NEWYORK CENTRAL AUTO
SHIPMENTS INCREASING

The great automobile industry has
become in recent years more and more
a barometer of business conditions and
general prosperity, and IL ii is true
one just at this time, the shipping rec
ords OF the New York Central furnish
a significant forecast OF the returning
of better times.
February was banner month for
the loading of automobiles shipped by
manufacturers a various points t. th-
retail trade and even the highest rec
ords Of last year were eclipsed, During
the third week of last month cars
loaded with automobiles sverag ged 455
per day, as compared with an average
of 3s4 carloads per day for the month
of June, 1921, which was the best rec
ord made during all of last year. The
first week of February automobile car
loadings averaged 357 per day and the
second week the average was $50 per
day
The upward trend OF automobile
shipping has been continuous. the ayr
age loading per day for the month Of
January this year having been 305 car
loads These figures are for all lines OF
the New York Central system, which
serves practically all of the big auto
mobile producing centers OF the east
ern section OF the United States.

HAMMOND
GIRL REALIZES
AN AMBITION

For five years as an employe of the
insurance department of the First
Trust & Savings Bank, Miss Lilly Fed
der has tabulated mortality figures and
watched pretty closely the snip Of the
scissors of tho sisters called Fate.
But to her the figures represented
merely something transient in life.
They dealt with the ephemeral. the
passing. All about her she watched
the frantic efforts of physicians and
scientists to prolong huamn life, to
postpone the inevitable event called
Death.
While she tolerated the foibles OF
those who interpreted their destiny as
wholly mundane and material she
cherished hope that sometime she
might throw all--he- Aparsy into the
work OF interesting young peopie IN
the church. At last this dream has
been realized and beginning today she
enters upon her new duties as assist
ant manager Of the walther League
National Headquarters at Chicago.
And what will I do? What is ii
that I'm Interested in?n Miss Fedder
answered query with query. Then she
said THE purpose OF the Waltner
League is to assist in keeping our
young people with the church; TO pro-
mote Christian love and fellowship; to
make intelligent and energetic church
workers; to encourage the support of
charitable endeavors; TO promote the
systematic study of tho Bible; TO eStab-
lish hospice system for the welfare Of
fellow Lutherans and others wsho are
away from home. and to increase the
love for our foreign missions"
The Walther League is an organiza
tion of Lutheran young people within
the synodical conference. They have
recently purchased a two-story dwell
ing on Eggleston street. Chicago, to
which has been removed the national
headquarters formerly situated a. Nil
waukee.
Miss Fedder has been interested in
the work of the league FOL a number Of
years. For ave years she was secre-
tary of the Indiana district and for two
years she was national secretary.
