suit. and thus we see how the natural
communal growth, with its suburban trib-
utaries, makes tor the extension Of this
substitution OF the electric locomotive.
You probably are still unsatisfed as 20
why the electric locomotive is more eco
nomical than It's rival, even though tins
volume OF traffic may warrant it's employ
ment. In order 20 make this plain, We
shall have 10 get our story from com

nevertheless is required OF its operators
when drawing Juice" from the charged
circuit. This energy may be wasted, just
as We overfil a tumbler by letting the
faucet run too fast. But these are not the
nrirne directions in when the costs vary
between the two types.
An up-to-date steam locomotive OF the
fast express type represents an outlay OF
quite 5000 A large electric locomotive
costs fully $4,000. but this greater initial
expenditure is Offset by other conditions
Because of its relative mechanical sim
plicity it's upkeep is just about half as
expensive as that OF the steam engine

road Skyscrapers will rise where for

But what YOU probably want to know
most is whether or not electric traction
is cheaper than steam; whether or not 1t
is really more advantageous than the
Older system. and what may We reason
ably expect OF the future. These queries
car he answered only after We get
knowledge OF the working principles. and
their differences, upon which steam and
electric haulage separately function best.
As you no doubt realize. each steam en-
CINE is an individual power plant. The
electric locomotive, on the other hand.
simply draws its energy from "A central
source OF supply, and this latter must

All OF these have to he maintained. and
they can be made 10 return profit upon
their investment provided the motive belt

Empty cars mean a loss, and infrequent
trains Likewise involve a financial sacr1-

OF the moving belt is more nearly fact
than most OF us realize. as the trains at
the Grand Central Station actually fol-

ton again for departure with a minimum
OF effort.
The more. then. the road is actively
employed the nearer the system ap-
proaches the ideal efficiency OF electric

that YOU play your part in making the
adoption OF the electric locomotive Dos

THE PARK AVENUE TUNNEL.


Ten years ago the occasional traveller
and the chronic commuter knew what II
was 10 pass through the Park avenue
tunnel. and every once in while the un-
pleasantness Of the gas and smoke laden
atmosphere was made more evident by a
halt in that vaduct. Finally. in 1903, the
congestion Of traffic at the 42d street
terminal and the foul air in the tunnel
led to action at Albany, which resulted in
the abandonment Of steam traction by the
New York Central Railroad south Of the
Harlem River. For reasons Of their own
the legislators in control were decidedly
impatient in their demands; they supu-
lated that the railroad company should
effect a complete change OF motive
power within the prescribed zone inside
OF the very short time OF FIVE years
The reason for this haste is not gen
orally known. At that time there were
number Of prominent local political lead
ers interested financially in pushing
system Of compressed air traction, and
those men hoped 10 crowd the New York
Central into adopting IT in substitution
OF steam haulage However. the enGin-
GERS 81 the railroad we're not TO be dis
n ayed by the revolutionary character OF
the law directed al them. and they sci
about calmly to choose form OF motive
energy which should answer FOR the years
10 come and lend Itself best 10 the scten-
tifc promise Of the future. Therefore
they chose electricity. and theii choice
has amply justified their deliberate judg-
uent. Their study OF the problem hesped
upon them has laid the foundation Of an
economic revolution in railroadins, and
We have reason for both local and ma
tiona pride in the work that those un-
daurted men have done. They were con
frontcd by staggering engineering task
and they met it successfully and splen-
didly.

GRAYSON ATTACKS
ORGANIZED BALL

Str Louis, Aug. 2.-William Gray
o of st. Louis and formerly presi-
dent of the Louisville American asso-
citation club has formally declared
war on organized baseball. A few
days ago the national commission de-
cided a claim of $4,000 against Gray
son, Z who had claimed this amount
from President Murphy of the Cubs.
due him for the deal which sent Che
ney to the Cubs in the fall Of 1911.
In a story published today in a
st. Louis paper, Grayson exposes the
dealings he had. with Murphy while
he (Grayson) was with the Louisville
club. Letters show how Murphy
EARNED" players to Louisville, sent
Pitcher. Kroh to Louisville and. in
structed ,Grayson that II Kroh was
sold the. money should be. handed to
the Chicago Cubs.
/, Grayson also exposes his agreement
with Murphy for the $1,000. II the
commission refuses to grant Grayson
this decision. he will take the case to
the civil courts, where, he declares, he
can wreck and ruin organized base
ball withHsuch an exposure.
