MARVEL IN TRANSPORT
GERMAN RAILROADS MADE REC.
ORD AT WARS BEGINNING,
Movement of the Troops to the From
tier of France Was Remarkable
AchieVenent-Arny Officers
Given the Credit.

The German belief in rules and red
tape is well known. This feature of
so-called "thoroughness" reaches it's
climax on the German railroads. ac-
cording to a writer in the Railroad
Mans Magazine. There is a rule" "
he says, for every possible combina-
ton OF circumstances. Each class of
employees has its own bulky book of
rules"
treasury and accounting rules fill
II volumes totaling 1900 pages; rules
for the operating and maintenance of
way departments combined fill two
volumes of 1,141 pages.
Besides these there are signal rules,
traffic rules, regulations regarding roll

ing 100000 soldiers to the French
frontier in 10 days at the beginning of
the present war, the German railroads
performed one of the most remarkable
feats in the history of railroading.
This feat a writer says, REQUIRED
$4,000 military trains, allowing only
seyenty-seven men to train; but
then, it must be remembered that an
army requires an enormous amount of
baggage and equipment, including
food, cooking utensils, forage, ammu-
milton, tents, extra clothing, officers
baggage, artillery transport, wagons
and motor trucks for distributing sup
plies from the nearest railroad station
horses for the wagons and for the cav.
airy, field telegraph, wireless stations,
automobile searchlights, aeroplanes
and other paraphernalia"
One of the reasons that it was pos
sible for the railroad men to perform
the work was that the army officials
took complete charge of the railroads
on the outbreak of war Everything
gave way to the needs of transporting
troops, and red tape was forgotten.

First Ascent of the Mattsrhorn.

The first ascent of the Matterhorp
in Switzerland took place on July IA,
fifty years ago, and plans have been
made for celebrating the event next
year by the erection of a statue to
the memory of the leader of the ex-
petition Edward Whymper, who was
the leader of the party. This feat was
attended by one of the worst accl-
dents in the history of Alpine climb
ing. The top had been reached and
the descent had just commenced when
one member of the party slipped and
dragged three OF his companions witn
him, falling a distance of 1000 feet.

saved only by the breaking of the

CAR VENTILATION A PROBLEM
Nc Really Satisfactory System Has
Yet Been Devised, IL Is
Asserted

The state board Of health is endeay-
oring' to impress upon, the people the
Importance of fresh air, pure food
and ventilation of steam and trolley
cars Just how the latter is to be ac-
complished is not explained and the
board frankly admits that no satisfac-
tory system has yet been devised for
ventilation of cars, but thinks that
more extensive use of the ventilators
would produce good results.
There does not appear to be any
reason why ventilators cannot be used
to remove foul air from a car and the
same system operated in, perhaps, a
little different way would permit of
a more thorough and satisfactory ven
tilation, the New Britain Conn Her
aid observes. A smoking car on a.
steam train is an abomination for all
except those who smoke. The car is
often filed with smoke so as to pre-
vent view from one end to the 9th
er. The air is suffocating and with the
smoke added the place becomes a.
most distressing one for ordinary peo-
pie
AS there is nothing to prevent es-
tablishing the conditions desired by
the state board of health except a
system of ventilation, it would seem
as if the inventive genius of Connecti-
cut would quickly respond to the de-
mands of the hour. Ventilation has
| been provided in all kinds of build
ings, and it would appear as if it
is only step from that to ventilating
railroad car, especially as health
requires it.

WesttieId Has
Fine Celebration

Westfield was the gathering point
of people from all over the county
and from Campbell county, as we'll.
on Monday. July 5th. Westfield
people had advertised an old.time
celebration and they delivered every.
thing they advertised. too.
In the forenoon the usual exer-
cises we're held in a mammoth bow
cry erected for the occasion. After
dinner the Pollock and Strasburg
ball clubs met on diamond which
had been made ready for them. 1t
proved to be a Embarrassing contest
and was a great relief to many of
those who had watched the games
at the Hazelton tournament. The
score ended one to nothing in favor
OF the South Dakota boys, but the
fight was hard one and both sides
threatened repeatedly to score. One
of the largest crowds seen at any
ball game in the county saw that
contest.
After the ball game there were
the usual foot and horse races,
climbing of the CREASED pole, catch
ing the creased pig and the likes.
One contestant created considerable
mIrth when he suddenly reached in
his pocket when about half way up
the creased pole and drew forth a
handful Of sand which he smeared
over the pole to make the climbing
easier.
The Westfield and Pollock bands
were on the grounds all day ard fur
nlshed musical selections from time
to time. Towards evening there
was a fireworks display and dancing
in a bowery about half mile from
the grounds.
Every provision was made for the
comfort of the guests. Practically
any want could be satisfied in the
way Of soft drinks. fruits, candies
and sandwiches. One thing which
caused much favorable comment
was the spirit of friendliness dis
played by all those present. There
was no signs of intoxicated roister-
ers and everything moved along
very smoothly. President Jelleman,
of the celebration committee, and
his corps of capable assistants, de-
serve much credit for preparing and
running such an excellent entertain
mept. 1t is is all the more note
worthy when one remembers that
they did it all in about two weeks.
Westtield is situated in the midst
of the most beautiful farming Sec
tion in the county. Nearly every
farm has a nice grove of trees and
