ALEXANDRIA,. VA. NOV. l


At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the plan prepared
by c. Lee Moore, of this city, State
auditor. for the segregation of the State
taxes in order to overcome the disad-
vantages under which the cities Of the
State are now placed because Of the
heavy drain upon them to support the
government in the counties, was in
formally discussed and the proposition
referred to the Legislative committee
of the Chamber which has been in cor
respondence with other chambers OF
commerce in the State looking to the
holding of a conference to revise the
taxation laws.
Under the Moore plan. which gives
the cities and counties the entire
amount Of State taxes on rear estate
and personal property and reserves for
the Commonwealth the entire taxes on
public service corporations, rolling
stock, bank stock and the capitation
taxes, Alexandria city will receive ad-
diiional revenue to the extent of $12,-
Soi.@. Alexandria county will lose
S4.679.0S.
The Alexandria chamber will send a
committee TO Richmond to attend a
meeting which will be called shortly to
consider the Moore plan in detail.
At last nights meeting the question
of the location here of the proposed
armor plant to be established by the
Government, was considered, and plans
for an active campaign to obtain the
location Of Nthe plant was made. Data
are to be prepared giving the cost OF all
raw materials laid down in Alexandria
available sites, labor supply, house
rent schools. and other factors which
will decide the location of the plant.
1t was announced that the new direct
mail service between Alexandria and
lower river points went into effect yes
terday, and was very satisfactory to the
merchants of this city.

the throes of spring cleaning in a
house of over 1000 rooms! 1t sounds
impossible, but something very like
1t is done in all the great railroad
yards of the country. In fact, house
of 1900 rooms could be little mat
ter for the men in charge of cleaning
railroad cars
In the immense yard at Sunnyside,
l.. l., over 1000 cars are cleaned
every month-more than $50 day
and only the cars on long distance
trains and dining cars are handled
here.
When the Sunnyside cleaners begin,
first the carpets are removed. The
housewife takes up hers once or twice
year, but four days is the outside
limit in a car. They are taken to a
platform constructed for the purpose
and every particle of dust removed by
the suction of vacuum process. In
the meantime, what has happened to
the car? Here compressed air has
been at work. The blowers, as the
men are called, have turned a purify
ing, all pervading steam from their
hoses into every nook and Granny. The
seats are gone over and the dust swirl
ed out Of the window, giving the I'M
preston that the car is afire. When
the nozzle Is turned on the window
itself myriads of particles of dust and
cinders take flight from their hiding
places around the sash.
Next comes a man with a mop. The
floors of the steel cars are made Of
mixture Of cement and ground cork,
and are much easier to clean than
wood. After they have been scrub
bed thoroughly, women with cloths go
over the steel framework, polishing 1t
to the shining point Finally, after
the carpets are laid, there is another
careful busting with cloths and the
car is ready for another trip.
So much for the interior, but do you
think because the outside of the cars
are usually glossy red that they
would stay that way without care?
Cars coming from the south are COW
cred with fine white dust that is
very difficult to remove. After a
rain the dirt sticks on the smooth
steel like a coat of paint.
Housework on dining car is even
more elaborate. There are the sill,
yer and kitchen utensils to polish,
soiled linen to be changed for clean
and cupboards to be washed When
this is done the car is stocked, and
then, though it has been subjected to
the process already described, every
thing is rubbed off with cloths again
before it goes out. The men who dc
the work may not look as neat as the
housewife in cap and apron, but let
her put her finger where she will
when they have finished, she will find
no dirt

Oscillatino SjunaI.

An oscillating railway signal to act
as a warning to pedestrians or We
hicle riders at highway crossings is
used by the Pacific Electric railway
of Los Angeles, and is built in the
company's shops. AS described in
the Railway Age Gazette, a hollow
disk is attached to the stem of fork
ed rod, the arms Of which are pivoted
to box mounted on top of post and
extend below the pivot to carry coun-
ter-weights. The disk Is lettered
Stop; Look Out" and has at the CEN
ter pair of four-inch red glasses with
an electric light between them, show
ing red in both directions. On the
top of the box there is a twelve-inch
gong. AS car or train approaches
the gong is set ringing and the disk
oscillates at the rate of thirty times
per minute.

LEAD ALL IN ENGINEERING
Work Of American Railroad Builders
Revelation to Visiting Experts
From Abroad.

One Of the things that astounded
the foreign party Of the Geographical
society that recently made a tour of
the United States. stopping at such
places as Crater Lake. Tahoe Lake
and other western curiosities, was the
wonderful railroad engineering
through the passes of the Rockies
and the Canadian Selkirks Another
revelation was the fact that most OF
this difficult engineering and construc-
ton work was done by American en-
gineers and that American engineers
were among the foremost In railroad
construction in Mexico and South
America. The wonderful Trans.
Andes road which will make Peru 20
days nearer to New York and which
will connect the Montana Of Peru and
Brazil is largely the work of Amer.
lean engineers and we have examples
OF railroad construction In North
America, absolutely unique and calcu.
lated to make Europe sit up and
take notice"
For instance a wonderful piece of
reconstruction work. just finished on
one of our great transcontinental
lines, has been the building of a con.
crete snowshed-the first ever con-
structed-over a stretch of the road
where few years ago there were ter
rible snowslides Most of the large
railroads reaching to the Pacific coast
have snowsheds at some point In
their length, for in places in the great
mountain ranges which they cross the
snow melts rapidly and comes down
with terrific force. sweeping all before
1t, but this is the only road to adopt
concrete for snowshed. Concrete
has done we'll for bridges and cul-
verts, so the engineers advocated its
use here as an experiment. 1t pos.
sesses several advantages over wood
as 1t can be riveted firmly to the
mountain side Another excellent fea.
ture is that the side away from the
mountain can be left open in summer,
thus securing daylight, fresh air and
scenery.
