ENGINEERS Will
DISCUSS SAVING
COAL and FUEL
Mammoth Exhibit and Con
vention To Be Held at
Armory July 10 to 13. :


Conservation of coal, especially coal
for commercial purposes, will be the
slogan Of the convention and national
exhibit to be held at the State Armory
by the New England States organiza-
ton of the National Association of
Engineers in conjunction with the
New England Commercial Engineers
association from July 10 to 10. The
exhibit will comprise 1SS booths con-
tanning nearly every fuel saving de-
vice manufactured and the concerns
making such apparatus will have rep
resentatives present to demonstrate
their use.
The convention and exhibit Is the
first that has ever been held here and
already considerable interest has been
evinced in the affair by those who
are concerned IN the conservation of
/ fuel of all descriptions in accordance
with the request made by the United
States government. Heads of man
4 ufacturing plants, supArintendents,
mechanics, in fact every person in
terested in the saving of coal is in
vited to attend the affair. The COM
mittee in charge is working hard to
make 1t a success and it is more than
/
annual affair.
Admission to both the convention
and the exhibit will be Free all ex-
penses being betrayed by the asso-
Citations under whose auspices the
affair is being held On the last day
of the affair there will be a field day
to ibe held at Lordship Park to con-
Clude with dinner in the evening.
Several prominent speakers who have
made a study of the coal situation in
the United States will be present on
each evening during the convention
to address the members of the asso-
citation and their guests on the sub
ject of fuel conservation.
/ Already the local committee is
working hard to complete the ar
engagements and if their plans go not
each night. Those comprising this
chairman, Frank Quinlan, P. J. Grace,
W. H. Goodrich, Andred Anderson and
Oscar H. Richmond. The officers of
the New England association, head
quarters of which are in Boston,
Mass, are: John Morehouse, presi-
dent; George w. Denyon, vice presi-
George F. Morgan, secretary. Brad
| ford l. Anes of oBston is the chair
man of the general committee.
The average coal consumption in
Bridgeport alone Is estimated at 5000
tons a week in the factories alone and
! it is believed by engineers that this
can be reduced by 20 per cent. as re-
quested by the government provided
concerted movement is made by
those who are in daily touch with the
| situation, namely the engineers. The
exhibit will be one of the largest that
has been shown in this Country. Ac-
cording to present plans 1873 booths
will be erected containing automatic
stokers, fuel gas analyzers, fuel gas
recording apparatus, in fact all the
requirements for the modern power
plant. incidentally home owners who
use furnaces for heating purposes will
also be interested and are invited to
be present.

OUTLOOK

0OOD AoAS ASAO
So far as is possible to make fore
casts, the western railroads will be
able to handle any increase of bust
ness in 1918 which may be offered
them. This welcome news to ship
pers and business men is the infer
ence drawn from a statement made to
the railroad commission of Califor-
MIA by VIM. Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific company.
Sproule, in his capacity as chair
man of the western department of
the railroads war board, is in close
touch with the entire situation and
his views are therefor regarded as of
moment.
After describing the a supply as
the key to the situation, Sproule said
that this supply had been larger than
in previous years, but it had it's limi-
tations as compared with the in
creased volume of national demand.
He thought that in 1918 the company
would be able to handle any increased
volume of traffic that might develop.
Asked as to what the Southern Pa
cific had done to develop it's facilities
to meet the exigencies caused by the
war, the railroad executive caused a
decided impression with the following
statement:
1--WE are now building cars and To-
comotives at Sacramento and Los
Angeles and have increased cur sup
ply of equipment from other sources.
Though we provided terminals far in
advance of our current needs we are
increasing u facilities. At San
Francisco, for example, we have put
into commission our Visitation Bay
yards, built shops and round houses,
car repair and car manufacturing IA
c~ilities. We have improved our IA
clities in Oakland and by re-arrange-
ments kept u terminals abreast with
the business. As an example of what
we are doing to improve track facili-

ties, in the section between Blue Can
yon and Truckee, of about Al miles,
we heightened passing tracks to an
extent that will increase the capacity
of that piece of track 81 per cent.
I'VE increased the efficiency of our
operations on the Pacific system lines
of about 7100 miles, in the six wal
months from May to October in
freight train miles IL per cent; our
venue ton miles 21k per cent; our
cars in service 1917 per cent; our
engines in freight service SO per cent
and decreased our locomotives in
shops 80 per cent. This means that
we hauled a greatly increased amount
Of freight for the public, but the
increase in freight train miles was far
below the increase in the tonnage
handled and was handled in less num-
Der of cars, and that the engines in
service were very much more effective
than previously and we kept our en-
gines out Of the shops.
"In the four months from August
to November, the Southern Pacific
handled 10000 troops and the whole
western department about 1877 900.
Of the 10000, $4,000 were handled by
the Southern Pacific company be-
tween Roseville and Portland free.
This vas done without interruption
to regular passenger and freight traf-
fc.
1--WE obeyed promptly all the orders
Of the railroads war board which GOV.
cred the movement of something owe,
200, 900 freight cars"
Throughout his testimony, the
Southern Pacific president pointed GU,
that the first obligation of the rail.
roads was to help the government in
every possible way to win the war
and at the same time to help maintain
the business activities of the country
by giving an efficient service anc
that these activities were essentia
to national success, in that they re
lated to the winning of the war.

THE LILT OF A LATCH

I've toiled with men the world has
blessed
AS I've toiled with men who failed;
I've toiled with men who strove with
zest,
And I've toiled with men who
walled.
And this is the tale my soul would
tell
AS it drifts Ger the harbor bar
The sound of a sigh doesn't carry
we'll,
But the Tilt of a laugh rings far.
Oh, the men who were near the
grumbler's side,
They heard not the word that he
said,
But the sound of a song rang far and
wide,
And they listened to that instead.
Its tones were as sweet as the tales
they tell
Of the rise of the Christmas star.
The sound of a sigh doesn't carry
we'll
But the Tilt of a laugh rings far.
If you would be heard at all, my lad,
Keep a laugh in your heart and
throat;
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep hold of the cord of daughters
bell,
Keep aloof from the means thai
The sound of a sight doesn't carry

But the Tilt Of a laugh rings far.
