1A visitor to the offices of a his
firm ,was struck by the lazy move-
ments of an elderly member of the
staff. who seemed. all the same. to
be“ on good terms with the others.
“How long has that man worked
for you?" he asked the manager.
:‘About four hours. i should say."
"Indeed! I should have Judged
from his manner that he had been
here longer than that."
“He has," said the manager. "He's
been here about two years."

U. S. Annual Report
By GEORGE 'I‘. HUGHES.
(Copyright. 1925.)
In the last article in this series
comment was made upon the annual
report of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road snd some of the lessons con-
tained therein as to investment in
railroad securities.
The interstate Commerce prescrib-
ed a uniform classification of freight
which all the railroads use in their
annual reports. It is interesting to
note what. products a railroad trans.
ports ill the greatest amounts. in
the case of the Northern Pacific
"products of forests" takes first
place, More tone of lumber and sim-
ilar articles are carried than any-
thing else. "Products of mines" come
second and "products of agriculture"
is a close third. Now it is lumber
in which the Panama Canal figures
as a competitor most seriously.
it follows then that any relief
which the interstate Commerce
Commission may allow the railroads
toward meeting the canal competi-
llOll which will help most roads in
the same position as the Northern
Pacific.
Observe too that out of the "pro-
ducts of mines“ bituminous coal is
more than 50 per cent. The soft coal
trade has been greatly depressed the
past year and still is depressed. Any
improvement here would help the
Northern Pacific. Grain is the mo“
important item among "products of
agriculture.” Obviously the state of
the crops is a very vital matter to
this road as to many others.
There are other interesting facts to
be gleaned from study of-the freight
classification report all of which
have a bearing on the investment
status of rsllvvaystocks and bonds.
Now let us see how those traffic ro~

The average amount. of

“Those who are misled into buy-

Your Vacation;
Don’t Be Too Strenuous During
Practical Advice
The Connecticut State Department
of Health, Dr. s. H. Osborn. com-
missioner. has issued the following
statement on summer vacations:
“There comes exhilaration with
the thought of the summer months
-—for among them are a few weeks
which We are to claim as our very
own. This is the time when we lock
our desk and turn toward the stin-
shine and great open spaces where
we can relax. . -
“For many weeks now we have
been planning for this vacation. and
our natural inclination will lesd'us
to the mountains or sea shore. or
the ocean trip. as the case may be.
To those who have failed to budget
their year to include some playtime
or relaxation along the way. these
few short weeks may become a ve-
ritable orgy of events which fail to
yield real benefit .to health. To
those. however. whose daily life has
a fair sprinkling of fun, or change
from work. then such a vacation is
but a continuation of a well-rounded
day. in which the balance between
work and play has been shifted.
"Some people work too hard for
their' fun. Accustomed to a life
without exercise. they thrust them-
selves into such a vigorous program
of sports—rowing. swimming. hik-
ing. ball playing. that the reaction is
too sudden. and the result is disas-
trous. To one who has done no
climbing foreleven months. it is
unwise to attempt the highest moun-
tain on the first day. This should
be led up to gradually. as day by
'day. longer distances are covered.
Take note of the well-planned camps
for young eople. The plasma: is
planned through the season with the
idea. of strengthening the muscles
and increasing the endurance by
the more strenuous events at the
end of the period.
"So will: swimming. It is down-
right folly to attempt long distance
swimming the first day unless one
has kept up the practice in swim-
ming pools all winter. Especially is
this true of adults. who have led a
rather sedentary life. There have
been fatal accidents from drowning
because of cramps due to unusual
exercise. or exertion beyond the en-
durance.
“Vacation time is not always play
time-change of work often brings
relaxation by diverting the mind into
channels. A new point of view is
often all that is needed to renew
one's zest forethe daily routine.
Farm work offers an opportunity to
many a school or college boy. and
this often proves to be a real health
measure with its life in the open.
fairly regular hours. sleep which is
sound as a result of physical exer-
cise. and simple. nourishing food.
Many a college girl has found a. real
vacation. too. through some employ.
ment at camp or hotel at some va-
cation resort. if the work is not. too
strenuous or the hours too long to
admit of some fun out in the open.
"Nor should the reaction be all
one rest period. Relaxation—drop-
ping the strain of the nervous busi-
ness life is the object sought. But
some form of exercise will often turn
the trick. especially if this be some
sport in which others join. Com.
panionship and social intercourse
with others, meeting new friends.
exchanging new ideas—all tend to
lighten the load and relieve the mind
of self-absorption. ‘
"50 play in moderation. And re-
turn from vacation with renewed,
gradual development. leading up to

Key Didn't Know the Rule.
(Wall Street Journal.)
A farmer was in the habit of fly~
ing the Stars and Stripes for a week
or ten days after national holidays.
A visiting nephew noting it still fly-
ing three days after the Fourth took
his uncle to task for not lowering
the flag. The farmer replied that
he liked to see. it flying and was in
no hurry to take it down.
The nephew persisting in the ar-
gument suggested that the flag
should always be lowered at sunset
to which the farmer replied:
"Well. how do you suppose the
lines 'Oh. say can you see by the
dawn‘s early light“ were written if
the flag had not been flying all
night."

Mrs. Rogers was not a suffragist
but. like other women either doubt-
ful of the propriety of woman suf-
frage or openly antsganletlc. when
the amendment was adopted she ac-
cepted the fact and devoted herself
to the responsibilities of citizenship
thereby imposed on her-sex.
Some of the more outhpoken of
the militant suffrsgists have recent-
ly been expressing their disappoint-
ment and chagrin over the fact they
have not been preferred for public
office above their formerly skeptical
or recalcitrant sisters. These suf-
frage leaders fully expected that
when the ballot was once conferred
they would become the women lead-
ers in politics. A few of them had
the vision of a distinctive woman's
party under their guidance and
control. But they have since been
reluctantly and somewhat petulant-
ly coming to the conclusion that
their original expectations were
vain. '
Many of the suffrage leaders.

political or congressional action. As
such they are more given to asking
questions of candidates. both male
and female. and of giving publicity

to finding popular favor as candl-
