II ONDON.-In Il little suburban ou.-
I post of London there is ram
shackle barn of building that con-
tains what its owners declare will revolu-
tionize transport if it is ever put into
lfc-sized operation.
Revolutionize is word that is on many
tongues in these rather hectic days, but
these people have some reason for using it.
/ had the pleasant experience of sitting
on a chair on moving railway truck Of
about half-size dimensions and Of being
transferred by electricity from that truck
to another moving truck.
There was no jar or jolt in being so
moved, and to show the smoothncss of the
operation a glass Of water was placed on
the chair had occupied and the operation
repeated. Not drop of the water was
spilled.
There is no intricate mechanism involved
in this process of transferring a load from
one railway truck to another. So far as the
eye can tell, the load simply slides from
one truck to the other of its own accord.
But, OF course, it does not do this. Elec-
tricity is the power that turns the trick.
one feature of an entirely new system OF
railway transport. 1t is the warehouse
feature, or one of two or three warehouse
features.
The whole system involves these basic
principles:
1. All freight to be shipped in "con-
tainers."
2. All freight tracks leading into a given
city to enter one warehouse, tracks and
building for which, in London, it is COM
puted would occupy not more than so acres,
instead of the approximately 800 now so
used.
g. freight delivery system for carloads
based upon car bodies so built as to be de-
tachablc from railway trucks and inter
changeable between all railway trucks and
between railway trucks and automobile
chasses; and based also upon the "con-
taincr" principle of shipment
A. delivery system for small shipments
in which distribution would be done in
three dimensions instead Of two, and in
which the automatic transfer of goods from
one moving truck to another would be used
IN sorting goods upon arrival at the ware
house, or clearing house, as the inventors
call it.
The inventors have patented their ap-
paratus and principle and succeeded in
having a Parliamentary committee con-
duct an investigation. They are now agi-
tatng for adoption of the new system in
London.
If the new system of transit were in
operation in London this is what would
happen to a carload of goods coming in for
delivery to n great department store:
1t would enter the clearing house, II great
crane would reach down, lift the load from
the trucks, deposit it on an automobile
chassis md speed on its way te the con-
sgnce.
If this carload we're coming into London
TO be transferred TO another railway far
shipment TO another point in England, the
great crane would simply pick that load

In the Name of Victory

Never has the city been stirred az it
was stirred yesterday. We have seen far
more picturesque parades. We have
never had so moving a scene, so emotional
an appeal. Upon the memories of all
who witnessed that khaki stream of our
own fighting men there is an unforget-
table picture Of hcroism and sacrifice
and victory.
It was a parade Of victory In name;
and so it was, in fact; but not Of easy,
trumpeting triumph, as some at dis
tance~ conceive Of war. The fag-draped
caisson with it's wreaths Of flowers spoke
more eloquently in that hushed street
lined with thousands than could any
obsequies. Grafton, anthem, prayer were
there. 1t was street Of tears Tor the
dead while that memorial passed by
the dead fallen in the name of vcory,
who never die.4slst 81 Ss4srs4;
The wounded, Hike all our American
wounded, were gay enough to shake the
crowds out of their grieving and stir
little of the cheer too deep for utterance
that we feel for these men, struck down,
who refuse to admit defeat. 1t is long
debt we owe them and beyond all paying.
fuS NAV we never forgetl
There was not much mark OF war about
fha rest of the professionally helmet
and bayonet. Neither machine gun nor
neld artillery punctuated the line. It was
simply our men, who had gone forth to
war and were now come back, our own
men, that filed the avenue and that we
cheered blindly, happily, hoarsely, as we
rad never cheered before. What they had
risk7d, what they had passed through,
was fresh in our minds from that silent,
honored ca!sson ard the flag Of many
ssars These marching men had fought
and stumbled and fallen and fought Oh
to victory and safe return. From the
valley Of the shadow of death they came
20 our valley Of sunlight and flags and
cheering millions.
Al! but the greatest adventure has been
theirs The mark Of their sacrifice was
on their faces, and, plainly something Of
lts grandeur in their hearts--heroes all.
Ne can never praise them enough. We
can never, in large or small things give
them their full due Of honor. We can
only, in this hour of conmemoration, ex-
press our pride and thankfulness in their
valcr, and dedicate anew our city and
ourselves to the cause Of freedom, for
which they fought and bled and died

of minutes. If these loads are for, local
delivery they go to auto trucks instead. In
cases where there are only partial loads,
where there only small parcels for
individual addresses, loads are made up by
routes. The load then goes to an auto
truck and the truck goes on the route. This
is possible because the plan contempates
the inclusion Of city delivery in the gen
eral scheme. 1t becomes the business of the
railway to deposit freight at your door in
stead of at the station.
When the demonstrator tells you how
much of its lifetime the average freight car
spends in loafng or in being switched, you
gasp for air. Then he tells you that under
the proposed system there would bo no
appreciabe dlencss Of equipment any
where
Shipping in Containers would make the
proposed system of handling possible in
the case Of many commodities which could
not be so handled as they arc now shipped.
"contaner." the demonstrator tells you,
is "anything that contains" wl-.ch may
sound foolish, but which is sensible, never
theless. It may be rope around car
load of piles, it may be box. it may be
crate, or it may the body OF car. Every
thing must be in some kind Of "contancr'
that makes rapiG and easy handling posi-
bic, and that makes possible, in bulky
shipments, handling by cranes The idea
is that everything must be SO packed asto
accommodate itself to the distribution By

Farming Preserved in Pictures

Some crank on literary specu- lation once said that if every copy of the Bible and every copy of Shakespeare in existence were de- stroyed, it would be possible the next day to reproduce them, let ter perfect, from the memory of men and women. Probably he would depend almost wholly on mental storage of ministers and actors. Following out the analogy, it is hardly too much to say that if all knowledge of agri- culture were plotted out of the minds of men tomorrow, it would be possible to reconstruct good agriculture from the pictures in the possession of the Unired States Department of Agriculture
 The Section of Illustrations turned out, during the last fiscal year, 1S1, ,000 pieces of photogra- phy. The subjects ranged from odganisms so small that they had to be photographed through a high-power microscope to fumiga- tion tanks large enough to admit a whole train of freight cars at once, from a fever tick fastened to the hide of a COW to magnifi- cent stretches of forest and pas ture caught from the tops of high mountains. And the Section of illustrations has been at work for 21 years. It works with the pen cil and the crayon almost as much as with the camera. It is not do- ing all this work, let it be under stood, on the far call of, rebuild ing agriculture if it should be de- stroyed, but for the purpose of in- structing the public, day by day, in the art of peter farming.
 All these pictures are used in educational work of some kind. They are printed in bulletins, on

RECORDS GROWTH OF TREES
oendrooraph Furnishes information of Much Practical Value to Stu
 dents of ArborlcuIture.

The dendrograph is new instru- ment devised by the department of botanical research of the Carnegie institution for recording growth and other variations in the dimensions of trees. Two types of the apparatus are now in use. Both employ a belt of wooden blocks hinged together and fastened securely as a supporting belt around the trunk of tree. In one type. series of plungers in contact with a number of selected points around the tree carry on their outer ends an en- circling wire. Any change in position of the plunger moves the encircling wire and the motion is recorded by pen on suitable revolving drum. The second type carries yoke which en- circles the trunk of the tree, with four points of contact. Changes in volume of the trunk are followed by differ ences in distances between the con- tacts, which are duly recorded as above. These devices furnish an in- teresting record of the daily and sea sonal changes in the size and form of tree trunks.

FEARLESS KNIGHTS AND FLAW,

Not as the iaureled legions who sie" ioi

 for the joys of home There are no eaptives with them' no
 Caesar at their head, With lions padding softly, to fill the
 men with dread. Their victor hands are guiluess, they've
 made no peoples slaves, They're whlte-souled as the children they
 loved across the waves. No city less a city that they were cap
 tains there; hss' asfsse- -s.l They passed, but there's no wailing or
 women on the air. Heed ye the babes af Flanders, the aSed
 of Lorraine They pray the saints in sadness our sons
 may come again! s They used the might of heroes, but not
 the hate of Hulis, And Frenchmen loved their laughter as
 Yandals feared their guns. You've seen their smiling faces, you've
 met their eyes that seem Somehow to hide behind them the shad-
 ows of & dream; You've watched them swinging past you,
 crusaders that we hail, As fearless knights and fawless who
 saved the Holy Grail. You laud them for their valor, but this
 your greatest pride In conquering a Caesar no Christ they

immensedeal of work done by sub- ordinates. The mark of good ex- ecutive, whether in the household or in the nation, Is the the readi- ness to trust others, to select the right head or hands for certain task, lay out the general outline of it, and then leave the head and hands to get 1t done in their own way. For some people, even for some who have other important elements of leadership, that is inn possible. They not only plan a general scheme of what they want done; they must be daily, hourly, experimenting it, giving hint here, suggestion there, criticising and commenting, not in a spirit, but with an intense anxiety that every detail should be carried out just as they would carry 1t out themselves. Mean while the larger function, which they should properly perform, is i likely to be neglected.
 Usually, the best way to do our own work is to let others do theirs Youths Companion.

DOING OTHERS WORK

The world could hardly get on without those who do the work of others as we'll as their own. How many men and women are here, whose shoulders are bent with their burdens, who yet have to take on a daily load of what be- longs to others and get no credit for 1t. How many make a good showing and are praised and pet ted and advanced, who yet really depend upon the silent watchful- ness of some one that stands ready to fill the little gaps and smooth the rough edges.
 Vicarious labor of that order is not to be blamed or criticised by. anyone. But there is disposition to do others work that is less com mendable. We all know the ordi- nary meddler, who neglects his own taskin life, if he has any, to watch his neighbors, to comment to find fault, to tell how this should be done or why that should be undone, without any proper knowledge of the condi- tions of labor, or the means of ac- complishments, or the object to be achieved. Sometimes persons of that sort even kindly volunteer to do the work themselves and to do 1t better with results that we all know and do not care 10 dwell up on.
 There is, however, a much more subtle form of the tendency.to do others work than this mere un- called for 1neddling, a tendency that is really more harmful pre- cisely because it springs from the desire to help and from sense of responsibility for what is actually done. It is seen especially in peo- pie who have, or ought to have, an
