June earnings materially swelled
the company's income and the July
statement is expected to display an
even greater increase, due to the i'm
mense proportions of the summer
traffic IN the suburbs. The service
has been greatly improved, Roadway
reduced and equipment increased in
an effort to keep pace with the re-
qu1rements of the business, and the
completion of the Milwaukee extern
sion and connection with the North
western 81" over the electrified
evanston division ofethe ST. Paul
road will give through routing be.
tween Chicago and Milwaukee of in
estimable benefit from a pecuniary
viewpoint. .s1
The acquisition of terminal facili-
ties in Milwaukee will be of mate
rial value to the company. The new
terminals will be. completed next
month and the first through trains
will be placed in operation on Dec. /.
It is believed that this will simply be
a forerunner to establishing connec-
tons with northern and central Wis
cons1n interurban systems, a plan
which has been under consideration
for several years.
1t is admitted that the great in
crease in the earnings of the com.
pany is largely due to the business
that is being done between Racine,
kenosha and Evanston. The through
business from those three cities is
much larger than the promoters of
the road had anticipated. Another
thing that has added materially to
the big receipts of the company dur
ing the last two months of this year
was the opening of what promises to be
a successful season at Ravinia Park.
Large crowds are going to Ravinia
daily from Kenosha and Racine,
while the business from the other
cities has not been reduced.
The managers of the company now
declare that the line to Milwaukee
will be opened for traffic not later
than the first OF December and when
this line is opened it is expected that
the receipts of the company will show
a much greater increase than during
the past six months.

REPARTEE OF THE JUVENILES
Washington Children in Smart Ex-
change of Compliments.

Evidently there was a severance of
friendly relations between two Of a
group of small girls who a minute be-
fore had been romping about the
sward in Dupont Circle, for just as
the writer approached the daughter
of a southern legislator called out to
her small companion from the west:
''The girl with the red dress on is
a cowgirl! The girl with the red
dress on is a cowgirl" Again and
again the haunting challenge was
hurled at the red-frocked western
maid, who finally, with one supreme
effort at self-control, retorted: ooh,
very well, then, the girl who is
a-hollerin' is a sheep I'd sooner be
cowgirl than a sheep, cause the
president is fond of cowboys and
cowgirls, but not even a secretary
likes a sheep"

LOST SOUTH SEAS CONTINENT
Australian Professor Seeks Solution Of
Ancient Mystery.

The lost continent of the South
seas is a pet study Of DR.. Woolnough
of Sydney university. The main diff
Guilty in the way of reconciling exist
ing conditions with an original great
area was that depths of 1000 fathoms
occurred between the islands. 1t was
necessary to look for land evidence of
faulting or breaking to account for
the submarine depths. The granite
area in VIII Leva was found to be
from 400 to 600 square miles in ex-
tent, underlying the modern volcanic
rocks. A range of granite mountains
with precipitous cliffs on each side
gave evidence of heavy faults Great
ing chasms Of great depth. He found
the rivers forming a marked rectangu-
lar network, an appraised coral reef
200 feet above the sea level, conglOm-
crate rock showing sea shells at a
height of 500 feet above the sea, and
certain tilts and tufts which had
formerly been submarine and were
now at height of $500 feet. All
these indicated tremendous uplift
sufficient to cause greater faulting in
the original continent The rivers of
Fiji were of comparatively youthful
development, and even at present
passing through the canon cycle.

Fat Men and Jobs,

Employment agents say it's about as
hard to get work for fat man as for
a gray-haired one. According to their
statements, employers of labor hold
that a fat man is indolent. They as
sert that the hustler, the fast, nervous,
energetic worker, is sinewy rather
than fat, and does 80 per cent. more
work than the soft, fat fellow. at is
not uncommon for us to advise fat ap-
plicants to diet, said an employment
agent, "and reduce their weight before
beginning to canvass for g. job" So
