CONSERVE CRUDE OIL SUPPLY
Railroads Meet Delay In Changing
Fuel Equipment Of Locomotives
Mechanics Are Shy.

According to advices received by the
Texas railroad commission, there Is
such shortage of expert mechanics
that the Southern Pacific and the San
ia Fe are meeting delay in changing
the fuel equipment Of their locomo-
tives from oil burners to coal burners.
The purpose of going back to the use
of coal is in order to conserve the
crude oil supply for war purposes.
The demand for mechanics is said to
be the greatest ever known in the his
tory of Texas. Thousands of these
skilled artisans have left the state
during the last several months to take
employment in Industrial plants in the
North and East. The railroad shops
have been largely depleted of this
class Of employees, and there is no
source open by which to fill the exist
ing demand for them.

NOVEL IDEA IN RAILR0ADING
Eastern Road Inaugurates Central
Classification Yard for Its
Entire System.

The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad, despite it's troubles, has
just started to put in effect what
amounts to new idea in railroading-
a central classification yard for it's en-
tire system. The new yard Is to be at
Montowese, or Cedar Hill, near New
Haven, and will be the largest in New
England. The idea Of classification
yard may not be entirely new in itself,
but the New Haven yard will be the
hub Of the whole system, covering
most Of New England, from all parts
of which trains, on all routes, made up
of cars for all destinations, will be run
to Montowese to be sorted, thus re-
lieving the present terminals and yards
on the outposts of the system from
much of their present burden. The
Montowese yard will be big enough to
take the peak load of the whole sys-
TEN without overcrowding. At the
same time the plan Of single huge
central classification yard is relied ON
by New Haven officials to simplify
compliance with the eight-hour law

Fascinated Him.

reticence. But he had brushed elbows
with new people and had learned to
observe their ways, and ever and Anon
found congenial spirit. 1t was all In
a days companionship, however, and
he made only casual acquaintance.
The great modern capitals did not
attract him. The historic held all of
compelling interest. Egypt, India, the
Ganges, the Euphrates, Asia Minor, the
romance and reliquaries of olden
times held much of fascination for
him. One day at an obscure town
fringing on wonderful sketch of
greenery and mountain expanse, he
left the tourists sojourning at some
celebrated medicinal springs, Shout
dered his travelling pack and strolled
forth alone. The natives offered guide
and servant assistance, but he wished
to be alone. Nature was ut its most
glorious along the narrow paths. The
hum of busy insect life, the soft whis-
perings Of the broad leaves seemed to
say: II am nature-come into my
workshop"
Wayne strolled for hours. He had
traversed a beautiful valley when he
found dusk just approaching. His
compass gave him no hint of the prox.
unity of settlement or hamlet. II
guided him north, however, and he
knew that somewhere In that direction
lay Mahdi.
A full, glorious moon lighted his
way and enhanced the rare beauty and
grandeur Of his environment. He had
about decided to unpack, eat and
spread his blankets for full night
rest, when he noted flag waving in
the near distance. He kept 1t In sight

OPPOSE STATE
SUPERVISION OF
J|TNEY TRAFFIC
Orange st. Lines Measure,
Before Judiciary Commit
tee, Widely Discussed.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. 24-Opposition de-
veloped among associations of jitney
owners and from other sources, at a
hearing yesterday on a bill before
the committee on the Judiciary which
would place the regulation of all reg
ularly run jitney lines in the hands
of the public utilities commission.
Attorney Seymour LOOMS of New
Haven appeared in favor OF. the meas
ure, as counsel for an old established
line of jitneys on Orange street, New
Haven. This line has been operated
for about a score of years. under
VARYING means of transportation, now
using large auto buses. The purpose
IF the bill, he said. is to place jitney
lines, as common carriers under the
same supervision as trolleys.
Attorney G. M. Robinson, for the
state association of automobile clubs,
opposed the measure, advocating
rather that the regulation be left with
towns. Senator Leonard Of New Ha-
ven, chairman of the committee on
railroads, opposed any matter that
would hamper the jitneys, and advo-
Gated that police regulation would
be better than the proposed method.
Attorney w. w Bent of Bridgeport,
and Representative Clifford Stoddard
of Woodbridge, also opposed the
measure.
