cxtingushng the Negro. A fact more fully estab-

great falling off in the birth rate of people who, by
of their culture and material prosperity,

children more numerous than those of the ma

TIME is money says the old proverb but
l. never in the history of the world has it been
illustrated more forcibly than in present day rail-
roadlng The relative value of a minute in time,
measured bT the railroads in their recent stu
pendous task of leveling mountains, bridging
streams, and cutting through tunnels, be placed
at approximately million dollars. In the last
ten years the leading railroad lines of the coun
try have spent upward of eight hundred million dol
lars engineering work to eliminate the time factor
and they have saved thereby something like thirteen
fourteen hours in their regular schedules, making
the approximate cost of each minute gained
average of one million dollars.
In the early railroading days the survey of a new
line always followed the line of least resistance
mountain avoided as far possible by skirting
round its base; wide river crossed at its mar
rOweSt point by running many miles out OF straight
course to avoid the construction of extensive
bridges; terminals cities located where land
cheap, though to reach them few extra
miles of winding track had to be built and lead
ing city would often be tapped in roundabout
way in order to take in a few smaller towns scat
tered in irregular group along given route
As result of this policy the present day railroad
managers inherited some excellent specimens of
crooked lines, miles of heavy grades, tortuous
routes which seemed to wind round like the coils
Of a whip lash, and sharp that reduced
speed was necessary to travel over them. Speed
