Not counting feather beds. we hun
dred million Americans pillow our
heads on about 3OO.O0O.OOO pounds of
feathers every night These feathers
wear out at the rate Of about 2O,00O.-
900 pounds per year and that much

year. Now. we ought to gather that
quickly from the millions of f owls eat
en- in this country, but no, we Ameri-
cans are such frenzied feather fnan-
ciers that we throw millions Of pounds
of feathers on the dump and go and
import vast quantities from foreign
countries Better call the fool killer.

The railway commission of Califor- mia took decisive action recently on it's long-projected scheme to compel every interurban electric road in the State to institute the block system in the in- terest of public safety. The Pacific Electric Railway Co.,, which operates about nine hundred and fifty miles of rapid-transit lines in Southern Califor- nit, was called upon to furnish the necessary data for the equipment of it's entire system. A few of it's lines now operate under the block system, but it is calculated that a perfect com pliance with the commissions desires in the premises will entail an expend- iture of about one million two hundred thousand dollars.
