DIVINE REQUIREMENTS
Gods requirements are propOrtioned
to our endOWments. If he give five
talents he requires ten. If he give but
one talent he requires but two Thus
God is altogether fair and just. He
does not require the one talent man TO
make the same return as the five talent
man. God s. requirements are propor-
toned to our talents. God is not like
the Egyptians He does not require
bricks without straw But, having
supplied the straw. he does require
bricks-that is. the possession Of tall
ent imposes obligation. Ability justi-
fles accountability The number of our
talents determines the measure of our
responsibility Thus the parable
teaches US that we are not required TO
do what we would like to do but what
we can do. And how important is this

is A fine TRACK
That Just Laid on Rock island
Arsenal Inspected by Ex-
pert Engineer.
UNIQUE SYSTEM EMPLOYED
Old Rails Cut in Pieces and Used for
Stiffening-Makes Low Joints
Impossible.

The new street car track being laid
on Rock Island arsenal was examin-
ed yesterday by an expert civil en-
gineer. who was passing through Rock
Island To an Argus reporter he stat
ed that it was the finest bit of street
railway track work he had seen. The
track in question, over which the
heavy double truck cars of the bridge
line operate, is a girder rail nine inch
es high and weighing 90 pounds to the
yard, or 10 pounds heavier than the
standard rail used by the best steam
railroads of the west Owing To the
fact that the street on which this track
is laid has been previously cOncreted,
il was necessary to adopt some new
design, eliminating wooden ties.
Use Old Rails.
The engineers devised a unique
scheme of cutting up the old rail which
was torn up from the street and using
il in place of the wooden ties. boiling
it TO the base of the rail through deep
nOtches cut in the flange. This steel
cross lies in channel cut in the con
crete surface of the street. The base
Of the rail is lifted about half an inch
dDOSt the cOlECISIe Dtu ol the Sllett
and very soft concrete is flowed be
meath it and to height just enough
below the top of the rail to permit the
laying of the paving blocks.
This makes the entire structure q
mass of steel. solidly embedded in con
crete with no opportunity for varying
or settling.
Used First Time.
unique method of stiffening the
joints has been devised and this IS
probably the first time that it has been
used in track work of any kind \
steel reinforcement in the shape of the
letter - about four feet long is bolt
ed along the underside of the rail COW
ering the joints This. together with
the fish plates which bolt to the
sides of the rail make a joint that is,
if anything sitter than the rail itself.
Such a thing as lew joint on this sec
tion of track would be a physical i'm
possibility.
