CARS ELECTRICALLY LIGHTED
Baltimore and Ohio Keeping Pace
with the Times

In line with the improvement in
passenger service on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, the New York
and Chicago Limited. Nos. ) and
s, also the Pullman equipment in
the St. Louis Limited, Nos. 1 and
,, are now electrically lighted, be-
ginning with the new schedule
which went into effect May Goth.
About three wears ago the
Royal Limited trains between
New York and Washington were
electrically lighted throughout
while the dining and official cars
have been so lighted for many
years. There are many advan-
tages possessed by this method OF
lighting over any other, rendering
it especially adapted for lighting
railway equipment of all classes.
Until recently, however. the art
of electrically lighting passenger
equipment in general was not
sufficiently advanced and we'll
established to warrant its general
adoption except on the better
classes of limited trains operated
as a unit between terminals.
In the electrically lighted service
the Baltimore and Ohio has in.
augurated a distinctive feature is
the placing of berth lights in the
upper as we'll as the lower berths Of
the Pullman cars. This feature
will add much to the comfort Of
those desiring to read after retir-
ing. The system of electric light
ing used on the New York and
Chicago Limited trains is known
as the head-end system; electric
generator being placed in the for
ward part of the baggage car and
propelled by steam supplied from
the engine.
Each car in the train is equipped
with storage batteries, current for
the lights and charging the stor-
age batteries being supplied from
the generator in the forward end
of the baggage car. A distinctive

KANSAS UNIQUE SCHEME
Children Ride to School in Closed and
Heated Wagons.

One of the principal things that
attracts the settler to a town is
the school and then a means Of
getting there.
In many sections Of Kansas the
small boys and girls living on the
farms have had to tramp from one
to three miles through the mud
and snow to school. Now the
plan of combining small country
districts about one graded school
and providing comfortable trans
portation for the children is
spreading rapidly.
The consolidated school is the
dissolution Of two or more dis
tricts and the formation of large
one with a graded school in the
center. This makes the trans
portation problem an important
one, and in all consolidated school
districts the tax levy is made
large enough to pay for hauling
the children to school and back
home. A wagon is often pur-
chased by the district and a con-
tract given to some farmer to do
the hauling.
Sometimes the farmer takes a
long time contract and buys his
own wagon. II a farmer desires
to haul his own children to school
the district paws him a certain
amount for doing it, or neighbors
may club together and turn over
this money to one boy, who drives
the team each day and takes care
Of it and sees that the children get
to school all right and safely
home. But the most common
plan is the use of a big covered
and glass inclosed wagon with an
oil heater inside.
Figures compiled by the state
superintendent OF instruction show
that the children do better work
and in less time than under the
old methods. The statistics on
file in the Office also show that
even with this great hauling ex-
pense the actual cost to the tax
payers is less in consolidated than
in separate districts. Better teach
ers are employed and higher sal
aries paid, but there is a larger
reduction in fuel, repairs and
maintenance Of the larger build
ing than in several smaller struc-
lures.

BREAD ON THE WATERS
RecOmpense. JUST Like in the Stories
and Plays.

A Cleveland paper tells of a
tramp who came to the back door
of residence and begged for shoes.
The mistress of the house gave
him good pair and said to him;
There, put these on, and if YOU
want to show YOUR gratitude, just
happen around here some morning
after snowstorm and clean of
our sidewalk. "
Some time after the lady was
awakened early one morning by
some one scraping the sidewalk in
front of the house. Looking out,
she found that there had been
quite a heavy fall Of snow, and
there she beheld the tramp to
whom she had given the shoes,
clearing away the snow from the
sidewalk with an old 3 broken
shovel When he caught sight

down as tolerably certain that the man
who talks the most about his troubles,
is the man who has the fewest. The real
