Railroads Earn
n Salute

everybody else In this country
in the matter of knowing what
TO do when the crisis came.
IN MOVING vast quantities of
L freight and troops the rail-
roads are performing veritable
miracles. They are doing IL
without undue confusion. With
the curtailment of travel by pri-
vate u o m o b lie, which had
largely supplanted the railroads
as a means of transportation.
and with commercial air service
now quite sparse, the railroads
are about the only transporta-
ton between distant points left
in this country, and they are
handling passenger traffic well.
OF course the conveniences are
not what they used to be when
our crack trains represented the
most comfortable and luxurious
form Of travel in the world, but
a man can get around the coun-
try very nicely.
1t Is the one enterprise that
has not broken down or even
faltered in the war effort and
while it may discourage those of
my readers who believe in gov
eminent ownership, would say
the success of the railroads is
something Of a tribute to pri-
vate operation.

There are no nice summaries.
Some are tall, some are short,
some fat. some skinny, some
quick. some slow with their
school work, some are silent,
some loquacious and yet all these
varieties are quite normal.
Happy are children If parents
during these years see their
characteristics and within rea-
sonable limits allow them to
follow their respective bents.
Sex has not yet entered into
the picture TO any extent and
they can be guided without con-
sideration OF the storms that
part Of life imposes.
physically, a child from 4
L to 7 should grow about two
or three inches a year, and gain
from three to six pounds a year.
This is a terrific change in
rate from what has been hap
pening up to that time.
1t means that clothes are
likely TO wear out before they
have been outgrown, for one
thing.
The capacity OF children of 4
to 10 for slowing away food is
the despair Of aging gourmets
who have TO stop almost before
they have begun to eat.
