A total OF 1.162,629 cars and

Bureau OF Safety Of the Interstate.

fiscal year ended June 80. 1928. or
approximately $4,000 more than
during the preceding year. Director
w. r. Borland, reported to the COM
mission today.
The number Of defects for 1000
cars and locomotives inspected was
10O.31 as compared with 1854 for
the preceding year, or an increase
Of nearly 100 per cent.
This serious increase in cars
having detective safety equipment
is largely attributable to lack Of
maintenance resulting from the

which are being gradually reduced. :
Borland said.
He called attention to the fact

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Profit.
taking in recent speculative favor.
ties and heavy selling of shares of
grain carrying railroad companies
featured the first two hours trading
on the stock exchange today. There
was nothing unusual in the reac-
tionary trend in the industrial Sec
ton, the heaviness in the highly
speculative shares like Schultz, To-
bacco Products and Mack Truck be-
ing the result OF an overbought no
sition and. good absorption power
was evidenced on all recessions.
As a group the steel shares were
distinctly heavy, with Steel common
registering a half point loss in an
ticipation of an unfavorable ton
mage statement to be published at
noon. Stocks of companies operating
in Mexico like Pan-American, Mexl-
can Seaboard, and American Smelt-
ing and Refining, appeared under
moderate pressure, due to the latest
revolutionary successes, but fluc-
tEations were trifling compared with
the wild gyrations which formerly
followed the good and bad fortunes
OF Mexican rebels.
Receding movements, however,
did not prevent the continuance of
constructive activity in some direc-
tons. Dawson Chemical displayed
an excellent tone, buying being
credited to a strong pool. Some of
the motors were able to push far
Their ahead while Savage Arms,
Westinghouse Electric and Ameri-
can Ice were confidently bought.
The weakness in the rails, es-
pecially in the northwestern group,
appeared to be based on renewed
fear of drastic rate legislation by
Congress.
Prices OF rail stocks dropped
rapidly in all standard issues, es-.
pecfally Chicago and Northwestern
and Great Northern preferred.
The approach of the noon hour
witnessed a revival Of buying in the
oil division, led by Marland and
California Petroleum. Call money
renewed at AZ per cent.

The following letter was received
by the City Editor. 1t is printed eX-
actly as received. without comment.
Last night l saw the widely adver-
tised picture. The Flirt". at the OPP
era House. On behalf of many girls
who must feel the same as do, ]
want to say that think Mr.. Tarking-
ton is very unfair to the young wo-
men of the country. Many of the So
called modern girls have had educa :
tional advantages that their parents
lacked. and it is only natural tina,
they should try to educate their fam
lilies so that they will be fitted to
meet the girls friends.
Don't think that / do not appreci-
ate all that my folks have done for
me. but one can't be blamed for try
ing to get out of a rut. How can a
girl strive to better herself if she has
to get in and help with the family
housework. If she turns down many
invitations she will simply be forgot
ten by friends.
Personally l sympathize with Cora
in her efforts to get ahead in the
world and think Mr.. Harrington has
drawn a mean picture of the Ameri-
can girl.

The decree of the commission says
in part:
There appears to be no serious
dispute between the parts as to the
facts in this case. The only question
at issue, as we see it, is the question
between the company and some of it's
customers as to the actual quantity
of water service rendered by the
company to such customer. and as to
the amount of money which such
customer should paid for the service
