The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of 1925 900 for the
installation of the most modern and et-
fcient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, a distance Of IS
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 80 miles, the signals will be put
two.thirds of mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. It will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has,
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part Of the Erie
System. Hitherto manual block, which
is tower. with signals operated by
towerman, has been used as a block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to-
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment Of trains. The new system will be-
extended over the entire line in the future

Mrs. JEFFERSON was not more
wi than IS years of age, and she had
spent II years Of married life in India.
She had seen three of her children
buried in an unhealthy station, and
had been to England once, seven years
before, to take two little girls home to
be educated. 1t was on her return voy-
age from visiting her children that
met her.
She was so much less aggressive
than most Of the women on board, and
demanded so much less attention, that

THE DREAMS AHEAD.

What would we do in this world Of ours.
Were 1t not for the dreams ahead?
For thorns are mixed with the blooming
flowers.
No matter which path we tread.
And each Of as has his golden goal,
Stretching far into the years;
And ever he climbs with hopeful soul.
With alternate smiles and tears.
That dream ahead is what holds him up
Through the storms Of a ceaseess fight;
When his lips are pressed to the worm
woods cup,
And clouds shut out the light.
To some lisa dream Of high estate.
To some it's a dream Of wealth;
To some it's a dream of truce with Fate
In constant search for health.
TO some It's a dream of home and wife;
To some it's a crown above;
The dreams ahead are what make each

THIS RECTOR PLAYS POOL
Minister Is Said to Be an Expert at
Cards and Keeps Late
Hours
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Women of the
fashionable st. Johns Episcopal church
of Irving park objected to the rector,
the Rev. Henry Charles Stone, because
he insisted on retaining his member
ship in the Country club, of which he
is the champion pool player. In addi-
ton to devoting much time to pool it is
said that Mr.. Stone also cultivated the
card tables of the club very assidu-
ously.
But worst of all in the eyes of the
women of the parish was the fact that
Mr.. Stone was such a companionable
fellow that members of the club kept
later hours than the strict canons of
Irving Park permit.
Mr.. Stone recently returned from an
extended tour of the east and a visit
to Bishop Potter of New York. His
resignation was handed in and met
with the approval of Bishop Charles P.
Anderson.
Mr.. Stone says he is innocent of the
violation of any moral code and that
his life has been as exemplary to say
the least, as that of his two colleagues
in religious work at Irving Park, the
Rev. Mr.. Hoskins, pastor Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and the Rev. A.
l. Baker, pastor of the Reformed
Lutheran church, both men being men,
bers of the same organization, the
Country club.
