Then the Art Institute is called up by. the victimâ€" and the wretuin of his money is demanded. The Art Instiâ€" tute has never been,; and is not now, engaged in the business of furnishing enlarged portraits from photographs. . A victim of one of these concerns submits a card bearing the following announcement: "The Chicago Art Inâ€" stitute, ~Chicago, Illinois, ~Pastel miniature (value $35.00). Art‘s most recent ~discovery© in portraitureâ€"a beautiful lifeâ€"like reproduction. To introduce this new Pastel miniature we will place a limited number in your ‘negihborhood. <Oval panel, 14x 19, in size, unframed, at the cost :zf material $3.98 each,. ~The proof your portrait will be shownâ€"at your ‘residence, when cost of material must be paid.

Pape s s e It will be noticed from the above that there is no address given, hence ‘the victim is unable.to locate fraudu»â€" lent organization. © The. gommng authorities have been notified an they have been on the lookout to catch these criminals in the fraudulent use of the mails. â€" The proper title of the Art Institute is "The Art Institute of Chicago," not the "Chicago Art Inâ€" ‘stitute." The names are so nearly alike, however, that the average perâ€" son is easily deceived. . t ‘PEAK LOAD PROBLEM This illustrates one of the most difficult problems that the street railâ€" way companies have to face and one that is strangely incomprehensive to the average business man. If there were a steady flow of car riders the transportation problem would not be \ difficult. But, as a®matter of fact,: electric street railways can make full use of their facilities less than 50 per cent of the time. In‘ spite of the overâ€" ‘crowding which takes place during ‘rpsh‘honrs, the full capacity can be, wtilized less than four hours during the day, and at the same time when cars are crowded ‘carrying workers !to and from their places of business, |there must be a stream of, cars of |equal capacity, moving in . the oppoâ€" ‘gite direction to maintain return servâ€" jice.: During the other 20 hours of ‘the day, cars are ‘operated with too few passengers to meet the most of pperation to say nothing of paying fixed charges or return on investment. "This readinessâ€"toâ€"serve is the thorn $n‘ the side not only of the street railâ€" ways but of all public utilities, . ; ~OF STREET RAILWAYS Biggest Crowds Carried Early ‘ _ _ In Morning and About â€" â€" 5 to 6:30 P. M. + Studies recently made by the Amerâ€" ican Electric Railway association show that the number. of passengers carried by électric,street railways beâ€" tween 7 and 8:30 a. m. and 5 and 6:15 p. m. is from two to four times as manv as«s durinv the other hours of p. m. is from two to four times many as during the other hours the day‘! Pss THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS iThe annual report of Secretary of Agriculture Jdrdine: contains recomâ€" mendations which; if ‘carried out, would résult in a change of agriculâ€" ‘tural freight rates, a revision of farm | taxes, encouragement by the governâ€" ment of coâ€"operative farm organizaâ€" tions, and a utilization of public lands \for agricultural purposes. The reâ€" \ port deals with many questions at \tength. _ It states that the gross inâ€" | comes from grains amounted m ‘Jlast year to one billion nine h 1 million dollars, which is five hundred million ~‘dollars more than the crop year ‘of 1923â€"24. . Meat animals apâ€" proximated two billion. six. hundred million dollars, which is an increase of four hundréed million over the year previous.. Farm production last year tanreased in dollars and cents seven per cent over a previous period, nameâ€" :‘ ly, from eleven billion three: handred ,1 million dollars to twelve billion one \ hundred million. dollars, . According | to: the report farméers are receiving " better prices for their products than {at any time in the last five years. Another result. of the survey was to show that the bate cost of service waries from 28 cents per passenger when only two passengers are carried lone mile to four cents when the numâ€" ber is increased to 14 per mile, and that if each route in a typical city, where the fare is now six cents, were to be selfâ€"supporting, some would have a fare of 14 cents and some less than four cents. & pe m JARDINE‘S REPORT _ es f ON RATE REVISION it cmas EVERY U. 8.
