RAILWAYS SET NEW RECORD
FOR FREIGHT MOVEMENT
Rapidly Overloming Handicaps of
Strikes, Increased Production, and
Opposition to Rate Increase.
Washington,—During the week
ended July 16th there were loaded on
the railways of the South 127,485
cars of commercial freight, an in¬
crease of 10,762 cars over the loading
for the same week Iasi year and an
increase of 3,981 cars over the same

MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF
RAILROAD
Savannah, Ga.,—(Special)- -The
| railroads begun of Georgia have already
to put into effect the policy
adopted at a meeting in New York a
few days ago, of the Association of
j immediate Railway Executives, looking to an
and material reduction in
the freight car shortage throughout
the United States.
In the first place, It was unani
determined at that meeting
to increase the average daily move¬
ment of freight cars to 30 miles per
day as against 23.1 in 1949 and 24.6
in 1918. It has been estimated that
this increase of more than 5 miles
per day over the movement under
Government control will be equiva
lent to adding between 400,000 and
500,000 cars to the available supply
of equipment.
The determination, in the second
place, to increase the average loading
of cars to 30 tons, or about 1 ton
the average attained in 1919,
which was the high record, will, it is
stated, mean another 50,000 to 75,
000 ad(led to the available car supply,
It is also stated the available sup
ply will be increased by about 80,000
Cars more through decrease from
7.4 per cent to 4 per cent of the cars
listed in “bad order.”
These three factors, together with
a material reducton in - the number
of locomotives “unfit for service,
and the determination to bring about
speedier return of cars to owner
roads, will, according to careful es¬
timates, add something like 600,000
cars to the available equipment sup
ply, the good effect of which will be
gin to be fclt at once upon transpor
t a ti on service
Under present labor and material
conditions it would require years to
turn out that number of new cars,
and in the meantime the country’s
business would be retarded accor
dingly. This action of the railroads
in itself will tend to relieve the situ
atton far more speedily than if or
ders were placed for double that
number of cars, because of the time
required to turn them out, not to
speak of the provision of funds with
which to pay for them.

war material to France.- These figures
are taken from the records of the

reports are made by all the large

MIGHT-BE-YOU AND THE FRUIT OF GOLD.
An Old Story In A New Dreis.

Soon after that, there was
excitement in the village. The

the people of the counrty who were
able to have the suitable clothes
might attend the feast. But he

suitably dressed. It was rumored that
the Prince would choose a wife. Dear,
little Might-Be-You- did so wish that
she could go. Her stepmother and
sisters talked of nothing but the ball,
and „ 1 kept __, . her , busier .. than ,,

Prince passed through the street in
his fine carriage. Might-Be-You stood
with the crowd to see him pass. He
bowed to right and to left, and finally
he looked straight at the little maid

queer feeling of something that she
was trying to remember, something
that she liked very much.

Down the moonbeam path glided a

blue coat over a dress that was made
with a. very full quilted petticoat of
brown satin, and a very full over
drapery of green, brocaded in all
sorts of bright-colored fruits and
Vegetables, intermingled in the
queerest, richest fashion. You never
would have thought that such a mix
ture would be pretty, but it was. She
wore a tall pointed hat of blue on

Might-Be-You, said the little old
woman in a sort of bird-like chirping
voice, “I’m your fairy god-mother.
You didn’t know you had one. Did
you?”
(14 No!’ said Might-Be-You. ‘But
I’m glad. How beautiful and strange
Y ou are! What’s your name, God
mother?’
<(< I have a great many names, dear
child. Many, many years ago they
called me Mother Ceres. Some people
call me, to-day, Mother Sow and
Reap. I’m very much pleased with
you, because you work so hard and
are so kind and cheerful. I’ve sent
.you many dreams before.’

this is the best of alL .

“This is to be best of all, and the
