is low enough to indicate adequate

’ "As to money rates, I expect just
about the usual 1-‘ali increase. The
demand for money will work in this
. direction."
8. 0. Dunn. editor of
Age. said: ,
"Present indications are that rail-
road freight business during the rest
of this year will be as large as. and.
in fact. in most parts of the country
larger than it ever has been in the
lust onc<third of any previous year.
The weekly car loadings recently
have exceeded those of correspond-
ing weeks of 1924 and 1023. They
are not an exact measure of ship-
'monts, but analysis of the statistics
of loadings shows that the actual
number of tons of freight being
shipped is substantially larger than
a. year ago. ‘
"There are several good reasons
for believing that the increase in
\ shipments will continue. Good busi-
ness for any period depends upon
general business conditions, upon
coal shipments and upon the crops.
There seems to be unanimity of
opinion among leaders of business
that present general conditions are
sound. There is less coal in storage
now than in any mid-summer for
three years. and therefore the
amount transported during the rest
of the year will be unusually large.
Finally. the crop situation inxgen:
oral seems favorable. The rail—
ways still have surpluses of locomo-
tives and freight curs “'IIIOIIW
cate they will be able to meet the
prospective demands upon them.
“While freight business is good
and promising the same cannot be
said of passenger business. The in-
crease in the use of private automo-
biles and Inotor buses has caused a
steady reduction of. passenger busi-
ness since 1920, and in every month
of this year it has been less than
last year." a
"In our judgment." said James
Simphon. president of Marshall Field
and Company. "general merchan-
dising conditions are excellent.
"The crop condition of the. coun-
try is excellent and the purchasing
power of the country. great as it is
at the moment. promises to be even
better for the rest of the year.
“Our own business shows a heat-
thy galn in volume of distribution
over the same period of a year ago
and we anticipate that our distribu-
tion for the rest of the year will
show, an even larger gain than for
the period up to date."

SAY EXPERTS
Too Much Lime in Wa-
ter Causes Trouble,
Hence Watchfulness
—=-Laboratory Tests
A steam locomotive would be the
last thing which would be expected
to be particular about the kind of
water it drinks. but it is, and has to
be babied, declares the current is-
sue of “Along the Line." official pub-
lication of the New Haven Railroad.
Limo Causes Trouble.
If the water contains too much
lime. or too much of this element.
or too much of that. the locomotive
will develop stomach trouble! The
insides of the boiler may break out
in a rash and become blistcred, or
even worse consequences may re.
sult. So that‘s one little job for the
test department—analyzing samples
of water periodically from various
points and determining whether it
is necessary to "doctor" it by add-
ing some compound to neutralize
the possible bad effects. and. if so,
what.
Nestled away between New Haven
shop buildings is the test depart-
ment laboratory. To reach it you
have to walk half a dozen blocks
from the office building. cross a
wooden bridge with a high board
fence on each side which carries you
safelyovcr tracks and high-powered
electric wires. and thread your way
between the various shop buildings.
The laboratory itself is a two-story
brick building. with the ground floor
tilled withyarious machines for phy-
sical tests. and the second floor oc-
cupied by the chemical department.
Through the courtesy of Engineer
of Tests F. T. Quinlan. we were priv-
ileged to make a, trip through the
laboratory and look around.
Big Tater.
Perhaps the most massive of the
many machines there is Richie test-
ing machine. This is a device for
measuring the tensile strength. elas-
ticity, and the yield point of metal—
chicily iron, steel and brass—and it
is capable of exerting a pull up to
150,000 pounds. For purposes of
testing metal in the machines. a
piece of the metal in question is cut
to a. certain size and shape called
a “standard test piece,” which Is
then inserted in the machine.
Another machine there is for test-
ing rubber and asbes‘os tape. There
is an air hammer for testing Chisels.
which determines to what depth the
chisel will go into metal before the
point is worn off. There is a. steam
rack to which hose can be attached
and subjected to steam running
through it at certain pressure for
certain lengths of time. There is a
drill with which to secure drillings
of metal to be sent upstairs for
chemical analysis. In another place
is a small lathe for any machining
which may be necessary. A heating
oven is there for testing rubber
packing and determining the amount
of heat it will stand. There is even
a still—but only for distilling water!
Another device for testing hose is a
water pump which can be pumped
up by hand to a pressure of 3,000
pounds. There are other machines,
large and small. most of them with

He is Buck Duke, son of Wash-

expect a chemical laboratory to look.
There are rows of phials and retort:

uninitiated the whole place has a

feel like watching his. step lest be“
upset or break something which will
cause the whole place to blow up!
Among other things. here is an
electrolythic machine which deter-
mines the content of brass drillings.
There is a centrifuge. which. the
chemist explains, is practically the
same as is used in laundries for’dry-
tag. This one. however is used to

'Aug. ill—Con-
man connected with the liquor seiz-
ure yesterday morning. prohibition
enforcement agents were awaiting
according to Group Head Edward B.
Dooian. it will be a matter of hours
only. before onelor more arrests are
made.
Eighty-five barrels of Canadian
ale. each containing 10 dozen bot-
tles, were seized by Dooian and
Agent Charles Keene in the North
Bridgeport yard of the New Haven
road. The liquor. in a freight car
consigned to the Frank Miller Lum-
ber company. is worth $10,000 at
bootleg prices, 75 cents or a dollar a
bottle. ‘
Before the prohibition agents or-
rived at the siding on liousamnic
avenue abOut 7 o'clock yesterday
morning. a truclcload‘of liquor had
been removed from the car. About
65 barrels were removed. it was es-
timated. This would bring the total
bootleg value of the shipment up to
$18,000.
Officials of the lumber company
were or loss to account for the con-
signment and maintained they had
no connection with it according to
Doolan. Investigation determined
that a legitimate bill of lading ha‘d
been prescntcd at the New Haven
freight offices. freight charges of
$204.60 paid, and the car was put
on the siding about 2 o'clock yester-
day morning.
Railroad ot‘ficials informed Dool-
an that it is their custom. when a
bill of ladlng is presented and freight
charges paid. to turn goods over to
the person. whether or not it is con-
signed to him. It was learned that
this was the first time anything
consigned to the lumber company
was not turned over to the com-
pany.
Doolan said he has no reason to
believe. from his investigation so for.
that any large amount of liquor has
come into the city in this way in the
past. .
The car was found to contain
about 150 bundles of spruce laths‘
which had been placed in front of
the doors and over the tops of the
barreils. The shipment came from
Montreal and was passed at the port
ofcentry to this country. Vanceboro.

Haven Tuesday and the freight
charges were paid Tuesday after-
noon.
