played goif-not one aay in the week,
not two, butevery day. And at night
the husband went home so tired no
one could get word out of him.
1t was hard on the young wife. She
couldn't get her husband to 60 out

He didn't want visitors; they borsd
him unless they talked golf or busi-

ROOM For INTENSIVE IMPROVEMENT

Steam railroad building in the United States
la 1912 not only did not run ahead of popu-
lstion. as has characterized this particular line
OF activity in the past. but tagged far behind.
This condition Is plainly evidenced by the Of
fetal figures for the year which show that
only 2,92s miles OF road were constructed, or
about one per cent of the existing mileage,
were in the United States. Railroads, of
course. could not keep up the ratio of mileage
increase indefinitely, any more than the raptt-
~ growing automobile industry can, and there
must be a slackening as proportions grow
though there is opportunity for extension into
hitherto unexplored Held-sections whose de-
veiopment would doubtless pay the developers
Handsomely,
So far as the long-suffering travelling public
is concerned. 1t would gladly approve any
present or future plans" of the railroads to ex-
pend any surplus designated heretofore for
extension work, on improvements to the track
age already in use. The announcement that
the Southern, FOR example, contemplates per-
manent Improvements on the West Point
branch win be hailed with delight The
Southern eoulda't possibly place an appro-
priation whore Is II more badly needed.
