passenger nriles'per anile of line were
able to olierete et a latloaf 63,97

in average train roads of 234 tons.
The Cnnaditt,t Northern System

1920 and handled its freight traf.

density
Ir 1919 the C. P. R„ with a
of 840,94 ton miles per mile of
line had an advantage aver the
Canadian Northern in freight traf-
fic' of nearly 80 per tent, and in
sohihe previous ' year, 'this'"advantage
has even been granter. e
It is: remarkable to note ,that
since June 30,1'913, the end of the
first year for which a system re-
port was prepared, and which was
prior to the opening of .the Trans-
continental main line morn than 2,-
500 miles of line ,have been ab-
sorbed into the system, this new
mileage including the Pacific Coast
extension, and the connection be-
tween the Eastern and Western
sections 'of the system, forming part'
of the transcontinenal line refer-
red to; it represents an increase of
33 1-3 per cent, and yet the density
of freight traffic measured by the
revenue tons carried one mile per
mile of road has increased. from
295,827 tons to 489,516 tons, an
increase of 65.47 per cent, and the
density of passenger traffic, meas-
ured by the number of passengers
carried one mile per Zine of line
has increased from 2S,486 to 400,-
139, an increase of 40.91 per cent.
This volume of traffic if handled at
pre-war train mile costs and at
pre-war freight and passenger rates
would have given the system sub-
stantial net earnings Frohn ' these
sources alone, and with express,
mail and miscellaneous earnings,
the amount would have covered
practically all tine system's fixed
charges.
It is only right to point out to
Canadians the position of Many
large United States railroads that
could not stand comparison with the
C. P. R. --
Co-Ordination
Projected as a privately owned
line the Canadian 'Northern looked
forward to reaching a position of
financial security when it should
obtain traffic of a comparable den-
sity to that of the 'C, P. R. Density
of traffic as a tecnical railway
phrase is a measure of traffic
volume and is obtained by first
obtaining the total number of tons

"It's as simple as A. B. C.
"But it means as much to a
bicycle as the whole alphabet
does to the English language."
"How's that, Ed?"
"Just this way:—
"Tlae crank hanger is
the. pogo r plant
of your ifr.'Tycle,.
"If your crank hanger turns
just a little stiff or hard, that
means mare effort for you.
"If .. the hanger develops
those mean `tight and loose'
spots, it means more friction
and less power. .
"But the `Triplex' was de-
signed and is built to overcome
those faults:
"It is made of such fine: steel
and to such close limits of ac-
curacy that it always runs
smoothly. It makes your bi-
.cycle run so easily you'd think
you were riding down grade:"
"It takes a lot more time and

better workmanship to con-
struct such an accurate han-
ger."
"Well, well! I never thought
a crank hanger was so import-
ant. I see now that
it is really just as im-
portant to have a good
crank hanger on a
bicycle as a good engine
in a car.9fl
"That's right. The `Triplex'
is sure some power plant.
"Were you thinking of buy-
ing a new bike, Charlie?"
"Yes, was thinking 'some-
thing about it, Ed. You know
I bought a cheap one against
your advice last year and I'm
sick of pushing the old cart
along. Besides, it's always
wanting repairs."
"What you need is one of
those new, C. C. M. Bicycles.
They're built to stay out of the
repair shop. I know of many
C. C. M.'s that are giving good
service after ten to fifteen
years riding over all kinds of

Among the. favorable factors that
loom up in connection with tie
aumganation of the Grand Trunk
into the Canadian National System
is the supplying of U. S. railway
connections for the national Sys-
tem in which, as pointed out, the
'C. P. R., has had previously a marked
superiority over the C. N. R. The
Grand Trunk receives a much
greater tonnage from U. S. railways
than the C. P. R,. does. The Grand
Trunk will also supply in a large
measure the proportion of high
class freight that is badly needed
by the National System and on
which a long haul should enable it
to pay some of its interest charges.
It has a fine tonnage in merchan-
dise and manufactured goods. The
Grand Trunk provides in many re-
spects what the National System
previously lacked and only a rea-
sonable time to allow normal
peace -time development is required
to give the National System all the
tonnage repaired to produce earn-
ings sufficent to cover its annual
expenditures.
Any one who does not believe
that Canada cannot produce the
traffic should move to another
country, and anyone who thinks
that Canada cannot produce men to
administer honestly and capably
the great railway properties that
the Dominion government has ac-
quired levels a criticism at the
character of her citizenship that
should be resented. C 'ada is not
trying to create a government-
owned transportation monopoly,
but proposes to protect her invest-
ments and those of the provinces,
in a commonsense way, by the op-
eration of the great railway system
as a corporation would operate it
for business profits, and without
political interference. The problem
in other countries has not been to
get men in politics who are states-
men, and who at the sacrifice of
some temporary political advan-
tage will keep their hands off the
railways. Canada in this respect is
breaking a new trail and if the
present condition s is continued as
to no political interference the
Canadian National Railway System
is one of Canada's most valuable
assets.
Of course it is quite possible for
a railway to take a portion of its
revenue ' and apply it to items 5, 6
and ,, 7, which should really be de-
voted to items 3 and 4, bot such
a policy cannot be maintained for
any duration. As far as the Cana -

CHILDHOOD INDIGESTION
Nothing is more common in child-
hood than indigestion, Nothing is more
dangerous to proper growth, more
weakening to the constitution or more
likely to pave the way to dangerous
disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the
minor ills of childhood have their root
in indigestion. There is no medicine name representatives at Pekin and

Tablets in relieving this trouble. They inaugurate a policy which will have in
Hind the future welfare of the Philip-
pine islands and the latter's relations
to Far East questions, with which they
are inseparably' linked.
In order to best carry out such a
policy, it is believed that President
Harding will Insist on team work on the
part of the American representatives in
China and Japan and the Governor
General of the Philippines, who, it is
hoped will coordinate in their admin-
istrations for the protection of Ameri-
can interests.
