4UWARDA, Pa, Jan. 3.--This
town Is all stirred up over the
first real mystery 1t has ever had,
The SEVENTH PAIR of twins
to be born on Union street have
just arrived at the home of Sam
uel Cullan.
Union street is NOT HALF A
MILE LONG and therefore every
body is seriously asking and
wanting to know
WHY THE STORK IS so PAR
TIAL TO THIS PARTICULAR
STREET?
Local physicians having failed
to explain the mystery, the mayor
has addressed q communication
to DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, state
of health at Har-
risburg asking IL he or anybody
in his department can explain
just why nothing but twins are
born in this short thoroughfare.
Union street is in one of the
driest and healthiest parts of
town and survey conducted by
local authorities has revealed
that persons living In the street
average remarkably high health
records. As far as most OF the
residents examined can recall they
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-01-03

themselves in addition to enjoy
ing particularly good health all
come of strong. healthy stock.
The authorities seized upon
this as being the logical explana-
tion of the predominance of twins
but this theory was discarded
when one of the last women to
be questioned, a Mrs. George
Foran, was found to have been
practically an invalid up to the
time of the birth of twins q year
ago. Since then her health has
improved rapidly. ,. =
Atmospheric tests have reveal
ed that the air roundabout Union
street Is somewhat freer from
SCOT than In some other sections
fthe town but does not differ
in any other particular from the
atmosphere in other streets.
Therefore the twins cannot be
blamed on the climate.
It Is real, fascinating mys-
terry which all the town is seri-
ously trying to solve.
And meanwhile there Is such
a demand for residences along
the thoroughfare that % new
houses are to be erected in the
spring.

Americans Buying

There are al railroads in the United States of
100 miles OF more in length. But they aren't all
owned by Americans.
The securities of 1O2 of them are held in greater
or less quantity abroad. But Americans are buy
ing back these securities The year 1915 has seen
not only tremendous increase in railroad effc-
iency, BUT ALSO THE RETURN TO THIS
COUNTRY OF NEARLY $5O0,000,OO0 IN RAIL

The year 1916 and following years will bring
not only continuation of this process, but stu
pendous task in refinancing the roads,
1t is a fitting time right now for Uncle Sam to
look to the job of making the railroads more effc-
lent than ever.-Edtor The Times.

Railroads I'm 1915 Save 1856
Millions BY Brandeis' Ideas, =
AT Which They Had All Jeered

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 3.-Brandes was right!
The mild hammered Boston lawyer who five years
ago had the nerve to confront Americas most coos-
sal combinations of capital and to tell them how
their business ought to be run was dead right
One million dollars A DAY they could save, he
declared, if only they would adopt scientific effic
iency methods! And when he teld them how to do
it, you remember the way the railroads jeered!
But they aren't jeering at Brandeis today They
merely hate him now. For 1915 has actually made
them buckle down and DO the very things Brandies
told them toll
And the railroads own statistics, which have just
come to light, reveal what tremendous savings have
been realized by the practice of the hated Brandes
efficiency methods. In the fiscal year 1915 the
roads Garner $l63 600 LESS than in 1914 vet by
practcing true efficiency they actually cut operat
ing expenses by the tremendous total of 186 600
thus showing really an INCREASE in net returns!

accomplished all this-who start
ed the multi-billionaire railroads
along the path toward efficient
public utility.
Brandeis is one of those radi-
Gals who think the function OF
railroads and other utilities is as
much to serve the public as to
serve private exploiters! And
Brandeis was right on efficiency.
What II Brandeis should be right

Refuse Brandeis Credit.
OF course the railroads DOM
give Brandeis a jot of credit for
the efficiency that they have just
begun to put into practice. Wit
ness an article in the Railway Age
Gazette, which sums up the
economies so far realized.
More than half of this economy
was in transportation expenses,
according to the Gazette. They
were cut down nine per cent a
mile! The efficiency has been
realized in part by the scientific
loading of trains, using larger
cars, loading more freight into
each car, and by running more
cars per train.
And now we come to the ami
