p. r. r. Co. Building Wood-pre-
serving plant Near philadelphia.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has awarded contract for the erection
of complete pressure wood. preserving
plant at Point House Pier. Greenwich
Point. In addition to the plant 10 be
constructed the company has one at
Mount Union. A small experimental
plant is already in operation at Green
wich Point. The Pennsylvania Railroad
alone uses from $500, 900 to 1000, 600
ties each year for renewals and new
work. The average life of these red oak
and chestnut ties under present conditions
in main running tracks is from three 10
four years, while white oak lasts from
seven TO eight years.
The Pennsylvania Railroads enormous
requirements for ties and lumber strip the
timber from sople so, 900 acres annually.
1t is estimated that by properly treating
with prestrvatives even part of this
timber its life will be SO increased that
perhaps 25,o 900 acres will supply the com-
pany's needs.
The plant will have storage yard
covering an area of about rs acres along
the Delaware River. This will afford a
storage capacity for from rs, 600 to I,ooo.-
900 ties. Storage tracks will be built,
and a "a inch gauge track will be laid for
the operation of the cylinder cars
Other material will be given preserva-
tive treatment, including bridge timber,
telegraph poles, crossarms, planking and
shingles.
The capacity ofthe one cylinder will be
from $50, 900 to 1000, 900 ties per year,
working day and night shifts. The two
plants of the company will have a ca
pacity of 1900, 900 ties per year.

LEADER AMONG NEWSPAPERS
The Philadelphia Record journal
That is Not Selfish as to the
News
News

One of the many traits that commend the
Philadelphia Record to people who do not live
in the great cities is that it is newspaper that
is not selfish about it's news, and is not tcity
centered in its ambitions. There has long
been well-grounded complaint that most of
the great metropolitan dailies are provincial,
and take it for granted that city news is all
that is necessary for them to print.
The Record apparently takes a different
view. While giving faithful chronicle of all
that occurs in it's own city, it does not neglect
nor skimp the news of any part of the wide
field that it covers. Any issue of this big news
paper is full of proof that it prints full and re-
liable reports of everything of interest that
occurs in its whole territory.
The Record is refreshingly different from
other big dailies in many ways It is steady
and reliable, and not prone to get wildly ex-
cited over some spectacular undertaking
crusade of its own making. Instead of pack
ing its columns with frenzied discussions, it
simply prints the news, and, according to we'll
verified claims, more items of news than any
other newspaper in the country.

The river hills which for SO many
years have been regarded as practically
valueless and Of little moment, promise
to be the source of future supply of stone
for concrete, railroad ballasting, macad-
amizing public roads and other purposes
for this section Of the country. Large
developments along these lines are now
being made.
The large plant near Lapidum, on
which $50, 900 to 500, 900 has already been
expended, is turning out large quantities
of crushed stone, which are being towed
to Annapolis, Baltimore and other points.
The quarry of P. L. Hopper, which has
been opened by E. M Good, is now in
operation and a large stone crusher is
stone daily, to be spread upon the streets
of Havre de Grace. The trap rock in the
quarry is of exceptional good quality, the
output of which promises to be in full
demand. even after the street improve
ments have been fully completed.
A large force of men have opened
the quarry on the Donnelly farm, within
the limits of Havre de Grace, just above
the B. & o. railroad tracks, at the west
end Of the bridge, for the Casparis Stone
Company, who will operate same.
1t is proposed to conduct the business
on large scale at this point and large
openings will be made. A four-track
siding will be laid to the quarries from
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tracks, the
grading for which has already been com
pleted for laying the tracks.
These rugged granite hills of lower
Hartford promise large developments and
to become an important factor in the in
dustrial enterprises of this section, adding
to the wealth and prosperity Of this grand
old county of Harford-which is second
to none in the State.-Havre de Grace

rs TT a wAvn,

There are waves" OF various and
widely different kinds which pass over
the country. and just now we seem to
be passing through q wave OF crime.
II is almost sickening tn take up a
newspaper and read the daily accounts
OF criminal acts committed in all Soc.
lions Of the country. No special seq
ton can boast OF immunity. nor can one
point an accusing finger At another.
for all are more or less guilty. There
can hardly be a crime Imagined that Is
not reported from some point or other.
and humanity finds 1t difiicuit TO even
imagine the fendishness OF some Of the
offences we read Of. In view Of the
spread of educational and religious
work It fs almost discouragfng to re-
fleet that men seem to be growing more
iawless and criminal. Is human ma
tire becoming more dApraved. or Is 1t
because improved news facilities keep
us better informed of what In being
done? Whatever 1t may be. II is not
encouraging to good people to road of
what is going on in all parts OF the
world.
70 this criminaiity and iawiessness.
this evident Disregard Of human life
and property. and human rights and
liberty were entirely confined to what
wo are wont to call the barbarous ma
lions 1t would not be so discouraging.
but we seem to be approaching q time
when we win have no right to look
with disapproval or contempt on the
people OF other countries where vio-
lsncs is perennial, for the daily roc
ords OF our own land stare us In the
face and condemn us. The ministers
and the educators. the churches and
the conscientious newspapers; good
men and women in all walks of life
are striving TO make the world and its
Inhabitants better, and they are doing
good work. but we suppose 1t is bs-
yond human power to abolish crime.
All the same. none of US can read the
daily reports without wondering
there is a sure enough criminal wave

Infant Mortality.

Medical Record. May 22, 1909
William Leland Stowell of New
York shows where we have gained in
respect to infant mortality and where
we have lost. Some causes OF mortal
ity are nonmaturity of the ovum. ille-
gitimacy, heredity of syphilis, alcohol
ism, and tuberculosis. Since 1890 the
death rate has increased in the English
speaking countries. Epidemic and con-
tagious diseases largely cause deaths
among infants. Children cared for by
their mothers are much more likely
to live. Those cared for In country
homes fare better than those in In
artificial feeding has a most important
effect on mortality. Over-crowdinR in
unhygienic surroundings has very
bad effect on infants. The advantages
Infanticide by neglect sometimes oc-
ours. Mortality from typhoid and ma
laria have decreased; whooping cough,
dysentery and diarrhoea have fmprov-
ed: measles and scarlet fever remain
the same, and smallpox has increased.
Pulmonary tuberculosis has fallen OFF
somewhat. General mortality has de-
creased. The number OF children at
tackled by contagious diseases increas-
es with exposure at school and away
increased enormously. Venereal dis
eases have increased. DaY nurseries.
fresh air work, advice to mothers on
care OF children, and instruction by
nurses all give valuable help tn less
enlng mortality. Much more could be
done by sorial agencies to educate
young parents The author concludes
tha1 we must do more by skilled dag
nosis and treatment to lessen deaths
from preventable causes. Improved
sanitation and hygiane must be taught
in schools and by other agencies ev-
eryhwere.
