During the pa.-t weti-: Koger W. Babson has been in New York in con Kultnlion with important railway interests- Me has returned believing that a freight car shortage is inevit able; this fall, and everything possible should be done to prevent it. Concern ing thy same, Mi Hanson states a-' follows: "Thcie are various events which in dicate a venous congestion , of freight this fall. First, theie is a real short age of equipment in good condition. Throughout the war the equipment of most railroads was allowed to run down? Little was done to repair equip ment until this year. Daring the pn.it few months railroads have been en deavoring to do iive years repair j worK in one- As a result a great, many iieigiu cars are either in the process of being repaired or are wait-1 ing to be repaired. In either case theyj are out of service. It is true that i many of these ears will be hack in ser-l vice by winter but they will not be I available by fall. This means thati ttlowi urn 1',. i.-o.. mvi;,I,I l,i.,l' to haul freight than are usually avail able. "Usually the V.plroads haul then coal during the spring and summer. The winter supply is usually deliver ed by the railroads during the suni- njer months. Thus far this year very! little coal has been -hauled. Only im mediate needs have "Hp en taken care of. let only two more months re main before people will b starting their furnace fires. On th:; assump tion that the miners will soon be back to work this means that the rail roads will be dclug'.d with coal dur-j ing the remainder of the year. Every ( available ear capable of hauling coal; will be pressed into service and the J cwal tonnage should be very, yery h?vy. . I " "The outlook today is for good: crojxi this Jail- .At prevailing prices . th farm will aut to -,eil their; grvuiHi and mow it til once. J ois raven that the railway will be caH ed upon t'o move a treiuendiuH amount . of ftrain while th'ry nrattr-mjJ'.ini; to move the coal. There are factors which lead one to believe that manu facturing as a whole will be more ae tire this fall than it has been aL any timr this year. Fundamental statis tics indicate that the bw pcint in business will be reached this summer. Thus the -railroads will, bo taxed bV hauling raw maittlais in fcerieial and manufactured products of t.il son--" Mr. 1' abson was then as'it 1 what ffect such a congestion woti 'l have upon commodity prices ami -lecL'.ntiafc. To this he replied as follows. "Freight t a-r eongestien inei. itably leads to higher prices. 'ln:s is ord;. natural as prices are detei mired, not by costs, but by supply and' dfiiiancl. if a city uses M) carloads of pota toes a day, any day that there is a! shortage of jinly two or three cus, the price of potatoes in, that city goej un. Another day when there i i a surplus of only wo cars, the p-iie ol all potatoes goes down, l'tk'e i not determined by the tolal nuamity o; a product product d cf corsumeJ, but rather by that small perc'-"V.; o! surplus or shortage. A i ( .jrl't lor. gestion this fall would iiH'viuhlv icad to a shortage in certain raw n. ttjr'a s and merchandise in some localities.

Mars, neatest neighbor of this world with the exception of Venus, is closer ti the earth now than at any, time "in IS years. Observations have been in progress for the past five mouths each hour of every night that weather con ditions would permit- Hundreds of photographs and charts haJe been made. - i The seasons on Mars have the same sigmticanee as on our earth and occur in the samt, manner, but about tvticL the length of our own, according to Doctors K. C. and V. M. Sliphej-, ot the observatoiy staff. A statement by them on the results of the latvat ob servations here follows: "Winter has been occurring in thS southern hemisphere of th pianei Mars and the extensive dark area there are now faint and have Un so for some time betokening the (Vil season of vegetation in conformity with the view held by Lowell reward ing the seasonal changes ona ttte plKtnS6 "The large winter cap ol whit atowjc the south pole of Mars, whiriY for some months has appeared to torwitt of only mist or cloud eo wring Uv south polar regions of the piamt down to latitude forty degrees, is now dis sipating and disclosing a mantle of I snow beneath. Tqtr spiing st-aon for the southern hemisphere is now ap proaching, thp season there at pres ent corresjionding to our March 21, and these changes are characteristic ol late winter over the south of Mars.i "In the northern hemisphere autumn, is arriving and the polar cap there has-j ah eady become conspicuous, having; increased rapidly during the last few Martian nights- On the night ot June 17 it was observed that whe.i the plan et's longitude 2(5 came' into Martian' sunrise, and therefore visible to us, that a vast area thee had during the preceding night been covered with a bright canopy. This bright hood fac ed off toward the equator but was dis cernible down nearly fifty degrees north iatitudd and veiled the darker markings of the northern pait of tlvi piant. This event marked thp first riuliv big auumn storm in the north ern hemisphere of Mars n'i far this year. On that date the Martian sea son corresponded to our September V Forty indications of autumn made their appearance a month and a half ago at a Martian -season correspond ing to our late August- These obser vations have been recorded on phono '1 '1 i H,l '!
