where popular enthusiasm is at
its height literally millions are
being appropriated for the develop

Twenty years ago anyone VINO
had nredicted the present traffic
nnon our roads and streets would
have become the object OF rldl-

regarded in some quarters as the
venturesome hobby of a few ana

ing 1871 tons of freight for the
distance of one mile. This figure
represented an increase of AZ per
cent yer the 1911 average of 1861
ton-miles. This increase, accord
ing to the report, presents one of
the problems which the railways
are solving and must continue to
solve for the public welfare. That
is. not only must the railways
keep their facilities apace with
the growth of population, but they
must further make the necessary
provisions to furnish efficiently
the ever-increasing freight service
which the average individual is
demanding.
Unlike the freight service, how
ever. the passenger service per-
formed per i~nhabitant by the rail
WAYS has shown a marked decline
in recent years. In 1911, this ser
vice was equivalent to carrying
each person in the United States
on a trip of 346 miles. This aver
age had increased to AL miles in
1919 and 44O miles in 1920, after
which a great drop occurred, due
principally to motor vehicle com
petition. In each of the last six
years. the average passenger ser
vice performed by the railways
e inhabitant has been less than
in 1911, the lowest fgure-3O3
miles or a decrease of II per cent
below 1911-being reached in 1926.
In addition to the foregoing in
formation included in the yearbook.
sections are devoted to the railway
plant and equipment, to railway
service, rates and earnings, to the
employees and their wages, and
to the increases which have been
made in recent years in the eff.
cheney and economy of railway
operation.

THE RAILWAY YEARBOOK

With less than eight per cent
of the worlds area and with less
than six per cent of the worlds
population, the United States has
more than SO per cent of the
worlds railway mileage. This is
one of the striking facts presented
in the annual railway yearbook
which has just been issued by the
Western Railways Committee on
Public Relations at Chicago.
AS showing the magnitude OF
railway operations in this country
this yearbook contains some in
teresting and Illuminating infor-
nation regarding the operations of
the railways in an average hour.
In one hour, on an average, the
report states, the railways spend
more than S530,000 in operating
expenses, pay more than S336,OOO
in wages to their employees Cmuch
of this total being included in
operating expenses), and pay more
than $4,000 in taxes to national,
state and local governments. In
an hour more than 5000 cars are
loaded with revenue freight on the
railways lines, the total freight
loaded in this period amounting to
more than 10000 tons. Likewise,
$4,000 passengers, On the average,
board the railways trains each
sixty minutes. When the distance
which this freight and these pas
sengers are carried is considered.
it appears that the average ser
vice performed each hour by the
railways is equivalent to hauling
more than fifty million tons of
freight for the distance of one
mile and to carrying more than
four million passengers for the
same distance.
AS regards the importance OF our
railwcv rs to the individual citizen,
the Yearbook shows striking and
significant figures of the average
service rendered per in
labitant. Last year, for example,
he freight service received, on
n average, by each individual in
he country was equivalent to haul

WORK

My son, remember you have to
work. Whether you handle pick
or wheelbarrow or a set of books,
digging bitches of editing a news
paper. ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must
work. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself by over-working on the
sunny side of thirty. Men die,
sometimes, but it is because they
quit at nine p. m. and don't go
home until two a. m. It's the in
tervals that kills, my son. The
work gives you appetite for your
meals; it lends solidity to your
slumber; it gives you a perfect
appreciation of a holiday. There
are young men who do not work,
but the country is not proud of
them. 1t does not even know
their names; it only speaks of them
as old So-and-So's boys. Nobody
likes them; the great, busy world
doesn't know they are here. So
find out what you want to be and
do. Take off your coat and make
dust in the world. The buster you
are, the less harm you are apt to
get into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter your holidays,
and the better satisfied the whole
world will be with you.-Bob Bur-
dette in The (Ark.) Democrat.

seven pupils mentioned above six
ty-seven are listed as having died,
most of them of tuberculosis, and
many others are i'll. On all sides
are seen various symptoms of tu-
berculosis beside other diseases
that are causing early deaths,
blindness, and making boys and
girls unable to do their school
work. In addition to the work
done by the government, there is
great need of a nurse to go into
homes where there is illness and
also to promote health education.
Better home conditions are neces-
sary if the children are to be
strong and we'll to profit by the
school and church opportunities
offered them.
Community Center
So next year the school build
ing will be open as a community
center and the Indian people are
urged to use the sewing room and
other equipment and to make 1t
a center for their interests. A
nurse will meet them there and
will spend much of her time Wis
iting in the homes and cooperating
with the government and the pub
lie schools. Miss Maude Steele
comes from the Presbyterian hos
pital in Indian Wells, Arizona, to
take this position. Mrs. Matte
Donaldson will have charge of the
home for the workers and the few
girls. Miss Faith Haines will be
in charge of the work and will
be ready to help by having classes
for sewing or cooking, by visiting
in the homes and helping in the
church work or any other lines of
community improvement that may
open.
1t is hoped that former pupils
of the school and other friends of
Mrs. King will unite to help this
new program and to follow her
example in trying to make the
Fort Peck Reservation a fine place
to live.

Among the most valuable is the

to the skillful brush of another
