While American railroads have, in the past ten years, made many notable improvements in their service and have vastly increased the efficiency of their operation, few of their accomplishments out rank their success in reducing loss and damage claims. Claims of this sort result from the loss of and damage to com modities entrusted by shippers to the railroads for transportation. Unfortunately, a very large part of the commodities the railroads haul is subject to some damage, unless handled in exactly the right way. And in the days before railroad ef ficiency reached its present high mark payment of loss and dam age claims not only took an un duly large part of rail revenue, but these claims were frequently the cause of much dissatisfaction on the part of shippers. In recent years, however, the railroads have devoted the same systematic, careful attention to preventing loss and damage claims that they have given to increasing their efficiency along other lines. Claim prevention organizations have been established and careful studies made to determine how and under what conditions damage to commodities occur and how it can be avoided. The facts brought out by these studies have been used as a basis to improve methods of handling that will prevent damage. For example, elaborate studies with specially devised apparatus detennined that a considerable part of the damage that occurs takes place during the switching at terminals and yards. This led to the organization among the yard forces of “Rough Handling Committees,” whose job is to see that no rough handling takes place. The speed at which cars are “kicked,” proper signals between switchmen and engineers and a score of pcher highly technical and extremely practical points are in volved. The claim prevention work has brought highly gratifying results. In 1920 the Atlc.ntic Coast Line received 112,104 loss and damage claims but in 1929 it received only 22,843. This was a reduction of 79.8 per cent in the number of claims filed. During 1920 pay ments of loss and damage claims cost the Atlantic Coast Line $5.25 out of every $100 of freight rev enue. In 1929 similar payments took $1.09 out of each $100 of freight revenue. While this figure is still far too high and Atlantic Coast Line forces are increasing their efforts to reduce it still fur ther, it indicates the progress made. Of equal importance from the shippers standpoint, is the im provement made in handling claims that are filed. On January 1, 1920, the Atlantic Coast Line had 6,887 unadjusted claims on hand. On January 1, 1930, there were on ly 396 claims of this sort, a de crease of 94 1-4 per cent. Formerly claimants were expect ed to be well satisfied if claims were paid within 30 days of the time they were filed. The Atlantic Coast Line has reduced the average time required for the adjustment of claims to less than 10 days and. as a result, complaints of delayed settlement are so unusual as to be decided curiosities. The fact that it handles large quantities of fresh fruits and veg etables which are peculiarly sus ceptible to damage and deteriora tion. causes the Atlantic Coast Line to receive proportionately more claims than roads that do 'not have a large perishable traffic. Constant studies are under way, however, to determine methods by which these losses can be reduced, j While it may never be possible to do away entirely with loss and damage claims the Claim Preven tion Committees of the Atlantic : Coast Line never stop trying to at tain this goal. A Great Discovery When Pasteur discovered, in 1352, that, the infection of wounds was caused by malignant bacteria, he per formed a service of in estimable value to mankind. Since then medical science has been producing better and better antiseptics, to kill these germs that may enter the smallest cut and give us diseases such as tynhoid, tuberculosis and lockjaw. Now, ail you have to do to be sure that these dreadful germs will not infect a wound, is t> wash that wound, however small, thoroughly with dbiquid Bproaone, the modern antisep tic.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC How to Avoid Failure. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- The sad failure of Saul should be a warning to every young man. Few men in history had greater advantages. I. Saul’s Advantages. 1. a worthy inheritance (9:1). His father was *‘a mighty man of power.” One’s inheritance is a strong factor in determining his success or failure in life. 2. His natural gifts (9:2). He was a ‘‘choice young man ” (1) He was humble (10:22). When facing the responsibility of national leadership, he hid himself. (2) He was considerate of his Jather (9;5). Not being successful in the mission committed unto him by his father and thinking that his father would be con cerned about him, he proposed to go hack. (:*») The grace of God was upon him (10:5-7). God visited him with his grace to enable him to see the divine choice. (41 The Holy Spirit came upon him (10:10). Acceptable service can be rendered only In the energy of the Holy Spirit (5) He was zealous for God (1! :4-15). As the leader of his people, he per formed service because of his zeal for God. ” The friendship of Samuel (15:35). So strong was Samuel’s attachment for Saul that he greatly mourned his death. II. Saul Made King (1 Sam. S-10). 1. r rhe demand of the people (S:l-22). The reason for this demand was McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick — Preaching service Saturday night before 3rd Sunday at 8 o’clock; third Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock and third Sunday night at 8 o’clock.

(2) Hi* sons were unfaithful (v.5). Samuel, though a good man. greatly blundered In the appointment of his sons as judges of l^rncl (:») Desire tr# he t ike of her na rlons (v. 5) Tim surrounding nations had strong leaders as rulers. Therefore. It was hut natural that the Israelites should desire such leadership Samuel pro tested against their action and took the matter to the Lord in prayer. The Lord directed him to poinl out to the people the meaning of their action. 2. Saul chosen to be king (0:1-11). While Saul was on an errand for his father Samuel found him and anointed him. (I Sam. 10:1-10). In due time the divine choice was con firmed by the people at Mizpeh. 5. Saul displays leadership (1 Sam. 11). He displayed his military genius in effecting a great victory at Jabez over the Ammonites. III. Saul’s Failure (oh. 15). 1. The command to Saul (vv. 1-8). He was commanded utterly to de stroy the Amalekites. The reason as signed was their evil treatment of Israel after they came out of F.gypt (Kx. 17:8: Dent. 25:17). 2. Saul's disobendienoe (vv 4 9). The command was only partially carried out. Agag. the king, was spared and the best of the goods ap preprinted. 8. Saul rejected by God (vv. 10-25) (\) Samuel cried to God (v. 11). The news of this disgraceful affair greatly disturbed Samuel, moving him to pray to God day and night. (2) Saul’s hypocritical pretense (vv. 15. 10). This pretense carried a lie upon its face. (2) Samuel rehearses before Saul God’s dealing with him (vv. 17-23). God is more concerned with having Ids commands obeyed than he is to have sacrifices offered uolo him. IV. The Divine Judgment Fall* (15:26-35). 1. The loss of his kin$$m. For the presumptuous offering of sacrilice the dynasty passed from Saul’s house. 2. Under control of the evil spirit (19:9-11). When allegiance to God is refused Satan takes control. 3. His shameful death (31 :l-4). Samuel forsook him, leaving him alone to suffer In disgrace.
