 The railroads remain one of our foremost problems--a portrait in mistakes and contradictions. Just q year ago they appeared to face wholesale insolvency. The most minute clements of operations and maintenance costs were serutini2ed In m effort to whittie down ex. penses, and the spotlight turned glaringiy on management. To-day. with carioadings 23 per cent above last year and with the possibility that traffic will top eorresponding 1881 periods by November, the Fundamental i'll of the railroads, which ts that they arc unprepare,d to moot severe depregsions, is al- ready being forgotten.
 The majority of the Glass car. riers are already earning ,nxed charges or have that goal In sight. With Government protection from tho tooth of the anti-trust laws and various other steps taken to put them on their feet, they have the opportunity to settle themselves on

MANY PUPILS
ARE UNDERFED

LOS ANGELES, Jan. -. U.R-
Nearly 80 per cent of the average
school children scientifically are
undernourished, according to the
Sherman unit standards. because
of maladjustment of diets, accord
ing to DR.. Paul P. A. Boncquet,
professor of nutrition at University
College here.
His statements were based on
an eight-year period of research on
symptoms of malnutrition in the
behavior and appearance OF child
rem.
1.-THE principal cause of mall
nutrition is the lack of importance
given to the meal-time period in
the daily occupation of the child"
DR.. Boncquet said. THE dining
room offers an opportunity to
teach the highest socialization,
and the knowledge of the proper
ties of the food consumed is a prac-
tical education in itself"
An accurate account of all the
food eaten in a month was kept
of SO girls coming from families
in moderate circumstances and 30
were selected from random for
minute examination.
Average caloric figures for their
breakfasts ranged from $50 to 500
Calories, about one-half of nor
NAL requirements. Lunches, often
the most substantial meal of the
day, averaged between $50 and
$50 calories, which is below the re-
quired amount. One evening meal
consisted of string beans and a
baked potato.
The most outstanding case Of
malnutrition was that of a 15-year-
old girl, whose daily requirement
was 1900 calories, but who averaged
only 795.

today but changes on the whole
were slight and volume continued
small.
Numerous adverse factors work
ed against the market. The most
important was word from author
itative sources that in all probab-
ility the U. S. Steel preferred div
idend would changed when di-
rectors meet Tuesday. Some anti
cipated a reduction of so per cent
from the 81 present annual rate;
others predicted omission.
The steel discussion affected
shares of that company. Steel COM
mon broke below % while. the pre-
ferred lost nearly 2 points. Action
of these issues unsettled the whole
market.
Further selling in the tobaccos,
weakness in amusement Stoccs and
bonds and irregularity in rails were
other unsettling factors within the
market.
Utility issues ruled around the
previous close. American Telephone
dipped below 105 near the close,
against a previous close of 1861
Farm equipments eased off with
wheat. American Sumatra Tobac-
co moved up while the major to-
bacco shares declined. American
Can. United Aircraft, Allied Chem

CHICAGO. Jan. %. U.P)-Ernest
j. Stevens, head of the worlds
largest hotel and a director of the
collapsed Illinois Life Insurance
company, was under arrest here
today few hours before he and
his family were due to sail for
Europe.
The case in many respects Is
parallel to that of Samuel insult
who fled to Greece following the
collapse of his mammoth utilities
empire.
Stevens was arrested on war
rant obtained by States Attorney
Thomas A. Courtney after he
learned the one time financier had
obtained passports for himself and
his family and planned to sail next
Monday. Courtney, recalling the
successful hideout that insult had
found in Greece, where all extra
dition effort were frustrated, act
ed promptly 10 prevent Stevens
leaving the country.
Stevens was deeply involved in
both the hotel that bears his name
the largest hosiery in the world
and the Illinois Life Insurance
company which had outstanding
policies of $150,000,000 prior to its
recent collapse.
The insurance company and the
hotel were bound up inseparably so
far as finances were concerned, ac-
cording to Courtney. The states
attorney charged that $10,000,000
of insurance company assets were
tied up in the Stevens hotel and
the La Sale hotel of which Stew
ems also was head.
The specific charge against was
that he conspired to defraud the
insurance company of $l,00O,O0O.
Named with him were James w.
Stevens, his 80 year old father and
Raymond w. Stevens, his brother,
neither of the latter was arrested.
