year will furnish q trafic volume within
six-tenths Of per cent as great as last
year. When 1t Is remembered that 1929
set a new high record for railroad
earnings and railroad business alike 1t
will be seen that the rail outlook for
1880 Is shaping up to disclose more than
moderate prosperity.
AS to the dependence that can be
placed upon the forecast, it can be said
that six or seven years of experience
has demonstrated that the shippers
and the rail officials who cooperate in
preparing 1t are amazingly successful in
laying out advance figures which con-
form regularly with later experience.
They have seldom been as much as /
per cent away from the actual reali-
cation in their prediction.
Breaking up the estimates by indus
tries, the association fixes the expec-
fancy for automobile industry activity
during the next 80 days at 1875 per cent
less than that of 1929, but 1t antici-
pateS that agricultural implement ship
mentS will increase 73 per cent over
the same period last year. Iron and
steel shipments are expected to be as
per cent below those of last year for the
period, but coal and coke shipments
should be up 2.8 per cent. Lumber 1t
is predicted, will furnish SO per cent
less Cramc, out petroleum and petroleum
products should furnish 81 per cent
more. So the changes balance of
through the whole freight traf1ic clas-
sification, with the result that railroad
operators who moved 7,708. 404 cars Of
freight in the first three months last
year are advised to be in readiness to
move 1864, 499 cars In the same period
this year.
1.-THE astonishingly small business de-
cline, estimated as compared with last
year, seems to center In the automobile
industry" remarked H. G. Taylor, who
represents the association in board
matters. Shippers expect to load 49,
900 cars less with auto products this
year than they did last. That has some
corollary effects on steel, notably on
Ohio Valley plants which feed auto
plants more than do those of the Pitts
burgh and Chicago steel areas.

an increase over the corresponding week

A THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY
BY Amos II. Wells
JAPANESE GRACEFULNESS

The delegation of charming girls, sent
to thank our country for the relief we
sent to Japan in 1923, is one of the
finest examples of courtesy in all his
tory. Japan did not need to cement
further the cordial friendship between
our two nations; but if she had been
under that necessity she could have
chosen no ADLER set Of ambassadors. It
is strange that our country, possessing
so many women of wisdom, TACT and
graciousness, has not yet placed one
of them on such international commits
sions as those that have recently been
seeking the lessening of the waste and
terrors of war.
We charge our forefathers with stern
ness, yet the word grace" is found
far more frequently in their writings
than in ours. They were in love with
the grace of God as shown through
His Son That grace is the most fruit
full source of graciousness in human
life.
The words Of wise mans mouth
are gracious"

Little Mary Knew All
About Social Workers

Karl de Schweinitz, general secre-
tary OF the Family society. tells OF a
social worker who recently took Sam
my and Mary, aged ten and six, re-
spectively, In her car to hospital
clinic for examination.
1t was the first automobile ride for
both the children-and Sammy could
not restrain himself He had to see
everything that passed, including
street cars, people and even vacant
lots. Kiddie-like. he had to stand up
and lean far out the car window.
The social worker repeatedly told
him to sit down-but he was too In
terested in the passing scenery. Final
ly, in desperation, she said: Sammy,
IL you don't sit down III never take
you for another ride In my car
To which Sammy rather impishly
replied: "Do ar yonr children mind
you perfectly Miss X-?"
But little Mary knew better than
her older brother and she scornfully

Sammy, that Miss NJ doesn't have
