FREIGHT MOVEMENT
SPEEDY IN JANUARY
Average Daily Mileage 28.5, High
est Mark Reached Since Re-
ports Have Been Issued.

A marked speeding up ip the move
ment of freight by the railroads of
this country was indicated by reports
for January just received from the
carriers by the Bureau of Railway
Economics and made public today.
The average daily movement per
car in January was 2S.5 miles, which
was the highest average ever attained
in any January since the compilation
of these reports began in 1917.
The daily average for January was
an increase of nine-tenthS of a mile
over that for January, 1926, and 2.1
miles above January. 1925. 1t also
was an increase of OF miles above
the average for January, 1920.
In computing the average move
ment per day account is taken of all
freight cars in service, including cars
in transit. cars in process of being
loaded and unloaded, cars undergoing
or awaiting repairs and also cars on
side tracks for which no load is inn
mediately available
The average load per freight car in
January. 1927 was 2S4 tons, includ-
ing merchandise, which is the highest
average attained for that month since
January, 1923, when the average was
30 tons. This was an increase Of
eight-tenths of a ton above that for
January last year and an increase of

because business is so varied and so
dynamic. In the last analysis the
chief safeguard of the outside investor
is the honesty of management.
Fascinating Pursuit.
People who are primarily interest
ed in art or in leisure regard business
as simply a drag, but to me it is a
fascinating pursuit. 1t involves all
other branches of knowledge In
feudal times the leading men were
barons and engaged in military battle.
Now the chief arena for matching
skill and wits is business. 1t chal-
lenges the best that is in a man If
he wishes to keep abreast and is not
merely satisfied in drifting along.
THE hopeful aspect about the cur
rent economic situation in the United
States is that there is a growing rec
ognition that the measure of pros
pe11ty is not in gold balances, but in
figures of production and consump-
ton. Business activity depends on a
wide diffusion of products among the
masses of people.
The business outlook, as | see it
from our current ledger experiences,
is excellent, but, Of course, this may
change at any time
The silent man avoids the impor
tunings of success magazines which
wish to exploit his personality, be-
cause he believes that each individual
must work out his problems in his
own way and would be confused by
holding up another man as a model

up his company to leadership in it's

disposed to follow his fathers pat

on the continued good health, sound
judgment and capacity for work OF
a single person. The main adj
vantage Of a partnership is better di-
versification of the human element.
An enterprise that has more than
one owner can ordinarily continue &c

one partner becomes incapacitated
On the other hand, a one-man concern

Task Of Great DeIicacy.
The selection of q partner Is d task
of great delicacy. The best selections
in actual practice are made spontan-
eously Men are accidentally thrown
together, and find a community Of in.
terests and of ideas. The really good
partners are those who stimulate each
other. to de better work. Partners in
the best sense supplement each other
rather than act as check. They should
function like collaborators in work
of art.
No simple formula can cover all the
requirements.
The partners should be neither
identica1s nor opposites. They should
preferably be men of common ideals
and ambitions, each of whom can con-
tribute different essentials to business
success. For example, in one OF the
highly successful new publishing
houses. one partner has an editorial
mind, and the other a gift. for selling.
If both were either editorial men or
sales specialists, the personnel would

Tor various specialized qualities-some-
times primarily because they possess
capital. The partnership, as opposed
to the corporation, persists among
financial houses. Many private bank
ing concerns maintain the partner
ship form, and all brokers connected
with the New York Stock Exchange,
for example, are organized on the
partnership basis. The rules of the
Exchange forbid member firms to take
the corporate form which gives
owners limited liability for the debts

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Choosing Business Partner

Next to the marital relationship,
the choosing of a business partner
is perhaps the most important selec-
ton that the ordinary man of at
fairs must make.
The first question that arises is
whether an associate should be Sc
lected to share the responsibilities,
the risks and the profits of a bust
ness. The alternative is playing a
lone hand. Some men are tempera-
mentally untitled to form a partner
ship, and, despite certain disad-
vantages, should go it alone in the
realm of business
However, where the capacity for
cooperation exists, a partnership is
usually more desirable than an in
dividual proprietorship.
An enterprise with a single owner
is more handicapped in getting COM
mercial credit and bank credit than
a partnership, for it is limited in
human resources. Too much hinges

of the concern. The Stock Exchange
insists that all partners remain fully
liable for all debts of the house.
This emphasizes the essence of a
partnership. Each partner is fully
| liable financially for debts contracted
in the name OF the firm by the other.
A partnership therefore must rest on
| unqualified faith by all of the partners
| in the integrity of all the others. II
| is folly to form a partnership with an
| individual concerning whose honesty
and ability you have any mental
reservations whatsoever.
Satisfy Two Inquiries.
| Occasionally, gullible and we'll mean
| ing individuals wreck their careers by
| forming partnership with unworthy
| associates. The exploited individuals
are used as window dressing to hide
the nefarious practices of the real
| managers of the enterprise. Accord
| ingly. when you are offered partner
| ship, you should satisfy yourself as TO
| two propositions. First, whether you
are to share sufficiently in the fruits
of success, and secondly whether you
know you can contribute enough to
the welfare of the concern to justify
the terms offered to you. If you are
| in doubt about the latter point, you
should inquire whether you are being
used as a dupe.
Irrespective Of the intentions of
your associates, you may be sure that,
| If you are arranging to get larger
slice of the pie than you can earn,
you are building a weak business
structure, which will fall of its own
weight
After all technical matters have
been adjusted, the crucial question is
a purely human one. Is the proposed
associate congenial, and can you work
happily together?
If these questions were answered
sensibly in advance, there would be
fewer premature dissolutions of part
nerships.

In Sierre Leone, where | come from,
we have the |. O. q. L. The great ques
ton that confronts us in Sierre Leone is
the liquor question. Christian organiza-
tons are trying just as much as possible
to do away with liquor, but the govern
ment officials are the worst opposed to
that. They say the revenue would fall Oft
If liquor is not imported. The church or
CARNATIONS are opposed to it, but we are
not strong enough to bring about
change that will make for the good. We
are British subjects, and England export:
liquor to us. What can we do? My peo
pie labor day in and day out, night i'll and
night out, year in and year out, spending
their money for something that kills their
bodies, their souls, and everything that is
worth while. The money greed of the
merchants is the thing that is very detri-
mental to us. If the spring will be stop
ped, nothing will be running out. Ii En-
gland will stop exporting, we will have no
liquor in Sierre Leone. The question to
consider is, what will England do for us?
You women who spread so much in
fluence, this Que thing | want to say to
you as a message from Africa. Africa
looks like a question mark. We arc ask
ing you people, What are you doing
with us? What shall you do with us?"
Besides being question mark, we are an
ear. We are listening to the civilized
world Remember, your actions speak
louder than your voice. We are asking
you; we are listening to you.
