COMPARING COSTS OF FREIGHT HAULS
Auto Truck VS. Railroad Is Basis
 Of Survey

Increased development of inter-cAy motor truck transportation in Connec- ticut has raised the question of com parative costs of operation of automo- bile and rail haulage and this is one of the problems that the L., s. burau of public roads is trying to solve through the aid of traffic census just completed in cooperation with the state highway department
 The prime motive of the survey of highway transportation is to secure data concerning the character of travel over the roadways which will enable engineers to suit the particular roads foundation to the peculiar needs of traffic over the highway.
 Speaking of the situation created by the evolution of themotor truck in transportation, ]. Gordon Mckay, highway economist Of the |. s. bureau of public roads, in a preliminary re- port of the Connecticut experiment., says:
 Some of the promotion literature advocates the increased development of highway inter-city transportation
 
 to the comparative economics of oper- ation or an economic knowledge as to whether this new transportation factor should be a supplementary or compe- titiyc agency to existing transporta- ton systems, and is usually colored by desire to create or extend markets for the sale of the instru- ments of highway transportation.
 "The rapid development of motor transport organizations engaged in the transportation of freight during the war period of rail congestion was the real beginning of inter-city trucking. This recent expansion of highway freight transportation has directed the attention of railroad operators to this new 'so-called competitor.' Particular attention is directed by the railroad management to the taxation of the railroad investment, n portion Of this revenue being used for the construc- ton of highways. paralleling rail lines, which it is pointed out by the rail management, provides a right of way for a competitor.
 "The enthusiastic promoter of in tcr-city transportation or frelght by motor truck insists that the motor truck will relieve the rsil lines of an unproiitablc short haul of less-than- carload freight and reduce operating and terminal charges, As Il matter or fact the terminal problem is confined to limited number Of cities and is not applicable to the country as whole. The rail terminal freight costs of New York city are the exception rather than the rule. The elimination of less-than-carload freight transpor- iation in the short haul zone may bo desirable, but it will not necessarily reduce the fixed and operating cNpcn- ses Of rail freight stations already in existence as long as industries in its tributary area continue to originate rail car.load freight, and passenger. express and mail service must be maintained"

Miss Pankhurst is right when she declared last week in New York that the world is in the grip of the evil one, and that tho battle Of Armaged- don and the return of Christ will take place within about 25 years. Every line Of Biblical prophecy has been or is in the last stages of pulfilment," de- rlared Evangelist F. l.. Cardey in Ly- ceum theatcr yesterday afternoon. Another interested audience was pres cnt to hear the Evangelist speak on the Doom Of Civilization and the Soon Coming Of Jesus Christ" Among other things he said.
 "Thoughiful men on every hand are asking the question relative to the outcome or the present world crisis. Mr. Baker, former secretary of war. said few days ago that spirituality is dying out in the world. After five years Of peace the dangers of war are greater than "vcr befor". Tho perpioxities of the nations are greater with the auccecding months.

OVER 5000 LICENSES
 HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED
State Motor Vehicle Department Has Been Vigorous in Dealing
 With Offenders

Following the announcement that mlion dollars was done by l7.000 mo- tor vehicle accidents in Connecticut last year, Of which at least 1000 were due to bad driving, tho state motor vehicle department has disclosed that it suspended the licenses Of 5,236 operators during tn" year.
 The suspension total for 1928 was nearly three times as large as that for tho previous year, when i,S5j operators were deprived of the right to drive motor vehicles on the public highways Of Connecticut, and nearly live times as large as the 1921 total, when there were i,1Si suspensions by the commissioner of motor vehicles.
 Increased rccklcssncss in the early part of last summer led police court judges to impose more jail sentences for tho offcnsc than ever before and, in an additional cffor, to check dan Irrous driving, tho motor vehicle de- partmcnt inaugurated a policy oi EiiGHNlhlilE iN'iiotS lbl HI GA NphNit~ tions for reckless driving. Consequent ly, over i.e0o of the total number of suspensions for the year were for this offcnsc. and 773 were for driving while under the influence Of liquor. Only 39s were suspended for the latter offonse in 1922, while t1o licenses were taken in for reckless driving.
 Al least a dozen Of tho suspensions ordered by the commissioner arc likely to have the effect Of permanent. ly disqnailying the operators involv- cd for driving motor vehicles in Con nccticut, as the suspension order may bc reversed only after a hearing be- for tho commissioner. These operators have been repeatedly involved in avoid able accident for which they have been found responsible by tho depart mont. which has considered that the public safety demanded their removal from the highways as operators of motor vehicles.
