Any of 2 Million
Cars Can Be Found

There are 2 million freight
cars somewhere on 373,500
miles of track in the United
States. Can any one possibly
know where all those cars
are?
Some are on remote sid
ings. some are rolling across
the Western prairie, some
are massed in great freight
yards. But where there is a
system, there's a way.
American Association of
Railway experts say that in
most circumstances they can
locate any Of those freight
cars In an hours time by a
quick check with the rail-
road operating the car.

AAR, Railroads 2O-Yeor-OId Prodigy,
Oversees Vast Industry From Capital

Behind the network Of thun-S
dering trains criss- crossing the
Nation stands the organization
which on Tuesday celebrates its
goth birthday.
A sort Of engineer behind the
engineer, the Association of
American Railroads has come of
age early while keeping the trains
on schedule with the times. The
year AAR was born. steam
was still the thing. That year.
1894. the first diesel-electric
powered locomotive tipped along
the rails.
Now gas turbine locomotives
are being tested, atomic energy
Is ready to move out Of the
dream stage. and it seems in
evitable that the diesel will join
the old iron horse as museum
piece.
Born Of Progress.
Fostering such progress. the
AAR itself was born of prog
ress-the unifying successor to
q number Of earlier associations
which often had duplicated ef-
fort.
The AAR now has 1876
railroad members. s5 per cent
Of the industry. and 635 en-
ployes. OF these, 270 work at
national headquarters in the
Transportation Building at Sew
enteenth and H streets NV. So
in one sense Washington is the
hub Of the railroad industry.
Besides policy advice given by
its 21-director board, made up
OF the major railroads chief
executives. AAR supplies almost
every kind. Of service short Of
actual operation of the trains.
One Of the most important is
the job Of moving freight cars to
meet seasonal demands. For ex-
ample, the car service divisions
13 offices each spring must round
up thousands of cars to have
them in the right place to move
the vital wheat crop from farm to
storage elevators to markets and
finally to homes.
Equipment Improved.
Keeping the equipment up to
date Is the task Of the mechani-
cal division. It has led the way
for all manner of improvement,
such as the present IS per cent
dieselization of railroads. The
AAR gave boost to air condi-
tioning. lining, and other
recent devices like dome cars,
roomette Pullman cars. snack
bar cars, double deck suburban
train cars and self-propelled
passenger cars.
Behind this advancement is
the associations Research Center
In Chicago, working jointly with
individual companies and saving
the industry millions in operat-
ing costs.
Safety is an association con-
cern, too. It's signal section is
ever busy improving automatic
blocks, highway crossing signals
and other devices for the protec-
ton of passengers. Push-button
control has stepped up freight
routing in the complex freight
yards.
The AAR's communications
section has served progress with
the introduction Of speedy radio
communication. Today more

work integrating the railroads

 The sales tax was set up in Seward with the idea of dis tributing the tax load among the many transient and short term residents of the city, who would not ordinarily be paying any direct tax on income or property in the city, and for the rural residents whose children attend Seward schools. Surely, no par ent will argue that he has no responsibility toward the school when he realizes that the Ter ritory does not take care of the entire cost of educating his child.
 AS a matter of protection for themselves, if nothing more, business men should see the req soning behind a total collection of sales tax, and make no dis tinction between local and out of town residents.

Having heard of your request for unknown poets of Seward to take advantage of your Poets Corner, and write a bit of poetry for it, l am taking this oppor- tunity of making myself known, my poetry that is, not me.

sible, therefore, that SCOT, smoke.
and gases from modern industry
are contributing factors. In Great
Britain, according to the Swedish
scientist, latest statistics show
that as many men die from lung
cancer as from lung tuberculosis,
which seems to indicate that mod
ern industrialization may be an
additional cause. A similar con-
centration of lung cancer cases is
evident in the industrial districts
in Germany and Austria. Lung
cancer is found less frequently
among women. The probable rea-
son for this, in Professor Ring
ertz's opinion, is that women only
comparatively recently have be-
come heavy smokers. A specially
interesting territory of study will

fall in the central Swedish mining
district of Bergslagen. Lieutenant
General c. A. Ehrensvard, Chief
of the Army, will personally lead
the war games, in which 10000
fully trained conscripts will take
part. Army staff technicians will
construct magnesium bombs of
great luminous intensity to simu-

more like youngster of 60,
breezed into New York this week

dash down to Washington, D. c.,

aboard the S. S. Stavangerfjord,
because he is the company's Oldest

The white-haired, bearded ira
veler explained to reporters that
the wheel-chair he is obliged to
use is the result of youthful im-
petuosity five years ago, when he
jumped from running train.
During his hundred years. Mr..
Selliaas has been a farmer, a lum-

At the initiative of the Swedish
Tobacco Monopoly, a government
enterprise, nationwide poll will
be taken late this year of the
smoking habits of the Swedish
people. It will form a part of a
series of scientific Investigations
recently begun in Sweden for the
purpose of trying to determine the
possible connection between smok-
ing and lung cancer The results
will be analysed by the noted
pathologist, Professor Nils Ring
ertz, of the Sabbatsberg Hospital
in Stockholm. The poll will be
taken in November or December
so that Professor Ringertz will be
able to attend an international
medical congress in Washington,
D. c., in September, at which the
geographic distribution of cancer
will be discussed Other Swedish
doctors expected to be present are
Professor Folke Henschen, an
other prominent pathologist, and
Professor Ellis Berven, famous ra-
biologist and former head of the
Radium Home in Stockholm, who
is now attending cancer congress
in Sac Paulo, Brazil. After the
Washington meeting, Professor
Henschen has been invited to make
lecture tour in Mexico.
At the congress in Washington,
several countries, among them
Sweden. will present statistical
data regarding the five most COM
mon kinds Of cancer. Professor
Ringertz has specialized in stom-
ach and lung cancer, and will de-
liver the opening address,, THE Role
of Smoking in the Development of
Lung Cancer" which is based on
reports from a number of coun-
tries. He is expected to return to
Sweden around November 1, when
he will assist the Tobacco Mono
poly in it's poll. In analysing the
results of the inquiry, he will be
aided by DR.. Thure Wiklund, a
cancer specialist and an associate
of the famous Swedish cardiolo-
gist, Professor Clarence Crafoord.
Twenty Years of Intensive Smok-
ing May Lead to Lung Cancer
1t takes about twenty years of
intense smoking before a person
approaches the danger zone of
lung cancer, Professor Ringertz
said in recent newspaper inter-
view. The remarkable thing about
this disease, he pointed out, is that
in the last few decades it has in
creased at the same rate all over
the world among practically all
races, and that it is much more
prevalent in the big cities than
