His report is based on official revised operating returns from 10 companies representing more than 50 per cent of the total industry in the United States for last year, and sub--1 sequent supplemental reports. Os the 180 companies, 103 are city lines and 77 ar-* interurban. Their total operating revenue for 1921 was $.13’.493 compared with $650,149,8106 ■for the entire industry during 1917. Partly cloudy and somewhat unsettled tonight and Thursday; not ■much change in temperature.

Pinkhams ' Vegetable Compound, which was man I ufactured from a thorough under- | understanding of the nervous system ; of women?
