In fact, this| 15 per cent is taking rates approxi- | mating 35 per cent of our total| freight revenue, so that for the other | per cent, we receive only 65 per | cent of our total freight revenue. | Now, if my arithmetic is correct, ind 1 think it is, the railroads are in danger of losing their most prof- itable transportation and having left that which is least profitable. I do not ask for any favor on that ac- | count, but only that we should be put on the same basis as our com- petitors in an endeavor 10 recovep some portion of the business which has left us. I think we have the right to be on the highways and on the water on the same rms as other operators. 1f they are to be free, we should be free. If, as seems better, both of us should be regulated in the interest of reasonable and non- discriminatory rates and service, then should both of us be under the same regulation Yours very truly New York, Dec. 12.—Thoughts while strolling: Who remembers when telephone calls were free in hotels?

Anna May Wong's eyes have the bright- ness of rain-washed berries. Fifth avenue used to be “the” ad- dress, but upper East Side cross streets are now swankier.
