AlcOlu, June 2.-This section is
still without rain, although nearby
sections report seasOnabe rains with
in the past few days. While this i'm
mediate section has not had Il good
rain within the last four weeks, crops
Of every kind are looking we'll, and
with the exception Of somewhat
poor stand of tobacco and what dam
age has been done TO gardens, the
farmers have not suffered any so far
on account of the lack of rain. The
farmers have continued to work their
crops, which accounts, no doubt, to a
great degree for the way they have
stood the dry weather. Cotton espe-
cially is looking well, and if the sea-
son continues good, bumper crop
will be made.
The beautiful church building that

SIMULTANEOUSLY with the an
nouncement of the completion of
~ extensive stretches of block signal
installation on various parts of its
system, made recently by the manage
ment Of the Chicago and North Western
Railway, comes the publication OF COM
.wchensive plans on the part of the rail-
road company for the completion next
year Of block signal installation on the
entire mileage of through line between
Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis,
which includes not only the older line
through Madison, Wis, but also the new
route to the Twin Cities via Milwaukee,
on the recently completed cutoff running
northwestward from the Wisconsin city
through Clyman and Wycville.
This is the route followed by the
North Coast Limited between Chicago,
Milwaukee and the Pacific North Coast
The most recently completed portion
of The North Westerns block signalling
is that portion of the new cutoff between
Butler and North Lake, Wis, a distance
of thirty miles out of Milwaukee. This
portion finishes the protection of track
by automatic electric block signals on
the new Wycvile line from Milwaukee,
as far as Clyman Junction, Wis, where
the Jancsville-Fond du Lac line crosses
the new cutoff, n distance out of Mil
Waukee of ffty-two miles.
This is only small part of the extensive
block signal installation completed by
! the Chicago and North Western Ry this
year, summarized in today's announce
ment. The track between Harvard, ILL.,,
and Evansville, Wis, by way Of James
vile, distance of 5S.l miles, has been
signallcd during the past summer with
automatic block signals Signalling on
the single track, which exists through
most of this territory, is Of the latest
type, which gives the best protection
now known to signal engineers of the
world against head-on collisions, as we'll
as affording the best protection known
to modern railroading against rear-end
collisions. At the same time, through
allowing the operation of a greater
number of trains with perfect safety than
is possible where no automatic electric
protection is provided, the capacity of
the railroad is materially increased
The North Western Lines installation
Of the modern system between Harvard
and Evansville, it is announced, was the
first case Of this type of block signalling
being put into operation in the United
States. Already, say officials of the
Railroad, the system has proved itself so

ELECTRICITY NOT BURNED

Electricity is brought into the house

eyes, but how does it get on the wire,
what keeps it on and where does it go to-"
The usual but incorrect reply is that
it is used up as light in the lamps, as heat
in the disc stove and as power in the
motor of the vacuum cleaner.
This common error should be corrected
at once. Electricity is not. used up in
the electric lamp, it is not burned up in
the electric stove. it is not consumed by
the electric motor.
1t is only the energy Of electric current
which is utilized, just the same as it is
only the energy of falling water which is
utilized from water power. Just as
much water flows out of the tail race OF a
water power as enters the head gates.
Not single drop of water is consumed.
Only the pressure, or energy OF the falling
water is changed into mechanical power
by the water wheel.
And this is equally true of the electric
current. Just as much electricity flows
out of the house, via the return wire, as
enters it. Only the energy of this electric
current is utilized. 1t is changed into
heat, power and light through the medium
Of electric heaters, electric motors and
electric lamps.
The electricity enters the house at a
pressure OF about 10 to 12O volts. 1t
flows easily, and without serious resis-
tance, along the copper wires. These
wires, known as the Circuit or path,
are protected with insulation. This in
sulation consists OF rubber, special gums.

each wire is suspended from porcelain
blocks as further precaution.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Road laws which have been on the
statute books OF various states for more
than one hundred years probably will be
repealed as a result OF the movement
which has been inaugurated by the
American Highway association in con-
junction with the American Bar asso-
citation.
The committees appointed by the two
associations have had prepared, through
the cooperation of the United States
office OF public roads a complete, literal
compilation of the road laws of all the
states, as we'll as the laws relating to in
debtedness, the, use of convict labor, and
various other subjects which have
bearing upon the management Of tn
An index chart for these various laws
is now being prepared, and as soon as it.
is completed the committees will de-
termine upon the lines along which re-
vision will be sought. The governors
OF the various states then will be asked to
recommend to the legislatures as they
| meet, the appointment of special COM
mittees to confer with the committees of
the American Highway association and
the American Bar association with
view to adequate revision of existing
road laws, and bring them up to date.
The first step in the revision of the
state road laws will be to recommend
that all obsolete, useless or unnecessary
; road laws be repealed. The next step
will be to simplify and arrange in logical
order the existing necessary road laws.
The committee has found that in some of
the states an accumulation OF road laws
running back over one hundred years
exists, thus creating almost hopeless con-
fusion. Certain basic features of good
administration will be urged by the joint
committees, such as the payment of road
taxes in cash;the elimination of null
titude of unnecessary road officials now
characteristic Of many of the states; the
requirement of skilled supervision in the
actual construction and maintenance of
roads by providing qualification tests;
the constant employment of highway
engineers or superintendent; the adop-
ton of the appointive rather than the
elective method for such officials; the
substitution of continuous maintenance
for the present intermittent method; the
proper utilization OF convict labor where
climatic and other conditions warrant
its use on the public roads for the pre-
paration of road materials; the general
adoption of the principle of state aid and
| supervision; the proper safeguarding
and accounting Of road funds.
Wherever practicable, uniformity
among the road laws of the various states
will be urged by the committee as it is
realized that the traffic is now controlled
by economic conditions rather than by
state lines, and should not be hampered
BY conflicting laws OF the various com
munities in the United States.
4 report will be made by the joint com
mittees at the fourth American road con
gress, which will be held at Atlanta, Ga

used. These electric wires are designed
to carry only certain amount of cleo
tricity. To prevent heavy flow of the
current over the small house wires each
line is protected with a little device called
a fuse. A fuse is nothing more or less
than a bit of lead wire inserted in the line,
This bit OF lead is designed to carry just
so much current, usually about six
amperes at 10 volts. Any attempt to
draw more than this over the line will
melt the lead wire and thus automati-
cally open the circuit.

Another portion Of The North Western
Line protected this year is that between
Madison and Baraboo, Wis, q distance

new double track freight belt line, which
was recently completed and put into

This work means not only
a very large first cost to the
railroad company, but also
a considerable increase in
the. annual operating ex4
penscs for the purpose Of
maintaining and operating
the system. 1t is along the
line, however, in the words
of officials of the road, of the
North Western Lines de-
termination to extend over
its system the best signal
protection possible.
But three short stretches
remain to be completed with
signals to give The North
Western Line complete auto
matte protection between
Chicago and St. Paul and
Minneapolis via both routes.
Plans have been drawn up
for this work next year and
the construction forces will
be set to work as soon as
the opening Of spring makes
the work possible. The
North Western Line now is
the only line equipped with
automatic electric block sig
nails between Chicago and
