Scotland Beginning to
Build Concrete Dwellings

A dwelling just completed in Dewar
Street, Dunfcrmlinc, Scotland, marks
a new departure in overcoming the
housing problem in this city. The cot
tage is built entirely Of reinforced
concrete of American patent and
largely Of American material. The
building is watertight. fireproof and
vermin proof, and the limiting of tim
Der work to a minimum does away with
the risk of any kind OF rot, besides
saving on the excessive price Of lum-
ber The main features are no wood
work, except windows and doors, and
recess in the slabs of floors for wood
or other finish, as linoleum. Lathing
is entirely done away with and the
plaster work is composed of regula-
tion size slabs.
The patentee clarns that the house
can be erected nt little more than half
the cost of stone erection and will
be equally durable. The architect Of
this building, Mr.. Rutherford, first OBJ
tanned his ideas of this new departure
in dwelling house construction from
the American consulate in Dunferm-
line. Commerce Reports.

yearold son has just brought down his
second German plane and been award

official reports from Paris.

Era Of Personal Power
Ended Dec. 28, 1917

Then, one gloomy day in December the
President of the United States. ignor-
ing the railway sattrapies and likewise
the sources Of their power, took over
all their dominions and turned them
over to Mr.. McAdoo, to run them alone
with lot of other organizations and
institutions which we're already keep
ing Mr.. McAdoo pretty busy-but he
had time for little matter like direct
ing 2o0,0oo miles Of railway, the ad-
ministration of. which is more impor-

litical subdivisions. 1t was not only what
was done. but the manner in which it
was done. gave the railway presidents
& bad half hour then and many sub
sequent uneasy hours. Many railway
crown slid over to a perilous angle
when Mr.. McAdoo. was erroneously
quoted as talking about eliminating
financial executives and slashing sal
aries of others.
After due meditation and reflection
the railway barons came to the realizs-
tion that they had witnessed the actual
departure of an age which had been
passing without their perceiving It,
Historians like to measure off history
by the yardstick of the centuries, and
many a schoolboy doubtless believes
that historic institutions come into
being and pass away with punctilious
regard for the Gregorian calendar, so
that you can say that on December 81.
1899. the Middle Ages stopped short
and the Modern Era. full blown, stepped
onto the stage. That is imposing a
convenient, but deceptive. chronology
on history. But it can be said with
startling definiteness that the age of
personal power in American railways
passed out on December 2s, 1917. We
all saw it go.

Whether Congress shall hand the
railways back to their old masters after
the war OF not is mere detail of ad-

the former administrators get them
back, it will simply be in more or less
velled form of public servancy. Initja-
tive and creative powtr will be theirs
no more. The war S catching us all,
great and little, in its remorseless
grasp. A lot of US are being sunk with
out warning. The railway presidents
are down below for good. They have
disappeared into second-rateness. Their
Great Age is as much part of the past
as that of Doges.
The dead hand no longer rules in
railway circles. Now and henceforth
railway problems must be studied more
by looking forward than by looking

Authority of Railroad Presidents Who Exercised Power
Industrial Government More Real Than That of
Political Rulers Has Passed Forever

WASHINGTON, Feb. a.--Contincntal
America is divided into forty eight
,srts. according TO the maps. Polit-
;.slly that is the fact. Those red, green
and yellow patches on the map cannot
hs gainsaid. lndustrialIy, however,
America is an aggregation of railway
zones. Industry is greater than pol
;tics in the modern world. Now, the
nresidcnts of the great railway sys-
TENS were therefore the real governors
of the real subdivisions Of the nation.
50 long as he lived j. J. Hill was the
satrap OF all that vast region west of
Chicago and northwest from Omaha to
the Pacific Coast Men never thought
of this region in terms Of political gov
ernors, but in terms of "Jim" Hill. In
all that region community groups
thought of themselves not as villages,
counties or cities, but as stars, black
spots or little circles on the &C. n" or
the "N. p" or the Burlington"
South of the Jim Hill country was
the Hartman country, an empire that
took up the larger part of the Pacific
Coast and the whole of the Southwest.
Similar. though smaller, subdivisions,
according to railway domination, pre-
vailed east of the Mississippi River.
