IMPROVEMENTS

Mr.. Francis T. Brinkley. division
freight agent OF the Norfolk & West
ern railway was in Bristol wednes-
day.
Mr.. Brinkiey is well posted on all
matters OF traffic and talks interesting
ly regarding them. To Courier re-
porter he said yesterday that the
mighty onward sweep OF business
prosperity. had resulted in produc-
ton far in excess of the ability of the
great transportation companies to
handle. One OF the chief difficulties
with the Transportation companies
is 10 get cars and engines with which
to handle the traffic. Labor has be-
come scarce anu material hard TO get,
so that the great car building COM
panies, after having doubled. and In
some instances more than doubled
the capacity OF their plants, are still
unable to keep up with the rapidly
increasing demands upon them The
transportation companies say TO the
car-building companies, of you peo-
llle would only give us cars, we could
handle the traffic" and I'm turn the
car builders say to the railroads, "If
you people would only haul us ma
terial and find men for us, We would
deliver the cars to you
The unequalled production simply
seems TO have both the car-builders
and the railway people wondering
how they are ever TO catch up.
Mr.. Brinkley said he did not see
much chance for a backward step in
this region. Much heavy railway con-
struction is In progress, he said, and
II cannot be completed this year
Millions OF dollars being paid out for
labor and material. and these new
roads call for large quantities OF tim
Der, steel rails, structural steel,
masonry etc, so that there is no pros
pect OF a lull is operations for some
time to come.
N, e. WIS NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Speaking Of improvements on the
Norfolk & Western, Mr. Brinkley said
that the company had made wonder
full strides, but that after all IL had
not been able keep up with the
enormous demands upon its 1000
miles OF road. The company added TO
its rolling stock last July and August
ffty-hve new locomotives 1t has adj
ded five more since the first of the
year. 1t has let the contract for l.
900 new freight cars, and is building
in It's own shops at Roanoke 5000
freight cars. 1t has also let the con
tract for twenty-five new engines. As
soon as the company has completed
the 500 cars on which It is now work
ing In Roanoke, 1t will begin on the
construction OF an additional 1000.
In addition to all this work, the
company is spending large sums OF
money double-tracking building new

Facts About Building Stone.

Almost everybody knows the rule Of
the masons that stone used in build
ing should be so placed that it will lie
as It lay in its natural bed when quar-
ried. But Francis w. Hoyt in the En-
gneering News says that this familiar
rule is not always 10 be depended upon
and needs in many cases to be supple
mented with other precautions. There
are three planes Of fracture known to
qua-rymen. The rift is the direction
IN which the stone splits most easily,
the grain that which is next easiest,
the head that which offers the greatest
resistance. In paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
10 the plane Of the rift; hence the i'm
perfection OF the ordinary rule for plac-
ing the stone in building.

The most wonderful ceremonies con-

thronged with people dressed in gala

their caps Gentlemen of rank and
wealth are carried in palanquins. When
friends meet they greet each other
with "Kung-hi. Kung-hi" which
means. Il respectfully wish you joy"

American fashion each grasps his own
hands. lifts them as high as his chin

ABUSE OF INDOORS.
We Rely Too Much en- the Protection
Of Our Houses.


Houses We're made for shelter. not
for confinement; for freedom. not re-
straint They We're intended TO enlarge
our sphere Of activities. not to dimin-
ish them.
They foster the family and make
progress possible. but We should not
abuse their protection. We have crawl
ed away into their still and comforta-
bic recesses. slept in their dry. clean
chambers. toasted ourselves over their
sheltered fires. read by their unficker-
Ing lights and eaten from their bounti-
ful boards SO long that we are grown
pale, timid. peevish and thankless
withal
We have kept ourselves away from
the wind and the sun and the flashing
rain, from the feel Of the earth under
foot and the sense of the leaves and
stars overhead until we no longer know
the keen and simple joys OF being
alive. We have set up barriers against
the inclsmency of nature and covered
before her severe austerity until now
we have forgotten how indispensable
is all her kindly nurture. how tonic her
rugged ways. how full of solace her
assuaging calm.
Houses were only made to live In
when it Is too cold or too hot or too
wet to live out of doors. ANY other time

doors for a month is better than a trip
