THE ONLY CURE

Various cures have been suggested for the freight car short
age. But, as Warren C. Kendall of the Association of American
Railroads pointed out some time ago, "The only lasting cure is
an increase in the supply of freight cars"
Furthermore, there is no mystery as to why there is a
shortage now. During the depression freight car purchasing
was below normal due to lack of freight. The war followed close
on the heels of the depression, and during it relatively few
freight cars could be built due to material shortages. Existing
equipment was worn out rapidly by wars demands on the trans
portation system. Since the end of the wal, there has been
an unprecedented peacetime demand for railroad service. Thus,
the present shortage is primarily the result of tremendous de-
mand imposed upon war-depleted car supply and continued
shortage of materials.
The railroads have placed orders for many thousands of
new cars, and they are being put in service as rapidly as manu-
facturers can make delivery. In the meantime, cars on hand
are being distributed to the various sections of the country on
an equitable basis. The charge made a few months ago that
the West was being strangled for lack of freight cars was i'm
medately exploded. Western carloadings have been keeping
pace with other regions, and more freight is being handled by
the western roads than ever before.
The railroads are making every piece Of rolling stock per-
form peak service. The car problem will be gradually eased as
new stock is received.

A WORD OF

Health authorities throughout the state and nation are
alerted for a possible recurrence of an infantle paralysis cpl
demic, says the Helena Observation-Disclosures. So far there have
been few cases reported, giving rise to the hope the experience
of last year will not be repeated.
To that end the public can make great contributions. Par
ents of small children have an obligation in this regard which
must not be neglected.
Certain simple rules, if followed conscientiously, are known
to be effective. Children must be kept in good general health
Fatigue is a contributing factor. Youngsters should have a
daily rest period, preferably a mid-afternoon nap. Keep them
out of the hot sun, encouraging play every morning and late
evening.
Because it is generally understood the infection comes by
way of the mouth, hands should be washed before eating, not
only at mealtime, but otherwise.
Avoid crowds whenever possible. And above all have the
youngsters checked regularly by a competent physician. In
fantle paralysis is a terrible thing, and prevention is it's best
cure.

Farm Wives Benefit
From Diverse Tasks
Chances for Happy Old Age Are
Above the Average.

NEW YORK.-In an age of spe
cialization, farm wives age NOR.
successfully than any other group
of people in the United States be.
cause their skills are not special
lied, says DR.. George Lawton, prac.
ticing psychologist and author. DR..
Lawton has spent Is years in re.
search-testing of people from Is to
30 to determine the roots and
causes of unhappy old age.
Most people are forced to develop
a particular skill with which they
can earn a living, DR.. Lawton
points out. But as they get older,
this skill no longer can be used to
advantage and the senile person not
only becomes a burden to society,
but also is maladjusted.
"The farm wife," said DR.. Law
ton, "can cook, bake, sew, milk
cows, take care of livestock, can
meats and vegetables, take care of
a garden and pitch hay, if neces-
sary. Her chances of a happy old
age are well above those of the
average business man for instance,
who becomes neurotic when he is
forced into idleness because of old
age.
Some business men, however,
succeed in diversifying their inter-
ests 81 that a man like Howard
Hughes, for instance, will never
grow DID," DR.. Lawton says.
"They can be forever independent
and alert. Hughes, now Al, produces
movies, manufactures rock bits for
oil well drilling, designs planes and
invents safety devices for aircraft.
Because Hughes always has been
own test pilot, he has proved
he is more interested in adding
life to his years than years to his
life and is willing to take chances"
DR.. Lawton believes that all life
a constant struggle against ma
lure and that only those with a zest
or the struggle a be successful.
The farmer, as well as his wife,
,ften has the best psychological
for a creative and indie
pendent old age because he is used
o this battle" DR.. Lawton points
'ut. "The farmer always CANDLES
the weather, for instance,
nd takes a chance on the success
f his crops each year. Most farm
rs share a multiplicity of skills
nth their wives so that, even in old
&c, they can be useful and inter-
sting citizens"
DR.. Lawton is the author of
Aging Successfully" recently pub
shed. He is preparing another book
allied "Agirg Creatively." He also
.ctures at New York university on
lie problems of everyday living.

simply that a workman could buy
