See Higher Rail Earnings.

Executives are now estimating prob
allie railroad earnings for September.
Aggregate net operating income for Sep
tember, 1921, amounted to sS7.174.000.
and it Is generally believed by local
operating heads that this figure will be
exceeded because OF the larger amount
Of freight offering. Most expenses Incl
dent to the shopmen's strike are under-
stood to have been taken care OF last
month, consequently with the resunp,
tIon of coal mining at normal rate the
revenues to the carriers are expected 70

nounced weakness in any department of play, her chief forte lies in shots near the basket and her alertness and accuracy have won many points for the team. Mildred Carroll is the ideal center, and in the opinion of follow CTS of the team has outplayed every opponent she 11as met this year, even Miss Perkins of the Devopettes, one of the best centers in Fairfield Coun- ty coming out second in their en- counters. Miss Carrolls passing has been a feature of most of the teams games, particularly in the first game against the Devonettes in Devon.
 On most basketball teams the guards are treated like stepchildren- Girls team. Elizabeth Roach and Catherine Crehan who have played at guard for most of the season are al- ways accorded Q generous share of post mortemS, after each game, and the followers of the team attribute it's success largely to their capable de- fensive work. Their covering up Of opposing forwards has been a factor in every game played and has kept scoring down to d r:linimum. Gather inc Crehan is @ member of the var sity squad at Bridgeport High school and her services will be lost to the team for the remainder of the sea- son. She will be distinct loss to the team. The playing of Elizabeth Roach, the other guard, has been one
  games so far and has added greatly to the following of the team, with whom she is an especial favorite.
 The coach of the team since it's or- ganization has been Miss Elizabeth Crehan, who was a forward and man ager of the Bridgeport High school varsity team in 1918, winners of the McNeil cup, and recognized cham pions of southern Connecticut. The record of the team speaks volumes for her ability.
 The organization of the basketball team was the first athletic activity of the Catholic Community House and is expected to open the pathway for participation dn other forms of athletics when the new Community House is erected The publicity given the team IIaas resulted in making the other activities of the Community House better known as well as pre- viding helpful recreation for the members of the team. An index of what the Catholic Community Girls hope to accomplish when the new House is erected was fur nished when the basketball team went to New Haven Armory last Sat | urday night after winning from the 1 Nationals and annexed a handsome silver trophy in a, relay race.

 Opinion of Experts
 The following quotations from a lecture recently delivered at the Army War College by Colonel John Army in an official bulletin. viii p show @ what the opinion of military experts on the sukdect is:
 Tt has been the practice of the United States upon the outbreak of war to expand a small professional peace establishment into great non professional war army. These ex- pensions have always been perfected without any perpeuity of doctrine or perience generated in one expansion could be utilized in the next Or, to put it another way, at certain crises in our history, with vast expenditure of treasure and human energy, we have erected a great war organiza- ton and then have demolished that organization after the emergency. without any provision for making investment After being forced to militarize a whole generation we have taken no precaut1on to make the sacrifices of that generation heritage of experience for the next generation that may be ca1ed upon to bear the stress of war.

 '.At the outbreak of the Civil War we had no national military system and such military knowledge as we had was concentrated in a limited number of trained soldiers, most Of them in the Regular Army. with a few others in civil life who had served in the Mexican War. It sud- denly became the mission of these men. without preconceived plans, to fmpart that knowledge to vast citizen armies.

Pari, March 17-The organization of trips to the battlefelds has been q failure, state important touring agencies. Whereas, tn 1913, figures showed that visitors to the country and the French people themselves were very keen to visit the scenes of fierce battles, today no one is attra cted by the lavish propaganda sent ont to visit the ruins.
 These touring companies suppose that not enough attractions remain for the visitor. Debris has been cleared away, and souvenir hunters usually leave disappointed. In many parts the ruins no longer exist, for new villages have sprung up, and new roads have been built. Even trees have been planted which in many sectors have completely chang ed the appearance of the land from one of b1eakness and destruction to a land of prosperity. While the bat tlefelds were still an attraction fig ures showed that moro Americans and British visited them than any other nationals In three years barely 156,- 900 French people visited them-

Kansas City, in Center of Air Lanes, Leases Field
 for Flying Junction.

Kansas City, Mo, March 17.-kan- sas City, in the center of future ar planes east and west and north ana south, will become a prominent ar port this summer.
 The first step has just been taken. the leasing of a la,nding-f1eld ninety acres in extent, a great level pia1n amnIe to meet all requirement for the biggest and fastest cruisers or the air. The field is the same tract used ast Fall for the big flying meet heid in connection with the American Le- zion convention. It was nothing put an emergency field then, but In sp1te of this over 100 airplanes used the field during the meet, more than 5000 passengers were carried, full pro- gramrne of speed and stunt events was carried out daily, and yet not an acccident occurred.
 awakening for this city to the needs of air navigation, and the city will shortly be placed on aeronautica1 maps as having one of the finest fields and airports in the country.
 Commercial Lines Projected.
 Commercial air lines between Kan sas City and Chicago and Kansas City and Denver are already projected, and vide air transportation from the city of Tulsas Okla, and points south. If the United States aero mail lines are extended mall planes will tap the croSs-continental air-n1ai1 route at Omaha, only a two-hour ''hop" to the north by plane.
 The first building operations at the field will be an office building, to in clude a space for oil and gasoline sup plies. and a portable steel hangar, 60 by 100 feet, which will accommodate twelve planes of average size.
 Requests for other hangar space have already been made to the Fly ing Club of Kansas City. through whose efforts the airport has become a certainty.
 Three airplanes from Arcadia Field, Fla will be used in @ school of in- struction in flying to be conducted by former army fliers.
 The Huff Daland Corporation. of Ogdensburg, N. Y, has secured hangar space and will ship machines here for demopstration, purposes.
 Other hangars will be occupied by local aviators.
