NEW TYPE CROSSING SIGNAL
Trial of Design Being Made on Lines
of Virginia company-Drivers
Are Responsible.

Railroad crossing signals of the type
adopted at recent convention of rail
road officials in this city will be placed
this week at the crossings of Virginia
line, both on the AleXandria-Mt. Yer
non division and that to Falls Church
and Fairfax.
The signals consist of large round
disk having a deep border of black
around it with large letters Il. II. in
black and black lines forming a cross
through the center from edge to edge.
The rest of the disk Is white and large
enough to attract attention even on a
dark night. They will be placed 300
feet from the crossings on each side
nnd will give ample room for automo-
bile drivers to check the speed of their
machines before the crossings are
reached.
The recent decisions in the Virginia
courts, it is stated, place the burden of
looking out for safety at railroad
crossings upon the drivers Of automC
biles or other vehicles.

Mrs. George de Long, the former

the wealthy children of the late James

new private car, Vagabondia, in which
she and her husband and former pri-

finishing their honeymoon, San Fran

A payment by checks Of De Long
through the local Haggn people for a
bill of repairs gave the first inkling
of the purchase, and gift, all of which
is causing railroad officials to voice
this interesting opinion: "Never in the
history of the overland railroads have

case right now"
And they are pointing out that of
80 private cars on the three roads in
half of them are either chartered or
owned by women.
Mrs. M. II. de Young of San Fran

derelict predecessors proves that
uses may be found for everything If
one looks far enough. AS the larger
engines came into use on the main
lines, such of the "eight-wheelers" as
could be used did service on branch
lines. And that is where the so loco
motives are being put to work. The
branch lines of the present day may
be compared to the main lines of %
years ago and the extension and
growth of service on these small lines
naturally bring demand for engines
that can be operated without too
great expense.
Old Frames Were Good.
When it came time to reclaim all of
these locomotives from the scrap pile
it was found that the frames were
for the most part entirely good. New
boilers consequently were bought and
the old engines taken down part by
part. Generally speaking with the
exception of the boilers all the other
parts of the new engines were saved
from the scrap pile. The good parts
from the old locomotives were assem-
bled just the same as in building en-
tirely new engines. Even the old boil
ers were not entirely lost for many
of them were made to do service in
round houses and shops where there
was no necessity for high-steam pres
sure. While at first sight the new
locomotives appear shorter than the
old in reality they are not; the fact
that larger boilers were used makes
them appear so. About one-third the
cost of new locomotives was saved
by the plan; and the engines are pro-
nounced vastly superior to their fore
runners, and altogether the equal of
any of their size built entirely new at
locomotive works.

(From Scientific American.)

(F'rom Scientific American)
An order of so locomotives fresh
from the works is good-sized, but
when a railroad decides to turn out
that number from it's own scrap yards
the achievement has more than ordi-
nary significance. This has recently
been accomplished by the Burlington
railroad in it's various shops and the
same engines that a year or so ago
were lined up on the side tracks in a
diapidated condition are now serving
branch lines in various parts of the
middle West.
A quarter of a century ago the big
gest locomotives were little eight
wheeled affairs. One who has noticed
their long, low appearance and mar
row boilers will not soon forget them.
These engines pulled the big trains of
their day and ran on every line in the
country. The iron leviathans of the
present time had not been thought of.
Trains were composed of three or four
coaches for the most part and traffic
had reached but a small portion of It's
present size. The little locomotives
did service because there was no call
for anything better.
Little Engines Crowded Out.
But year by year the main lines of
the roads secured more traffic, trains
grew longer and cars heavier and the
little engines that had done their
service so we'll few years before
were crowded off. The Atlantic and
Pacific types of locomotives took their
places and the little "eight-wheelers'
were gradually side-tracked as they

SECRECY Wells
ACTIVITIES OF
LABORLEADERS
Report is Proposals Will Be
Submitted to Planters
Association Soon

New plans, new ideas and new ar
rangements are being considered by
the leaders OF the Japanese association
for higher wages. according TO reports
current in Japanese circles, hut what
they are no one outside OF the aSSo-
citation appears TO know.
The leaders are said to have declar-
ed that unless they keep their actions
unknown to the planters a-5ociation.
they cannot accomplish anything, and
it is now certain they will, in the
future. try to keep the most important
matters AS secret as possible.
They intend, howeve-., to present
their proposition to the planters as
ISOLATION as soon as it has been ap-
proved by the so-caileG board Of
leaders"
Fred X. Maxine, X. Murakami o.
K. Shibayama. secretary Of the s= s--
citation, VIXEN asked about these piE:3E3EFz
said that they had nothing imposT1nl
to tell. They even admitted that they
did not know when the second confer.
ence OF the association will be called.
AS is we'll known, when the leaders
of the higher wage association went
to Kona, Hawaii, some weeks ago, no
action had been taken by the special
committee which was authorized at
the first conference to appoint sub
committees. In the meantime, accord
ing TO reports, 8. -"oki, one Of the
LENDERS of the committee, was con-
fined to his home with illness for a
few days. Y. Takakuwa, another
member of the committee, it is re-
ported, was considering resigning his
position. DR.. l. Katsuki, another
member, will soon leave for Japan,
where, it is said, he and his family
will stay for several months. DR.. j.
Uchida and M. Komeya are the other
members of the committee.
Owing to business pressure, the
committee did not have well-attend
ed meeting. The committee decided,
however, to report to the second con-
ference that it could not, after care
fully considering the matter, appoint
subcommittee as proposed, because
it felt it did not have full authority
so to do.
This explanation, which was pub
lished in all the Japanese dailies, was
not acceptable to the Japanese COM
munity, it is reported.
