The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared Of the per.
Torrance Of frcght trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
west.bound traffic between Baltimore and
Cumberland. Before the new freight en-
gines were purchased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way of straighten-
ing curves and reducing grades, the average
number of cars 10 the tram was - IL. Now,
with more powerful and modern motive
power aud better track, the average is 40
cars per train, an increase of Al per cent.
The average east. bound movement per day
for the first ten DAYS OF August was Lib
loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum
berland TO Grafton, where there are grades
Of lbs feet 10 the mile, the engines used 10
haul 10 ID loads 10 the train. Now the
average is 25 % loads per train, an increase
Of 81 per cent. IL would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements on
the B. and o. is being amply justified, and
that the cost Of operation is being very ma
terially reduced.

A NEW Mlle MARK.
STIR Pointer Makes n Mile Under Two
Minutes nt HeadvIlIe, Mnss.


Boston, Aug. 30.-Star Pointer, the
wonderful pacing stallion, owned by
James a. Murphy, Of Chicago. on SAT-
urday wiped out forever the two-min-
ute mark and ended the controversy
which has been going on for years as
70 the speed qualities Of the light har-
ness horse. Accompanied by runner,
the big bay Tennessee-bred pacing stall
lion went the distance in 1907. twas
the most wonderful performance ever
made by a light harness horse and was
witnessed by about 5000 people. twas
the more wonderful because on Friday
Joe Patchen, with the great Geers be-
hind him, had made n shot az the mark
set by Robert j. and John II. Gentry
and had failed TO reach it by second
and half. Because Of this it was not
thought possible his greatest rival in
the race line would get down below the
two-minute mark.
The great event occurred on the track
at Readyille. The track was in excel
lent condition, and Star Pointer made
the record with hardlyun effort. When
he started IL was not thought he woul1
do better than 2;02. When he passed
the quarter post in 30 seconds fiat, how
ever, there was intense excitement. The
half mile was turned in :5oA and the
third quarter in 1929. On the stretch
the horse seemed to fairly fly, and
crossed the tape in the wonderful time
OF l:5oh Star Pointer was driven by
McClary.

DO we Need Big MuscIesr

BY no means. Persons of hereulean build
frequently possess n minimum OF genuine
vigor, and exhibit less endurance than very
small people. Real vigor means the ability
10 digest and sleep well, and 10 perform a
reasonable amount OF daily physical and
mental labor without unnatural fatigue. IL
is because a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters enables the enfecbled dyspeptic to
resume the allotted activity of every day life,
as we'll as 20 participate without discomfort
in it's enjoyments, that IL is such a pre-
eminently useful medicine.
