MOVED GRAWEYRRG0 IN VV0RT-D7 y

, Of Rufus Hill, Master Mechanic of the
plant, a large number of disabled loco
motives have been run into the silent
graveyard. having been condemned as
useless.
Once they are given a position in the
graveyard by Yard Foreman H. c..
Scharze, the locomotives are thereafter
subject to be overhauled by skilled me-
chanics. who carefully examine them, Sc
1ecting the important parts that can
again be utilized In the building or re-
pairing Of some other locomotive intended
for service by the company.
]. After q thorough examination has been
made of each locomotive, its condition
Is carefully recorded in the company s
books, and is designated good, or
scrap. If marked good the iron
horse will later on be dissected for the
\ 5perfect parts it still possesses, which
can be used in repairing some locomotive
which has not yet seen the end of its
active days. If scrap is marked oppo-

many months elapse, find their way to
the scrap heaps In the yard. They must
make way for the expected new
"corpses' which, in the course of events,
make their final run into the peculiar
graveyard. !.
Yard Foreman Scharze takes quite an
interest in the used-up locomotives under
his charge,--and In q walk recently
through the graveyard with some
friends. pointed out some interesting
facts
He stated that the life of locomotive
varies, stretching over number of
years. during which time it makes many
i, runs. visits many towns and acknowl-
edges many masters, before it is run
into the graveyard. Some Of these iron
monsters have had thrilling adventures.
romantic experiences, and frequently
caused tragic deaths.
One of the recent dead locomotives
to reach the graveyard, . minus al
smokestack, had seen active service dur
ing the early years of the West Jersey
Railroad. 1t was in its youth quite a
favorite on that Aline, having made a
record Of ninety minutes from Camden
to Atlantic City.
When the great sixty-minute flyer en-
tered the race, the old '.90'' minute en-
gine fell back with a sigh and was brok-
en-hearted when pushed to one side.

known young society woman Of the Em-

conceived the idea of making an immense
American flag out Of uncancelled postaga
stamps received from prominent men and
women Of the United States. intending
later on to donate the unique emblem to
the National Historical Museum in WASH
ington. People in all walks OF life have
contributed two and fiye-cent postage
stamps to this patriotic object.
Every subscribers name and address,
will be recorded In beautiful mammoth 4
autograph album and presented with the
flag at the same time to the National
Museum for future reference This flag
Is gotten up to illustrate to the public at
large what beautiful emblem and work
of art Of the country can be devised from
the postage stamps OF the present era,
and when completed will be the most
beautiful and costly flag in the world.
It will cost when finished nearly 5000.
