Fig RE Z-Steel he-ln10rcemeh
With thh rapid disappearance
of forests and the decrease in the
supply of timper there has come
in this country serious problem
as TO reliable substitute for
wood for crOssties In railroad
construction Steel ties, which
have been invented, are still in
the experimental stage and their
reliability is questionable. Con-
crete with proper reinforcement
seems to be the main hope in this
connection, aud concrete is grow
ing in favor for construction
work of many kinds. Geo. ID,
Hill, Louisville man, has re-
Gently been granted patent for
a reinforced concrete crosstie for
railway purposes, and his friends
believe he has solved the prob
lem. If not he has certainly TAX
en- a big step in the right direc-
tion. His tie has already won
the favor of the Engineers Club
of Chicago, and is beginning to
attract wide attention. 1t has
already received prominent men
tion in the Louisville Times and
other papers.
Mr., Hill is we'll known here
abouts. He is assistant engineer
of the Henderson and st. Louis
Division, of the Louisville d
Nashville railroad, with head
quarters at Evansville He is
thirty-two years old. At&he age
Of sixteen he graduated from the
class of 1896 OF the Louisville
Manual Training High School,
the first graduating class of that
institution, and was especially
strong in mathematics. Later
he graduated from Kentuck
State College. He took up Rail
road work In the construction de-
partment and steadily advanced
until he reached his present POI
sitlon.
His concrete tie has a numberI
of features which can be fully
appreciated only by those having
a technical knowledge of the SUBJ
iect. One feature of special ad-
vantage, obvious to all, is a colI
lapsible mold, which faculties
the manufacture of ties along
the line of track construction.
Concrete ties of previous design
had the objection of having to be
factory made. Mr.. Hill's tie is
reinforced with steel rods and
has clamp arrangement to make
the rail secure. The tie is also
provided with an asphalt bed un.
derneath the rail to give resili-
ency to the track.
Mr.. Hill, the inventor, is a SOD
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chss. F. Hill,
of Louisville. The senior Mr..
Hill was for many years in the

Physicians Asked not 70 Send Dying
INDECENT Patients 10 Southwest.

PhySieians In all Of the eastern and
southern states win be asked by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of Tuberculosis to stop
sending eonsumptives in the last stages
of tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part Of the
United States in search Of health, ae-
eording to an announcement made to-
day by that association.
While it is impossible to tell aecu-
rately how many eoDsumptives there
are at present living in the states Of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, South
ern California, and Western Texas, it
is probable that no less than 10 per
cent Of the 6,OOO, 900 people in this ter
ritory have tuberculosis themselves or
have come to the West because some
member Of their family has had it.
Every year, the health authorities es-
innate, not less than 10000 consump-
tives hopelessly diseased come West to
die. For these cases, the climate Of
this section Of the country can do
nothing and they are compelled to die
in strange surroundings and thousands
Of miles from home and friends.
The National Association points out
further that from 80 to so per cent Of
these advanced cases are too poor to
provide the proper necessaries Of life
and that they are either starved to
death or compelled to accept the msagre
charity which this part of the country
affords.
In an effort to stop the migration
of eonsumptives Of this class to the
the National Association
win ask physicians to be more careful
in ordering patients to 60 away, and
viii also ask railroads to discontinue
their practice Of selling "charity"
tickets to those who cannot afford to
pay fun fare. Ono eonsumptive
should 20 to Colorado, California, or
the West for his health" says the as
"unless he has a good chance
for recovery from his disease, and un-
less especially he has at least 1000
10 spend for this purpose, over and
above what his family may need.
tuberculosis can be cured in any
Dart.of the United States, and it is not
necessary for a tuberculosis patient to
20 West. Whenever possible, the Ma
.ional Association urges tuberculosis
patients who have not ample funds to
70 to a sanatorium near home, and If
hey cannot do this, to take the cure
n their own homes, under the direction
