HISTORY BUILDERS.
Early Advocates of Transcontinental
Railroads.
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.
By DIR. f. J. EDWARDS.


By DIR. f. J. EDWARDS.
The late James G. Layng's career as
a railroad man was contemporaneous
with the great development of railroad
construction of the United States, for it
began in 1919 and was ended by his re-
tirement in 1900. Mr.. Laying was one Of
the surveyors who were sent out by the
Pennsylvania Railroad in 1919 to survey
route for the first railroad running
westerly from Pittsburgh. He was later
in life prominently associated with the
Chicago and Northwestern, with the Big
Four and was the chief executive off,
Ger OF the West Shore Company.
Occasionally when Mr.. Laying had lei
sure he narrated to me many interesting
anecdotes associated with the develop
ment of American railroads. j recall one
conversation with him in which he spoke
with admira ton, even with enthusiasm.
of the men whom he said were really the
first to advocate not vaguely. but with
practicable suggestions. the construction
of railroads through to the Pacific Coast

Helen stopped short, as her glance
fell on an awkwardly tall girl, in Z
struggling plumed hat. standing BY
the kitchen window. With cold nod
she acknowledged the girls sheepish

nervously conscious of He1en's dis
approval.
With heightened color and COM
pressed lips, Helen swung back
through the pantry door. This was
the third time within a week that she
had found Annals sister in the
kitchen. Even tonight when they were
having guests-she must be upset and
irritated by bis girl!
+ As she dressed, she grew more pro.
voked. She would not put up with 1t!
She was much too lenient; that was
why she was imposed upon. She had
given Anna a vacation and paid her
half wages the whole month they
were in Canada, and now they were
having to feed this sister.
Thoroughly incensed. Helen started
back to the kitchen. She would have
it out with Anna right now. She
would tell her pointblauk that she
could not have her sister when she
was preparing a company dinner.
But. as though to fcrestall any OBJ
jections, the girl, with her hat on,
was now grating the hard-boiled egg
for the anchovy relish.
Thwarted, Helen turned back. The
fact that she could say nothing only
added 70 her irritation. She did not
want this girl in the kitchen. She
only confused Anna, and distracted
her from her work.
When the front door banged, Helen
ran out into the hall.
Anything wrong?" was Warren's
brisk greeting, as he peeled OF his
coat.

il makes me Wild" following him as
he hurried into his room to dress.

"Well. for heavens sake. don't get

some row on when we have people to
dinner. Get me out shirt. Will

The next half hour only added to
Helen's irritation. Every time she
went into the kitchen she was so ex-
asperated by the presence Of Annals
sister that she could hardly give her
orders. Once she caught their muir
INJURED voices, and knew they were
talking about her.
When she was dressed, the mirror
that reflected her graceful slenderness
reflected also an unbecoming frown.
She tried to smooth it away; she
must not let the Stevenses see that
she was upset. -,

Helen hastily powdered her bare
neck and arms. Another ring. Why
did not Anna go to the door? A long
moment, then she heard Warren's
step in the hall and his hearty:

what delights the ladies with Wyeth's

FACE COVERED
WITH SMALL P|MPLES
ltched Badly. Dis6gured for Time
Being. Used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Made Complexion
Clearer. Face Entirely Healed.

New Cambria, Mo.-"The first thing I
began to notice somo cruptions on my face.
They were small pimplcs forming. They
would itch so badly that 1 could hardly
keep from picking at them. When I die it
seemed as if they kept spreading. I was
dkdgured for the time being: my faco was
totally covered with the pimplcs. They
were so bad I hated to have a person SEQ
my face. 1t was in this condition q year OF
over.
Tread in the paper of how good Cuticura
Soap and Ointment were and I resolved to
try them. After I used them several times
they seemed to heal the places and make my
complexion clearer. I spread the Ointment
on my face and let it remain for about five
minutes and then washed 1t of with very
hot water and Cuticura Soap. My face was
entirely healed" (Signed) Miss Flossie
Hepworth. June 80. 1914.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much
for poor compilations. red. rough hands, and
dry. thin and falling hair. and cost SO little,
that it is almost criminal not to use them.
