added greatly to the Gompany's abil-
ity to move traffic to and from the
city. This one improvement cost the
railroad $6,000,000, but it saved six
miles in distance and overcame a
summit Of the mountains, at the
same time solving the problem of
congestion on the east end of the
Cumberland division, where is han
died the greatest density Of traffic OF
any stretch of railroad in the United
States.
As with the Magnolia cutoff. so
with the entire system, everywhere
economies could be effected they have
been put into operation and today
the Baltimore and Ohio stands out as
one of the big railroad systems of the
country.
Its last months published gross
earnings were over $12, 900, while
for the year to June 80, 1917 the vast
business handled was reflected I'm
earnings aggregating over $122, 0o0, 900.

Oldest Railroad In Country.

The Baltimore and Ohio is the old
est railroad in the country. Its char
ter was granted on February p, 1927,
by the Maryland Legislature and a
week later was ratified by the State
of Virginia. 1t was organized by
few business men of Baltimore, the
moving spirit being George Brown,
a leading banker of the city. Phillip
L. Thomas was elected it's first presl-
dent. The cornerstone was laid by
Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, one Of
the signers of the Declaration Of In
dependence, on July 4, 1928, on which
occasion he made this memorable re-
mark: II consider this among the
most important acts of my life, sec
ond only to my signing the Declara-
ton of Independence, if even 1t be
second to that" Two years later it
was built to Ellicott Mills. IA miles
from Baltimore, was extended to
Frederick Md, in 1881 and by No
vember. 1912, had been constructed to
Cumberland, IT, miles west Of Balti-
more 1t now embraces about 5000
miles of line, tapping the rich coal
fields Of West Virginia and the prin-
cipal cities of the Central States and
with the acquisition Or the main line
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton on July 10, it made direct connec
ton between two more Of Ohio's
hustling cities-Dayton and Toledo.

THE WESTERN MARYLAND

The Western Maryland Railway,
until 10 or II years ago a local intra-
State road, designed to retain and
encourage the trade of the western

phosis, having become a trunk line,
link in q great railway systematic

has third connection with not mere
lv the western part of one State,
but with the Western States.
System Vastly Improved.
In the rehabilitation, extension and
general Improvement work Of the

ington and for a terminal there; S.
$780, 900 for the extension of 60 miles
from Cherry Run to Cumberland. and
between $12 100000 and $4,000, 900 for
the S7-mile extension from Cumber

junction with the New York Central
system. About 100000, 900 or more
have been expended by the Company
in improving the facilities in Balti-
more and the tributary territory, thus
having a direct bearing on the future
Of Baltimore.

Gore To Offer Bill.
The senate agriculture subcommit-
tee agreed today on provisions of a
food control bill to be introduced to-
morrow by Senator Gore. II is similar
in most respects to the first OF the
food administration bills offered in the
house by Mr.. Lever and would make
Immediately available an appropria-
ton for a food survey. 1t also carries
the house bills measures to stimulate
production by giving the secretary Of
agriculture power to see that seeds
are distributed more evenly and more
promptly. Eioarding for the purpose
of manipulating the market would be
made unlawful, as would combinations
to control food resources.
Secretary Houston in statement
today declared early passage of the
bills essential to successful conduct OF
the war.
Power for the president TO give food
shipments preference over other COM
modities probably will be asked in a
separate resolution instead of incor-
porating II in the present bills Con-
gress Will be asked to hurry consid-
Grafton of the bill giving the govern
ment direction of exports, as admin

the most necessary of the government
measures If the United States is to
co operate fully with the allies.
