EASTERN LINES
HAVEB|GYEAR

Record increases in every branch
of it's operations made 1886 a ban
ner year in its history. according
to figures released by Eastern Air
Lines through Capt. E. V. Ricken-
backer, general manager.
Air express continued its amaz-
ing career with a record gain for
the year of 100 per cent over 1885.
This represents a total of 420,622
pounds carried. PeriShables shipped
from Florida, New orleans, and
other Southern points to Northern
markets were largely responsible
for this gain, Captain Ricken-
backer said.
With 102,6 2,606 revenue passengers
carried, the year saw an increase
of % per cent over 1885 figures.
Expansion of Eastern Air Lines
routes through purchase of the
Wedell-Williams Line running from
New Orleans to Houston was re-
sponSible in some part for this in
crease, as well as increased buSi-
ness traffic from Chicago to At
lanta and Miami.
A total of 45,435,175 revenue
seat miles were also flown during
the year, Captain Rickenbacker re-
ported. This represents gain Of
80 per cent over 1885.
He pointed out that during the
same period, Eastern Air Lines had
contracted to purchase more than
a million dollars worth of new 81
passenger planes.

MARCH COTTON
AT SEASON HIGH.

NEW YORK, March 1 0.N.SJ.
Steadily advancing into new high
ground for the season, March cot
ton touched 1909 in the first
hours tr aiding, with the rest of
the list showing equal gains.
News of better opportunities for
exports to Italy added strength to
a market already buoyed by the
ease with which large loan cotton
releases have been absorbed. Liver
pool cables were as much as so
cents a bale higher than due.
Trade and mill buying continued
strong, and there was good Liver
pool and Continental demand.
Wall Street houses came in for
contracts, and commission houses
also bought. SAILS did not involve
large amounts of cotton, and were
mostly hedges and realizing sales.
The South, New Orleans and local
traders sold.
A statement of the Bureau of
Agricultural economics estimated
the probable sales to Italy under
the barter arrangement at 10000
bales.
With 414,291 bales of loan cot
ton already released by the Com
modify Credit Corporation up to
last Thursday, and with an I'm.
known additional amount sold but
not claimed, the fact that the
market is so strong provided con-
siderable encouragement to tSS.d-
ers.
March sold at 1909 up 6, May
1892 up 8, July 1850 up 8, Octo-
ber 1908 up 8, December 1900 up

REVENUES RISE
FOR PENNSY

Railway operating revenues of
the Pennsylvania railroad for 1886
we're SAL ,425, ,189, an increase of
$73,613,003, or 20 per cent, over
1885, approximately equaling the
revenues Of 1881, but still IS per
cent below the average Of the years
1925 to 1929.
All items of operating revenue
showed increases, reflecting the
general improvement Of business
throughout the country. The gain
in freight revenue was 22.5 per
cent and in passenger revenue 13
per cent.
Operating expenses increased
$50,987,516 or 19 per cent, one of
the principal items being an in
crease Of $29, 9,059, ,5S8 in total main
tenance.
Concerning maintenance, the
summary says that through the
years of the depression the prop
erty and equipment have been
maintained in condition to insure
safe and efficient operation, but
it was necessary to postpone some
maintenance work. During 1886,
with beer earnings, larger expendi
lures were made for necessary cur
rent maintenance and to improve
the general condition of the road
and equipment.

sion in manufacturing activity

the index of normal for manufac'
turing activity, the report said.
An increase in normal will de-
pend on a further expansion Ot
farm income without correspond
ing rise in the price level Of manu-
factured goods. An increase in
farm income will depend on an
extension of the inflationary move
ment, a development which, the
institute declared, is not at all
certain since the odds at the pres
ent time seem to be against it.
But even if there is rise in farm
income, it is quite probable that
this will be offset by an advance
in the prices of manufactured
products in view of the present
tendency toward a substantial in
crease in factory wage rates, it was

arated from the ribs by saving direct
ly across the ribs, parallel to the
chine bone. Then, after the meat
is cooked and before it is brought to
the table, the backbone should be re-
moved. When this has been done, the
carver's task is simply to cut neatly
and evenly the required number of
slices.
Loin roasts or pork, veal and lamb
should be prepared in this manner.
Veal or lamb loin roasts usually con-
tain the kidney. Each person is SER
we'd piece of kidney and kidney fat
with the slice of meat.
CARVING TONGUE
To carve tongue, cut it across in
wafer-like slices. The center of the
tongue is the choicest portion. The
tip of the tongue is best carved length
wise in very thin slices.

RADIANT LIVING
Just The Vision We Need
By Rev. c. nj. Griffith
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

When the Holy Spirit carries one
away to the height of spiritual vision
he is shown things that are not re-
vealed to men of worldly minds.
To st. John the Beloved, marooned
on the Island of Patmos, there was
revealed by the Holy Spirit, who
caught him up into the heavenly realm
vision which the great philosophers
of the world have long sought but
failed to attain-Utopia, a perfect
place for a perfect life-the City of
God.
And the vision that was granted to
st. John was just the vision that he
needed. It confirmed him in the fact
that although the satanic persecution
seemed to have the upper hand, new
ertheless God still ruled and over
ruled.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-01-15

A certain man went to take charge
of mission in a city. There were
only a few there to greet him. They
were poverty stricken and dirty. The
situation looked hopeless. What use
trying anything there?
"Then I remembered God he said,
in telling us about it, "God is inter-
ested in these people and Christ died
to save them," he thought.
He was seized with divine inspira-
ton. He went to work, and before the
week was passed, he had won many
to Christ.
Why?
God gave that discouraged man just
the vision that he needed. He no
longer saw few ragged people. He
had vision of eternal souls, precious
and savable!

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS
- AZ RM

THERE has been little change in
meat prices during the last week.
Forequarter cuts of lamb and beef are
better values than hindquarter. If
you are planning to have steak, I
suggest a chuck steak of beef or in
dividual lamb steaks from the shoul-
der for an inexpensive meal. Chick
ems, fowl and turkeys average about
One-fourth less than they did this time
last year.
Egg production is high and conse-
quently prices for fine fresh eggs are
lower. If the weather permits, plen-
ty of fresh fish will be available at
moderate prices. Frozen fish, how
ever, is reasonable.
There is great variety Of fresh vege-
tables and fruits. Shipments of new
potatoes and strawberries are increas-
ing, and the prices are lower.
Here are menus using seasonable
foods, planned to fit three pocket
books.

The Gentle Art Of Carving

Whatever cut of meat you are car
wing, let neatness be your watchword!
Don't be in too great hurry to be
done with your task, even though
family appetites are keen. Their
patience will be rewarded when you
serve them beautifully cut portions,
arranged so that everyone about the
table has his share of the most desir-
able part, should there be any "best"
to the particular cut you are carving.
This is one reason for carrying enough
for all before anyone is served. You
can then arrange each serving in the
best possible manner.
ROAST LOIN OF PORK
In order to carve this roast well,
you are going to need little help
beforehand, that is, at the market.
Otherwise, there will be trouble a
head! The backbone should be sep

Although you are worried and blue,
If you smile at the world and be

Good humor is always contagious
But you Danish your friends when you
