Serving the Consumer

FOR many years, the chief criticism,
Of the bureau Of standards, that great
federal testing laboratory on the out
skirts Of Washington, has been that
Il served business directly, and the
people only indirectly. That Is, the
results Of its tests and experiments
were usually made available to man
ufacturing companies, with benefits
to the people only filtering down In
the form Of improved products.
Perhaps all the recent consumer
agitation has had an effect after all.
For as = result Of years OF expert
ments on silk stockings, the bureau
has learned . great deal about them,
and offers the information directly to
consumers In 3 pamphlet which may
be had from the government printing
office ct five cents.
For instance, two teaspoonsful Of
aluminium sulphate dissolved in half
q pint Of hot water have been found
good for new stockings. Soak. dry,
and then wash gently. Washing new
stockings before wearing usually adds
to the wear. And so on.
All OF which Is just an indication of
how valuable the hurean If standa rla
could be to the people as consumers
II It were used more generally in that
direct service, and Its information
made more easily available to those
Of us who buy and use things.

The Quick Comeback

comeback from adverse economic
conditions.
The fact Is emphasized By reports
from such out-of-the-way places Is

that the automobile business =

these places have more than compen-
sated for sluggishness in older and
more populated sections and as q re-
suit one corporation reports the high

Just why it is that the newer coun-
tries recover faster is not readily up.
parent but one explanation may lie
in the fact that they usually live .
little closer to the land and the soil

Another explanation is that asri-
culture, commerce and industry
usually strike q better balance in Z
pioneer country and its problems are
less complex than those in 3 more
highly integrated civilization. There
Is more room for individual Initiative
than In areas where the ideas and DE-

ECONOMY BEATS DOWN

The Democrats lost an election the

one of their congressman tried to be

10000 votes. Lands died and In the
subsequent special election Dwgin
lost by 5000 to Charles A. Halleck
Durgin had introduced . bill to

New Cooperation

Those who have regarded the rail-
roads and the automobile as natural
competitors, which they clearly are.
will be interested in learning that the
General Motors corporation. one of
the great motor manufacturers, has
decided to enter the railroad field. It
proposes to erect Q huge new plant
near Chicago for the construction Of
Diesel electric locomotives for use on
the nations railroad systems.
The development Is expected to
prove profitable for 1t Is the view Of
automotive leaders that the railroads
have neglected many opportunities
and have been sadly lacking IN enter
prise.
Presumably the automobile men en-
tering the rail transportation field
viii apply to the problems encoun-
tered the same technique which has
made the automobile . national ne
cesity As well as . convenience. They
may be expected to launch new efforts
to make the nation railroad conscious,
q thing which railroad men them
selves have, within the last year,
come to recognize Is necessary. It
opened their eyes Q year ago. when
they offered special excursion rates
ct holiday time, to learn that some
college students, attending schools
hundreds Of miles away from their
homes, had never before even set foot
on railroad train.
The new development, now directed
to the building Of high-speed stream
lined trains. should look eventually to
the institution Of both cheaper and
more frequent rail- service. It will
take many adjustments, both physical
and mental, but It is apparent that
this IS the only way in which the rail-
roads viii be able to meet the compe-
tition which has been growing stead
ily stronger during the last decade.

Increase In Carloadings
Continues
(Rauway Age)


Car loading statistics show contnu-
auce Of tho improvement IN general
business which began In November.
The increase In loadings In the week
ending February 2 was relatively the
largest since the improvement be-
gan.
The seven-month recession Of load
ings that commenced in April re-
duced them from about "a per cent
Of the l925-l920 average In March to
about S. per cent Of that average in
October. They increased to almost 81
per cent Of 1t In November, to almost
80 per cent Of 1t in December and
to more than 60 per cent OF 1t In
January. In the week ended Febru-
ary 2 they were as per cent Of the
l92S-lo2o average, o. relatively larger
than In any week Of 1884 excepting
one week In March and one In April.
They were 8 per cent larger In the
week ended February : than In the
corresponding week Of 1894, q per
cent larger than In 1888 and "a per
cent larger than In 1882.
Statistics regarding tho groups Of
commodities In which increases or
decreases Of loadings occurred In the
week ended February give signi-
ficant indications Of recent trends in
both railroad and general business.
Loadings Of both grain and live stock
were less than In 1884. doubtless ow-
ing to effects Of the great drouth last
year. Loadings Of Lei. merchandise
were less than In either 1894 or 1888,
which doubtless reflects the increas-
ing iuroads Of truck competition
Coal loadings increased Is per cent
over 1894 and IS per cent over 1893
Forest products loadings increased q
per cent over 1884 and So per cent
over 1883. Loadings Of miscellaneous
freight, which consists principally Of
manufactured products, increased II
per cent over 1884 and 81 per cent
over 1888. There Was also an in.
crease In ore loadings. but shipmenti
iof It always are small ct this time
Of tho year.
Tho groups Of commodities thl

The Colleges and Peace

Persons who are interested In the
cause and prevention Of war viii find
plenty Of food for thought In the re-
turns Of the poll recently taken
among American college students by
The Literary Digest.
It Is significant for two reasons.
One Is its disclosure Of the trend Of
thinking on the part Of the nations
leaders Of tomorrow. The other Is
its indication Of the attitude Of young
men who now are 1T IN age tor &C.
tive military service In the event Of
hostilities.
It also disclosed that North Dakota
is one Of the most peaceful Of the
states, students at our state univer-
sity taking advanced positions on
each Of the seven questions pre-
scented.
It expressed the belief Of young
North Dakotans, by . count OF 337
to 81, that the United States would
find 1t possible to stay out Of another
war. Willingness to fight against m
invader was favored 376 to IS, but
willingness to participate In invasion
Of another country was rejected 1863
to 60. OF those voting. l45 thought
the United States should have the
largest navy and air force in the
world but 285 said mo-" The vote
for federal control Of munitions was
405 to 80 and for universal conscrip-
ton it was $50 to So. United States
entry into the League Of Nations was
voted down 22l to 2o6.
Grant that the votes Of college
students doubtless are Influenced by
the attitudes Of their instructors, the
poll still has weight In determining q
sound national policy. It is true that
many Of the minds marking ballots
are immature and that some Of them
will be changed in the future by new
considerations and experiences. Never.
theless, the poll indicates not only
present but future thought on the
questions presented.
On the basis Of ballots cast by the
nations younger intellisentsia, 1t Is
apparent that American adherence to
the World Court would have been
popular with them. The vote against
entry into the League Of Nations Was
only $3.50 to $3.50 and the court Is
only q small part Of tho general pro.
gram represented by the league.
Other expressions OF thought In
the nations colleges Is . whole are
represented by the following conclu-
sions and vote: the United States
will be able to stay out Of another
war, 76,44l to 34.9l3: the youth Of the
nation will defend the country from
invasion, 92,125 to 1881: they will
not participate in invasion Of an
other country. 1925 to s9,5S5; We do
Not need q dominant navy and air
force, 4l,4O7 to 69,7l5: the government
should control tho munitions bust.
hess, 10l.7O2 to 10000; We should
adopt system OF universal conscrip.
ton, 81, O88 to 1881.
