Worlds Railroad Mileage {.

A worldwide reduction in railway
construction was experienced during
1913 as COMPARED with 1912, according
10 the annual railway statistics OF the
world compiled BY Archiv fur Essen
bahnwesen, the official publication OF
the Royal Prussian Department OF
Public Works The railway mileage
of the entire world for 1913 was 6S4,ol4
miles, an increase OF $4,000 miles for
the year, as compared with an increase
of Is. TO miles reported for l9l2. Ihe
gain in mileage was also less than that
for 1911 and even less than that for
1908. The increase in 1911 was lo,o'o
miles: in 1910, 1887; in 1909, IA, 10y,
and in 1908, 1852. How pre-emlnent-
ly the United States is the railway ma
ton OF the world is shown by the fact
that over 81 per cent of the entire
mileage falls within its borders, Inc
increase for the United States, as COM
piled by this publication, was 4,9'9
miles, or almost one. third of the entire
gain for the year; while out OF the en-
tire 5000 mile increase 500 miles

Asia, it will be noted, was the only
continent TO show larger increase in
1913 than in 1912.
The overwhelming leadership of the
United States as a ailway nation is
shown more clearly in comparison OF
individual countries, for after its 254,
769 miles Including 653 for Alaska,
Germany is second with only 39,5l3
miles, while European Russia is third
with 1858. Then follow in order,

den, 1884 and Japan, 6,Sll.
In relative growth, however, the
United States has not held its own, for
while the world mileage in five years
increased SO per cent, our railways in
creased II per cent. This, however,
exceeds Europe's growth OF only 40
per cent. The Americas, as a whole
increased 1919 per cent in mileage in
five years, while Asia increased only
.. 3 per cent. Africa takes the leader
ship here with growth Of 32.3 per
cent, the high spot being German
East Africa, with 209.3 per cent.
Australians mileage increased 1863 per

The Health Commissioner, OF New

cants for license to drive an automobile
to submit to physical and mental tests
for fitness. He says that driving an
automobile is not a task "!or child,
for an eXcitable person, for neuras-
theme or for a weakling."
BY far the greater number OF acccl-
dents occur as the result of the selfish
recklessness and negligence Of over
confident drivers who are capable

who are temperamentally untitled TO
handle any mechanism that may cause
death and destruction of property when

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Does n receipt release me absolutely;
No. A receipt is merely evidence,
very strong evidence, of payment. But
the one who gives the receipt can show
that it was given By mistake, or that
there is mistake in the amount. If
he can show this, then the mistake can
be corrected. The fact that the re-
ceipt is in writing requires very clear
and strong testimony to correct it.
Do grandchildren inherit?
Yes. In case their parent is dead;
then they inherit what their deceased
parent would have received if living.
For instance, if a man dies leaving four
living children and four grandchildren,
who are the children of deceased
child. the estate would go IN five shares
and the four children would receive
one-fifth. share and share alike.

A CHILD'S CLAIM FOR WAGES

A CHILD'S CLAIM FOR WAGES
Among the question and answers in
this issue, the one referring to parent
and child suggests custom which has
been fruitful source of litigation.
Many child, after reaching twenty
one years of age, remains at home on
the farm to help the old folks. No
mention is made of wages, but the re-
lation OF parent and child simply CON
tinues as heretofore. Then the father
dies, and the child finds that it cannot
get any pay for all the days of work it
has devoted to the upbuilding of the
home. The law books are filled with
cases of this kind, some of them so
cruel in their injustice that one finds it
difficult to recognize the necessity of a
rule which results in such "hard law. "
But such is the law. In recent
case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court
clearly states the rule on the subject as
follows:
"The following propositions have
been very definitely settled: Where a
child lives in his parents household,
even after his majority, eating at his
parents table and rendering services
such as are ordinarily rendered by the
members OF household to each other,
the presumption is that the board and
services mutually rendered are intend
ed to be gratultous, and no contract TO
pay therefor on either side will be i'm.
piled; but there must be an express
contract shown, either by direct and
positive evidence, or by circumstant n
evidence, equivalent to direct and pos
tive. The same rule applies between
brother and sister, stepfather and step.
son, foster parent and child, uncle and
niece; and it has been recently said
that in al cases where there is a close
relationship between the parties, and
they live under the same roof the rule
is almost universal that services rend.
