OVER INCLINED PLANES
SOMETHING OF a NOVELTY An
THE HAULING OF TRAINS.
Eastern Line Has DseldSd to Rebuild
and inerease Capacity Of One At
Mahanoy, Pa-Few Are
In Uoe.

Inclined planes, over which trains
were hauled by cables, were o familiar
feature In the earlier railroads, but
they have been generally discontinued,
and are commonly looked upon as old
fashioned. This being the case, 1t is
an interesting fact that the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad, after a care:
full engineering investigation, has
chosen to rebuild it's plane at Mahanoy.
Pa, with increased capacity, rather
h a TO abandon it. In commenting
on this, Engineering News New York,
December 49,, which calls 1t "a re-
markable survival" notes that the old
planes were given VI, not so much be-
cause they were inefficient from an en-
cheering standpoint as because they
had been built on a small scale and
could not handle the increased volume
of traffic. The fact hat there is still
a place in railway operation where the
inclined plane a show an economic
advantage We the locomotive, the
writer thinks, is a fact we'll worth re,
cording. He writes:
I'VE recall only two instances in
Undergraduates work during the
past 20 years where the inclined plane
has been introGlcced One of these
Is the railway line, which was built a
number OF years ago under the au.
spices Of the British government, ex.
tending from the east coast of Africa
inland TO the central African lakes.
Across the curse of this railway
there runs a precipitous escarpment.
1000 ieet or more In height as we re-
call, the result probably of some an
cient geologic fault. The escarpment
extends so far north and south and is
so steep that 1t was found impractic.
able to make a detour around it or to
pursue a zigzag course up It's face, at
least in the original construction. An
inclined plane was, therefore, intro
duced to haul trains by cable up the
escarpment; and this, 30 far as we are
aware, Is still in use.
The other plane is of more recent
construction and Is located in the Gu
ban ore fields. Its use in connection
with ore traffic is much more similar
to the conditions existing at Mahanoy
thar is the case with the African line"
It would be interesting, the News
thinks, to inquire whether at other
places in the United States. an inclined
plane might be used instead OF the 10.

operating department the advantages
Of the locomotive are obvious. but
there are numerous ~offsettlng disad-
vantages which are perhaps not fully
realized. To quote the conclusion:

SOCIALISM MUST
 HAVE PERFECT MAN
Socialism Cannot Succeed Until Man Becomes Like
 Christ, Says Taft.

New Harmony, Ii1., June 8.-Rea- sons for the failure O. experiments in Socialism were discussed by William H. Taft today in an address delivered at the centennial celebration of the founding of New Harmony.
 The most notable experiment. at New Harmony, MT. Taft said, that of Robert Owen, failed. "as all Social ism must fail, because it found no substitute for the motive essential to arouse anad make constant human effort to that is furnished by the in stitution of private property and the shaping of reward by competition and natural economic adjustmepnt.
 Based on "Perfect Man."
 '"The p'an was based on the as- sumption that man was different being from what he is. If he were so pel1-,3. that his love of human kind would banish from everyone in huna form selfishness and retain in hiI the same energy, self-sacritice and in- dustry in behalf of others that he now manifests in behalf of himself and thoe near to him, then there would be no need for the organization of ( Socialistic community, because we would have it at hand. Until men are perfect beings of this kind, So- cialism must either constitute tyr amy so rigid as to destroy not only the right of liberty; apd to interfere with the pursuit of happiness, or 1t must be failure"

The enormous crop will be 137 100000 bushels more than ever was grown before in the United States in any one year. Excellent weather for the growing crop and an increase of GA per cent in the acre. age planted to wheat are responsible. There will also be a large yield of oat sand barley, probably secnd i'll cize in the history of the nation.

NEW OFFICERS
 HIGHWAY ASSN,
Southern Men Selected for Places on National Or
 ganization Board.

Washington, June g. 9.-Appointments of ambassadors by President Wilson have made necessary a special election by the directors of the American Highway association, which is the clearing house for the road movement in the United States, and have re- suited in the naming of two new direc- tors. When Walter H. Page was ap- pointed as ambassador to Great Brit ain, he wrote to the directors of the association, stating that owing to the fact that he would be out of the country, he would be dnable to con- tinue his duties as a director of the association. He desired to be reliev- ed of the actual work of aiding in the direction of the road movement until such time as he returned to the United States, although still deeply interested in the work of the association, being one of its founders.
 The appointment of MT. Page thus created vacancy which has just been filled by the election of Richard H. Edmonds, editor and owner of the Manufacturers Record. Mr. Edmonds has played large part in the devel> opment of the South and will add to the strong representation of that sec- tion on the board of the American Highway association.
 Owing to the recent death of Alfred Noble, regarded by many as the most renowned engineer of his time, an- other vacancy on the board was created, and was filled by the election of Gen. Clifford l.. Anderson, one of the most prominent lawyers in the
