Admiral Helen Gould.

Miss Helen Gould was saluted with
the two ruffles Of an admiral as she
boarded the battleshlp Alabama at the
Brooklyn navy yard. says the New
York World. A "ruffle" Is a roll OF
the drum with the bugles. The presi'
dent Of the United States receives
three ruffles. It was the pretty COM
plIment OF the 700 jackies to the wo'
man who has done so much for them.
Miss Gould had been invited to in.
spect the ship, which Lieutenant'Com'
mander Schumacher told her was the
finest" With her were Miss Edith
Hay, Kingdom Gould. her nephew, and
Chester Harrison her cousin. She
was received on the quarterback and
every one Of the jackies received a
nod of greeting from her as the line
fled past in review. Rear.Admlral
Coghlan led the way in the inspection
OF the battleslhp.
The only thing that went wrong
was the dog, the mascot. The Rev.
John F. Carson In a brief talk mad
vertently spoke of the president as
Teddy" At this the dog set up a
howl The dog was banished from its
place of honor and It was explained
that It meant no harm, but was only
saluting its own name.
Whenever Miss Gould visits an ar ~
post the enlisted men salute her as
II she were az oficer.

Christine hummed softly TO herself
as she mixed the -four and butter to
ple.crust thickness. The soft, sum-
mer breeze came through the win
dow, loosenIng the ripping locks OF
her squirrel.colored hair. Her peach
like cheeks were flushed. and her blue
eyes we're dancing In the telicitatson
Of her meditations.

to make me twenty instead OF SIX

She sighed as she thought OF her
few advantages. and plunged her
hands anew into the soft, white, cling
ing dough.
"And there is such a difference In
our conditions Of life and those Of the
Thornleys," she continued in her rem
inlscence, plcturing the big stone
house on the hill with its sweep OF
lawn, driveways, and its retlnue OF
servants. "Our little home will seem
so crude TO him, though he used TO
stay here more than he did at his
own home, but Of course he was only
q boy then, and wouldn't notice things

cluded. contradicting the thought,
Rob could not change from the frank,

happily. thinking Of the shimmerlng,
white dress she was to wear.

with cooking. She did her baking. or
made her preparations for baking, not
in the heated Kitchen, but in little
room that opened into a lattlced
porch. All convenIences. materials
and utensils were In easy reach.

HIGH SPEED ON RAILWAYS.

on Separate Tracks.
A study OF the net results OF the
German experiments on the Berlin
Zossen railway with trains electrically
propelled at high velocity appears to
have led thoughtful railway men to
the conclusion that any attempts TO
force train acceleration on steam rail-
roads would be destructive OF rolling
stock and permanent way and incl
dentally OF passengers and train crews
As pointed out in the paper OF Dr.
Frederick Schultz before the lnterna'
tional Railway Congress. the best type
OF modern railway equipment can be
operated safely at speeds Of more than
100 miles an hour, provided clear
way can be assured.
This Is exactly the difficulty which
It would not seem possible to over
come In a railroad operated for a
mixed traffic. At a speed of 100 miles
an hour. unless the weather Is quite

with certainty. This means that a
railroad devoted to very high speeds
would need to be divided into long
blocks. and before train entered
upon a block its conductor must know
that the road is clear,
Such blocks would need to be ap
proximately a hundred miles long
which means the surrender Of every
other kind Of traffic which now keeps
out OF the way Of fast trains by TAX
ing sidings or otherwise temporarily
Withdrawing itself from the track
which belongs to the flyer As
matter OF fact this would mean separ
ate tracks for hlgh.speed trains, oveI
or under the other tracks, with abso
lutely no grade crossings and ne
points or switches by which slower
moving trains could have access tC
such tracks. Anything like a coinc!
dent movement of freight and passen
ger traffic would be imposslble,-Nev
