How Do the Gals Stand III

"The thing that puzzles me-" re
marked the observant citizen who was
watching passersby during the rain
storm, 'ls how these girls who work
in stores and offices manage to go
through a fall season and live to tell
about it. Look at the kind of foot
covering they wear. The slippers
have soles as thin and porous as pa
per. In addition style DEGREES an
upper that is, in many cases, cut so
low at the ball of the foot that acci-
dental stepping into shallow pool Of
water on the pavement would result
IN a soaking wet foot. In nearly every
instance the girl wears silk stockings
that are as thin as an Isadore Duncan
dress. Why, If man wore that kind
Of shoes and hose his nearest Of kin
would be collecting on his insurance
policy about the time Of the first snow
fall.--Detroit News. !

The Progressive |. C. r. r.

The freight traffic by the Illinois
Central System in 1922 December
estimated) was 16, 100000 net ton
miles, an increase over 1921 Of
more than 81 per cent, according
to statement by President c, H.
Markham.
Last year began with a business
depression and ended in period
OF business activity that carried
the tide of traffic on the Illinois
Central System higher than ever
before, the statement said.. During
the first six months Of the year, an
average of Lice, 9,065,5O0 net ton
miles of freight per month was
handled, In july the Illinois
Central System handled ,311, ,564,-
900 ton miles,in August 1,649, $685.
600 ton miles,in September $780,
OG6, 600 ton miles, in October
1859, $4,000 ton miles, and in
November ,703,662, 900 ton miles.
The October business was the
greatest in the history of the
Illinois Central System.
The handling of this mounting
tide Of business was made possible
by the loyal teamwork of the
employees of the Illinois Central
System and the splendid cooper
alton received from our patrons"
President Markham said.
Despite the unsettled condition
OF business during last year the
Illinois Central System spent
approximately $25, 50O,O 900 for new
equipment and improvements to
prepare itself for the future needs of
its patrons. OF the total amount
expended, 100000 was for new
equipments ard $3.50 900 went
for improvements, including re.
duction of grades and construction
of new main line and yard tracks.
Many shippers suffered losses az
a result OF inadequate transporta-
ton during the latter part of 1922,
Mr.. Markham said but their Losses
will not be in vain if they serve
to teach the American public the
necessity Of having an efficient, well
equipped transportation machine
and if the public comes to the
realization that to have such q
machine the railroads must be
regulated constructively.
Some of the prominent antag-
onists OF the railroads are expected
to make efforts during this year
that will, if successful, place
further restrictions upon the rail.
Dads, making it still more difficult
for them to take the STEPS neces-
sary to forestall further transpor-
tation shortage Mr.. Markham
said. Farmers, business, men,
wage earners and all other ella ;ses OF
'ur population should be active in
opposing these efforts, because
their interests in the stake of ad .
quate transportation are just as
great as, and in some instances
kgreater than, those of the railroad
men themselves"

Periiwiinkle
House
BY OPIE READ

AOluOh VI
n Kentucky Colonel" n Tennessee
Judge" "7he Jucklins," etc
A MOTHER tale of the old South
by Americas greatest story
teller. Mr.. Read is the last of the
able novelists born prior to the
Civil war. He was old enough
during that conflict to have a
clear recollection of it and to
retain some accurate impressions
of ante-bellum times. AS re-
suit, he has been the romantic
historian par excellence of Dixie.
"Periwinkle House" is not a long
novel; rather, a noyelette, but il
is the latest work Of Opie Read
and therefore an event in liter
AZURE. 1t contains some new
manifestations of the authors
humor and philosophy, some
character types, love story, and
treatment of episodes, all en-
tirely different from anything
heretofore written by him. Read
ing it is like turning back the
pages of time and going into an
earlierandmore romanticperiod.
