State Railway Rates Are
Analayzed for Business Men
University Press Publishes First
Study in Northwest Regional
Survey

Minneapolis, June 3-An analysis
of the Minnesota freight rate struc-
ture, prepared especially for the
smaller business concerns, on the
assumption that big firms are able
to employ experts, and that freight
rates are so complicated that some
simplification of them is necessary
to an understanding, has been pre-
pared by Professor Wayne e. But
terbaugh of the School of Business
Administration, University of Min
nesota.
Professor Butterbaugh's PAM
phlet is the first published product
of the Central Northwest Regional
Survey that was undertaken by a
large faculty committee at the Uni
versity of Minnesota more than a
year ago.
"As a general thing it may be
safely asserted that the average
business man knows little about
the structures used as bases for
making his railroad freight rates."
this pamphlet asserts.
"This situation is unfortunate,
for the success and development of
business is frequently dependent
upon the freight rates that are
charged on it's products. The rea-
sonableness and justice of such
rates as compared to the rates ac-
corded competitors, can only be
analyzed, attacked, and satisfactor-
lily readjusted and maintained by
having a clear understanding of
the principles used in their making.
It is the smaller business concerns
that are handicapped by a lack of
attention to rate problems, prob
lens that are equally as important
to their success as they are to the
prosperity of the large shippers"
DR.. Butterbaugh's introduction
also explains briefly the nature of
freight rates.
There are various kinds or types
of railroad freight rate structures" !"
he says. "For instance, there are
mileage plans based on distance;
plans based on the grouping, zon-
ing or blanketing of territory;
plans based on specific percentages,
those involving differentials and
arbitraries, and others that involve
the use of common points, basing
points, river crossings or gateways
in the construction of rates.
I'm explaining the railroad
freight structure of any region of
the United States, it is first neces-
sary to note the location of the
region with reference to classifica-
ton and rate-making territories, al
so to ascertain the particular states
or portions Of states embraced in
the area under examination. Like
the regions themselves, the rate
making territories cannot be ident-
flied by political boundaries"
Maps of the principal freight rate
territories accompany the publica-
ton.

Big Bertha

"Big Bertha" had firing dis
tance of IS miles. The principle on
which this long-distance gun was
operated is that if a shell is fired
upward at an angle of 55 degrees
to the horizontal, and at high
velocity, so that the shell will rise
above the dense atmosphere close
to the earth's surface and rapidly
reach the thin air which exists at a
height of ten miles above the earth,
then it's flight will be practically
unimpeded and it will travel q
great distance before it falls again.
During its flight from the "Bfg
Bertha" the German shell rose to
height of "a miles, and Travelled
more than fifty miles of it's course
in a very thin atmosphere.

proportions were first formulated
by the State College of Agricul-
ture. This excellent home mixture
consists of 80 lbs. ground yellow
corn, 20 lbs. pure wheat middlings,
5 lbs. chick-size raw bone, pounds
chick-size oyster shells or high
grade limestone, and lib. salt, all
mixed together thoroughly and
nothing to drink but sour skimmilk
for the first four to six weeks OF
the chicks life.
The dry mash can be made best
accessible to the chicks by keeping
it in a small-size, constant-feeding
pattern hopper. Liquid skimmilk is
the essential part of the ration and
can be kept, soured, in small wood
en- troughs.

"corn" or "Mai.e"

An English writer says: "What
a pity it is that we cannot come
to some agreement with North
America about corn and maize
Corn with us means wheat. Across
the Atlantic 1t means maize. So
when 1 read, as / have done just
now, that paper has been success
fully made from corn stalks /
don't know what is meant. On this
paper a daily journal has been
printed in the state Of Kansas.
This looks like being a discovery
Of far-reaching consequence"

orisination of Term "old Glory"

The origin of the term "Old
Glory" is contained in a letter
written by Robert S. Rantoul, pres
fdent of the Essex institute, Salem,
Mass, where the flag about which
1T was said is still kept. Accord
ing to a report, Captain Driver of
Salem in 1881 commanded the brig
Charles Doggett, which sailed on
its famous voyage which resulted
in the rescue of the mutineers Of
the British ship Bounty. Asletter
acknowledging this service contains
Drivers autograph, dated Novem-
ber 16, 1880, and bears the words
''My ship. my country and my flag,
Old Glory" 1t may be fairly as
sumed, therefore, that the phrase
"Old Glory" originated with Cap
tain Driver. The flag which was
SO designated by him was present.

to have reverted to the ancient mo-

chased the herds; we chase the sum

tNaSnlngton Bureau, \. x. Hora ld)
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 15 - In 1928, for the first time in the history of Connecticut, the death rate from typhoid fever was less than one per 100000 of population, it is revealed in report of mortality statistics made public by the department of commerce.
 The same report reveals, however, that 17,93S persons died in the state in 1928, as compared with 1G,75 in 1927, and the general rate of death increased (per 100000 population) from 1,O34.3 in 1927 to 1,076.l in 1928.
 Causes of Rate Jump
 Increases in rates (per 100000 populaton) from those of the pre- Ceding year were noted in 1928 for the following principal causes: Dis eases of the heart, @l9.1 to @2S4; cancer, 105.l to 107.5; tuberculosis. all forms 65.6 to G6.g; pneumonia, all forms. 76.3 10 S7.9; influenza, 14,2 to lS.2; whooping cough, "A to GA: measles, l.5 10 A.
 The death rate from aall accident. al causes increased from 66.7 to Al tho individual types of accidents showing the greatest increases being automobile accidents. 200 to PA, railroad accidents, .. , to 3.5, and ac- Cidental drowning, - to 7.9.
 Significant among the decreases in rates from 1927 to 1928 were those from diarrhea and entcritis, under two years, 1@.4 to so; COngenital malformation and diseases of carly infancy, 63.7 10 eos; diphtheria, 5,9 10 5.1 and typhoid and paratyphOid fever ] II to c. 6.
 Big Increase In Murders
 The number of murders in the state increased from 1S6 in 1927 to 236 in 1928, the rate increasing from 1l.4 10 14.@, while the number ot suicides increased from 35 in 1927 10 43 the year later. The suicide rate increased from 2.1 10 2.G.
 Diseases of the heart claimed by far the greater number of victims in 1928, 3,S0S dying from that cause Cancer was second with 1,792, ccre- hral hemOrrhagc and sOftcninG was next with 1,50l. Pneumonia claim cd 1,465, nephritis. 1897, and all forms of tuberculosis, 1,1l6.
