KEEP TAB ON TRACK WALKER
Clocks Placed Along Limo Make 1t Inn
perative for Men to Be Always
ION the job"
Popular Mechanics.

Move along! Move along! Move
along!" incessantly chirp the little
clocks with which the track welkers
on sections of a prominent eastern
railroad have been equipped.
A track walker is supposed to walk.
His title is not honorary, and his Job
Is not a sinecure-unless he trans
forms it into one, and that Is against
orders.
On his walking and his watchfui-
ness depend the lives or thousands OF
travellers, for he is supposed to ascer-
tain that every inch of rail on his
"beat" Is fit for the safe passage Of 10
comotive and cars.
Until recently, the company relied
solely on card system to keep tab on
these employees. This was an excellent
incentive to good walking until some
track walker. who some day may be
president Of railroad, discovered
that friendly station operator, with q
few strokes of his pen, could cover
miles of ground. The operators were
instructed to sign the cards Of the
track walkers when they appeared at
their stations. Collusion between the
card bearer and the signer was pos
sible, and the company cast about for
system which would eliminate 1t.
The move along" clocks were the
answer. Patrol stations have been
placed along the track walkers beats.
Each station has q different key. Each
key registers differently from every
other key. To have a clean sheet In
his clock the walker must visit each
patrol station. There Is no possibility
CT collusion between him and keys.
whereby he can sit on a pile of ties
and dream away the time that should
be spent In walking.
Move along! Move along!" chirp
the clocks.

their family affairs, the effect may be
iof peculiar interest Witness the fol,

THE GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
Proof That Newspaper 10 Quickest
Working Force for Bringing Buyer
and Seller Together.

Politics, European complications
which have more or less influence on
the trend Of American business
strikes, floods, tariff revision and like
factors which usually hamper and re-
tard business haze had no effect on
newspaper advertising in our country.
To the contrary this line Of advert1s-
ing has continued to grow and this
growth is not confined to certain sec
ltions or cities, but was national, which
is evidence that our business men
have learned that newspaper advertis-
ing not only as force to make all
kinds of propositions known. but also
Ito create demands, is the best method
10 combat adverse influences and to
keep goods moving.
Newspaper advertising has in the
last few years constantly grown and
by many it has been thought that
the last year, which has been a rec
,ord-breaking year in this line, has
seen the acme of expansion. Yet, the
new year has brought increased actiVt-
ties and there is no sign Of let-up.
There Is no reason for one. Our pop
lulation continues to grow, daily wants
and desires of the people continue
unabated and have to be satisfied.
The newspapers themselves have by
educational talks on the Importance
'of ad reading influenced their readers
ito look at their advertising pages as
Important sources Of information on
markets and economics as on the news
pages that keep them posted on the
local, state, national and international
happenings.
1t is interesting to note that coin
lcident with the fact that in this time.
when wide-awake, active and progress
lsive business men and those who have
made profession Of advertising are
constantly studying advertising and
merchandising problems, newspaper
advertising alone has phonemenally
grown, while other lines Of publicity
have either contracted or come to a
halt If this admits of conclusion 1t
ican be no other than that the busi-
ness world and all who depend on
publicity have become imbued with
the conviction that newspaper adver-
tising Is the best and quickest work,
ing force to bring buyers and seller5
together, to inspire confidence, and to
keep merchandise on the go.-Mai!

Track Made Flower Garden.

The Romney branch of one OF the
largest railroads Of the state Is so pro-
fusely blooming with flowers for 20
miles that trains are moving along the
line with difficulty, says the New York
Sun.
The abundance Of flowers came
about through the breaking Of two
boards in the floor of a car loaded with
nasturtium, sweet pea and morning
glory seeds several weeks ago. The
seeds were scattered along the track
for miles. Then came heavy rains
which turned the roadbed into an
elongated flower garden.
While the road is more beautiful in
appearance than usual, the posies are
interfering seriously with the schedule
and the section hands are busy trying
to kill out the unwelcome blooms.

While serving life term In the

Peter Olson has made an invention
that has removed his family from all
danger Of immediate want, and may
open the prison doors to him.
When Olson was sent to the prison
for life he was placed at work In the
tool house and the blacksmith shop.
Following series of railroad wrecks
caused by broken rails he conceived
the idea of reversible rail, exactly
the same thing on each side, instead
of having a thin base on the ties.
The plan has been patented and
