YOUNG MEN
TO BE ADVANCED

Many changes, both in the mechan-
ical and motive power branches Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, are expected,
owing to the death of Richard n. Dur
borrow, superintendent of motive
power. His appointment last summer
to the position he held at the time of
his death caused many promotions in
the motive power department Il is
anticipated that a number Of the
younger men will receive recognition.
It will place them in line for the high
er responsibilities that are likely to be
assigned to them within "a very few
years, because an equal number of Of
ficials are speedily approaching that
period when the pension rules well
compel their retirement. Within a

PENNSY MAY USE
STEEL CAR ROOF
Company Experiments With
Metallic Roofing Material
at Pitcairn Shops

Pennsylvania equipment experts
are investigating the merits of mos
tallic car roof recently put upon the
market with a view to adopting II.
Pitcairn shopmen are interested in
the outcome. The essential features
of the roof in question are: Flexibil-
ity between the roof-sheets; a form
and arrangement Of carlines. ridge
poles and purlns which drawn o. au-
tomatically all water that may ind
its way underneath the ridge-pole and
carline caps; an arrangement which
protects the carline attachments and
sheets from being raked OFF by pro-
iecting obstacles: metallic running
board saddles so arranged as to place
the weight of the running g-boards and
whatever loads they may carry di-
rectly on the carlines and involving
the attachment of the running-boardS
by means of bolts instead of nails,
and finally, a method of securing and
interlockng the various parts in such
a manner as TO hold them securely in
place.
The carlines used in this construc-
ton are pressed from 3-16 inch steel
in the form of a letter L, having
flanges of liberal width to afford a
bearing for the roof sheets The con-
vex side of the carlinnes IS placed
downward and the car lines them
selves taper from the center toward
the ends. which are supported by side
plates over which they lap and TO
which they are secured at either end
by means of a pair of horizontal
square-necked collar bolts
The roof-sheets and carline caps
are Of lie inch galvanized steel. the
lower ends or the caps being protect
ed by malleable iron hoods. The run
ming boards saddles are provided with
lugs to keep the running boards in
alignment, the latter being secured TO
the saddles by carriage bolts. Each
saddle is provided with a pair Of
downwardly-extending lugs by means
of which they are bolted firmly to the
carlines. thus relieving the roof-sheets
from all possibility of distortion dua
to whatever load they might be re-.
quired to support otherwise.

opened his desk he pushed aside all the
big bullying envelopes with return marks
on the upper left hand corner, and seized
a small thin one. He smiled as he
shifted the scent that always chung about
her belongings and read the note. His
face paled and stiffened, as he read. The
note was brief. 1t broke the engage
ment.
That is the reason the young man is
pounding on the law of loss and gain.
He has lost, it is true, and doubtless the
loss seems great. A pink and white
girl with conflding eyes and caressing
voice with worth many times her weight
in gold,' even. in diamonds, to the man
who loves her. Or he thinks she is. The
fairy that throws dazzle dust into our
eyes at mating time always looks after
that important detail She provides the
illusions, plenty Of them, otherwise there
would be few marriages. The loss is the
vanishing OF the girl as he thinks she is
But over against every loss an expert
bookkeeper sets an opposing and equal
amount. That, by some compensation to
bookkeepers and necessary for the bal
ancing of accounts, represents gain. What
is the young mans gain? His loss. The
loss of a girl who cares so little for
him that she cares a great deal for his
ancestors Practical gain set over against
visionary loss. Fortunate though, IN
happy young man.
The net loss a heartless girl, probably
a mindless one, TOO, If she allowed her
sister to make a weathervane of her.
The net gam, freedom to seek a wffe
who cares not at all for his ancestors,
but all-the world for him. The loss, his
belief that girls are al as simple and
loving as they seem. The gain, his
knowledge than in the United States,
whose cornerstone is equality, there are
persons who cannot forgive a masseuse
in family even for relationship to
king It would be interesting to hear this
young foreigner, honest enough to tell
his sweetheart about the masseuse as
we'll as the king, honestly thinks about
our free and equal land. The young man
will not relish the knowledge that there
are such Americans, as he will not
relish the loss of the girl, but it will
be a curious anomaly worth his con-
sideration, that in a land here a rich
founder of one of the richest families
was a ferryman, and the founder OF an
other peddler OF mousetraps, that the
presence of a masseuse in the family
annals could not be overlooked.
Loss gain. and valuable experience,
most valuable experience.
The computation OF loss and gain will
cut some lines into the young MANS
face than newer and softer experiences
will not be able to erase.
But when years have brought discrim-
mating wisdom he will think the keeper
of his llfe's accounts has made a huge
mistake If the sides of that particular
page of his ledger do not balance. For
he knows that the bookkeeping was mere
Juggling that in truth he lost nothing
! and gained everything.

The Courage Of Happi ness
BY THE GENTLEwOMAN.

The courage TO be happy consists not
so much in tramping on the rights and
feelings of others as in accepting with a
brave and joyful spirit whatever fate
may be melted out to one. Sidney Smith
once gave as a recipe for happiness, a
bright fire, to remember all the pleasant
things said TO and of one, 70 keep a box
of sugar plums on the mantelpiece and a
kettle simmering on the hob, which, being
interpreted, means of course. that hap
piness is to be found in grateful apprecia-
ton Of the ordinary and simple pleasure
Of life. To live whole-heartedIy in the
present is undoubtedly a great promoter
OF happiness. SO many people spend their
time in anxious fears or vain regrets
Part OF their consciousness lies behind
in the past, and part is projected into the
future. They are not "all there" Peo-
pie can train themselves TO be happy just
as they can train themselves to be
healthy. Look Within" said Marcus
Aurelius, within is a fountain OF hap

Facts 5rot Out at Hearing Show that

Coroner Taylor held an inquest
Wednesday over the remains of Knute
Hustad, the car repairer who met
death while at his work. Several
witnesses were examined, some who
We're working with him. The cause
OF the accident is about the same as
given elsewhere in this ISSUE. The
man was working on a car and had
mo way OF knowing that the Jacks
had slipped out from under another
car which came down upon him. His
chest was caught between the knuck-
les OF the bumpers which went en-

When they could not couple the cars
bounded back and the man fell to
the ground. He asked the first work
man who came to his assistance to
send for his wife, as he realized that

lived for two hours after the acct
dent. Altho an operation was per-
formed, there was absolutely no
chance for his recovery.
The coroner's jury consisted Of J.

G. Smallwood.
