STEELTON AND NEARBY THINK FOOD IS TO BE CONFISCATED Misunderstanding Makes thej Work of Taking Canvass Difficult I The ward committees in charge ot! making the canvass of housekeepers under direction of Mrs. W. F. Darby in the food preservation campaign of the government have not had as smooth sailing, or been as successful so far, as was the canvass for Red Cross members. The principal reason assigned Iter this apparent failure has been a misunderstanding on the part •of borough housekeepers, many of whom, it Is said, have been under the impression that the canvassers were going to find out how much food of all kinds were stored In the various homes, and that after the canvass would be completed, a large part of this home-stock would be appropriated for the use of the gov ernment. In this respect. It Is alleged, the true idea of the purposes of making this canvass had not been made known to the borough housekeepers prior to the beginning of the can vass, and this fact has caused the various ward committees consider able trouble in the way of making explanations. Notwithstanding the handicaps of the local workers, fully 200 signa tures have been secured since the work started and this number is ex pected to be considerably augmented.

RAILROAD ONE CHECK ONLY NOW NECESSARY New System on Pennsy Saves Travelers Time and Trouble I Travelers on the Pennsylvania lines are now able to have baggage check ed through to destination. The new system which has been in effect for a month Is proving quite popular and will continue until further orders. It means also a saving of time and trouble for travelers. Heretofore the custom has been to first get a transfer check when the baggage is taken from the home. Then exchange this check at the sta tion for a railroad check to the point of destination, and on arrival have the baggage recheeked to the hotel or residence desired. One Check Only All this is now eliminated and the corps of baggagemen at tfio Penn sylvania Railroud station under Ed ward Koenig, are ready to save much time for travelers. One check is now all that is necessary. Simply tell the destination, and hotel or residence, and on arrival at the point of desti nation, the bagKage will be there. Looking after the baggage in i plenty of time will be a big help in getting it promptly at the end of a trip, Baggage checked a few min utes before train time will be delayed. Requirements to give full value of contents and answer other questions take time and travelers will find It a convenience to do the checking early.

EFFICIENCY AID IN CAR SHORTAGE Statistics Show Big Improve ment in Freight Traffic; War Board Factor "The statistics now available dem* j onstrate that the reduction of the net car shortage from 148,627 cars 1 on May 1 to 105,127 on June 1, or about 30 per cent., was duo to In creased efficiency in railway opera tion," says the Hallway Age Gazette, "While statistics regarding the volume of traffic handled in May are not yet available in complete form" | the Railway Age Gazette adds, "an Indication of the increase in the amount of business for wliieh the railroads were called upon to furnish, cars in that month is afforded by the freight earnings of the roads that have already reported their month ly earnings to the Interstate Com ; merce Commission. "One hundred and forty-eight : roads in all parts of the country | have filed their May earnings with the Commission, and these roads , showed an increase in freight reve ! nues of 10.14 per cent. in May a£ ; compared with April. War Board Factor • "This increase in freight revenue! indicates a corresponding increase j in the total amount of freight car , ried, and is the best possible evi dence of the results being gained j from the work of the Railroads' War Hoard and its subcommittee, the Commission on Car Service. "The new car service regulation, under which boxcars are virtually pooled, were put into effect by order of the Railroads' War Board on April 26, and since thut time the Commis sion on Car Service has ordered those railroads on which cars have accumulated in congested territories to turn over to roads on which there has been a shortage, cars to the number of over 56,000, which have been sent largely in trainload lots to ihe points where they have been most needed. "Figures from fifty-one per cent, of the mielage of the railroads in the United States show that they carried over three billion more tons of freight one mile in April, 1917, than they did in April, 1916, an in crease of 16 per cent., and that this was done with an increase of but 4.3 per cent, in locomotive miles and with but five per cent, more freight car miles. The average trainload was increased 66 tons-—a remark able achievement—and the average carload was increased 2.4 tons.
