RAILROAD CONTRIBUTION TO GENERAL
PROSPERITY

Last year the railroads spent 81 1,4O0,O0O,OOO
Tor materials and supplies and $722,000,O00 for
new equipment, additions to facilities and i'm
provements. This combined outlay is the equival-
ent Of $3.50 for every family in the United States
The result of these gigantic expenditures is
seen directly in faster, more comprehensive and
more efficient freight and passenger transporta-
ton. But phase Of the situation which is pos
sibly even more important is the tremendous con-
tribution the railroads make each year to our gen
eral prosperity through the purchase of the prod
ucts Of other industries.
In 1928 the railroads spent $439, 100000 for
coal, thus providing every fourth dollar earned by
the coal miners They spent $433, 100000 for iron
and steel prducts which means that the employees
Of that industry received about one-fifth of their
income from the railroads. One-fourth of all wag-
es paid IN the lumber industry came from the rail
roads.
All this is in addition to the railroads tre-
mendous direct payroll. It is likewise in addition
to the benefits derived by agriculture and indust.
ry from cheap, efficient railroad service and the
important share borne by the railroads in devel-
oping and supporting communities.
It has been said that transportation is the
backbone Of our prosperity and the facts seem to
Justify that belief

A NEW WAY TO TELL TIME

Henry Rheinhardt, chairman of the Associa-
ted Dress Industries, Chicago, comes forth with
a brand new idea on the moot problem of the
length Of skirts.
He suggests that dresses should be worn
down to the knee at noon, and hour by hour long
er dresses should be worn until at midnight the
dresses would be as long as in the days of our
grandmothers
This would give women fashions authority
to change their frocks every hour The sug-
gestion has been given serious attention all over
the country.
It is said that this suggestion, if followed,
would be wonderful compromise, pleasing both
the advocates. of long and short skirts.
We don't pose as an authority in such mat
ters, but pass the idea on in the thought that it
is interesting at any rate-and would provide us
with rather charming way of telling the time.

Phoenix, March 25.-The fourth
annual Greenway Field Day, the
states greatest athletic gathering,

Fair grounds on Apri! 5 and 6, it
was definitely decided today.
All entries will close April 1,
and this applies to the grade and
high schools, college and universi-
ty events, and all others. The

DON'T WORRY YET

The sun will shine for billion years, and when
it begins to dim another will form to take it's
place.
So says Professor Mlkan of the California
Institute of Technology.
Others have said that the sun would event
ually go out and all would be darkness Many
theories have been advanced. We trust in God to
keep the world alight and going, and are seldom
if ever disturbed for a moment by all the predic-
tions that tell the world is going to end ON such
and such date.
AS for that second sun, thanks Professor
It's great comfort to know that it is coming a.
long. But really, we guess we'll just string along
for a while with the sun that we know, and just
refuse to worry as to whether second one is
coming along or not. Personally we don't need it!

Common Cold" Cured
by Freezing Process

Feed a cold and starve fever" Is
an old folk saying, but 1t seems that
now the word feed" should be
changed to Freeze" seeing that we
have good authority for stating that
the best place for curing cold, next
to the Arctic regions, Is the refriger-
ating chamber Of coid-storage estab-
listment. In short, the best cure for
q cold fs-more cold.
The members of the various Antarc-
tic expeditions associated with the
names of Scott and Shackleton never
caught cold when the temperature was
40 below zero, but the moment they
put into a New Zealand or Australian
port they began to sneeze. Ranchers
and farmers In the northwest of Can
ada will testify to the fact that
-eolds," as we understand them, are
almost unknown, although the cold Is
as intense at times as 1t is anywhere
on the globe.
Thus it is a possibility of the fu-
ture that, instead Of proceeding to
some hospital, the influenza patient
will call an airplane of the rank and
fly to Spitzbergen, Greenland, Iceland,
or some other sanatorium for coughs,
colds, and bronchitis, situated under
the pleasant lee of an icebergI

London Seeks to Bar
Secret Phone Numbers

Efforts are being made to abolish
secret telephone numbers-numbers
which, at the express wish of sub
scribers, do not appear in the telephone
directory
In London alone there are several
thousand subscribers who, by this
means, seek immunity from the in
cessant tinkle of the phone bell and
from the flood of circulars and ap-
pealS which frequently follow the pub
LEGATION of telephone address.
One solution under consideration Is
that the owners of secret telephone
numbers pay a higher rate. To facili-
tate general abandonment Of the prac-
tice the Prince of Wales and other
members of the royal family have de-
cided to have their telephone numbers
appear in the directory.
Among distinguished owners of
secret numbers are Prime Minister and
Mrs. Stanley Baldwin, Bernard Shaw
and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Among
those who allow their private numbers
to appear are Sir William Joynson-
Hicks, Sir Austen Chamberlain, Neville
Chamberlain and Sir Laming Worth
ington-Evans. Rebecca West, the nov
elist, compromises by allowing her num-
Der, but not her address, to appear In
the directory.

Norwegians Evade
Radio License Laws

Radio fans without the required
license are proving vexatious to the
Norwegian authorities. Police, at the
request of the broadcasting company,
have been attempting to ferret out the
"thieving listeners-ir." but with no en-
couraging results. In all Norway there
are 62.832 licensed owners of receiving
sets. But, as the records of the broad
casters show, $1,000 more who pos
Sessed licenses did not renew them in
1928.
Furthermore, it Is estimated that over
10000 fans never took the trouble to
procure a certificate legalizing their
tunning-in on the radio programs.
Hence the "thieving tuners-in" are al
most as numerous as the licensed radio
owners.
These evaders, scattered over the
country, are not easily reached by the
authorities, because Of the geography
of the land; houses In sparsely settled
sections care often miles apart. and
when there are villages many are sep
arated from one another by mountains
and forests.
