Increase Granted In Railroad Fares Fares 50 Percent Over Pre-war Rate Washington. Nov. 15 — (UP) —' Passengers on 61 east-rn railroads today faced another fare increase that will hike rates to 50 percent : above those of prewar days. The 125 piH-ent boo-t applies to all <oach. parlor and pullm-m car fares of carriers operating east of the Mississippi and nor h of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Commuter fart-s are not affected. The increase was authorized yesterday by the interstate commerce commission and can be put into effect bv the railroads on five days' notice to the public. The Increase, the third granted the carriers in three years and the fourth since just before the war. brings the cost of coach tickets to 3.375 cents per mile, and pullman and parlor car fares to 4.5 cents per mile. The prewar fares were two and three cents a mile respectively. A one-way coach trip from New York to St. Louis, for example, wou'd cost 235.93, an Increase of 23.99. The first class fare would be 347.55, up 25.28. One way coach fares on the N w York-Washington run would go up from 26.74 to 27.58. and pullman and parlor car fares one way would increase from 28.93 to 110 05. The ICC order also fixed a minimum increase of five cents In fares and established a floor of 20 cents on any one-way trip, i Railroads In th" south and west did not app'y for the new Increase. Basic fares in those areas now are ’ 2.5 cents a mile for coaches and 3.5 cents in parlor cars and sleep1 era. The eastern carrier l . In petitioning for the boost, estimated that 1 It would bring In about 237,800.000 a rear more in revenue and partlv offset a 2100,000,000 deficit on lasF year's passenger operations. ' Among ancient peoples of southern Arabia, the moon god was the supreme deity rather than the sun god so popular in other places, notes the National Geographic So ciety.

Hence worship of the moon grew up with the nomads' use of it to light their f way and to figure time and dates I by Its phases.
