WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1919 Ho 3 rts ------ RAILROAD PLANS WILL BOOM MIDDLE- WEST EXPORTS y Cleveland Plain Dealer Middle west exports are to be given a boom through plans evolved by the railroad administration at Washing- ton. If recommendations of Director Geperal Hines are carried out they will doubtless have an important in- fluence in increasing business be- tween many inland states and South American and European markets for all kinds of manufactnred goods. According to the head of the rail; road administration it is proposed to prepare tariffs which will provid le # class and commodity rates upon ex- port traffic from pe ints in Ohio, In- diana, Illinois at Cc on oth banks of the Mir sippi river from Dubuque, Tox A, [.oui and from points in so ichigan to | .

Wilmington to The e Orleans. established will be substantially the same as those which apply to New York on * domestic freight from the same points of origin and special consideration New xport rates to be will be given shipments destined for! Mexico and Central America, because | A of the low ocean rates ports to those countries. The action is intended to provide a more reasonable equalization of the rate on export traffic to all Atlantic and gulf ports. It has been urged by many manufacturers and business men throughout the midde west and -advocates of increased use of south- ern ports. For this reason jit will doubtless receive wide support. If the change will expediate ex- ports through the elimination of a large part of the congestion which retards progress of shipping from the port of New York, there is no doubt that it will meet a need which has been apparent for a long time. from . gulf ESSEX AVERAGES 23 MILES PER GALLON ON 115-MILE TEST The Essex, which has been creat- ing so much cominent in automobile circles recently, has added another notable achievement to its record by averaging twenty-three miles to the gallon of gasoline in a 115-mile test in San Francisco, according to word received today by Louis J. Sherland. "This performance is all the more notable because of the fact that im- mediately after the economy test, the some car was driven over the steep California street hill in San Fran- cisco, being the only four-cylinder; car which has ever accomplished this feat" Mr. Sherland said. "Both these tests were made with | the car filled with newspapermen who acted as observers. The start up the hill was made at Battery street and the trip ended at the Fairmount hotel. Only two other cars have climbed this hill officially in high gear. One was a Hudson super-six and the other was 'an eight-cylinder machine "At the close of the test the dif ferential was removed to verify the that a stock gear ratio was used. act th In fact, it was not 'only a stock car throughout, but it had just been re- ceived from the factory.

MAY MAKE SILK STOCKINGS FROM AMERICAN TREES The production of artificial silk in the United States has been greatly stimulated during the war period. Formerly considerable quantities of this material, which has been manu- factured in Europe for several years, were imported into the States, but mow the importation of artificial silk is about one-fourth as much as in 1914, while the exporta- tion of this product has in the last value, its sale having invaded even those countries in which the natural silk is produced. This artificial silk is manufactured from trees, the pro- cess being a comparatively simple one. Wood pulp is treated with caustic soda to form a sodium ¢elinlose and then disssived in car- bn disulphide.
