which year Congress authorized the
erection of the statue which has but

commission invited all the leading
sculptcrs TO submit designs in a com
petition In 1905 models were sub

over them carefully, the contest mar
rowed down to three designs. the re-

The first train to be given yes

This Improvement in the SER

in time every passenger train ON
the Vandalia will be operated
with solid vestibule equipment.
The big vestibule cars are freer
from smoke and being heavier
ride easier. The closed veStibules
also eliminate all chance of ac-
