with
meaning to millions of individuals in
this country who have made little eff
fort to put their private households in
good shape The urge of thrift and
economy is strongest with too many
only when a financial pinch comes.
Yet this pinch will seldom be felt if,
as President Harding says, we prac-
tice "a rigid and yet sane economy
attended by individual prudence and
thrift which are so essential to this
trying hour and reassuring for the fu-
ture."
Thrift is commendable at all times.
Individual financial emergencies are
continually arising and to set ones
household in order by planning a pro-
gram of rigid yet sane economy, at
tended by individual prudence and
thrift is to ward off the serious con.
sequences of such emergencies. Among
the millions Of American wage-earners
those who were thrifty have been least
concerned about high prices or bust
ness depression.
In getting a good work started, there
is no time like the present And in
getting the good work of thrift and
economy started, there is nothing like
getting interested in the Savings
Movement OF the United States Treas
ury Department The home Of every
American citizen who needs to have
his household put in order will be hap
