GROWTH OF ROCKS

Rocks do not grow in the sense
that a plant grows. They may in
crease by accretion, and they may
undergo chemical change. The old
sea bed, being lifted up, becomes
sandstone and limestone. The vol
canic ash and lava strewn over the
plains become tufa, hard enough for
building stone. The pebbly shore of
river becomes conglomerate. The
simple mineral does grow, however,
when it takes crystal form. The
sparkling prism of quartz increases
from an atom to a crystal as large as
forearm by a process of addition
and assimiltion, wonderfully slow,
but beautifully regular, exactly as
crystals of ice form on the window
pane

CAPACITY OF THE HORSE

Endurance is the horses weakest
point Ten hours day is often as
sumed as his working period. Au-
thorities claim that eight hours is
better, or that six under heavier
load will accomplish the same volume
of work with less tear and wear on
the horse. The average farm horse
cannot be depended upon for more
a day, nor more than four to six

ten years OF 1000 hours each. The
average farm horse will do well to
develop 500 Horsepower hours per
year, or 5000 in ten years. About
twenty per cent of thu horses
weight may be taken as his maximum
sustained draft and six 10 eight miles
per hour his maximum sustained
speed for anything more than an
hour or so per day. The draft horse

TRANSPORTATION IS
COUNTRY'S PROBLEM
Serious Shortage In Railway FaciI-
tiles Curtails Shipping;
7. G. Normal

Y. ~ NOIUtst
The transportation shortage still
exists, but the Illinois Central Sys-
tenn was more efficient in October,
1922, than ever before in its history,
according to statement to the pub
lie by President G. II. Markham.
Each freight car on the Illinois
Central System moved an average OF
1915 miles per day during October.
The average included all cars on the
railroad--those awaiting loading or
unloading, those out of repair, and
those being switched in the yards,
as we'll as cars moving in trains.
Previous to this year the best record
was established in October, 1920,
when the average movement was
44.59 miles per car per day.
The statement by President Mark
ham credits the cooperation of ship
pers and consignees in loading and
unloading cars more promptly and
loading them more heavily with
helping the Illinois Central System
TO make new efficiency record this
year. but he points out that there
Is still room for improvement
In October, lumber loading on the
Illinois Central System was only 59.S
per cent of the maximum capacity OF
the cars loaded, Mr. Markham says.
Mixed feed loading was only 54.s
per cent. cement loading was only rs
per cent, cotton-seed products load
ing was only 562 per cent, flour and
meal loading was only SO per cent,
sugar loading was only 62.2 per cent
and stucco and plaster loading was
only 1873 per cent of maximum car
capacity.
Mr.. Markham says that there is
no completely effective remedy Tor
the TRANSFORMATION shortage in the
immediate future, but there is an op-
portunity for improvement thru more
intensive use of the present limited
facilities. Cars should be loaded
and unloaded more promptly and
loaded more heavily. Freight cars
snend more than one-third of their
time in the hands of shippers and
consienees. mainly because soacing
and unloading is not done the same
day cars are received.
The remedy for future shortages
of transportation lies in greatly en-
larging and expanding railway facili-
ties of all kinds, Mr.. Markham says.

WASHINGTON COMMENT

Reduce the overhead" is a sound
maxim for increasing the profits of
any business. One way to reduce
the overhead Is to use the plant or
office sixteen hours a day instead of
eight or ten Hours a day instead of
five. And II the plant" happens
to be public school, the rule no
less holds good.
The community with good school
buildings which does not utilize them
for some good purpose outside Of the
normal five hours of school, five days
a week, is not making as much profit
kon it's investment in those schools as
might be had.
Many communities use their
schools for Americanization purposes
In the evenings. There are thous-
lands OF foreigners in this country
Nwho are eager to be of, as well as In,
the land OF their adoption. They
hunger for American ideas to
transform that hunger into one for
American ideals is as fine work as
be done In a school.
1t costs little; IL II cost much, II
would still be worth II. To take
those OF alien birth who know moth
ing Of the Stars and Stripes save that
they form the flag of America, and
teach them that for which 1t stands
Justice, federation, regilious free
dom. liberty, safety OF person and
property, decency, chivalry to the
weak. TO instruct them in the funda-
mentals of American history, let
them learn OF Washington and Lin
coin as something else than names;
give them a chance to go out IN our
strenuous economic life fitted to cope
with Americans on a basis OF mutual
Americanismf that is to reduce the
overhead on the schools on one hand
and pay great dividends to the state
on the other.
