EFFICIENCY
INCREASED
Association Reports Gain in
Campaign for Greater Car
Loading and Mileage.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The eff
cheney campaign of the railroads IS
progressing steadily, a report today
of the American Railway Assoc1a-
ton said. The aim of the roads, it
was said, was to have a car move
ment of thirty miles car day,
car loading thirty tons, and to bring
the cars and locomotives in need OF
repair down to minimum by the
fall
The largest traffic in the history
of the railroads was hauled in June,
the report said.
For the week ended June 30 they
loaded 1921, no cars with revenue
freight, exceeding by 1921 cars the
largest previous weeks loading i'll
history.
New Equipment Added.
I'm the first six months of this
year rs, 240 new freight cars were put
in service and 1898 new locomotives,
leaving $685. freight cars and 1902
locomotives still on order July 1.
bad order freight cars have been
reduced from 216,O11. or 9.5 per cent
on January 1, to 190.411, or "a per
cent on July /.
bad order locomotives have been
reduced from $40, or 24.1 per cent
on January 1, to 11,450, or 10 per
cent on July /. Locomotives in
need of heavy repairs have been
reduced from 1857, or oil per
cent on january 1, to 1926, or
1872 per cent on July l.
Shop Work Increased.
I'm the first six months of
1928 an average of more than
$4,000 repaired locomotives were
turned out Of shops each month
against an average of only about
81 900 for the first six months of
1922. In June over 1900, 900
freight cars passed in and out of
the railroad repair shops of the
country.
Average loading of a car was
increased from 27.s tons in April
to % tons in May.
average ualsy movement OF all
| freight cars has been increased
from 27.9 miles in April to 2St
| miles in May.
Reserve bituminous coal stocks
of the railroads have been increased
from 6,75G.8S6 tons on January ]
| to 10,667371 tons on July 1 which
reserve is approximately as great
as the railroads were able to &C

Service.)
NEW YORK, July 20.-Yester-
days sharp rise was continued to-
day to a moderate extent in the
first two hours trading on the
stock exchange This was especial
1y true of the railroad stocks, which
shared in a minor degree in the
advance of the past few days.
Judged by the unprecedented
amount of traffic which was
handled by the roads during the
month of June, earnings statements
for that month promise to equal
or even surpass those of previous
months Expectations to that effect
were reflected in the accumulation
of railroad shares among which
Rock Island A1e St. Paul and Erie
issues were most prominent.
Trading was fairly active at the
start, many issues scoring further
advances resulting from buying
orders received before the opening.
Buying soon tapered off, however
and dullness set in. Some profit
taking developed in many parts OF
the industrial list, but the manner
in which offerings were absorbed
was most impressive, and en-
couraged renewed constructive &C
tivity, as soon as pressure was
lifted.
The action of various stocks sug
gested a resumption of pool opera
tons, which were suspended since
the market started upon its pro.
longed decline some months ago.
American Can, Mack Truck, Coca
Cola and Baldwin enjoyed intervals
of decided strength with Mack
Truck registering the largest ad-
vance.
Pan-American Petroleum con
tinued to be well bought, and more
interest was attached to dealings in
Producers and Refiners, which dis.
played strength throughout the
session.
Steel, copper and sugar issues
ruled STEADY, but improvements in
these groups were confined to
fractions.
Sentiment continued cheerful in
the second hour, although. the trad
ing pace slackened somewhat in
the noon period. The undertone
however, remained distinctly firm.
Call money renewed at 5 per cent

BUSINESS MANS
BONDS SEEN

Roberts Shows How Better Re-
turns Are Secured by Care
fuI Purchasing.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
fcopyrirht. 1898; by Cosmopolitan
News Service.l

NEW YORK, Oct. "A fine
point of distinction is being drawn
today between prime securities Of
highest investment rating and what
are popularity known as business
mems bonds. To the latter group
belong many industrial bonds yield
ing from 61s ito per cent, but de-
pending largely on current earnings
OF the issuing companies for their
neriodic interest and amOrtizing
payments.
"a business mans bond, !" because
Of its more lucrative yield, and
other conditions surrounding its is
suance, is not necessarily less safe
than a prime bond. It's tneoretlcaI
rating NAV not be as high and Its
market standing is subject to the
varying reports and statements Of
dull and active business, OF profits
ard losses, Of prices and inventories.
But precisely as successful bust
ness man must be an expert in se-
lecting his materials and gauging
his markets, so must he exercise
the same good judgment In selecting
his securities.
He viii not select the bonds Of
steel companies Unfortunately
when the steel industry is gcraping
the bottom OF q business depression;
nor will he be attracted to the bonds
Of a copper or shipping company
which has passed the dividend on
its. preferred stock. While such
bonds may have valuable tangible
property behind them, the prospect
Of defaulting interest payments>
suggests protective committees and
court action and no shrewd BUSH
ness man will ''buy into lawsuit. "
If he exercises keen Judgment in
purchasing bonds Of companies
which are about to pass from q
period Of depression into one OF
prosperity he will reap a double re-
ward in receiving q higher-than-
market yield on his investment,
and a moderate profit from the
enhancement in price Of his pur-
chase. He. viii avoid speculative
bonds, some of which though offer
ing a return OF as high as Is per
cent, win in all probability make
gOO0.

vitality interested in thu economic
and political developments In Tur
key. Greece and adjacent states.
The interruption of American i'm
port trade with these countries IL
due as much to the complete revo
luton in European politics and
trade relationships as it is to in
ternal dissention in the smaller
countries directly affected.
Stabilizing Factor Lost.
Before the war, Germany con
troIIed practically all the industries
of the Near. East; and the other
European countries, assured OF
stable economic conditions, were
quite willing to abide by this CON
dition. With the necessary with
drawal of Germany, and the ap-
parent inability to find satisfac-
/. tory successor to her, conditions
: In some of the richest producing
areas Of Turkey became chaotic,
with a consequent falling off In
production Of many valuable world
commodities.
It is hard to determine whether
political or economic problems in
Greece, Turkey and other Balkan
countries are to be the more diff
cult Of solution, but there is no
doubt that Greek trade Is curtailed
by reason Of the uncertain political
conditions there, and the imminence
Of the general date Of election,
December 2, the result Of which will
have an important bearing on the
future of the country.
Hopes for Economic Stability.
1.-THE future development of trade
between Greece and her former
world customers" said Ulysses d.
Gallanos, president Of the Gal
1anos Trading Corporation, import
products, depends upon the de-
gree OF economic stability which
can be infused into these countries
by domestic and foreign influence.
STake for example the election
IN Greece, December 2. It is known
that powerful British and French
interests are allied financially with
the present government, and its
defeat at the polls would mean
the withdrawal of large sums Of
money now invested there"
Mr.. Gallanos points out that
American exploiters and capital
lists are received with open arms
in Turkey and Greece and other
adjoining states, for the reason that
this country is practically the only
source of new capital for develop
ment work.

AUTOS KILL SNAKE

STAFFORD, Del, Oct. "a
Drivers of automobiles, using the
State highways considerably, say it
is becoming a common sight to
find snakes Of various species lying
dead along the highway. Motorists
attribute this to the fact that when
the snakes attempt to cross the
highways, they are unable to before
a car whizzes by, crushing their
lives out.
A Seaford travelling man said that
one day he came across at least
half dozen dead snakes lying on or
near the highway, where they had
been tossed by the wheels of pass

GIRL ATTORNEYS TEARS
FAIL TO SAVE CLIENT

HACKENSACK, N. j., Oct. "a
Despite the pathetic appeal to the
jury here late yesterday by Miss
Ann B. Hogan, a young woman
lawyer Of Jersey City, a verdict Of
guilty OF murder in the second
degree with a plea for leniency was
rendered against TheaI Robertson, a
negro brickyard worker of Little
Ferry, who a few weeks ago shot
and killed John Barnes, also a
negro.
1t was Miss Eogan's first appear
ance in a criminal trial, her two
years as a lawyer having been con-
fined to chancery cases. Miss
Hogan, who IS small in stature and
only twenty-three years old, was ia
tears near the close of her plea
that Robertson had shot Barnes In
self-defense.
