The "Narrow-Gauge" Fallaoy.

From the Engineering News.
Available statistics show that there il
in the entire world nearly 10000 miles
of narrow-gauge railway lines The great
bulk OF this mileage must eventually bo
converted to standard gauge. as the mar
row-gauge railway lines of the United
States have been. The cost OF this alter
alton, enormous IT is, is but q small
fraction of the financial loss which the
world has suffered. through its belief In
this economic and engineering fallacy. a
comparison of the freight rates per ton
mile on United States railways and on
the narrow-gauge systems Of other eoun-
tries is most instructive showing the
inefficiency of the narrow-gauge system
as a transportation machine.
If fair estimate were made OF the. cost
TO the world resulting from the narrow
gauge fallacy. the total would probaoiy
reach several billions of dollars. The COST
in japan alone of changing 5000 miles OF
narrow gauge railway to standard gauge
| is estimated at Sij0.O0o.o00. In Argentina
| the net earnings of the narrow-gauge
| RAILWAYS are only about half as much on
| the capital invested as the net earnings
| of the standard gauge lines. and tnis not
! v.ithstanding the fact that the captansa-
ton per mile of the standard-gauge INES
| is much heavier.

That the church is the best thing

Representative Dick L. Morgan of Okla

terrain Church last night OH the topic,
What is the Best Thing in Washing
TOM"
Prefacing his address with the declara-
ton that Washington is one of the most
beautiful, attractive and interesting cities
of the world, Representative Morgan
sketched a brief word picture of the cap
itaPs parks, buildings. broad streets and
avenues, and environs.

newspapers and other periodicals. public
schools. colleges and universities. and
many other societies and organizations
which are a credit to the city. Washing
ton could ill afford to do without any o.
these institutions. But none Of these are
the Best Things in Washington.
'The church is the best thing in Wash
ington," he said. "Of all its institutions
Washington can least afford to lose its
churches The National Capital from
business standpoint is the life of Wash
ington. Nevertheless, Washington could
better afford to close the doors of the
White House, the Capitol and department
buildings and see the seat of government
moved to the west than to close the
doors of its churches forever

NO SPECIAL COURSE IN VIEW.
School Children to Follow European
Events in Usual Way.

While the school children of Washing
ton in their classroom work will follow
the trend of events in Europe, no special
course of instructions will be followed
; such as has been outlined by the officials
of the New York schools. where news
papers will be made a part of the text
book system. Superintendent Thurston
this morning declared that for a number
of years school children of this city had
been encouraged to take AN interest in
current events. and were encouraged to
read the newspapers. On certain days
each child is required to bring a clipping
of some important current event and be
able to discuss it.
However. no additional instructions will
be issued this year, it is declared. on &C
count of the war. The matter of keeping
the war before the pupils, he said, would
be left to the judgment of the teacher.
