If they organize a warfare on radio, the stage and the movies will hurt mainly the stage and the movies. Radio may be a poor orphan now, but it will grow strong and healthy. The fortunate ones will be those who adopt radio, while adopting is good. The phonograph is do- ing that already. Another thought is worth considering. Printers once smashed linotype machines because one linotype did the work of sev- eral men. Now more men work linotypes than ever worked at printers’ cases, and they make more at it. The machines made possible readers of millions who read but little before. Millions of those who listen to the radio each night seldom go to mov- ies, never go to legitimate theaters. May- be the radio will develop their taste for music and drama. Crowds and Death NTERESTING facts are contained in the New York Department of Health bulletin. Among them is the conclusion that density of population itself appears to have no effect on the city’s death rate, the true index being found in the in- crease in number of persons occupying one room. Infant death rate, says the bulletin, is twice as great when five persons live in one room as when two occupy a similar room. Overcrowding is one of the biggest problems our health institutions have to contend with. Daugherty Backfires NE H. M. Daugherty, of Washington Courthouse, Ohio, was called to the stand in a New York court the other day to testify as to the reputation of the defendant, whom he knew. After testifying, he threw in, for full measure, this observation: “Taking a little liberty, if the court please, I could not testify to the reputa- tion for integrity and honesty of any man, especially if he held public office, because the higher and more efficient he is, the more subject he is to attack, and I could not testify that I would have any- thing like a good reputation when I get home the day after tomorow—until I read Mate newspapers in the morning, at any tate.” Whereupon the judge held that a court was not the place to take the lid off the capitol, much as Mr. Daugherty might A lot of money, but it reaped a harvest, for the average per capita consumption of coffee was increased 80 cups a year at an advertising cost of than 1 per capita A famous soup canner's advertising expense runs to enormous figures. But before he started to advertise his sales cost was 20 per cent, Today it is 5 per cent. A cent’s worth of advertising sells him six cans of soup. Advertising pays both buyer and seller —the buyer in smaller costs, the seller in increased production. less cent What the Figures Show O GOOD is served by allowing to go unchallenged all the misrepresenta- tions current regarding the government operation of the railroads. Director General James C. Davis made a final report to the president the other day. From his figures the assertion has been broadcast that government operation of the railroads cost the people $1,674,- 500,000. Leaving out of consideration the fact that the government was compelled to take over the railroads to carry on the war and leaving out also the millions saved in freight rates, compared to present rates, let us consider that figure of $1,674,- 500,000. Director General Davis says it is com- posed of two parts. For the 26 months of government operation there was spent $1,123,500,000 more than was received in freight, passenger and other income. For the six months following government oper- | ation, the period in which the government continued the guarantee of railroad earn- ings, altho operation was in the hands of the railroad owners, the cost to the gov- ernment was $536,000,000. Putting those two sums together you obtain the $1,674,- 500,000 figure which has been blazed across the country to show how expensive government operation proved. Twenty-six months of government oper- ation, by Director General Davis’ report, cost the people $43,000,000 per month. Six months of private operation, by that same report, cost the people $89,000,000 per month. A $43,000,000 monthly deficit under government operation. An $89,000,000 monthly deficit under private operation. It is to be hoped the people will see the true Significance in Director General Davis’ ‘report. Immediately following the return of the railroads to ‘their owners vast claims for damages were filed against the government. The aggregate was $768,- 003,274. These claims were exploited for all they were worth. They really were worth very little, it now appears from Director General Davis’ report. This shows that the government has settled all of these claims —and settled them out of court! — for a total of $48,574,901. The railroads asked for more than three-quar- ters of a billion dollars. Examination of their claims showed they had less than 50 millions coming to them.
