ENGLISH SYSTEM Of
OPERATING RAILWAYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. - How
England has relieved her railways Of
financial difficulties during the war
and left the managers free to devote
all their energies to moving the great
volume of traffic is told in a special
report on the English railways in
war soon to be published ythe Car
negie endowment for international
Peace. The study has been made by
Prof. Frank H. Dixon, of Dartmouth,
and Dr. Julius H. Paraelee of the
Bureau of of Railway Economies.
The essential feature of the Eng
lish railway mobilization plan include
operation of the lines by the same
officials and employees as before the
war, with the exception, of course, OF
the men called to the colors; cabi-
net officer at the head of commit
tee OF railway operating officials, in
existence before the war; the trans
port Of all Government business with
out the necessity of routine payment
for each specific service; the guaran-
tee by the government to the railway
companies of the same net earnings
that the had in the last year of peace,
and the equitable settlement of all
Labor disputes by the payment of war
bonuses.
The merit OF the English plan, as
stated by F. A. Mckenzie, a British
financial authority, is that the inter
ests of the railway stockholders were
able to devote themselves to the work
of economical and efficient distribu-
ton, without worrying over the usual
and unusual financial problems.
England declared war on Germany
Aug. 4, 1914. At one minute after
midnight on Aug, the railroad sys-
tens Of England, Scotland and Wales
passed under the control of the Gem
trail Railway Executive Committee.
At the head of the committee is
the president OF the Board of Trade,
j cabinet officer heading the depar-
me1lt roughly corresponding to the
United States Department of Com
merce of Labor The active head
Of the British committee, however, is
! railway executive, Sir II. A. Walker
Of tie London and Southwestern rail
road.
The law under which the govern
snent look over the railroads required
t. nder them full compensation
for loss Of injury suffered because of
government control

Suggestions for Thanksgiving din


ner:
Tomato ChOwder
Slice potatoes in thin slices and
cut these into half-inch squares.
Soak in water, while mincing Q large
onions and cutting slices of fat
pork into very small dice. Fry the
pork until light brown in the kettle
in which the chowder is to be made;
add potatoes and onions, about q
teaspoonful of salt, and salt spoon
full of black pepper. Cover with
boiling water. Then add two toma-
toes diced in small squares. Sim
mer all until tender-about half an
hour; then add slowly one to two
quarts Of hot milk, let this come to
a boil, add one tablespoonful of but
ter. Taste to see if seasoned suf-
ficiently and serve. Green tomatoes
and stored away in shallow boxes for
winter; they ripen slowly and keep
perfectly until Thanksgiving. Two
of these are used for this chowder.
If these are not ON hand. a little
canned tomato may be used or the
tomato may be entirely omitted.
The fried apple garnish is made
by coring, slicing in thick slices and
browning in sausage fat, large, firm
apples. Arrange in a ring Of over
tapping slices around the turkey.
Serve two slives with each portion.
Baked Squash
Select a hard-helled, well-shaped
squash and cut it in halves. Push
halves together again and bake in
the oven until tender. Remove,
scrape from shells, mash, add butter
literally, about a teaspoonful of
sugar, salt to taste. Heap lightly
in the best shaped half shell, pepper,
and set in the oven to get very hot.
General Taylor Pudding

dark steamed pudding that is both
delicious and economical. Combine
cupful of chopped suet, 1 of mo-
lasses, l of milk, and 1 teaspoonful
of soda. Then add 91s to cup
