WAL HEAD DEFENDS 1 PERCENTBO0ST Raise Would Restore Level of Ten Years Ago, Pennsy Vice President Says. By the Assoctated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 15. —Declaring a 15 per cent rise in rail- road freight rates merely would restore them to the level of 10 vears ago. Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, defended the proposed in- crease in an address before the Ohio Valley Shippers’ Advisory Board here today. = said the average revenue for n between 16 and 17 pel He ascribed this to a 10 per genera] decrease ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1922 and various individual revisions downward since then. The railroads’ return on property in- vestment never has reached 5 per cent since 1921, Lee said. And in 1930 it fell to 330 per cent. The situ- ation, he continued, makes it question- able whether railroads will earn fully the 1931 fixed charges on outstanding bonds, which he quoted as $12,500,- 000.000. Lee also said the roads were unable to carry on necessary maintenance and improvement because of low revenues. “The condition of affairs immediately before our eyes is not conspicuous for its_bright spots.” he concluded. | “However, I do not wish to be under- | stood s entertaining despair for the Without Country coLLEGE GIRL FACES PUZZLING SITUATION.

These P. C's. are natural thermostats in controlling the body’s tem- perature. When chilled, these tiny blood vessels contract, forcing the warm blood away from the cold spot. If much chilled, these tiny tubes contract so tightly that the minute muscles just beneath the surface of the skin pucker it into what we call “goose-flesh”. When the air becomes hot, the peripheral capillaries expand, bringing added blood to the skin. Their activity stimulates the sweat glands which discharge moisture to evaporate on 'OU KNOW it's too hot, or too chilly in your house because your P.
