Packard Stock Dropped
From Detroit Exchange

DETROIT, Oct. 25.-Common stock of
the Packard Motor Car Company was
ordered dropped from the list of the
Detroit Stock Exchange to-day, the
board of governors holding that the ex-
change had not been given sufficient
notice in the declaration yesterday of a
dividend of per cent, payable to stock
of record to-day.
The suspension, announced as tempo
rary at the opening of the Stock Ex-
change to-day was made permanent
when the company declined to advance
the record date to tomorrow.

with Of Capitalization and Mileage

sIncluding outstanding leased line bonds.
Between 1912 and 1922 the operated
mileage has increased from 7,511 to
11,060, or Al per cent. The two main
factors contributing to this large in
crease In mileage were ~, the abb
sorption of the Puget Sound extern
sion, 2,0S0 milesin length, in 1918, and
(2), the acquisition by purchase Of
stock and the leasing Of the Chicago,
Terre Haute & Southeastern in 1921, q
line 361 miles in length.
One reason why st. Paul stockhold-
ers have Jared so poorly in recent years
may be accounted for by the very large
increase in funded debt compared with
infnitesimal increase in capital stock
during the ten-year period. An In
crease of some $12,000000 in annual
fixed charges proved too great handi-
cap when the relatively low earning
power of the Puget Sound extension is
taken into consideration.
Estimated Property Value
The estimated property value of the
company (including Chicago, Terre
Haute & Southeastern is 1924 100000.
Assuming the outstanding funded debt
and preferred stock to be theoretically
retired at par, there would remain an
equity of $78,000,000 for the common
stock in estimated property value, or
$68 a share.

If the management Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul had not en-
barked on the ambitious program Of
building a 2,000-mile extension to the
Pacific Coast it is probable that the
company to-day would be showing q
large earning power on moderate
would stand In high regard anong in
vestcrs, as formerly was the case.
The Pacific Coast extentior, however,
has SO far not come up to expectations
as a producer Of traffic and has proved
to be drag upon the system rather
than help. The losses that have been
incurred in recent years through the
payment Of unearned dividends, and
through the traffic slump
of 1921, which bore with especial Sc
verify on Northwestern roads, coupled
with comparatively slow recovery
from the depression, have SO far weak
ened the company's position that it's
securities can hardly be accorded bet
ter than a speculative rating except,
perhaps, some of the best Of it's under
lying mortgage bonds. A brief analysis
Of the situation follows:

Our slow progress Is due to the defective care
OF children. A few have too much, which spoils
them, exaggerating their Importance to them;
selves, removing the greatest of all incentives,
NECESSITY.
The great majority have too little. They
are neglected because their parents have no power
to do otherwise. Teeth, bodies, digestion, lungs
eyes, MIND are not properly cared for And so
it takes thousand years to do what might be done
In one or two generations
The effects Of heredity, strength and weakness
inherited from parents move slowly. For heredity
changes us slowly and acquired characteristics"
are inherited, II at ALL VERY slowly
Because the baby is the greatest asset Of the
present and the entire HOPE OF THE FUTURE
the mother Of that baby Is the most valuable
servant and defender of present and Of future
HONOR THE MOTHERS that first give life
to the child, and then devote their lives to that
child with all their strength of mind and body and
with incomprehensively deep and beautiful
strength of heart.
Among the old Romans, held in highest vener.
alton, lived the "vestal virgins" Selected for
their beauty, rank, and aristocracy, these young
girls were withdrawn from the ordinary life from
marriage child production, and normal happiness.
They took vow Of eternal chastity And
when any one Of them broke that VOW and was
caught, she was Immediately buried alive
Highest honors were paid them. When

theory which held the mother responsible for the
chlld's baptism put the birth Of the child on
record, and made infanticide more and more rare
A little, new, helpless mass, soft bones tender
sdn loud cries, exacting troublesome, such is a
human infant. But 1t is THE MOST IMPOR.
TANT THING IN THE WORLD.
The fortune teller looks In your hand, or your
face, or to the stars as they were when you were
born, or into crystal globe to know your future.
he sees nothing although he pretends to 500
much.
But in the newborn baby, the growing infant
and child, multiplied by many millions the earth's
fortune" It's chances, its future prospects are to
be read as clearly as though printed in largo type
Starved infancy means q starved next gen
Grafton. That is the big problem Of Europe, Of
Russia and Of other countries.
Children with education neglected mean An
inefficient, backward next generation.
The future generation In the United States
Will be in its intelligence power and progress
exactly WHAT THE BABIES OF THE United

Compelled to live unnaturally, in return Vi
usual and unnatural honors were paid to them
The task Of the vestal virgins was to keer
forever burning the sacred flame. Night and day
they watched kept the light burning. Never
must it 60 out.
Whether that sacred light went out or not
really made not the slightest difference. Tht
Romans thought to keep it alive was religion
duty We know now that they got the idea from
their ancient ancestors, living in caves, wander
ing in the rain, having no matches, no flint and
steel" often without fire for long time.
For those primitive people in every land the
most important work Of all was NOT TO LET
THE FIRE 60 OUT. AS they travelled from
place to place they took fire with them And the
most highly valued man was the one that couli
steal fire from another tribe. From that simpl
story came the legend about Prometheus bring
ing down the fire from heaven, the story tha
appears in some form among all savages.
Whether those vestal virgins Rept the lamp
burning or not meant nothing
We have in our civilization body Of women
That really DO keep sacred and NECESSARY fire
burning. They are the MOTHERS that keep the
tiny fame Of life going in the bodies of their babies
They care for the little flame before It sees the
light Of day, they give it care and love before its
BIRTH and to the very last hour of their own lives
THEY ARE THE MOTHERS, the creators
Of to-day's hopes, the guardians Of to-morrow's
achievements.
Wherever mother gives faithful devotion
to child, there is the hottest temple on all this
earth. There burns in the childs frail body and
the mothers warm heart the eternal fire Of life
and progress and hope.
The baby is the king Of the world And the
mother is the queen, the creator and the guardian.
To honor and protect the mothers and the
children THAT is the highest duty Of all gov.

The thing i'm YOU that is most important
most powerful, ON which everything depends,
is that which has no shape, weight, nothing
that you can see feel. The waiting earth
received its verdict, for good ill., from the
tiny feeble baby generation. 1T rules the FUTURE
Upon the young human infant past history
and future accomplishment wait.
Only the mothers know what the baby
amounts to- but fortunately THEY know.
