The Government collects such figures
once a month. Their estimates are

trusted. Real economists pay no at
tention to them.
Charts Bring Optimism.
Mr.. Roosevelt based his optimism
on charts by Prof Warren. The charts
! were written from July reports. They
show everything Mr.. Roosevelt set
forth in his announcement. Improve
ment was noted all along the line in
July.

as are drGildble hint at moderate
slackening OF the business pace.
Carloadings and steel production are
outstanding examples.
Automobile production dropped rathe,
sharply this week.
The big question is whether this
moderation is being accompanied by
curtailed employment and diminished
purchasing power If the N r. A. Is
working. these tendencies should not
worry any one. They mean production
slackening, so employment and wages
can catch up If the N. r. A. is NOT

Safe Driving Hint
Carbon Monoxide Gas

Carbon monoxide gas is the
unseen killer that turks in every
garage. Unless the doors and
windows are open. a running mo-
tor will generate sufficient
quantity of it within a few min
utes to cause death.
1t is colorless, tasteless and
odorless. It strikes without
warning. The victim lapses into
a coma preceding death before
he is even aware that anything
is wrong.
Many deaths resulting from
carbon monoxide gas have been
reported in recent years while the
victims were riding in closed cars
on the highway The gas has a
way of seeping up through the
floor boards and if no windows
are open it may Cause death

the problem in conjunction with several
of Wall Streets outstanding railway
bankers and some officials of the large

A clue to the Roosevelt philosophy

in his speech in Salt Lake City on

to create and foster competition with
or among railroads as defense against
monopoly"
While details of the administrations
plan are, naturally, not yet generally
known, it is believed that they will
reveal a scheme for seven regional
systems, somewhat along the following
lines:
In the East, two systems. the frs.
to include the Pennsylvania. Baltimore
&; Ohio and certain New England
reads; the second to include the New
York Central. the Van Sweringen roads
and certain other New England COM
panies.
In the South, two systems. the first
to comprise the Southern Railway, Hi
nois Central end Frisco lines east of
the Mississippi: the second, the Louis
vile & Nashville, Seaboard and At
lantic Coast Line.
Other Systems.
One system for the Southwest to
take in the Santa Fe, Frisco lines west
of the Mississippi and other South
western carriers.
| One system for the Central West to
be made up of the Union Pacific South
ern Pacific, Rock Island. Northwestern,
Denver & Rio Grande Western. Western
Pacific and Kansas City Southern
One system for the Northwest to
include the Burlington. The Northern
Pacific and Great Northern, and other
i Northwestern systems.
Such development would be in line
with the recommendation contained in
the National Transportation Commit
tees report which suggested that the
, carriers be merged into regional sys-
TENS looking eventually to a single
national system with elimination of all
excess and obsolete lines and equip
ment"
Railway executives here contend that
national system is visionary" in
that it is too unwieldy to be practical
They also vigorously challenge current
estimates of a s700,000, 900 annual saw
ing In operating costs as a result of
consolidating the roads into seven
regional systems. There is no past ex-
perience upon which to base any such
an estimate, they contend.

PINEAPPLE GROWERS
ADOPT 1O-YEAR PLAN

Cooperative production and market
ing of Hawaiian pineapple-a policy
adopted last year when the industr;
was hard hit-has proved SO successful
that a 10-year program along these
lines has been adopted by the principal
companies operating in Honolulu. The
original agreement was for 1892 and
1888, but early this year it was seen
that a longer period of joint control
would be advisable. and so a conference
OF representatives of the companies was
called in San Francisco. The 1O-year
program was adopted with the support
of all concerned.
One of the results of the original
agreement, which is expected now to be
continued, was the national advertising
campaign in newspapers and magazines
This campaign Is credited with helping
to dispose Of the carryover pack and
opening up new and wider market fer
current output. The Hawaii companies
which have greatly restricted their
crops and packs for. the last year and
half. are optimistic over the prospect
of stabilizing the industry in 1888.
