CHILDREN WHO DON’T CRY A heart-rending picture of wronged childhood is given by Con- igsby Dawson in an article in Good Housekeeping. He describes a hos- pital, improvised from old barracks, where 500 little French patients are being treated. They are mostly refugees from the territory long held by the Germans, and now restored to France. All of them have suffered the terrors of war. There are boys and girls of seven who have.seen more of horror) than most old men have read about in a lifetime. They come from vil- lages where. they have seen the dead lying in piles. amid the wreckage of their homes, aid where their moth- ers and. sisters were not spared. They have seen men hanged, shot, bayonetted and flung into burning houses. 3 The pictures of all these things stick indelibly in their minds and crowd out normal childhood ;thots. Their bodies are _ sick, but their minds are more afflicted. They have lost all desire to play. And worst of all, they never cry. Their days and nights are passed in silent s»tood- ing. “Nights is the troublesome time. The children hide under their beds with terror. The nurses have to gd the rounds continually.

The standardization of cars is a case in point. With that on the way to ac- complishment, the administration is giving its attention to another im- portant matter, car-loading. The possibilities along this line may be imagined from a set of esti- mates regarding the transportation of fertilizer. Last year the average quantity hauled in a car was 20 tons. and the average length of the haul was 127 miles. Inasmuch. as the total output of commercial fertilizer was 6,400,000 tons, it appears that on this basis its transportation required 820,000 cars, ‘traveling 40,640,000 car miles. Now, it happens that the capacity of 2n average car is not 20 tons, but 50 tons. That is to say, those fer- tilizer cars. were not half filled. Sup- pose they had carried 30 tons apiete. Then there would have heen a, saving of 50 per cent in cars and haulage. If the cars iad all been full, there would apparently have been a saving of 192,000 freight cars and 24,384,- 000 car miles, eliminating the car famine and making an immense say- ing in fuel, terminal space, etc. It is not to. be expected: that cars can be uniformly filled to capacity with any kind of fréight, hut the rail- road administration is working to- ward that end and anticipates a big saving. The fertiliger problem is mostly a question of intelligent un- derstanding and forethought on the part of manufacturers, dealers, re- tail merchants and farmers. All are asked to co-operate, with a view to combining orders in sufficient quan- tity to guarantee a maximum. car- load. A systematic effort to apply this principle uniformly to bulky. freight in general would go far toward: solv- ing both our transportation and fuel problems. ——-0 - G3as3N SHOOS JYOuE The country is very proud of the increase in the size of, its army, and espccially of the number of men sent overseas. The country knows. that the end of the war now depends upon the number of troops in the fields. Do the women realize that more, troops mean ever so many socks? Many airs of socks should be fin- ished for every sweater, becanse the sweaters Wear longer. needed, and helmets a the winter approaches, and wristlets, too, But socks are needed most of all, and in enormous, quantities.
