CAR SHORTAGE IS
DUE TO LOADING
Slogan Is to Fill Up to Capa-j
city; Shippers Arc at
Fault It Is Said
"Load all freight cars to capacity,"
is the slogan with Pennsylvania rail
road, and Philadelphia und Heading
railway freight officials. This order
is it believed will further improve
congestion and car shortages, Both
railroad companies are sending out
letters to shippers asking for a hearty j
co-operation in preventing tie-ups and
shortage of cars. One official ex- J
plains the new order us follows: i
"The situation is to a very large ex
tent in the hands of the shippers. By !
buying in full carload lots, wastage of
equipment can be eliminated. A very
large portion of business in canned
foods and other merchandise between
packers, jobbers, wholesale merchants
and many of the larger retail houses
is done on a carload basis. For in
stance, a broker an offer on a
car of tomatoes and passes the order
through In that manner, and the can
ner enters 650 cases, whlteh is just a
little in excess of 36,000 pounds.
Cars Only Partially Pilled
"In many cases the rairoad can only
furnish for such a shipment a car that
can very well be loaded with 60,000
pounds, and, therefore, only three
fifths of the capacity of ther car is
utilized."
Freight men assert that there are
trains passing through the yards every
day in which not more than 25 pet
cent. of the cars are loaded to their
capacity. As a result, there is a large
shipping capacity wasted and the pro
ductive capacity of many factories and
industries Is unutilized.
The situation, it is said, is very vi
tal, not only to the railroad company,
but also to the people at large and it
is one over which the company has
no control, but officials hope that all
shippers will recognize the advantage
to be gained from the proper use of
car space and will keep this in mind
at time of either placing or filling or
der.
READING'S BIG OHDKK
Reading's big equipment order,
made public yesterday, will cost ap
proximately $3,600,000. This order

That's what thousands of stomach

real cause of the ailment—clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arouse

When the liver and bowels arc per*

goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your

you should take Olive Tablets, the sub

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a

olive color. They do the work without

of the larger holes have been lllled
with stone, this affords only slight re
lief, and is far from satisfactory.
"Work on surfacing Swatara street
between Eighteenth and Twentieth
streets is held up because the con
tracting company cannot get sand.
Other street improvements which are
underway cannot be completed, either,
until we get a supply," Commissioner
Lynch explained.
"The asphalt plant Is ready to start

here, but wo cannot go on until the
orders for sand are Hlled. They have
been standing for some time and
should be filled in a few days. I think
the extreme" cold during the winter,
freezing over of the river and closing
down the quarries is partly respon

Practically all the larger streets in
the city will need extensive resurfacing
in a number of places. Because of the
bad condition of some of the down

Roosevelt Calls President;
Wants to Lead Division
Washington, D. C., April 4.—Colonel
Roosevelt stopped oft here on his
way home from Florida to call on
President Wilson at the White Houso
and congratulate him on his address
to Congress.
Colonel Roosevelt went to the main
door of the Executive Mansion, where
ho learned that the President had gone
over to his offices. He told the chief
usher he was only in town between
trains and wished to congratulate the
President on "his great state paper."
The Colonel left his card and departed
without seeing the President.
Colonel Roosevelt, standing in tho
midst of a great crowd in the. railroad
1 station hero dictated tho following
statement:
"The President's message is a great
State paper which will rank in his
tory among tho great State papers of
which Americans in future years will
be proud. It now rests "with tho peo
ple of the country to see that wo put
in practice tire policy the President
has outlined and that we strike as
hard, as soon, and as effectively as
possible in aggressive war against the
government of Germany. We must
send troops to the tiring line as rapid
ly as possible. Defensive war ie hope
less. We must by vigorous offensive
warfare win the right to have our
voice for civilization and justice when
the time for peace comes.
"I, of course, very earnestly hope
that I may be allowed to raise a divi
sion for immediate service at the
front.. I guarantee that no finer body
of lighting men could be gathered to
gether than there would bo in that
division, but, of course, the men to
whom I would appeal will come for
ward only if it is understood that the
division is to be sent at the earliest
practicable moment into the fighting
line."
