ONE Of the great jobs of the
war is being done by our
American railroads Indeed, it
may be the greatest of all our
civilian war efforts in point of
successful operation in a time of
considerable laundering in other
fields, especially when you con-
slider the handicaps under which
the railroads are laboring.
The building of cars has prac-
tically been stopped. The acqui-
sition of engines is limited.
Facilities generally have been
slowed down by priorities.
Nevertheless, the railroads con-
tinue functioning with astound-
ing efficiency. Without them the
nation would be sunk.
Probably the efficiency is due
to the fact that the railroads
have been left in the hands of
the regular operators. In the
last war the government took
over the railroads and the re-
suits were not entirely satisfac-
tory. Perhaps the memory of
that operation caused the mas
ten minds in Washington to lay
off the railroads this time.
However. il would be an in
justice not to mention that the
foresight of President Roose-
Welt is largely responsible for
the present efficiency of the
roads. AS far back as the
spring of 1889 he began consult

I AM firmly convinced that a
L careful annual physical ex-
animation by a doctor. prefer
ably the family doctor, should
be made on children from the
age of 4 TO 10.
Of course, they should be ex-
amined before that, too, but up
TO the age of 4 they will prob
ably be frequently sick and the
doctor will see them fairly regu-
larly anyhow.
From 4 to z there are not
likely TO be any definite signs
that take the child to the doc
tor. hence the examination is
likely to be neglected.
But these are the years when
certain tendencies begin that
develop into serious handicaps
in adult life. and, this. is the
time to check them.

Chemistry Gives u. 5.

Synthetic Products

A bridge of ships spanning the
Atlantic, spaced a trifle over one
mile apart. would be required to
bring to America just five of the
many vital war products which the
chemical industry has developed
synthetically since 1917, says a
statement from the E. l. du Pont
de Nemours Co.
That is the direct contribution
which research laboratories and
chemical developments have made
in the last 25 years to alleviate the
acute shipping shortage Of today.
The five products are nitrates for
explosives production and other
uses: rubber for mechanical army
and necessary civilian transporta-
ton; dyestuffs for uniforms, various
types of military equipment and
civilian clothing; fibers for para
chutes, powder bags and essential
industrial uses. and camphor, used
incidentally and in the manufacture
of many chemical products essen
tial to war.
Would Fill 1852 Ships.
To bring these things to America
in the quantities either required
this year, or, where such figures are
unavailable, actually imported be-
fore the chemical equivalent was in
production, would require 1852 siz-
able cargo ships.
The distance from New York Har-
Dor to Queenstown to 2,842 miles.
These ships spread over that dis
tance from the Battery to Ireland
would be just over one mile apart.
OF the five products, the only one
that now would actually be obtain
able, no matter how many ships
were available, would be nitrates,
with Chile the main known COM
mercial source of natural supply.
Before being made in America by
the chemical industry the other
four products came from what are
now enemy sources.
Japs Hold Rubber Sources.
Ninety-five per cent of American
rubber importations come from ter

Thousands Of Bibles
Sent 10 Soldiers

The American Bible Society, in
two years of its war emergency
program. has supplied hundreds OF
thousands of Scriptures to the
armed services, prisoners of war and
European civilians, and is receiving
an increasing number of requests
for them, according to an announce
ment by the society.
The greatest single service of
the society has been to Army and
Navy men. During the last year
there were issued to Army and Navy
chaplains without charge 8,504
Bibles, 1872 $50 Testaments and 169,-
113 selections of the Jewish Pen
tateuch at a cost of $57,597. In
addition to these, some 220,727
Testaments have been sold to
churches and communities for the
supply of their own men or those
in nearby camps.
During the spring the greatest
development was the supply of
Scriptures to Russian prisoners of
war. Another important service,
according to the Bible Society, has
been that of supplying Scriptures
to peoples in occupied Europe.
