BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRD.

The never-ending desire for some
thing new" which is characteristic
Of the American people, has it's effect
on architecture by bringing into use
In this country the distinguishing char
acteristics Of nearly every successful
type Of architecture which has ever
been used in any part of the world.
One Of the attractive architectural
adaptations which American architects
have brought about is modelled after
the Swiss chalet. The Swiss architec-
ture is usually associated with rugged
landscape. There are various places
In the United States where the sur
roundings are suitable for the adapta-
| ton Of this style Of architecture. Many
country estates in localities where the
/ topography Is characterized by abrupt
changes in elevation with exposed rock
surfaces, where the growth of trees
and other natural features are agree
able, have been planned after the
Swiss style to produce beautiful re-
suits. The house very often is built
on the very edge Of an abrupt cliff and
the effect is all the more beautiful if
nature has provided a clear stream
which winds through the estate and
passes at the base of this cliff.
Occasionally beauty spot of this
type is found within the boundaries of

The prevailing rock formation under
lying this section is yellow limestone
and it happens that some force Of ma
ture during the past ages formed a
Jagged break in the surface of the
earth starting at point few hun
bred yards from the mouth Of the
creek and extending roughly along its
course until it is finally smoothed out
toward the north and west. For about
three hundred feet in it, course the
creek flows along at the base Of the
cliff, which is perhaps 60 feet high at
this point. The land adjacent to this
cliff, on either side of the creek, very
fortunately came into the hands of a
man who has devoted his entire life to
the study and practice of landscape
architecture. He saw here the posi-
billty of working out beautiful plan
following the Swiss style.

WORK FOR SCHOLAR
What Fairfax Harrison Did for
Transportation in South.
single UNIT idea Wins OUT
Great Work of Double Tracking and
Realignina Main Line of Southern
Railway, Brought to Success
full Completion.

The Southern railway is the main
stem of the South. With it's head at
Washington its many arms reach for
long distances-to Atlanta, to Savan-
nah, to Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis,
Memphis and to New Orleans. 1t is
1000 miles of railroad, and today re-
markably well operated railroad. Time
was when this was not so. The South
was suspicious of its namesake-and
many times for good reason. For it is
never an easy process to evolve a sin
gle great railroad from a group of rival
and ambitious smaller lines, ofttimes
connecting and cooperating in theory
but not in practice.
Even after the Southern came into
eXiStence-a little less than twenty-five
years ago-the battle was not won nor
the problem solved, Edward Hunger
ford writes in Leslies. The new road
was single system, but only in name !;
the old jealousies still existed. For a
time it seemed as if the road could
not stand. Men came and men went.
1t was hard work for the single unit
idea to take hold. Gradually it did.
Progress began. And then came the
day-in the fall of 1913-when a new
president was announced for the prop
erty. And the wise men of the South,
knowing him, said:
"At last, the Southern has come in
to it's own"
New President Was Harrison.
TIE new president was Fairfax Har-
rison and his very name was half the
battle fought. Tradition, good blood
and old blood-how it all does count
south of the Potomac! Harrison's ia
Their had been private secretary to
President Jefferson Davis-think of
what that meant to land which even
today lives in the memories of "the

wide clapboards, stained to represent
weathered timber or dark brown, as
preferred. The massive balcony rail
above the wide window opening in
the front wall Of the house is very eff
fective as an adaptation of the origin
al style. The typical chalet has bal
cOny on two sides of the building,
built close up under the caves. Very
often the timbers used in the con-
struction of these balconies were very
deliberately carved. The decks above
the porches Of the design Illustrated
are intended to add an atmosphere Of
the rustic in the same way that the
balcony is effectively used.
A novel method of supporting the
roof overhanging the gables consists
of the only use of exposed timbers
which Is found in the design. The prin-
cipal rafters are supported by beams
extending out from the wall of the
house. Near the center of these beams
a timber Is extended parallel to the
wall of the house, the beams resting
on this timber which is in turn sup
ported by a second set of beams, not
SO long as those which support the raf-
tiers. The timber is not as long as the
rafters, but 1t is stopped short dis
lance beyond the outer beam toward
the top and bottom Of the roof, the
timber ends being cut with a simple
ornamental design.
The entrance to the house Is on the
side and is through cozy little porch
adjoining the reception hall. The re-
ceptiOn hall opens into the dining room
on one side through double doors and
on the other side through a cased
opening into the living room. The liv-
ing room extends across the front of
the house and is 20 feet by 10 feet In
size. In one end Of 1t Is a brick fire.
place flanked with two windows which
have book cases built beneath them
This room is well lighted by the two
windows mentioned and a broad triple
window in front.
In the back part of the house is O
large living porch which will be es-
pecially appreciated in the summer
This porch is intended to be fitted
with screens In the summer and storm
sash during the winter. On the sec
ond floor there are three bedrooms
and a BATH The decks could be very
easily fitted with frames for canvas
coverings which would make them
very much appreciated as sleeping
porches ...

August 1, 34,605 on September /.
The actual number of untitled car
orders on October / was almost iden-
teal with the number on October /
of last year, the figures being 1852
for October 1, 1917, and 1854 for
September 80, 1916. On the latter date
a. 157 cars were idle, whereas on last
October 1 only 24,192 were idle, thus
indicating a more efficient use of the
available equipment.
Returns to the railroads war board
show that the actual number of cars
and locomotives now in service is only
slightly in excess of the number at
this time last year.
The war board on October 10 had
been in existence exactly six months.
During that period the railroads have
rendered upwards of Is per cent more
service than during the same period
of last year, with practically the same
plant. The outstanding feature of the
situation is the degree to which the
railroads are cooperating whole
heartedly with one another and with
the railroads war board.

four years." And his mother, Mrs.
Burton Harrison, is one of the few
really distinguished women in the short
annals of our American literature. No
wonder then that the son writes cas-
lily and fluently-that the annual re-
ports of the Southern railway are doc
uments which for exquisite literary
style are without peer in the CONNER
cial annals of the land.
Nor does the pen of Fairfax Harri-
son stop at English facility. If the
man were not a railroader, and a very
great railroader at that, he might have
become an American Macaulay or
Bagehot. He is, unquestionably the
finest Greek and Latin scholar among
the big business men of this country.
Record Speaks for Itself.
For Harrisons record had begun to
speak for itself. 1t has continued to
speak for itself ever since he took the
rudder of the Southern. The great
work of double tracking and realigning
distinguished earlier president of the
road-Samuel Spencer-he has carried
forward to completion. The troops that
slipped down into the camps and can
tonments of the southeast during the
past few weeks rode over a main line
that stretches from Washington to At
lanta and today is completely double
tracked-save for few inconsequen-
tial links which will be finished within
the next few months.
1t would seem to follow almost as a
matter of course that any man with
such practical notion of preparedness
should be made chairman of the war
board Of the railroads. The war board
is one of the most interesting of all
the emergency organizations that have
sprung up in Washington within the
last six months-important because it
holds in the hollow of it's hand the des-
TIMES and the operating control of al
most every mile of the 275,000 miles of
railroad in the United States of Amer
lea.
Technically the war board Is the war
defense committee of the American
Railway association. It's oper-
alton divides, both geographically and
functionally, into subcommittee, also
composed of railroad executives and
located in the various corners of the
land, and into other subcommittee
having in their care such important
functions as car service, military oper-
alton, government, accounting, military
tariffs, express service and the like.
Its powers are sweeping.

WILL USE KEROSENE AS FUEL
Peculiarly Constructed Locomotive for
Work In Yards and Indus
trial Plants.

A peculiarly shaped locomotive that
weighs only two tons and runs on ker-
osene for fuel is being employed on
construction work in yards, industrial
plants and contracting work. It's
strange appearance is due to the fact
that the boiler with the stack sits on
the center of the truck while the water
tank is in front. Under the latter is
a small unit engine that transmits the
power to the solid car wheels. This
type of oil-burning engine, the largest
size of which Is 20 tons, can be ope-
rated by one man, who can learn the
trick in one or two days of preliminary
lessons. Kerosene may be the future
motor fuel.

He built his home closely to the
Swiss model and placed it almost on
the edge Of the cliff. 1t is a decidedly
rustic building with low pitch roof,
wide balconies, distinctive windows
and all Of the details of ornamentation
common to this style. During the sum-
mer months the "Swiss Cottage" as 1t
Is commonly called in Rockford, forms
beautiful picture in the background
of which there are impressive oaks
and many other trees, a mass of shrub
berry and the contrasting colors of
many flowers.
While it must be admitted that the
true beauty of the Swiss chalet de-
ponds upon its surroundings, yet the
characteristics of this style may be
variously modified and applied to

in this way is presented in the &C
companying perspective view. There
is little Of the elaborate characterization
which is found on the typical Swiss
chalet. The use Of heavy exposed TIM
beers, which is a strong feature Of this
style, is suppressed considerably in
this house, but enough has been re-
tanned to secure the rustic appearance
which is necessary If the dwelling is
to carry any resemblance at all to
the basic style.

RAILWAY SWITCH AND SIGNAL
Automobile Device Invented by TWO
Michigan Men-Adapted to Be
Actuated by Train Trip.

In illustrating and describing a rail
way switch, invented by F. Evans and
d. Butt, Riverdale, Mich, the Scientific
American says:
This invention relates particularly
to switch and signal of the type
adapted to be actuated by train trip,
and is so connected and arranged that
the switch bar, connected with the
switch points, will be rocked by a
train trip and sliding axial move
ment will be given to the switch bar,
the rocking movement serving to ac-
