and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world
He saw the foreign roads = in England and
France, the best in Europe - and in other Con-
tinenta countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sghted and courage
Gus investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
we'll done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
/. must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $50 900 900 900 now invested in our
railroads. there will have to be added in the next
few years. to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings 49, and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds Of many thrifty citizens the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty Of the best work.
men = in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men = the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

Foundation of Actual Peace Congress Will
 Soon Be Laid
Continued from Page One. ]

Organization work has taken the Americans a month, and even now they are only partly ready. The French, of course, have their organ ization on the spot. The British have brought over from England highly developed machine which is virtually ready to function. The Japanese will have to organize after reaching here, as will the Belglans and other minor belligerents.
 These preliminaries will not neceS- sarily delay the informal conversa- tions, but they will hamper the work ing of group plan" conferences by which the principal belIigerents ex- pect to thresh out points with inter- ested neutrahs, non-belligerents or minoF nations engaged in the war, and reduce their results to memo randa which are to go to the peace congress for inclusion in the final set clement,
 President Wilson's feeling, on coming to Europe as early as he did, was that all the entente governments had made their preparations to get down to talking peace. He and the American commissioners have been disappointed by the delays, The American delegates are understood
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-10

to feel very strongly that unless plans are made to permit the activities of peace to be resumed in warning coun- tries, the demobilization of their armies may bring unwelcome pro- blems.
 The return of Mir. Wilson 0 the United States will reduce the Ameri- can delegation to four, but it was ex- Plained today that delegations will vote as units, and that the President never had intended to sit coptinu- ously at the peace table.
 All the progress that has been made is since President Wilson's con ferences with French, British and Italian statesmen. These confer ences have approached only broad principles. In the conversations bout to begin the progress that has been made with individual countries probably will be brought into the dis cussion and general agreements sought.

Valuable Brick Material.

The slime which accumulates at the various mines in the Kolar gold fields, in India, is now being mixed with clay and made into bricks, instead of being treated as waste product, as hereto fore. The bricks made iii this way arc said to be superior to those acquired from outside sources and are used ex- tensively in lining circular shafts and other construction work carried on by tie mining companies. Later on 1t is proposed to make fire brick. clay cruci- bles, and artificial stone.-Popular Me- chanics Magazine

Not to perceive is the gift which softens the prospect for man who in his present, in his intimacies, in his necessities, sees more than suits his happiness, but who for his prospects finds radiance only softening and in its mellowing gaining glory, who looks for his greatest good in the west and seeks the deep purple with an illu- stoned souI-Chicago Tribune.

Comb OId ToiIet AdiJnct.

Combs have been used in the toilet since very ancient times. The Greek, the Egyptian and the Roman ladies used them to arrange and hold up their hair; even ladies among the Swiss lake-dwellers seem to have been familiar with them. Some of these were male of wood, some of bone, of horn or of ivory. Speci- mems have often been found in recent years.
