HOPE CROWS FOR
TRACK ELEVATION
Officials of Three Roads to
Meet With Board of Works
on July l8.

In the near future South Bend
may hope TO enjoy its principal
streets unobstructed by railroad
traffic.
That there will be "A joint meeting
OF the construction engineers OF the
Lake shore, Grand Trunk and Van
dalia railroads with the board Of
public works and the mayor, was an
nounced at last nights meeting OF
the board OF works. The joint ses-
sion will be held Tuesday, July is,
at 10 o'clock.
There has been much discussion
over the improvement of the rail-
road approaches TO the city but so
far no definite steps have been taken.
IL is proposed that at this next con-
ference some sort OF an agreement
be reached which will meet the APP
proval OF the railway officials as we'll
as of the board OF works and the
people that IL represents.
Plans to Raise Lake Shore.
Tentative plans for the elevation of
the Lake shore tracks starting at
Michigan st. and continuing on to
Chaplin ST., will be presented by the
construction engineers of the COM
pany. It Is thought that this way OF
solving the difficult situation will be
most likely TO satisfy all parties con-
cerned This will do away with a
half dozen troublesome crossings
and the incident costs in lives and
money.
officials of the other two roads
are being called to the meeting to
hear the discussion and also in order
that an attempt may be made to get
united action upon this question. 1t
is hoped that some plan may be
drawn up that will comprehensively
solve the matter. Even II the plan
is not at once feasible, if it ade-
quately allows for the expansion of
the city and for the future increase
OF traffic it may be applied by de-
grees
Fond hopes were entertained by a
member of the board that the Grand

Pen Picture of Alassio

From "A Memory of Alassio," by Mary

 It is many years since in 1894 I first saw the little Rivera town I am writing about, but 1t stays in my memory as a lovely picture. Blue sea, blue sky, strip of hard. yellow sand. gray olive groves. bright green chestnuts. and over all the mountains often capped with snow rising straight up with the blue sky. There hardly seemed room between the sea and the hills for a road, but there were two. carriage and railroad. The great ex- press thundered along at our feet day and night, but we grew so accustomed to the noise that it didn't disturb us. missed the familiar sounds of the sea, the breaking of the waves on the shore. and the swish back of the water-for the Mediterranean. still, tideless sea, looked almost like a painted ocean from the terraces and windows. It was early spring when came. leaving Paris damp and cold. still in the clutches of winter, and this place was paradise of flowers and color.

We walked some little distance, climbed up steep flight of steps, through another gate, which led into garden We walked along straight little path dhe only level bit of ground in the place) to the house. Even in the darkness could see the cluster of roses everywhere-and the scent was almost too strong in the still. soft

 MUST FIGHT ENEMIES
 ''The council have also repeatedly been told, when they have urged the necessity for expenditure upon research with view to improvements and developments, that there Is no security that new ventures will not be left, when peace comes, to shift for themselves as best they may in face of the highly organized competition of our enemies. We do not need to be convinced of the reality of the danger, but we are inclined to doubt the cfricacy of any single device for removing it. Or ganization can only be fought by coun- ter organization, and so long as the Englishman treats his business house as his business castle adding to it's original plan here and there as necessity or in- clination directs, with his hand against the hand of every other baron in his trade and no personal interest in the foreign politics of his industry as a whole it will be as impossible for the state to save him, whether by research or other means, as it would have been for King

 As regards the second condition Of success, progress in cooperative eff fort is undoubtedly being made in many directions and we have mentioned some instances of it. If the general level of man ufacture can be rapidly raised by cooperative effort in the exchange of information between firms and in the support of national trade institutes for research, as well as in the improve ment of the conditions and efficiency Of labor. this country will have gone far toward establishing its industrial prosperity on firm basis
