U. OF M. ASSURED
OF new HOSPITAL
BILL PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES
APPRoPRIATINo $s5o,ooo THE
NEXT TWO YEARS.
ENOUGH TO BUILD TWO UNITS
Legislatures of 1919 and 1921 Are Ex-
pected to Provide Funds for
other Buildings Needed.

Lansing-The University of Mich
igan is now assured of new hospital
that will cost $1,O5O,OOO. Both houses
passed a bill appropriating $35O,OO0
the next two years to build two of the
six units of the new hospital.
The regents asked the legislature to
vote $1,O5O.O0O, so $4,000 would be
available for each of six years, but
this was not done because a legisla-
ture, except in great emergencies,
does not vote money to be raised be-
yond the time for which the legisla-
ture is elected
The 1919 legislature is counted on
to supply tn emoney to build units
Nos. and 4, and the 1891 legislature
for units Nos. 5 and 6.

DOG LICENSE BILL PASSED
Ceased to Be Joke When Shown That
Dogs Kill 1900 Sheep Yearly.

Lansing-When Representative Root
told the house of representatives how
many sheep are killed annually in
Michigan by dogs, the Root dog-licens-
ing bill ceased to be joke and was
transmitted into a food conservation
measure.
Rep. Root presented a long array of
statistics to show the extent Of sheep
killing by dogs.
The number of sheep killed in Mich
igan is estimated at above 1900 an
nually.
The bill was passed with an over
whelming majority. Incidentally, the
supervisor who doesn't assess a dog
and the sheriff who doesn't cause the
execution of dog on which no tax is
paid is liable to removal from Office.

Paris Paper Tells
of Vast Wonders
of American Camp

PARIS, Dec 21.-The wonders of q
vast American training camp for ayi-
ators In central France are described
enthusiastically in the Petit Parisien
by Paul Ginisty, who has just visited
the camp. With the exception of a
few huts, he writes, all the material
was brought from America. The work
was begun in September under the d.
rection of $50 men, experts in various
branches, and the driving power which
they are putting into their tasks was
evident on every hand. From this
camp fully trained pilots will be sent
to the front. French aviators are
there to give the benefit of their
experiences.
The arrangements which have been
made for the comfort and entertain.
ment of the American soldiers in all
the camps are praised by NJ Ginisty.
who also was greatly impressed by
the highly developed administrative
organization which has been perfected
He was especially struck by a table at
the aviation camp which records the
progress of each pilot from the time
of his first flight until he is perform
ing acrobatic tricks in the air.

HAS REDUCED CAR SHORTAGE
Railroad War Board Gets Information
That Merging of Roads Is
Big Success.

Information gathered by the rail
road war board indicates that the vol
untary action of the roads merging
themselves into one great continental
system has made the transportation
problem much easier to handle.
Concrete instances of what has been
accomplished are summarized as fol-
lows:
Car shortage has been reduced 70
per cent.
The carriers have achieved the as
founding feat Of adding to their freight
service an amount equal to the joint
traffic of Great Britain, France, Rus
STA, Germany and Austria.
Approximately 100000 miles of
train service a year have been saved
by the elimination of passenger
trains not essential to pressing needs.
This has released locomotives and
cleared thousands of miles of track
needed in the transportation of neces-
stiles.

sands of Miles of Lines Behind

Search for Material.

IF the war has done nothing else for
certain Wall street men who have been
playing the railroad game-and the
chances are that it has performed
many miracles for them-it has Gre
ated bullish market for any old rail-
roads they may have had on hand for
some time, observes a writer in New
York Sun. The long and hungry arm
of war has reached out into Amer
lea and Canada in search of sur
plus and unused railroads and the
plains and junkyards of the two coun-
tries have been ransacked of the ma
terials required in France.
AS a result the man who was wise
enough to hold onto his old railroad
or who was compelled to retain pos
session Of the property because there
was nothing else for him to do, Is
thanking his lucky stars for being able
to unload, at fancy war prices,' the
veriest railroad junk.
Old Roads In Demand.
One of the thousand and one indus
trial romances brought about by the
war has been this keen demand for
old railroads. England and France
have been working overtime building
hundreds and thousands of miles of
railroad lines behind their trenches
along the western front. Naturally
they have been compelled to go far
and wide in search of the material
for these supply lines, inasmuch as
the steel mills of the two countries
have been working "a hours q day
making shells and supplying NUM-
lions.
The tremendous demand for steel
rails and rolling stock for the allied
armies in France caught the steel
trade unprepared, and rather than wait
for months for the rail equipment fac
tories to catch up England has gone
into the world market in search of old
railroads which could be dismantled
and transplanted to France.
Hundreds of miles of railroad have
disappeared completely from the face
of the North American continent, only
to appear a few months later in east
ern France. Engines, cars, rails,
bridges, ties-everything real and tan
gible in the way of railroad property
has been running the submarine block
ade for months, and the end Is not in
sight.

Successful "War Bride"

Junk dealers, or waste material men,
as they call themselves now that war
prosperity has made their business one
of the most successful "war Brides"
have been scampering about the coun-
try buying up all the decrepit railroads
they could get their hands on. And
as Junk" the road properties have
been sold at prices 300 and 400 per
cent above the Junk" market of four
years ago.
Within recent months approximately
1000 miles of Canadian and American
railroads, including all rolling stock
worth salvaging, have been snapped up
and prepared for shipment abroad.
Even hungry junk dealers from Japan
have appeared in the market.
Scattered about the middle west are
numerous relics of the days when
railroad promoters scourged the coun-
try like a plague of locusts. Little
railroad lines were built, the public
mulcted of it's hard-earned dollars, and
soon the railroad system ceased to
exist.
