HELPS EMPLOYEES TO HOMES
Eastern Railroad, as a Matter of Busl-
ness Policy, Has Put System
in Operation.

A large Eastern railroad, appreciat-
ing the value OF satisfied and perma-
nent employees and realizing that an
employe with tangible interest in his
locality is most likely to have these
qualities, has made it possible for its
workers to obtain homes without i'm
mediate capital outlay. The employee
who wants his own home selects what
ever type of house he prefers, and if
the employers committee on investi-
cation finds that the house is suitable
and reasonably priced, money is ad-
vanced for the purchase, to be repaid
In monthly installments. The benefits
of this plan to the employe who finds
it next to impossible to save out of his
income the necessary sum to make a
first payment on a home, but can pay
back It's purchase price as he would
rent are obvious, as is the improve
ment Of this method of home-making
over the plan practiced by some indus
trial concerns of selling homes COM
pany-built and of uniform type. The
company in starting this innovation
is not animated by any motives of phi
laAthropt 1t is cold business. Salts.
fled employees are necessary to bust
ness success, and it has set about
making them satisfied.

Never again." was the conclusion
of story told by young bridegroom
of the month, after he related hissef-

her every wish.
Sitting in his office a few days after
the wedding he received a telephone
call which was something like this:
"Dearie, I do so hate to trouble you,

He hung up the receiver and mopped
his brow. He walked by the store
twice, finally entered and approached
the lace counter. She was pretty, but
he had been married only week and
was busy repeating in his mind:
-Four leaves. then a sprig."

Fifty Years With One Road

Past official trip on his train, the

C New York railroad. In all that time

He is now past seventy.
Birley nearly broke down when

Whims of Locomotives.

Railroad engines are peculiar
things" said an engineer the other
day, land every one has her whims. A
dozen engines built to the same pattern
will develop quite as many personal
traits as an equal number of members
of family. No two engines have yet
been known to behave alike. One will
be very bad hill-climber, and fly like
the wind on the level, while another
will only keep to speed for a short dis
lance, owing to her being unable to
maintain her steam pressure, Again,
an engine rarely runs two days alike,
as engineer and firemen know too we'll.
A method Of firing that will suit an
engine one day may be worthless the
next.
THE engineer, when in the cab, has
to keep keen eye on the machinery
for there are bolts and pins which are
liable to slip or snap"

Electric Railroad in the TyroI.

The electric railroad known as Me-
bertscher Balm is short line of recent
construction in South Tyrol, and it
serves to connect the southern rail-
road station of Bozen, by way of Kali
tern and st. Anthony, with the Mendel-
pass mountain incline, which starts at
this latter place. OF ten miles length
with standard gauge track, the line is
operated entirely by adhesion, even
though the maximum gradient is 6.2
per 100. A sub-station at Eppan, sup
piled by a power line, serves to fur
nish 1,20O-volt continuous current for
the electric road. Passenger sind
freight trains are drawn by motor cars
carrying two electric motors of 100
horsepower each. - Scientific Amer

OLD GIRL "GOT EVEN"

of Workers on Their Way
to the Polls.

'If there's anything that a good,

gineer in a reminiscent mood, "and |
know it because of my experience
with old 326 some years ago. We had
had trivial accident-caboose jumped
the track; little harm done-but the
master mechanic got ugly about it and

Sure enough, the next day the 1926

enough to get US down the branch an

her along and keep her in a mood fast

FINALLY election day came, and we
went down the branch as usual. Our
train left early, long before time for

mornin' an she went about her work
all day with the steam singin' from
her safety valve.

GAIN WAY TO PAROLE.
PRISON BOARD MUST HEAR NINA
MARA'S FREEDOM PLEA.
Abe Ruef Held to Be Confined in Cali
fornia Prison UnjustIy While Aids
Are Unpublished.

San Francisco, April 13.-Under a
decision given by the state supreme
court Abe Ruef, former political boss,
who is serving IA years in the peni-
Tertiary at San Quentin for accepting
brides, became eligible for immediate
parole. Although making it manda-
tory that his application be consid-
cred by the state board of prison di-
rectors, the decision did not direct
them to grant his plea.
The courts construction of the
statute also made eligible John j. Nc
Namara, former secretary of the In.
ternational Iron Workers, convicted
mite the plant of the Llewellyn Iron
works. His brother. James 3. Nc
Namara, who wrecked the Los An
geles Times building, with loss of
Fl lives, was sentenced to San Quentin
for life and is not eligible for parole.
After the law establishing paroles
went into effect the board of prison
directors ruled that no application
would be considered by it until the
applicant had served at least half his
term. The court held, however, that
this regulation was in violation of the
statute; that any prisoner becomes
eligible to apply for parole after he
had served one year. Ruef has served
little more than three years.
A persistent campaign in behalf Of
Ruof has heon wapod nv Fremont
Older, managing editor of the San
Francisco Bulletin, among those who
exposed Ruef and pressed his prose-
cution.
Although only one of many indict-
ed in the San Francisco graft cases,
Ruef alone was convicted. 1t has been
argued since that to keep him in jail
while associates were free was injus-
tice.

READY FOR FIGHT
ON REPEAL BILL
Many to Appear Before Senate
Body This Week.
MAY AMEND SIMS MEASURE
Representatives of Pacific Coast, New
Orleans and Inland Organizations
Summoned by Committee to
Discuss Panama Controversy.

Washington, April 13.-The heaviest
artillery opponents of repeal of Pana-
ma toll exemption for American ships
can bring will be trained against the
administration fat repeal policy be-
fore the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals this week.
Every possible argument that can
be raised will be brought forward in
the hope of prevailing on the commit
tee to make an adverse report on the
bill as it passed the house, and, fail
ing in that, to lay a foundation for
continuing the fight in the senate it.
self.
Fight Over Sims Bill.
Whatever may be the report of the
canals committeeman there is a pos
sibility that several proposed meas
ures may be reported without recon-
administration and oppo-
sition leaders conceded that the first
fight will be over an effort to amend
the Sims bill, which passed the house.
Champions of the presidents position
insist that there will be no compro-
mise. They adhere to their confident
predictions that toll exemption for
American coastwise ships will be re-
pealed.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
interoceanic canals committee and
leader of Democratic opposition to the
repeal, plans to make forceful argu-
ment before the committee this week
against the administration position,
on the ground that this government
now is negotiating in it's proposed
treaty with Colombia clause where
by COlombia's vessels of war may have
access to the canal free Of tolls. The
clause is identical with one in a pre-
viously negotiated but never enforced
treaty with Colombia, which Great
Britain approved
Right Was Conceded.
The argument will be made that if
Great Britain conceded the right of
the United States to exempt Colon
bias war vessels, it is inconsistent for
Great Britain to maintain now that the
United States may not exempt Ameri-
can cOastwise shipping.
Among men summoned before the
canals committee this week to discuss
the tolls controversy are Joseph H.
Choate, former ambassador to Great
Britain; Henry White, former charge
of the American embassy in London
and later ambassador to France; DR..
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the University of California; Fred
erick w. Lehman of st. Louis, former
solicitor general of the United States:
Oscar S. Straus, once ambassador to
Turkey and former secretary of com
merce and labor; George L. Record of
New Jersey, who was member of the
platform committee of the Progressive
party at the Chicago convention in
1912; William Reeda and H. G. Herget
of Chicago. On the list to be heard,
besides several senators, are repre-
sentatives of many Pacific coast, New
Orleans and inland commercial organ
izations.
