GOOD WORK WELL SUPPORTED

This year Young Mems Christian as.

break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,000 600 was
secured in twelve days, has given stim.
illus both to Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. Added to it
was the 100000 campaign for build.
ing in foreign capitals. Brooklyn
women, with the aid of a few men,
have just secured $415,000; Atlanta
men, 100000; Reading, $217,000;

mittee asked for but 500, 900; Charles

$4,000; Walla Walla, Wash, $4,000,
and Ishpeming, Mich, $22,500. Associ-
alton leaders say three things help
them in getting these large sums:
Christian unity, a short and public ap-
peal, and real results accomplished in

ALL-STEEL CAR
ERA AT HAND
Railroads Confronted With
Probability Of Replacing
Present Equipment

Complaint is made by the railroads,
voiced here by an official high on the
roster OF one OF the principal systems,
that the proposed Federal requirement
OF aii-steel passenger cars exclusively
would entail an expenditure that it
would be difficult for them to meet.
except in the course Of replacements.
Based on the average cost OF steel
equipment, Il is estimated that an out
lay of $500, 400 would be neces-
STATED to substitute 46,901 all-steel
cars for an equal number of wooden
ones yet in use, while assuming the
value OF the latter to be $4,000 each,
the charge to operating expense for
scrapping them would aggregate $751;
GOA, 900.
Two bills are under consideration
by Congress at present, both looking
to the end Indicated although neither
provides for the suggested substitu-
ton Immediately. One of them, the
Esch bill, provides that after January
1, next, the use Of any new or rebuilt
passenger cars that do not conform to
standard steel frame and super
structure form to be resignated by the
American Railway Association and In
terstate commerce commission shall
be inhibited, while the other, known
as the Talcott bill. inhibits the oper-
alton of any passenger cars other than
Of steel construction after 1916.
The railroads themselves are re-
sponsible for the present demand for
all-steel passenger equipment, the
Pennsylvania having introduced the
innovation some four years since, first,
presumably for advertising purposes
and afterward, as the value OF the
steel cars as conducting to the safety Of
travellers was demonstrated. as a mat
ter OF policy, and other systems are
/ following suit
OF the 54,609 passenger coaches In

1910. 1927 or 5.3 per cent. were OF
all-steel construction, and 1 1.481 or 81
per cent. were equipped with steel un-
derframes. The rapid rate at which
such cars are being introduced IL
shown clearly by the fact that "a per
cent of the 1000 passenger cars ac-
quirsd in 1909 we're OF all-steel con-
