ELIOT'S 5-F00T LIBRARY
AVAILABLE ON TRAINS

4 complete library for the travel
ing people something distinctively
new in railroad service, has just been
adopted by the Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy Railroad for it's fast trains
between Chicago and Denver.
Four new cars were on exhibition
yesterday at the passenger yards of
the Burlington Railroad System at
Fourteenth street and attracted wide
attention among railway experts.
The Burlington will equip each of
the cars with Five Foot Library"
selected by DR.. Charles w. Eliot
President, Emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity and in addition will supply
Iother works intended to give selection
of the broadest possible scope to the
amount of space available.
The new cars are unique in many
ways, embodying the idea of loung-
ing club on wheels. The cars are for
the general use of its passengers and
in all likelihood will be as well pa
tronized by the women as the men.
One end of the car is devoted to a
sort of sun parlor arrangement which
is regarded as big improvement on
the old style observation attachment
This section is entirely enclosed in
glass fitted in bronze window sashes
and bronze doors. The windows are
so adjusted TO the sash which is part
ed in the middle that they can be
lowered and raised to suit the atmos-
pheric conditions.
When the weather permits, this
part of the coach may be used in
much the same way as the observa-
tion platform. In weather that is
less favorable, the windows may be
adjusted so as TO entirely eliminate
the dust feature.

fet-smoking room, seating nineteen
passengers. a writing room with two
