from the struggle and thus unfit him for it. And.

HERE'S OTHER SIDE
But all do not agree with DR.. Strength. Here's
the view OF the opposition:
THE only child if properly spoiled. is the most
successful person.
Where there are many in the family the
rious elements have to compromise. They have
to give and take. They become accustomed to
having to compromise everything. And when
they enter life they continue in this path.
1.-THE only child, on the other hand, has never
had to compromise. He has had his own way and
he will not compromise when adult life is reached.
He may not fit into society but by his selhshness
and determination forces society to fit him.

inferior. but it almost always socially deficient.
From lack of experience he does not easily get

DOWNS MAKES
STATEMENT ON
RAILWAY COSTS
Thinks 1t Important for Public
to Understand Facts of
Railway Earnings

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. 2O.-De-
claring that it is important for the
public to understand the facts about
railway earnings, President L. A.
Downs of the Central of Georgia
Railway in an interesting statement
gives Information concerning matters
of this nature. He states owners of
railway property are in posi-
ton considerably less favorable than
they occupied prior to the World
War as regards current returns on
investments.
Mr.. Downs explains that the rail
way Improvements necessary for
handling the increasing business of
the country are financed by borrow
ings, and that this means increased
interest charges. While railway earn
ings have increased during recent
months, the enlarged interest charg-
es have cut off the stockholders from
a greater share in those increased
earnings.
The Central of Georgia Railway
has since 1916 invested $9,573,0 900
in improvements to the road, and
$7,614,0O0 for equipment. This a
total of more than S17,00O,O00 for
improving facilities for public serv-
ice. Yet in those eight years, the
net Railway Operating Income of the
Central of Georgia has increased but
$475,000. The owners of the prop
erty would have received more had
they placed the money in the savings
bank at four per cent. han they
did receive by using it in the public
serv4ce.
Mr.. Downs says that a decrease in
either the volume of traffic or the
present rate level would tend to i'm
pair railway credit and hence en-
danger the present high standard of
service.
He declares that the investor in
railway property is showing his faith
in the future, and that this faith will
be justified by continued freedom
from such legislation or regulation
as will arrest the recent improve
ment in the railroad situation.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-"One was

Five hundred of these grim signs
have been placed on Chicago streets
in the campaign against further
deaths of children from automobiles.
There were 545 deaths from auto
mobiles in Cook County for 285
days this year or an average of more
than two a day. Many of these
tragedies involved children as thou

In 1928, the year before the

there were 564 deaths. This years
total is expected to mount to much
higher figures.

There is always the market proper,
