through a nipple that won't collapse

in the most human kind of way and
make your advertising appeal to both
mothers and fathers.

You could start to advertise in the
smallest cities throughout the country
cities like Syracuse, Schenectady,
Rochester, Binghamton and Buffalo
in New York state; Detroit, Michigan,
Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio. Five
thousand dollars will go a great way
in these communities and will give
you a large amount OF space in one
good newspaper in each city.
Before you get through with theEe
cities-before your money is half gone,
unless am very much mistaken--you
will be doing enough business to justify
taking up several other cities-but
get your start in the smaller conmu-
mites first. I think they will supply
you with enough money, as q direct
result of your advertising, to enable
you to start advertising in most of the
cities of the country in due course of

ulation.

European Roads Far Behind
Lines in America.
Equipment i'm This Country
Surpasses Foreign.
HAVE GOOD ROADBED
Almost No Expense for Main
tenance There.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Kansas City. No. July 1S.-That
European railways are SO far behind
those in the United States that there IL
little comparison is the opinion formed
by J. F. Holden, vice president in
charge of traffic of the Kansas City
southern, who has returned from six
weeks European trip. Mr.. Holden has
a very poor opinion of the British sys-
TENS in particular. The locomotives
and equipment in general, he says, are
much poorer than in America Ameri-
can day coaches, Mr.. Holden says, are
as comfortable as the finest equipment
on English railways. The coaches in
England have side doors and the seats
are box like affairs in which the pas
senger must remain until his journey
is complete. If one desires to smoke
he must remain in the smoking car
during the entire journey.
The only point of favorable COM
parison Mr.. Holden found was in the
firmly settled, making fast running
with the light equipment possible.
There is almost no expense for main
tenance Of way.
Passenger rates average about 4
cents per mile. Freight rates are high
able water competition between the
large cities, but as there are only short
hauls it does not affect the rail rates
Wages paid enginemen and trainmen
are much lower than in the United
States seldom exceeding $40 to $50 Il
month, and the train crews consist
only of an engineer, fireman and con-
ductor. The conductor handles all the
switches and performs all the services
on the train outside of the engine. The
engines do not have cabs and the en-
CINE crew is exposed to the elements
The trains seldom are equipped with
brakes save for those in the engines.
Freight cars average about seven tons
capacity.
Even with the higher rates for both
freight and passenger transportation,
it is doubtful whether English railroads
would pay any dividends should their
employees receive as much pay as those
In America Mr.. Holden said yester-
day. English railroads are highly cap
italized, a great deal more so than
those In America, and all expenses
must be kept at a minimum"
Transportation facilities in Germany
are much better, Mr. Holden said, and
of European countries more nearly APP
proach in efficiency the railroads Of
America.

NO PRIVATE WIRES FOR BUSH.
Missouri Pacific Head Does Away With
Gould Custom.

Missouri Pacific Head Does Away With
Gould Custom.
New York, July 1S.-To make sure
that the headquarters of the Missouri
Pacific will be maintained in St. Louis
instead of New York, President Bush
has ordered private wire connections
with the Gould offices. 165 Broadway,
cut off. George J. Gould, chairman
of the Missouri Pacific board, and for
mer president, is in Europe. 1t is I'M
derstood in railroad and financial cir
cles that Mr.. Bush's contract with the
Missouri Pacific precludes interference
from New York. The elimination of
the private wire service, Mr.. Bush esti-
mates, will save the company $23,0
annually. Similar improvements in
other lines he figures will save the
company enough to pay his salary.
Mr.. Gould as president of the road
received no salary.
This is part of the many reforms
and economies that have recently been
instituted by the Missouri Pacific man
agement. It is accepted in financial
circles as an evidence that George ].
Gould was sincere when he promised
his bankers that he would not in future
interfere in the management of the
property and would give President
Bush a free hand in the operation OF
the Missouri Pacific system.

Atchison, Kan, July 18.-Six car
loads of Mexican 1aborers began work
today on the Missouri Pacific line at
shannon hill, northeast of here, where
the top of the hill will be taken off
and a sag filed. Shannon hill is one
of the most difficult grades between
Kansas City and Omaha. A big fill
also will be made this side of Hia-
watha, and steam shovels are on that
job.
It is understood new steel will be
laid on the line between Falls City
and Kansas City before October, when
the new fast train will be put on, and
that twenty Mikado type engines have
been ordered from the Baldwin works
for use on this division.
