SAYS RAILROAD CONTROL SAVED MONEYJN SOUTH Nine Million Dollars Saved in
Operating Expenses, Bushs Report Claims. (By Associated Praaa) WASHINGTON, Feb. & Apprbximately J9.000.000 was saved In operates expenses of the railroads In the southeastern region during the year just closed, by unification of terminals, consolidation of repair facilities, a system of interchange switching and elimination . of unnecessary mileage, according to the annual report of B. F. Bush, southwestern director for the United States railroad administration, made nubile today. " ' .
"The, southwestern region with Its
many cantonments - and army camps, was called upon to meet unusual pas
senger train conditions", the report says. - "Competitive passenger trains were eliminated in some instances
and consolidated in others. Schedules of through trains were lengthened and local work added in order to eliminate
local trains. Under this arrangement a total of 4, 411,244 miles was conserved in passenger train service, effecting a curtailment in passenger train expenses of $3,661,333. i Freight 8aving Made. "In the handling of freight great savings were effected by elimination of unnecessary freight mileage. This resulted largely from the discontinuance of competition among the roads which permitted car load traffic to be mover over the most direct routes. "In the passenger and freight departments, $2,600,000 was saved by the closing of competitive offices and reductions in the crelical force." Quarter Million British Troops Are Demobilized
Railroad Companies Must Be Reorganized, Says Director General (By Associated Press). WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 Director General Hlnes expressed the opinion before the senate Interstate commerce committee today that a permanent solution could not be found for the railroad problem without a reorganizaHnn of railroad comnanies on the basis
of invested capital or without consoli-1
dation to eliminate the wide dirrerence between the strength of various roads.
If this was not done, he said, one roaa would make excess profits with the same prescribed rate on which a weaker line would starve. The public and
labor he feared would always reel suspicious of "watered capital" if this organization were not effected. In this connection Mr. Hines said the question of capitalization and their valuation was likely to become an issue in future applications for higher wages. Isolate Virus of Flu and Trench Fever

When you pick up your morning or afternoon newspaper and glance over the advertising you quite unconsciously multiply yourself a thousand times. In half or three-quarters of an hour you can, metaphorically speaking, visit every progressive store in town. You virtually poke your head into every department of every department store. You run into the florist's, the confectioner's, the oculist's, the leading groceries, banks, theatres, all the various places that supply the things that make this the twentieth century and life worth the living. Here, is a greater choice in clothing, food, furniture, books, pictures, musical instruments, travel, entertainment, opportunities for investment, the service of public utility corporations than any monarch of old could command. It would easily take a thousand yous, traveling hard all day, to find out for yourself what the advertisements tell you in a few minutes morning or evening. . .-.,. ' l They deserve your attention. They deserve your confidence. Without them, without the progressive spirit of the merchants and manufacturers who back them, the gerat abundance of things you now enjoy would be a memory or something still to be realized. Without advertising the prices you would have to pay for many of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies would make a dollar look like a snow ball on the kitchen: range. , , Read the advertisements. Read them for your own information and advantage. Read them to encourage the advertisers who are making these better things possible for you.
