That is the final decision of the

Furthermore. 1t is one green" team

both schools are using raw. unframed
athletes who never donned the uni
forms of football before. But the
season is young. Neither Potsy Clark

Football authorities agree that a

that it needs time to season. Each
part must adjust in an automobile
just like each man in the line and
backfield must adjust himself to his
particular position.

Today's game is the first either

Return of 6 Per Cent Was In
tended by Commission.
AN IMPROVEMENT IN JULY
Was the Best Month for Car
riers Since October.
Net Operating Income Increased
An IMPROVEMENT IN JULY
Net Operating Income Increased
$17,OOO,O0O Over June.

the net railway operating income
for July of the 202 class one railroads
of the United States amounted to se9,-
465,OOO, which is a larger sum than
they have earned in any month since
last October, according to the reports
filed with the interstate commerce
commission. 1t also represents an in
crease OF S17,000.000 as compared with
June.
The earnings for July. on the basis
OF the tentative valuation fixed by the
interstate commerce com mission for
rate-making purposes under the trans
portation act, would be at the annual
rate OF return of IA per cent. This
is S23, 900 for the month less than
the roads should have earned as the
normal July proportion of a per
cent return, which would be $93.267-
600. Fifty-seven of the roads failed
to earn their operating expenses and
taxes for the month. In June, seventy
two roads failed to earn expenses ond
taxes.
The total operating revenues for July
amounted to s462,953,000, which was
a decrease Of $66.O00,00 or 1919 per
cent, as compared with July, 1920,
altho the rates are now on a higher
basis. Operating expenses were $780,
10000. reduction of S151.000,000,
or 20 4-1O per cent. The net operat
ing income compares with a deficit of
s11,S7S,OOO for July, 1920.
How Expenses We're Reduced.
The large reduction in expenses is
attributable to several factors. It re-
fleets the effect of the reduction in
wages ordered by the railroad labor
board. effective July 1, but it olso
represents the effect of the drastic
curtailment of maintenance e1pendi-
lures, and it is to be borne in mind
that the figures for last July, with
which comparison is made, included
some back wage payments.
For the eleven months since Sep
TENDER 1, 1890, when the guaranty
period expired. the net operating in
come of the class one roads has been
$43S. 100000, which on the basis of
the tentative valuation, would be at
the annual rate of 2.6 per cent,
or $570.00O,00e less than per cent
return intended by the commission.
For the western district the operat-
ing revenues in July were S1S3,70S.-
900, a decrease of II $40 per cent;
the operating expenses were $780,
TS1. 900. a decrease of &c 40 per
cent, and the net operating income
was $S3,7S1, as compared with So

WOULD ELIMINATE THE JAR
New Type of Car Stop Invented Relics
Upon Friction.

One of the leading railroad publlca-
tons announces that a new type of
car stop has recently been Introduced
which relies upon sliding friction to
prevent cars from passing beyond the
ends of stub tracks rather than upon
the impact chara cteristic of the rigid
humping post.
The device, called the Breyley
bumper. consists of two cast stel
shoes. each of which has long bas"
capable of sliding on the rail. to witch
it is held by Tugs engaging the rail
head, and an upper surface shaped in
such a manner that when in place on
the rail a wheel striking the shoe
mounts it and is prevented from over
running it or rolling back. With the
FORWARD wheels of the moving car
thus carried on the two shoes. or the
entire forward truck if the large size
shoes are used. the shoes are simply
carried along by the moving car until
the energy in the movement is alb
sliding of the shoes on the rails Under
the weight imposed upon them.
In order to guarantee a certain stop
under all conditions the equipment
also includes, two stop blocks, which
are attacked to the ends of each rail,
and for cases where more than thirty
feet of rail length is desired for sliding
distance, special fish plates are pro-
vided for installation at the interven-
ing rail point to permit of the pas
sage of the Tugs which hold each shoe
to the rail. Aside from affording a
certain stop to moving cars without
damage, this type of car stop is said
to be of advantage in affording warn
ings to trainmen before the cars are
beyond control inasmuch as a car in
mounting the shoes experiences a de-
cided altho not severe shock.
