FASTER FREIGHT
 NOW ACCOMPLISHED
New Haven Road Speeds Up Two
 Miles an Hour

During the past three years the New Haven railroad has answered the modern cryIor speed by increas- ing the average speed per hour of the freight trains on its system from 9 S-10 miles per hour to II 9-10 miles per hour. Speed has become an all-important transportation fac tor on the sea, on land, and in the air, but in no place is it more de- sirable than in the movement of freight traffic. The New Haven's action ill speeding has aided in an increase of many miles per days in total freight car movement on the system.
 Due to the necessity for classified tion and the extra handling re- quired in the transportation of less than carload. shipments, the average daily run of each freight car is not comparable with the average speed of a freight train. The increased speed and other factors of improve ment, however, have served to in- crease the miles per day covered by the average serviceable freight car on the New Haven system. In 1920 the average serviceable freight car on the New Haven moved 12 4-10 miles per day. In 1923 the average movement was 16 miles per day. while at the present time the daily run of freight car is more than 22 miles per day.
 Improvement in freight service has also been attained through the operation of longer trains. The aver age length of a freight train on the New Haven at the present time is about 40 cars as compared with 34 cars in 1923. Freight speed has been so increased that practically all points in New England can be reached on 24-hour service. Goods shipped from New York can be car ried to Portland Me, in 27 hours READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

 Steel manufa cturere throughout the world await the first commer- cial production by the new means, successfully eNperimented with at the Lorain plant for the last two years.
 IT the process meets all commer- cial requirements 1t will mean re- duced cost of production through elimination of blast furnaces, to- sether with it's possibilities Of re- ducing low grade ore. The Lorain plant follows experiments conduct ed in 1924 in England and at Marys- vile. Mich. where a working model proved successful.
 c. Howard Wills of the Wills St. Claire Company and J. w. Horn sey, patentee. are the American leaders in the perfection of the pro- cess. The United States steel corpor- ation, of which the National Tube company is 8 division, selected Lorain as proving ground.
 Through the "dry process" iron ore emerges as granular iron and granulated impurities, which are taken out by means of magnetic machinery. Briquettes then are pressed out and steel made from them by the open hearth and elec- tric methods.

Senator Reed Shoot Has to
 Change "Financial" Speech

Philadelphia, Nov. Pl-Senator Reed Shoot of Utah has found that some Philadelphia political audi ences do not care to hear about the financial state of the nation, tax re- duction and tariff matters.
 The senator. who was the princi- pal speaker at a big rally in the Metropolitan Opera house last night in the interest of the republican or ganization candidates for municipal offices, was interrupted so often that he was forced to lay aside his pre- pared speech and take his audience to task for it's lack of interest in the affairs of the government.
 Shortly after the opening of Sen- ator Shoots address, which dealt chiefly with debt and tax reduction problems, the crowd began to grow restless. It apparently had come to the Opera House prepared to hear some old-time political oratory of the fiery type. Instead the senator went into a discussion of the fiscal problems of the country and failed to mention local political conditions.
 Several times as his speech pro- gressed he was interrupted as one of the many brass bands entered the auditorium playing some popular tune. Then he was halted when dozen women with yellow slickers marched to the stage. While the senator waited patiently for the act to end the women turned their backs revealing in black type across their slickers: Vote the straight repub- lican ticket"

ITALY'S KING TODAY
 GREETS ALFONSO
Monarch in Naples for Savoy
 Bourbon Wedding

Naples, Nov. 4.-JPl-This ancient city, over which the Italians, Span iards and French fought for cen turies right up 10 the nineteenth, last night had forgotten all past feuds in anticipation of royal wedding Satur- day, at which the tall daughter of the Pretender to the French throne will become the bride Of the even taller Duke of Apulia, first cousin once removed of King Victor En- manuel of Victory.

 This offer was made out of tribute to the Dukes unselfish and unflag- ging work for the Red Cross and the French army at the front-the law forbids any members Of the former ruling house to serve in the army itself-and for carrying out several delicate diplomatic missions to Ball. kan countries during the war.
 The Duke of Guise and his young son, Prince Henry, are now barred from French soil, but the Duchess and the bride of Saturday are allow ed to come and go freely. In fact, Princess Anne, just prior to coming to Italy. was feted by the aristocratic
