vice in the community.

taken in and expended during the
mast wear. As the local post charges
no local dues all the money for nm
apcing the post comes from post ac-
fiyies such as dances. athletic carni-

Yukon to St. Michael and Boring Straits.
 Private interests several years ago constructed an Alaskan link of the line as far as White Horse Rapids under the stimulus of the rush to the Alaskan gold fields. MT. Helper was asked how he proposed to cross the Bering Straits, and he maintained that a trest3e could be built for sum mer use and portable tracks laid over the ice in winter, with proper snow shed equipment. The Trans-Siberian Raflgoad had not been even thought of then, but it has since evolved into a reality. By a line from the Siberian side of the Boring Sea to St Petersburg, as it was then known, and from St. Petersburg southwest through Germany and France to Paris, the old gentleman declared that a11-rai1 travel from anywhere on the North or South American continents to anywhere in Europe and Asia was eninent1y prac- tica;b1e and that science would dis cover a way of overcoming the ob- stacles of weather.
 Helper was told that his scheme was too visionary. Then he sat down and wrote 'FThe Three Americas Railway" and died soon afterward.

New York, March 23.-Just forty years ago, when the thought of the financial district of New York was concerned more with railroad ''wrecking'' than railroad building and frenzied speculation in ''cow trail'' systems was the order of the day, an old gentleman, dby name Hin ton Rowan Helper, walked up and down Wall, Broad, Pine, Cedar and other thoroughfares with a portfolio under his arm and a few letters of recommendation in his pocket seek ing audience with the money kings of the nation
 In a few instances he sue ceeded in face and bushy white hair through the barrage to outer office clerks and secretaries and in gaining entrance to the seats of the mighty, but his re- captions were invariably brief and he was firmly, though politely, ushered to the door. He came to the con clusion at length that he would have a better chance to open his portfolio in some corner of the cloak room of the House of Representatives in Washington, and thither he went, exuberant and hopeful with his great idea-''
 A 2, the statesmen in the Capitol Helper arranged a meeting with the Repub- Iican members of the Committee on Railways and Post Roads and laid bare his scheme. He toId-the com mittee members that it would be but a decade, at most, until the Govern men would be forced to recognize the economic necessity of getting behind the railroads of the nation and of promoting consultations of com betting lines in the interest of public economy and as a step toward the elimination of railroad stock jobbing, which was sure, he felt, aimed at nothing more than an increase in rates that would prove detrimental to the development of the country no news to the ''potent, grave and reverand'' Congressmen; and he then fshed forth his plan.
 He proposed that the United States, Canada, Russia, Germany and France form an alliance for the building of a railroad from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Paris. He pro duced maps and carefully prepared data, accumulated during twenty years, he said, to prove that the 'big idea was not only feasible, but com paratively cheap.
 The scheme comprehended the CO., operation of the South and Central American Governments and of Mex 1co. Lines running north from Buenos Aires could already be utilized and extended up through Central America to connect with the Mexican north and south railroad lines. The Govern ment of the United States, he pointed out, could build a line of railroad from Fl Paso, Texas, to the border of British Columbia and with the CO., oneration of the Dominion Govern men+ could build the line up to the foot of Chi1coot Pass in Alaska Here again the United States could carry +laA 1i-.A -anroas t11a pasS and down the

He Must Be Right

Captain Paul Gordon, now acting in 'gThe Man Who Came Back, was recently an officer in France. On his return he resumed his acting which has always been of the highest order, and new interest centered in him because of his military service. He was one of the first Broadway players to take a course at the Platts- burgh Training Camp.
 Were you shell shocked during the war?'' a Toledo reporter asked.
 'I have been shell shocked" the actor answered truthfully, "but not during the war, although I had my own disabilities. I have seen many cases of shell shock, in France and elsewhere, but I still believe the greatest case I ever saw was up state in New York when a farmer tried to get the right dope on the pair of shell workers who fleeced him.
