Cse McNeil's Pain Exterrfilnator.—ad WEDNESDAY EVENING, ALL NEWS OF T TELL SHIPPERS OF FREIGHT AIDSi Simple Rules to Observe Sug gested by Public Safety Committee To relieve the strain on freight transportation facilities which Is reaching its peak with the combina tion of military demands and the movements of fall crops, the Penn sylvania committee of public safety is urging shippers nnd receivers of freight to give careful consideration to a set of simple rules prepared by the American Railway Association committee on national defense. Observance of those rules will con tribute to greatly increased efficiency of railroad freight service, it is said. To receivers of freight the following suggestions are recommended: Recommendations Purchase in the nearest market. Be prepared to store the full con tents of the largest freight car. Bunch your orders so as to make full carload lots.- If you can't order by ca'rload, ar range to pool carload shipments. Fnload cars promptly. Freight shippers may help by adopting these methods. Load all heavy commodities up to 10 per cent, in excess of the marked carrying capacity of each car, unless special instructions have been issued by the railroads with reference to certain classes of equipment to ex cefyl the 10 per cent, in which case special instructions will apply. Load light weight or bulky freight to full capacity of each car. Have your shipment in car so as to permit prompt unloading at desti nation. Pee that packages are so loaded as to eliminate damage in transit. Where you have been shipping less than carload freight daily and send ing via transfer point, hold up your shipment two or three days to make full carloads and bill to destination. Vse Drays or Motor Trucks Use drays or motor trucks instead of "trapcar service" and avoid the use of freight cars for moving food from one point to another within the same city. lK>ad in a single day and time loading to suit schedule of departing trains. Furnish billing agent full instruc tions permitting way-Wll being made up before loading is completed. Consign shipment to final destina tion wherever possible swid discour age shipments that require changing destination in transit. Do not bill shipments by circuitous route in order to avoid the effect of embargoes. The use of all substitute trahsit fa cilities is advised to lessen the load on the railway freight service. Local I committees of railroad officials have been appointed in eighty cities throughout the country to promote freight transit efficiency. R. L.
