RAIL CARL0AD|NGS
CONTINUE TO GAIN
September Uptrend Has Been
Maintained Thus Far
in October.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 10.-The fiuc-
tuating records Of weekly car loadings,
regardless Of what variations they may
show the rest of this year, have thus far
come closer to carving out normal
Autumn rise than in either 1881 or 1880.
The latest car loading statement, COW
ering the week ended October /, was
better than had generally been ex-
pected in Wall street. It showed an
increase Of 26,239 cars over the previous
week.
Moreover, the latest figures have def
nitely established September as an i'm
proved operating month for the rail-
roads, the small measure Of profits be-
ing particularly welcome after their
long and thin diet of unusually skimpy
revenues.
The complete car loadings figures now
available for September give promise
of considerably better showing in net
earnings for that month, according to
Wall street banking quarters.
In 1882 the Autumn peak of car load
ings has to date exceeded the Spring
peak by about $4,000 cars In 1881 the
Autumn level overtopped the Spring
peak by only 10000 cars; in 1880 by
scant 10000, and in 1929 by over 100,-
900 cars.
Following is a comparative table OF
car loadings starting with the week be-

rong-Armed Starfish.

The starfish is the pest Of the
oyster beds. They are often encoun-
tered on the beaches and if you turn it
over you will see small mouth and at
first glance it looks feeble creature to
live and thrive in an environment teem-
ing with enemies. But the starflsh holds
its own and obtains its food in a man
ner worthy Of small Hercules.
Its favorite food is shell-fsh, espe-
cially oysters. If We watched one trav-
cling over the sea-bottom we should
notice how the oysters closed their shells
at its approach. But closed oyster,
which takes fair amount Of strength
to open, does not deter "five-fngers."
It approaches its prey, then from the
she'll like casing of its body there appear
several small tubes similar to those used
by the sea-urchin when travelling. These
are provided with hydraulic power and
it now attaches several to one edge Of
the oysters shell. Then it punches its
five arms to point on the other edge,
with a force so great that eventually
the oyster ha sto give in, for its muscles
slacken, the shell slowly opens and the
lucious mollusc lies ready to be de-
voured.

nioue In colleges and universities, are
not yet looking toward them for their
supply Of studio material. The rea-
sons simply are that the courses are
not yet well cough established and that
the radio people themselves have not
yet accepted definite standards OF
microphone technique. The networks,
and many Of the more enterprising sta
tions, have their own method Of pick
ing and developing radio material
along lines Of technique that they have
outlined for themselves on the basis Of
their own experience.

ground and experience, and have de-
Veloped their own methods Of presen-
tation which have stood the test OF
audience reaction-the only hallmark
the broadcasters will recognize. Even
audience reaction Is regarded as nebu-
lous and indecisive thing, for almost
every radio listener has his own pref
erences and dislikes.

Rail Stocks.

NEW YORK, October 10 (SpeciaD -
Rail stocks have been relatively heavier
this month than industrials. They
went slightly under the September Is
low average on Thursday, when the in
dustrial average was able to hold above
the low of that date. Inasmuch as
rails have frequently led the advances,
the current heaviness of the group Is
looked upon as an indication of a
trend that may affect all classes OF
stocks.
The factors in connection with the
softness of rail stocks are the Nickel
plate situation and the delay in bring
ing about negotiations for wage re-
duction. These appear to offset the
more favorable influences Of the Au-
gust net earnings and the increased car
loading in September.

ILGHTEST VOTE IN HISTORY

The annual municipal and school board election was held in Nome last Tuesday, when only 270 vot- CTS exercised their right and great American privilege to elect men to office. According to the last census there are 2400 people in the Nome and Cape Nome mining and recording district of which some 1900 reside at Nome. prac- tically half of this number are etitled to cast their vote at el- estions.
 It IS certainly disheartening to those who are endeavoring to boost Nome and Seward Peninsula and keep the court officials here and obtain funds for governmen Improvements including road and harbor work. aviation fields. shell CT cabins, etc. when many of those who do the most hollering against the present conditions. have not enough spirit left in them or real interest in the com munitv to walk a few blocks and cast their vote. It is a shame and disgrace that Nome will go down i, record statitsics as having only 270 voters in the recent munich pal election. when she is entitlef to more than tbree times that number, if we were rid of the "crepe hangers" Those who were well and able to go to the polls and failed to do so, are respon-
