William Elmer, Superintend-

Not long since a news dispatch

quent occurrence with the local Off
cial. There is little in r~ailroading
he cannot do.
For some time there has been con
siderable activity On the main line
of the Pennsy on the part of Off
Gals, with a view to getting at the
real causes for train delays. Re-
ports have shown defective engines,
bad car equipment and other causes
for holding UP trains. This has
| given some information. but not all
that is needed.
Takes Trips Over Road
In order to overlook no detail that
might figure in the running of trains
behind schedule time, S~uperinten-
dent Elmer for some time has been
spending the best part of the day on
his division. One day you will see

same day he will be found on a
cabin at the rear of a freight train.
/, He is also some hiker, according
to reports, and trains have been
watched from along the line, be-
tween stations and at points where
delays are likely to occur. He has
talked with the fiagmen and conduc-
tors; converses with enginemen and
hremen; and there are times when
he makes an entire trip from ter
niinal to terminal.
Corporation Brings Results
In the opinion of Superintendent
Elmer. cooperation brings efficiency
He believes in meeting the men upon
whom the responsibility of hand
ling trains has been placed and get
from them just what happens. He
is out day and night and the re-
suits of this personal contact with
men and trains has brought about
a good record on the Philadelphia
division. Train delays are growing
less frequent daily. Repairs to en-
gines are looked after promptly.
Coal is being saved and there is q
remarkable showing in the economic
handling of material, all of which
in the opinion of the Philadelphia
division superintendent, is provins
a factor in bringing satisfactory re,
suits.

MODERN HOTEL
AT WAYNESBORO
One Large Hostelry May Be

Waynesboro, Pa, July "a new,
modern, ~up-to-date hotel for
W~aynesboro is the big thing thrown
out of the box by the enforcement
of wartime prohibition and the
practical effacement of Waynes-
boro's -four hotels. The Manufac-
turers' Association has taken the
initiative in the project and 1t is

sion. The policy of the commission
in regard to expansion of the pre-
serves, propagation during the next
year and game protection will be
outlined.
1t is probable that speedy action
in regard to establishment of addi-
tional preserves will be taken as a
number of available sites have been
inspected by game protectors and
surveys made. Until the passage of
the new law the commission could
only establish preserves on State for
estry reservations or such lands as
would be donated, which prevented
anything being done in the western
end of the State as there are no
forest reserves of any size in that
section. By h new law the COM
mission can use not over $4,000 a
year of the State hunters license
money for purchase of lands and
may allow mineral and similar rights
to be reserved. There are album
dant funds in hand for the pur-
chases.
The commission has offers of con-
siderable game to stock reserves and
will consider them and also the
plans for auxiliary reserves.
Details to start-Advance details
of units of the Pennsylvania Re-
serve Militia will begin to move to
Mt. Gretna to-day in order to be in

RAILROAD NEWS
Tight Skirts Are Factor
in Passenger Train Delays

In the opinion of passenger train
men on the Philadelphia and Read
ing, and Pennsylvania railroads,
tight skirts on women passengers
have been a factor in upsetting
schedules. "They are worse than
billiards." said one brakeman yes
terday. One official is responsible
for the announcement that since
the tight skirts have been in style
the average train stop is seventeen
seconds longer than when short and
loose skirts were in vogue.
Tight skirts are not SO bad when
the up-to-date coaches are running,
but with many old-time cars in
service, the steps are rather high,
and it is a hard task getting a wo-
man aboard as there is no stool or
porter. In getting off a woman
sometimes throws herself into the
arms of a trainman. In getting
on a train the situation is said to
be even worse.
