For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed
charges, earnings represent pretax income from continuing
operations plus fixed charges (net of capitalized
interest).  Fixed charges represent interest (whether
expensed or capitalized) and one-third (the proportion
deemed representative of the interest factor) of rents of
continuing operations.
