FREIGHT SAVING
IS CLAIMED
BY |. c. c.
Shippers Gain Half Billion by
Reduction Made Last July,
Is Report.

The freight bill Of American ship
pers will be more than half a billion
dollars less this year than it was last
year because of the 10 per cent rate
reduction ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission July /, 1928,
according to an estimate made today
by the commission in its annual re-
port to Congress.
In order to give the new rates q
trial, the commission stated, no fur
Their general investigation of rates
has been made. The commission
pointed to three noteworthy facts
in the country's transportation his
tory during the current year. These
ere:
Volume Sets Record.
The unprecedented volume of traf.
fic handled.
The concurrent transformation Of
a car shortage condition into one Of
car surplusage.@
An exceptionally equitable distri-
button of available equipment over
territory In which the large traffic
movements originate.
The report called attention to the
fact that the railroads handled more
freigh traffic during the first niuo
months of 1923 than during any pre-
vious corresponding period, the net
ton-iniles OF revenue and nonrevenue
freight being reported as 343, 796, T99.-
900. This represents an increase Of
2.9 per cent over the same period Of
1920, which was the previous high
mark.
Net Earnings Grow.
The marked business revival of
1923 has greatly augmented both the
gross and net earnings OF the car
riers as compared with the EARNINGS
in. the depressed years. 1921 and
1922" the report said.
I'm the calendar year 1921 the
operating revenues OF class / steam
roads amounted to $5,573,153,198,
and that net railway operating In.
come, which Is the amount from
which fixed charges and dividends
are paid, was $615,945,614. In 1922,
In spite of strike troubles and the
rate reductions effective in the mid
die OF the year, the operating reve-
nues increased to $5,617 .252, 656, and
the net operating income to $776,-
665, $50.
The Improvement in the net earn.
.ngs Of the carriers has by no means
been equally distributed among the
individual systems. The recovery
from the depression of 1921 was more
marked in the eastern and southern
districts than In the western dis
trict.'
Many Serious Accidents.
During the year ended June so,
1928, there We're 119 collisions and
derailments, in which 285 persons
were killed and 1876 injured.
The need for continued effort to
prevent railway accidents with their
great loss of life, injury to persons
and destruction of property can
hardly be overstated," the report
said.

increase the power of these two
men, even IL they do not. regain
control Of the government.
In the background, an unknown
quantity. stand Ramsay Macdonald
and his Labor cohorts. No one can
say just how Labor will fare in
this contest. In the last election
Labor made surprising strides and
became Of the party of the opposi-
ton. If Labor makes equal prog
ress in this election there il q
chance of Labor coming into con.
troll Of the Government
On the other hand, the Labor
party in this election has to face
reunited Liberal party, and there
Is a possibility that the Liberals,
whose votes were split in the last
election. may take sufficient seats
away from Labor to depose that
party from its place as chief op.
position OF the government.
Elections Are Tricky.
When polling started the
strength OF the contending parties
In Parliament was as follows:
Conservatives, 1872: Labor, 144;
Liberals, III; Ulsterites, II, AMI
others, 8.
If the Liberals and Labor cam.
blned take fifty seats away from
the Conservatives it will mean that
stanley Baldwin will have an un.
workable majority in Commons and

even on election day, but the best

seems to be that the Conservatives

There are no signs Of anv de.

The Washington times., 1923-12-06

Many previous Presidents have
thankfully received large passages
OF their messages from intimate
advisers and even from casual con-
tributors who happened to think
that a certain thing would be q
good thing to say. and who happened
to be friendly enough or forward
enough to send 1t to the President.
Some presidential messages have
been like a long freight train with
all sorts OF cars contributed from
all sorts of origins and simply
hitched together behind one loco
motive with their original freight
still in them.
Method Highly Different.
President Coolidge's method OF
accommodating a message is highly
different. From authoritative In.
formation it may be described as
follows:
First the President listens to an
endless multitude OF callers; and he
virtually never has any real desire
to have them give him thair ideas
in writing. He prefers simply TO
listen 1t is thought that perhaps
in the period OF time since he be-
came President he has listened to q
larger number of words than any
other President in any equal num-
Der OF months.
Roosevelt is the only ether Presi.
dent who perhaps in that same
number Of months ever received so
many guests at the White House;
but, since Roosevelt spent so much
of the time saying words to the
guests, it il regarded here az GER
tain that Coolidge-day for day
and month for month-has listened
to more words than even Roose-
welt himself.
That is the first stage in Cool
idge's writing of a message. The
second stage ID dumb mediation.

DR.. B. j. Palmer, president of the
Palmer School of Chiropractic,
Davenport, Ia, spoke at the Jeffer-
son theatre Monday night. The
chiropractic treatment were ex-
planned by DR.. Palmer.
Using as illustration the fact that
electricity cannot flow through a
wire which has become shorted, DR..
Palmer stated that in the same man
ner the life force cannot flow
through a human being whose nerv-
Gus system has become shortened.
The purpose of the chiropractor, he
said, Is to remedy the defect. Dis
cussing the speed with which the
science of chiropractic had advanced,
he said that the profession of medi-
cine was so encountered with tradi-
ton as to prevent innovations.
Tuesday night at o'clock att he
jefferson, Mr.. Palmer will talk on
the systems of success of great bust
ness men. No charge will be made
for his lectures.
Over 5000 pupils are enrolled at
the Palmer school at Davenport, Ia.
The buildings cover four city blocks
and are filled with up-to-the minute
equipment for carrying on the work
of instructions, he said. Over half
of the present practicing chiro-
practors are said to have graduated
from the Palmer school. B. J. Palm
er's father, D. D. Palmer, was the
disciverer Of chiropractic.

"SOME WILD OATS" AT
ALCAzAR ALL WEEK IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Picture Is Called Strong De-
nunciation Of Social
EVil

Much favorable comment has been
brought forth from the welfare fed
erations of the Southern states on
the subject Of a social evil, such as
is treated in Some Wild Oats" the
picture feature how showing at the
Alcazar theatre.
1t is said that no picture has taken
up the fight against the social evil
in such forceful manner as has
Some Wild Oats" although several
so-called sex productions have been
exhibited throughout thu country.
The production has its comf ort,ng as
well as its gruesome side, and thows
what steps are being taken to scamp
out this scourge.
1t was Endorsed and supported by
the better films committee and wom-
ems clubs of Atlanta, New orleans,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Charleston,
Augusta, Birmingham and score OF
other southern cities where the pic
ture was witnessed at private ex-
hibitions to determine its acceptable
ity.
Some Wild Oats" pictures the ex-
periences of young man deter
mined to have his last fling" before
entering the service of the govern
ment. 1t portrays in frank man
ner the subject of the social question
that has so long been kept under
cover" Aside from It's entertaining

cational and enlfghteninE.

At TMN LYRIC

Perhaps the feature Of the five
acts of Keith vaudeville opening at
the Lyric theater Monday night was
not so much the appearance of any
one act as superior to the others IN
making characteristics as the
fact that all were good. None OF the
acts was capable of producing mirth
to the point of hilarity yet all were
worth a good laugh sometime De-
tween the beginning and end.
The skit staged by Maude Powers
and Vernon Wallace was especially
to be commended because of the
cleanliness with which the sketch
was put on. Several of the jokes got
over in good fashion without neces-
sarily depending on any immoral in
ference, while dancing was depend
ent more on skill and grace than
on any particular physical display
Joseph X. Watson in "A Disar-
rangement of Faces" got by fine
which nevertheless drew down the
applause of the audience. The last
act on the program, Fred and Anna
Henning. in THE Handy Folks" de-
pended for applause more on the
novelty of the act than on the origii
nality or skill with which the skit
was staged. BY ringing in q profess
sional from the audience. they were.
however, well applauded for their
efforts.
Miachula Brazilian tight-rope
wonder. and the Surprise Boys"
WEIGH, Mealy and Montrose. in
comedy dancing, also were well ap-
niauded. The film feature OF the
show was 1.-THE Amazing Lovers"
featuring Dianna Allan, and Marc
McDermott.
