How Expenses Grew.

In taking up the ratio between oper-
ating revenues and operating expenses
of the roads of the country as a whole
Mr.. Shriver pointed out that the ex-
penses in 1911 were 6914 cents in each
dollar OF revenue. and in 1916 It was
1884 cents in each dollar. In 1920 the
expenses covered 94.3S cents i'm each
dollar over the country, and the ratio
this year Is 1882 cents in each dollar.
Mr.. Shriver told the commission that
while a favorable showing was made
by the carriers in 1916. with a corre
spending increase in averages over that
period. consideration should be given
to the fact that an abnormal condition
in traffic existed then which is not
likely to occur again.
In showing where the money had
gone and explaining how. with vastly
Increased operating revenues in four
years. the operating expenses had in
creased at far greater pace, Mr.
Shriver pointed out that the total wage
increase in the four years was s2.193,-
967,27S; that the cost of coal and fuel in
creased $452,229,229. or a total for
both items OF 646.196,5o7.
'"rhe increased cost in these two
items alone" he said, was greater than
the entire increase in revenues to the
carriers. The other Increases in ex-
penses amounted TO only 1927 7.S70,I 1877. or
n total increase In all expenses of
ss,4T4 ,066.704. The increase in expenses
In 1920 over 1915 was sS92.544,424 which
brought down the net operating income
to s147,54O,093. From the latter item
should be deducted the sum of $125,s7s,-

DAY EXPRESSIVE OF 4 NATIONS
 GRATITUDE

Turkey and cranberry sauce, crisp and football are in the air at the very mention of Thanksgiving, writes Mar guerite SamueIs in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
 But football and too much dinner are not, in the final analysis, all of Thanksgiving There is a deeper, in spirationaI side to the day set aside through three hundred years of Amer ican history as the great national celebration of gratitude.
 Do you remember the simple story of that first Thanksgiving day as you read it in your primary reader? And the thrill of thankfulness for national greatness and goodness that came to you as your chubby fingers drew de- formed turkeys and rOund-eyed Pill grim fathers on the school blackboard?
 It was in 1621, the fall following the landing at Plymouth, that the Pil- grims celebrated the first Thanksgiv- ing day The little colony, one hun dred and two souls who had fared westward from England for their con sciences sake, had weathered the storms of the Atlantic and the worse hardships of a New England winter, and they had won through at last to sort of ty-comparatively speaking.
 Back from the rocky cOastline of Massachusetts, with its thunder of limitless waves, a little group of log houses crowded together behind the tall stockade, feeling safe in their nearness to each other
 Garnered corn filled the barns and the stOrerooms of the houses were pungent with ripe apples. The colony felt firmly established in the New World of it's seeking. Even the silent footed Indians had begun to under stand that there was room for them and for the pale faces too. The de-

vout Puritan spirit of the travellers in the Mayflower felt that there was sufficient cause, for thanking God.
 The First Thanksgiving.
 And so it was that the first day of organized thanksgiving was set. The whole little colony, in it's best buckled shoes and high hats, with blunder- busses across square shoulders, sallied forth from the stockaded homes through snow to the log church, there to give community thanks for the free dom of their stern lives.
 Outside, the Indians crOuched be- bind the frs and beeches, watching and wondering.
 From the Pilgrim colony, the custom spread to others in the New England states. In 1880 the Massachusetts Bay colony set aside a day for thanksgiv- ing. and frequently thereafter, until 1880, when it became an annual festi- val in the colony
 Connecticut appointed day in 1889, and annually after 1647, except Tn 1875. The Dutch in New Neither lands set aside day in 1644 and oc- easiOnally thereafter. During the War of Independence the Continental con- gress appointed one or more thanks giving days each year, except in MT. President Washington set aside Thurs day. Nov. 26, 17S9, as day of na- ional thanks, and again in 1795 he called the country together for such a celebration. President Madison, at the close of the War of 1872, appointed a day.
 In New York state, from 1877 on, the festival was annual.
 In some of the southern states a na- tional Thanksgiving day met with op- position as relic of Puritanic bigOtry, so utterly at variance with the Cav alier ideals of the southern colonists i; but by 1858 prOclamations were issued by the governors of 9 states and two territories.
 Is New England Festival.
 Perhaps it is natural that the South, so far in thought and experience from the colonizers of New England, should. even yet. be less whole-hearted in it's celebration of Thanksgiving than is the eastern section of the United States. With its commemeration of hardships of 1920, with its ceremonies of the harvest. Thanksgiving is essen- tially New England festival. And to see it truly carried out, yOu must see it there.
 In Massachusetts, 1t is the signal for great family reunions. From Cali fornia, from the high seas, from the neighboring town, the sons and daugh- ters and cousins and aunts and uncles foregather at the old homestead on Thanksgiving day. With the first snowfall of the season. generally scheduled fer the last week in Novem- Der, the roomy' sleighs and the vast bearskin rugs are hauled out of their summer mOthballs; and from early morning until noon, there Is gay jingle of sleigh bells going and coming between the railroad station and the farmhouse.
 After the dinner-a tremendous af- fair-the old people sit half dozing about the open fires, telling.stories of the New England that is gone.
 Do you remember?" says one; and they are off in a glorious reveI of recollection of their own youth, when automobiles were unknown. and Bos- ton might have been 1,5O0 instead of 15 miles away.

deeply wrapped in fur coats and rugs already had dashed off along the slippery roads to Cambridge and 1.-The Game"
 The Harvard stadium on Thanks giving day was a view of serried rows of excitement never to be forgotten. The grey rhythmic curves of the coli scum all flamingly gay with banners and flowers and girls holiday hats. Along the Harvard section, red roses and crimson sweaters bloomed in the menagerie of fur coats and rugs. Where the Yale contingent cheered for the bulldog, the blue of Parma violets was like a twilight mist along the rows of spectators.
 A whistle-and the game is on. Tensely leaning forward, the S0,O00 watch as if life and death were being decided in the arena below. At the first touchdown the winning side goes mad with joy. Flags wave, arms and hats are promiscuously pitched about, perfect strangers pat other perfect strangers on the back; and thrilled girls shake hands with boys they never saw before.
 Meanwhile the snow comes down softly. in a powdery rain, and the final goal sees frozen hands and feet res lively glad to race off to warm dormi- tory teas, where the victory is cele- brated in English breakfast. or the defeat drowned in orange pekOe, cakes and laughing chatter.

 Mir. Young explained that the reason why the conditions in some homes become so horrible before the society Is informed of them is because these families usually live in very isolated places. They are known to those of the community as funny" and nobody associates with them , or even goes near them. Some of these ! cases reveal that one or both of the par ! ents may be from stock whose ancestors
 were of high type. Through shiftless- ! ness. drinking and isolation they had gone to seed" The pathetic factor In
 such cases is that there are generally e | number of children. who are the chiei i sufferers. aa1 it is these the society de.
