up the average movement OF cars
and build up coal storage ahead of
time SO hat cars would be available
for the peak period.
All these detectives have been sub
stantially attained, says Mr.. Gray,
who calls the showing remarkable.
Specifically, the statement points out
that the roads increased the average
daily movement Of freight cars from
% miles per car per day in 1921
to 29.2 miles; they reduced the
number of locomotives and cars re-
curing repairs to 1877 and 81 per
cent respectively; and stored more
coal than in any previous year. "In
fulfilling this program" Mr.. Gray
says, ~"134,636 new freight cars and
2,963 new locomotives were put in
service during the first ten months
Of this year, a larger number than
in a similar period within the last
decade"
The roads are spending more than
a billion dollars this year, says the
statement, for new equipment and
other improvements, thus fulfilling
for the first time in ~ years the
prophecy Of James ]. Hill, the great
railroad builder of the Northwest,
that the roads must spend a billion
dollars every year to keep abreast
Of the cauntry's growing traffic.
Such expenditures" says Mr..
Mr.. Gray. "have a vital bearing on
national prosperity. contributing to
the expansion of industry and en-
ployment Of labor. increasing the
demand for the products Of mine,
fOroct and for~O
AS though anticipating the infer
ence that these extraordinary expen-
ditures are being met out of the cur
rent earnings, the statement says
that this $1,1O0,000, 900 being spent
for additions and betterments is
almost entirely new or borrowed
money and that the expenditure is
predicated on the inherent faith in
the American people and their desire
for fair play. Even this year."
says Mr.. Gray, ut is unlikely, not
outstanding the record volume Of
business, that the roads will earn
the SIS per cent on their valuation
which the law and the Interstate
Commerce Commission permit but
which Is not guaranteed because il
they do not earn it they do not get
it, The statement ends with the
reminder that "anti-railroa6 laws
produce no freight cars" and the
usual request for constructive sug-
gestions from readers.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractivcncss

Common garden sage brcwed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Just few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading,
streakcd or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea
and Sulphur recipe at home, though,
is troublesome. An easier way is to
get bottle of Wycth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
fimc-recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it docs it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
!, sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and lllxuriant.
