contributed their best to the devel-

COOLIDGE WORSE A.
DECLARES DOCTOR
Condition of Father of President Il
Now Considered Serious; Heart
p..vSss More Pronopaced"

unnecessary activity.
DR.. Cram asid that Colonel Cool

was not as well as he had been at

RAILROADS REDUCE
COST OF LIVING
Average Time ON Shipments Nearly
Cut in Half of What it Was
Year Ago

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 1.-THE rail-
roads have reduced the cost of living.
Sounds funny, but it's true. Here's
how it was done, figure it out for
yourself.
Last year, the railroads of the
country, as figures made public here
show, the average time in transit was
nearly cut in half. This automatically
reduced the amount of raw material
which manufacturers have to accum-
ulate in advance of PRODUCTION. 1t re-
duced stocks which wholesalers and
retailers must maintain in order to
carry given volume of business. The
effect was to lessen costs of produc-
ton and distribution and to diminish
the possibility of overproduction and
consequent unemployment.
Practically every element of cast
in the production of transportation
has increased at least twice as much
as railroad rates have advanced, At
lanta executives state. But the rail-
roads by liberal capital investment
for additional facilities and equip
ment and by increased efficiency have
been able to meet present costs out
of rates which advanced only about
half as much as costs have.
Due to the increase in plant in
vestment and efficiency in operation,
heads of railways here assert. The
railroads of the country have been
enabled to reduce rates since 1920
to the extent of at least 700 millions
of dollars a year.
