$4,000 FREIGHT CARS
IDLE IN RUHR REGION
SINCE The OCCUPATION
Stagnafion Rampant In
What Was Busiest Spot
in Germany.
BY the Associated Press.

Berlin. April 23.-Rust is forming
on the wheels of approximately Co.
600 freight cars lying idle in the Ruhr
and completely withdrawn from traf-
fic.
This picture of stagnation in a dis
trict which was the busiest spot in
all Germany before its occupation by
the French and Belgians was drawn
hy General Wilhelm Groener. federal
minister of transportation, in a state
ment TO The Associated Press.
Asked regarding the extent to which
German rail traffic in the occupied
territory had been affected by the &C.
cupation he pointed out that up TO
January II, when the troops arrived,
tie Ruhrs daily demand for freight
cars averaged $4,000. while now it
amounted TO only 5000.
The occupation authorities had for
hidden the Germans to take out any
empty cars and had so restricted ex-
port. that, according to General
Groener. the Ruhr is threatened with
a serious congestion of idle rolling
stock.
The French and Belgians," he
said. ARE anxiously taxing pains TO
permit no news TO reach the public
with regard TO accidents which occur
on the lines militarized by them. New
CItheless a great number of more or
less serious occurrences have become
known.
Collisions, sideswiping, trains
over-running bulkheads. due to false
switches, and derailments have been
and are every day occurrences.
"Twentyeight persons lost their
lives in collision between Duessel-
dorf and Kettwig on February IS, and
PC died in another collision near Ho-
hcnbudberg. Altogether the number of
soldiers and horses killed through the
militiarizcd operation corresponds
with the losses in a large sized Skin
miSh."
Replying to question as to recent
pass deportations of German rail-
waymen, and the affects of these.
General Groener declared that these
had been pure measures of force. in
dcfcnsible under the Rhincland agree
ment.
Railway officials he continued. we're
expected through force TO betray their
oaths to their own governments.

for Europe to secure cheap American
cotton in order that European gov

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
To BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW

1t has been quite q while since I
wrote you, dear Bee, but ! have really
bad nothing very pleasant to write.
In fact, I was a little bit ashamed to
write and tell you all that is in my
mind and heart and 1 knew that if
sat down to talk to you on paper
that is just what 1 should do.
OF course you know that Sam is
regaining his eyesight rapidly and,
strange as it may seem, think / am
happier with Sam blind than I am with
him seeing. I presume 1t is because
we are both so arrogant. Sam insists
that I shall do exactly as he wishes
me to and I insist that I shall have
some individuality and opinion Of my
own. We split on that rock con-
tinually.
1t has almost come to an open rup-
ture again, dear Bee. and I would be
very miserable were it not for Sans
cousin, Jimmie Congdon, a young man
whom Mr.. Hamilton took on to be

eyes. The boy is charming I have

Do not write to me to be careful and

you about my own affairs. Like
everybody else nowadays l am much
Interested in the movies. In fact, that
is about the only amusement that I
allow myself. OF course Sam cannot
go, consequer tly I seldom go to them
in the evening. But usually I take

but all moving picture titles are
silly, don't you think?
am writing to you about it be

Dick is working. I'd like to know
more about that girl who took the
principal part. There was something
about her that seemed real. | knew
OF course that il Dick were there he
had written 10 you all about her.
The story is one Of a girl who finds
that the man she has loved for
year or two has married girl in his

DRIED BEEF

Ca HAT do you keep on your
IWI emergency shelf? Tuna fish,
salmon. dried beef and bacon?
There are more expensive meats
that can be included in the array, but
dried beef is a good old standby that
is not expensive and can be used in
a variety of ways.
Whenever dried beef is used it is
seldom necessary to add salt to the
dish. The beef salts it sufficiently. If
the beef is too salt 1t should be
freshened carefully. Let stand in cold
water for an hour. Drain and dry be-
tween towels.
Home cured dried beef makes de-
hcioUs supper meat without any fuss
ing. Slice very thin and serve like
any cold meat.
The dried beef on the market in
glass jars is very good and there are
many brands from which to choose.
This sort is more expensive than the
meat in the bulk, but so very con-
venient to have in the house that the
extra expense is warranted.
Scrambled eggs with dried beef is
