cent. The year 1923, however, resulted in a different story. Wages then rep resented 44.3 per cent of total operating revenue, material and supplies amounted to POI per cent, fuel to 8.4 per cent and net operating income to 15.3 per cent. The decline in the wage proportion, standing also for an actual decline, was not the result of lower rates. The only increased items of expense over 1920 were depreciation taxes and equipment hire.
 But the most striking feature of this improved situation lies not in the fact that, net operating income increased from $17 ,228, ,9O2 in 1920 to $961 ,955 ,456, a sum over 65 times as great, in 1928. It Is rather that this trependously greater net income came In the face of total operating revenue only Is per cent or $111 ,141 ,568 larger. In other words, the 1923 increase in total operating revenue over 1920 was responsible for only about 11.S per cent of the increase during the same period in net operating income. The remainder of the advance was the result of reduced expenses.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
HOUSEWIVES WHO
USE PAINT BRUSH

Every fall as well as every spring
there are inexpensive changes ana
brightenings-up that every woman
wishes to make in her furnishings,
continent or walls. Much of this
lefurnishing is accomplished with the
aid of amt brush. Starting out
without very much knowledge of
painting, the woman who paints has
ACQUIRED a store of useful informa-
tions, knacks of the trade and semi
secrets of success which ought to
be collected and passed along for
the benefit of those who undertake
new painting jobs for the fiist
time.
Now you will find women doing
such astonishing things ar secur-
ing plain-toned background for
a room by giving the wall paper
which may be faded and streaked
coat of flat paint in a lovely
soft, neutral shade of gray or
cream or grey green or whatever
the choice may be.
If the wall paper is inclined to
show through, shadowy, stippled
effect is obtained by holding dry,
round, rather stiff paint brush at
right angles to the wall and gently
pushing against the paint here and
there before it has chance to
dry.

effect and texture of finish desired
furniture is often painted with one
color underneath and another color
over this, all in the soft, flat coiors'
Briiliancy and ease of cleaning
