the whole adventure.
Now, meanwhile, In fact the day after
Baird and Hunt sailed for South Africa,
Storm and Zudora entered jewelers. shop
and found Nine. Du Val making some pur-
chases.
Take ride with me-" she invited
Storm shook his head decidedly, but today
Zudora was bit willful. She considered
herself match for any one woman, and
perhaps she was.
81 shall be delighted to go" replied zu-
dora.
Storm accompanied them to the auto,
bowed curtly, and took himself off And i'm
mediately Zudora regretted her impulse. But
she was too plucky to admit this fact to
Nine Du Val. Later she remembered Hunts
explicit warning to stay at home. Madam
Du Val declared that she was first bound
to the customs office, as she had been nctl-
hed of the receipt Of package Of Italian
laces. After this duty was over they would
ride ont to the Bronx. At the customs office
she merely called up three men she could
trust to meet her at certain spot. Zudora
was with her and they would know what
to do
There had been a series of automobile
hodups about this time; so when the three
men sprang out from ap alleyway and over
powered the chauffeur, Zudora was quite in
nocent so far as suspecting the truth. Mme
Du Val struggled vallantly, but she, too
was bound aud gagged. The men started
the car at once and headed for one of the
nondescrlpt docks along the water front
Here the two women were commanded on
the pain of death, to alight from the auto

GOOD INDUSTRIAL NEWS

The Pennsylvania Railroads definite announce
ment last night that it will spend at once $4,000.
600 for new equipment is the hest news of the wear
thus far for the industries of the nation It means
that large amount of work will be provided di
rectly for many industrial establishments thus in
surfing work for thousands of men who long have
been idle. Moreover the announcement indicates
the belief of the officials of this great corporation
that the long delayed period of marked business
revival is at last at hand The psychological effect
of this attitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
|pany is bound to be renewal of confidence in in
dustrial and financial circles generally In brief it
|is reasonable to assume that the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road has ''set the ball rolling for renewed bus
ness activity
There has, of course been much Improvement in
industrial activities in some of the big plants of
this country in recent months, but this improve
ment has been based largely ON the demand for war
supplies from abroad and must therefore be re-
garded but temporary in itself The war will
end and the demand for war supplies will then stop
and along with it will the industrial activity
dependent upon that demand
But the industrial activity that bids fair to be

MIR. TAYLoR's ExTRAvAGANT PLAN

Whle City Commissioner NJ Harvey Taylor de-
clnes to say whether he still has in mind his plan
to pay almost $1,000 for about three acres
at Emerald and Fifth streets for the mueh-needed
playground for the rapidly growing northern Sec
on of the city, there is of course the possibility
OF the project being revived by him at the meeting
of the City Commissioners next Tuesday or at some
other meeting at an early date 1t is well. there.
fore, for the other Commissioners to be prepared
to defeat such an extravagant proposal for the ex
penditure of the Citys funds
Whether or not it is practical, as has been sug-
gested to establish the Fairgrounds on land already
owned by the City in spacious Wildwood Park,
there can be little doubt that a satisfactory plot
can be purchased somewhere uptown on far more
busnesslike basis than that proposed by Mr. Taylor
As has heretofore been stated another of the Com.
mlssloners has declared that it is possible for the
City TO purchase plot that will serve Just as we'll
Tor which the City need pay less than $4,000 an
acre This suggestion is we'll worth further investi-
CATION by the City Commissioners. along with anv
other plans that may be forthcoming from other
sources.
That section of the city for which the playground
IS desired is far from being fully developed and
there may be other real estate holders who would
be willing to offer satisfactory plots at figures far
below the extravagant price Mr.. Taylor would pav
for the plot at Emerald and Fifth Streets. At apv
rate 1t would be far more businesslike way to 90
about the thing if the City Commissioners were to
invite proposals from land holders in the territory
affected, thus placing the plan to buy on COM
netitlye basis, A good deal of money admittedly
has been saved by the City in purchasing supplies
OF one sort or another on the competitive bidding
plan which gives everybody chance to self. and
there Is no good reason that we know of whv the
City should not take advantage of competition in
making the purchase of the playground plot.

day. The~other 80 ears are to be Of.
fered on the open market and bids are
to be asked to-day. Tho 146 new pas.
senger ears are divided in kind as fol.
lows; Fifty standard coaches, S4 com.
bination cars, AZ baggage and mail
ears. 10 baggage and express cars and
. horse express ears.
Freight Cars to Be Of Steel
Almost half of the 100000 freight
ears to be built will be made of steel.
The order includes 2,000 steel box
cars, $500 gondola cars, 4,919 coal
and coke ears, 224 refrigerator ears
and 1872 fat ears.
The company intends to build 1000
of the steel box cars, 1000 of. the
gondola ears and all of the refrigerator
and fiat cars in its Juniata shops. This
leaves I,419 ears which the company
will have built by outside companies
and 2,S26 in its own shops. Inquiries
for both materials and construction are
to be made to-day.
The entire construction order for the
Altoona shops is 144 locomotives, Sc
steel passenger ears, 1000 steel box
ears, 1000 gondola ears. 224 refriger-
ator ears and 102 fiat ears. Materials
for these will make big orders for vari.
ous iron and steel companies.
Outside construction orders total 90
steel passenger cars, 1000 STEEL box
ears, 1900 gondola ears and 1919
coal and coke cars.
Means Work for Many Men
The. Pennsylvania statement draws
attention to the fact that this is prac.
tically the first equipment buying of
any magnitude by their company for
more than a year. The only equipment
orders placed with outside companies
in 1914 were for so locomotives with
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and
for 1000 freight cars with the Cam
bria Steel Company.
Since 1906, when the company an
nounced that all future additions and
requirements in its passenger equip
ment woukf be of all-steel construc-
tion, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has provided more than 5000
ali-steel passenger cars, not counting
the all-steel Pullman cars in service on
the system.
1t is likely the Juniata shops will
resume 55-hour full-time schedule
with the new orders. A year ago the
Pennsylvania dismissed 1900 work
men at the Altoona shops. Few of
them have been reemployed. The new
locomotives will be built in the Juni-
alta shops, the cars at the Altoona car
shops. The former plant has 1000 men
at work ON S6-hour schedule. The
ear shops have no definite schedule.
