STATEMENTS OF RAILWAY OPERATIONS are often misunderstood and frequently
msquotd on the public platform and in published articles he following information
is given to assist in securing clearer understanding OF the term employed in stating
the results of railway operations.
RAILWAY OPERATING REVENUE: This consists of all revenue received by the rail-
way for transportation services including hdght passenger mail, express and other
allied serwces. This a@in includes revenue arising from storage, demurragea and other
activities incident to the performance of transportation, in fact, all revenue growing
out of the transportation activities of a railway ~M
RAILWAY OPER4 RATING EXPENSES are hose expenses incurred in connection with
the performance of transportation services including maintenance of liked property
locomotive and cars together with the Expenses of wages fuel material and supplies
necessary for the movement of traffic but not including axes or payments for the
use of other cOmpanss'e qupmenta ndp property sdj jointly.
NET REVENUE FROM RAILWAY OPERATION is the railway operating revenue de-
fined above less the railway operating expense
NET RAILWAY OPERATING INCOME is the naIr revenue from railway operation less
facilities used jointly TIish he amount whch her railway company realizes from it's
transportation activities md is available for the paymen of entails of leases lines sand
interest on Indebtedness; the remainder, if any, may be carried to surplus or applied
to dividends ..=#. .<..
REASONABLE RETURNS: The transportation Act requires the Interstate commerce.
Commission to ascertain he value of railway property and name a reasonable rate
of return upon the same. Thisra rate they have fixed at 5A pc cent A railroad
whose value has been acerfnedb by the Commission to be 100 million donars,an and
whose" met railway operating income is 5% million dollars annually, is receiving
the reasonable return of ~ per cent upon its property, as fxedb by the Commission
The net revenue rom railway operation should not be confused with net railway
operating income The necestyof this is appare when it is realized that the net
revenue from the railway operation of all Class railways in the nteds aes in the
year 1922 was s11HO51Is5e while the net railway operating income was but. $3.50
s45517 a difference of s3s51O56sS.
All the railroads in the United States are required by law to make reports under
oh of their activities to the Interstate INT Commission un the terms above
which are prescribed by that Commission These reports are on lie in the Com
missions Offices at washnstona and are available to the public. -

moral values, as / mentioned
earlier in this chapter. And to my
mind that first experience is Of inn
portance in considering the UNI
pleasant experiences that show
girls fall heir to later on.
The next day the process is re-
peated, and after several days an
imposing collection of pretty
women is ready for the judgment
of the producer, who makes the
final selection.
For this test the candidates are
dressed in gauzy stage costumes
and arranged on the stage. Out
of the thousands of girls who have
applied there are a handful left.
Some of these are rejected in the
last tryout.
The show rehearses several
weeks before the opening-weeks
in which the chorus girl must live
as best she can, since salaries are
hardly ever paid during rehearsals.
The most magpanimous managers
pay no salaries for the first four
weeks of rehearsal, when they put
the girls on half salary until the
show opens. But in any event,
those are trying days for the ma
jority of show girls unless they
have the platonic help of sympa-
thizing men of means.
Even after the show opens, the
girls are sometimes dropped and
replaced by another and perhaps
prettier girl, and as this process
of elimination continues (eight
girls were dropped in one city dur
ing the time | was With the "F'ol-
lies') the reader can easily see
that the distinction of being an
"ex-Follies" girl is rather common
among a certain class of young
women.
For a few months the girls
have been the petted and popular

less thousands-are now recog-

with the "Follies" for Ave or six
years. My wife, for instance, has

Dick laughed. It was the first
really genuine laugh he had en-
joyed since the day he left Sais'
house in Cairo.

gratefully. "But you do see

there, and another from her

years before.

At least, things were always done

She was big, silently moving,

or had been, strange fires under

into a comfortable cane chair on

Had It been possible to keep him
in the frame Of mind which In
spired that cry he might have re-
turned to England forthwith.
But long before they sighted
Khartum and very long before
they reached Luxor the impulse
OF discretion had expended itself.
He had consulted HOodless. It
is one Of the penalties Of normal
youth that it ever shirks, uncon-
sciously, arriving at its more seri-
GUS decisions unaided, or nm
advised, even though it may dis
dain the aid offered or the advice
given.
The adventurer had made light
OF everything.

comes the heavy father life would
be q solemn business. All these

It was no part Of the complex
plan of HoodIess that Dick should
leave Egypt yet.

nary mans way. Here you are

to help her. Some day, and prob
ably before long, she will be back.
She may need help she will cer-
tainly expect gratitude and thanks.
That's only fair i needn't tell
you that, Dick, for you are more
punctilious In such matters than

10 CENTS A POUND HERE.

Sugar was selling in most of
washington's retail grocery stores
for 10 cents q pound today, an in
crease of little less than cents
a pound since January /.
One large chain store, which makes
speciality of attempting to UNDER
sell its competitors. was offering
10-pound packages of the best gran
ulated sugar for 73 cents last jan
uary. This is the lowest that store
has sold sugar this year. Today. the
same grade is 10 cents.
While no grocers could be found
who would predict a drop in prices
in the near future. all agreed another
boost is most unlikely. Some are at
tempting to force lower prices by
rationing their customers, hoping by
this method to cause, large quantities
to back up In the warehouses,
