WHILE WARTIME transportation statiS
tics are fresh, they should be recorded indel
IDLY in everyOne'S mind. 1t is important that
the record be kept straight on who hauled
what.
Out of total of 3O7 million tons Of mill
tary freight, some 278 million tons, or more
than 80 per cent, were moved over the high
ways, and only four million tons went on the
inland waterways. Again, it must be noted
that these figures underState the share Of the
railroads in this huge freight movement be-
cause the average haul by railroad is much
greater than that by highway or on the
inland waterways.
In our pre-War planning we made the same
mistake that the Germans made. We assum-
ed that our modern highway systems would
play a major role in the movements OF men
and munitions in the event of war. We took
the railroads for granted, but we did not
realize that they would prove to be COM
pletely indispensable, and that they would do
nearly the whole job Of military transpOr-
tatiOn in this country.
Now that the essential character Of q
strong rail transportation system is known,
the next problem is how to continue to main
tain it, Those nearest to this problem, the
railroad people themselves, know the answer
They are trying to impress 1t upon the cOun-
try Basically it is simple: Assure the future
of the railroads as a private enterprise In
dustry; avoid legislative favOritiSm toward
any form of spOrtatiOn-taXatiOn and
regulation must hit all equally; let investors
see public faith in the railroads tangibly
demonstrated. That, in short, is the answer
to the problem of how to keep strong rail
roads,

WHEAT CONSTITUTES one-ffth of the

WHEAT CONSIllO1EO One-lllCl vi CliC
country's diet. Bread and grains contribute
more than a quarter of the calOrles and pro-
tein we consume; the amount OF protein is
almost as much as that obtained from meat,
poultry, game and fish combined. Now that
we have to eat bread, cake, biscuits, noodles
and spaghetti made OF ~ per cent hour What
will be the effect on our health? Nothing OF
Importance The 80 per cent flour IS better
than what we have been used to IN some
respects, and a little worse IN others. Eighty
per cent flour is so called because it contains
80 per cent of the wheat berry. We are ac-
customed to $50 per cent flour. The left
overs were sold largely as feed to poultrymen
hog raisers and cattlemen. The supply OF
this so-called mill feed will be reduced by
100000 tons OF 80 per cent before the middle
of the year, for which reason farmers will
hold back wheat for feed. Some mills may
have to close.
1t is harder to make bread from the 80
per cent flour than the familiar kind. Bread
baked from this new flour will hardly differ
in taste and appearance from the usual
white bread A little sugar and little short
ening are used in baking white bread. More
of both will be required-something that
worries milers because sugar is ratloned,
and there is deficiency in shortening. The
new flour will be of about the quality sold
before the Civil War. Housewives will find it
harder TO make gOOQ biscuits OUT Ol IT, Ddk-
ers will have to use it up as rapidly as poss
ibe because it's oil turns rancid in warm wea-
ther Light cake cannot be made OF ~ per
cent flour at all. Farina, much used in baby
cereals, goes by the board. Chickens, which
have been plentiful of late, may be harder to
buy for lack of the mill feed that poultrymen
need Probably there will be a black market
in this mill feed inasmuch as it can be pro-
duced with simple equipment in a barn. Later
on pork will be harder to buy because hogs
are also fed on mill feed.
We shall not be as badly off as Europe.
There wheat flour extraction rates for bread
runs from 85 to 80 per cent, and in South
Africa as high as SO per cent. In most Euro
pean countries even this kind of flour is "di-
luted' with rye and such coarse grains as
corn and barley. The British have to get
along on 85 per cent flour. To this calcium is
added We shall probably not follow the
British example because most communities
get enough calcium from milk and green
Vegetables The new flour will not need the
addition of vitamins which in recent years
has been added to our white flour. The new
flour will contain most of the VitaminS which
had been removed from our white flour in
the process of manufacture. Taken all in all
we shall probably never notice the change
after a few days trial.

THE BIG TURN.AROUND

That loud distressing noise that
you hear originates from the voices
Of millions of taxpayers who face
the March deadline. 1t not only
takes money to run war but it
takes more money to reconstruct
our own affairs, to say nothing
about restoring the affairs of peO-
pie in foreign countries who are
holding on by their boot-straps and
shOe-strings.
New homes are to be built at in
creased costs, and the furnishings
for those homes will be twice as ex-
pensive as a half dozen years ago
Well, of course we must have
clothing and everything from toe
less shoes to new coats, at new and
higher prices.
1t seems needless to speak of
wage increases, and price raises.
But that seems to be only simple
arithmetic, after all
Some of our optimistic officials
in Washington admit that there is
going to be "bit of initiation" but

ATONING BLOOD; VOICE or GOD

BY r. A. Hall. Milford, Del
A Saviour's hands and brow are
bleeding
A fountain flows from His dear side
Don't you hear His dear voice
pleading
Sinner, come, your sins I'll hide.
I'll forgive and will pardon
| will wash your sins away
I've been through Gethesmane's
Garden
Come, Sinner. come, o come today
From the cross My bleeding feet
Have marked the way for You to
TO find a safe and sure retreat
From sin and folly here below.
| will lead you through the Valley
Through the shadows OF liell'S
night
Through the devils danger alley
Into Heavens clear sunlight.
But for you, Friend, time is fleet
Death is crouching on your track
Soon the Judgment you'll be meet
ing
Too late then to turn back.
Let Me wash your every stain
With My blood so freely shed
You've nothing to lose, but all to
gain
For you I've suffered there; and
bled.
p. S.-Sinner: Only by the pre-
ciOus blood of a suffering. dying
Saviour can your sins be covered
and hid from ii just and angry God
repent and find pardon--for with
out the shedding of blood, there is
no remission of sins.-IIeb. 1922. II

MUSIC IN THE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL

Most people wonder what we do
in music in the elementary school.
TO the children, music is a vital
part of the school day.
In the regular music lessons of
grades one and two we teach the
children how to sing, that is help
ing them to develop a larger reg
lister of tons than they had. Along
with this is the teaching of songs
that help the children learn to sing
in tune. The time is divided up by
listening to the singing of the tea
cher and other pupils and the pu
other part of the music program
in grades one and two is the rhyth-
mic. This is pure fun for most of
the children. The early stages of
learning the rhythms of walk,
march, run, jump, hop, skip, sway,
see-sa w-swing, and gallop to mu-
sic is like a game. We strive to
have every child learn to do these
rhythms as nearly perfect to the
music as possible.
In grades three and four we do
some to the class room routine
Learning what makes music tick is
a big thrill in the third grade
There we begin to learn to read
music
We use syllables in teaching the
scale and that is a basic for our
music reading From third grade
and even second grade a great deal
is said about the phrases in music
and their likeness. This helps with
the eye and ear training. Children
learn that knowing phrases short
ems their job of sight-reading of a
new song if any of the phrases
happen to be alike.
Although we do some of all the
activities heretofore mentioned
fifth and sixth grades spend most
OF their time learning songs anC
learning about people and things
i'll music. After much singing Of
rounds in fourth grade we begir
to read two-part music in fifth
grade. We continue two-part music
in sixth grade and strive toward {
goal of singing a few three-par
songs before the term is over.
Because some children are more
gifted musically than others, W,
have two choruSes to give thos'
people a chance to sing more diff
cult music and a chance to worl

1T is NECESSARY for business and in
dustry to lay their plans for long term Of
years. This is a firmly established procedure
without which no business can long remain
alive At no time in our peace-tlme history
have those men directing private enterprises,
whether heads of great industries employ
ing thousands of workers or the small shop
keeper whose livelihood depends on keeping
his business going, faced the future amid
such doubts, fears and grave uncertainties.
American spirit is traditionally one of initi-
ative, of eagerness to organize new ventures,
and to push forward always. This spirit at the
present time is oppressed with forebodlngs.
Labor troubles, which setback recOnVerSlOn,
are gradually passing. They always do. Why,
then, this feeling of uncertainty, the reluc
tance to make plans for expanding activities,
this fear to take a chance on our Nations fu-
ture? This lack of initiative seems to spring
from the conviction that a settled govern
mental policy for business control has not as
vet been determined
During the war years Congress, Of neceS-
sity, passed rigid, but temporary, controls on
the lives of all of us. That they were admin
istered wisely at all times is open to debate.
That the Congress intended no permanent
control over American economy is evident by
the clause which limits their life to six months
after the official close of the war. Now comes
a demand from some quarters that many of
the controls which had been rescinGed be re-
instated. This creates fear on the part of the
manufacturer-and Of the retailer Labor
demands retention of production and distri-
button controls Our greatest protection
against initiation is full production, and full
competition. There is no encouragement to
manufacturers to produce, on retailers to sell,
when the articles manufactured are priced
lower than the costs of production. Fair
profits are necessary to any business. But
Notwithstanding the fact that private enter
prise, as we have always understood it, is
now under fire from several directions, it
would be foolish for its supporters to despair.
This is now the time for those who believe in
the American system to hold to their ideals
AS sure as the sun rises in the East and sets
in the West, the American way Of life will
prevail

We might hope to getaway with
all these domestic problems, but
the biggest turn-arOund of all real
ly refers to the alleged United"
nations, which boils over with dis
turbances.
The United Nations OrganiZa-
ton will be housed in the Empire
State Building in New York before
the robins come again. Let us hope
that the highest building in the
World may protect the World from
the "high-hats" supplied by the
World Government to save a World
that seems to continue to be not
more than half free.
