MARRIED TEACHER. —_—————— Increased Car Loading “That ‘railroad frieght. traffic and general business have been improving |rapidly during the early months of this year, is indicated by the fact that the number of carloads of freight handled up to April 1, when the coal strike began, has been greater than it has been for any other of the past five years except the record year 1920," says the Railway Age in an editorial in its current issue, “the to- tal car loading since April 1 has nat- urally shown a reflection ‘of the re- duced coal production but from Jan- uary 1 to April 1 the total number of cars louded with revenue freight was 9,996,184, as compared with 9,015,934 during the corresponding period of 1921, although it was less than for 1920 when a total of 10,223,813 cars were loaded. The number of cars of freight received by the railroads for transportation up to April 1 was, of course, swelled considerably ‘by the amount of ‘coal ordered fer storage ‘in anticipation of the strike, just as the reduction in coal loading at the present time will doubtless be made up later on when the strike is over jor when the present reserves become | diminished. However, there have also been large increases in the loading of merchandise and miscellaneous freight. It is also true that a carload of freight represents less tons this year than it did when the shortage of freight cars made the shippers mote responsive to the efforts of the rail- roads to induce them to load cars to capacity. “However, the tonnage and ton- mile figures will not be available for some time and in their absence the gains shown in car loading totals rep- resent one of the reasons for optim- ism which have recently been reflect- ed in a beginning of railroad pur- chases on a much larger scale than has prevailed for several years. While there are still seme 300,000 freight! cars out of service for need of repairs, the number of serviceable surplus cara had been reduced from 500,000 a year to 206,746 by March 31 this year.” How Like William An ex-kasier hoax has just been ex- posed by a discovery at Strasbourg during the demolition of a monument to William I which used to stand on the Kaiser plata a square that has been renamed Place de la Republique. ‘When the statue was erected in 1911 it.was announced that the kaiser, who unveiled it, had caused to be incased jin the pedestal an urn containing specimens of all the gold, silver and jcopper coins in use during his grand- father’s reign.
