TRAFFIC SITUATION IMPROVED.
E~astbOund Lines Have broken III
Several

Last week the traffic situation on the
eastbound roads improved considerably. \
large amount of freight. which was
blockading the tracks was moved ami
large deliveries from the Western roads
were accepted.
1t was expected that the worst part of
the congestion would be over this week.
but 1t is probable the blizzard will cause
another tie-up.
The chief cause of the congestion was
due, 1t is claimed. to an unusually large
amount of freight or a great shortage of
cars. but was chiefly caused by lack of
motive power. Engines which should have
gone to the shops for repairs have been
continued at work until they broke down.

Some songs outlive Others, the
same applies to fiction. What
Stephen c. Foster did for song
when he wrote "My Old Kentucky
Home" and the "Old Folks a,
Home" BARLEY Campbell did for
the American drama in "The
White Slave"
OF song and play the American
people never tire, for both smack
OF the soil and are written around
negro slavery with all its lights
and shadows; both are human.
they touch the heart and are easily
comprehended by all humanity.
II is the one touch OF nature that
gives them life and keeps them
ever green. Fosters melodies are
incorporated into "rhe White
Slave" and they seem to have
taken root. They are in keeping
with the environments OF the play.
AS a page in American history,
picturesque and inspiring The

generation just as strongly as, it
did to the old.
