American railroads, including those
in Delaware, are getting into good
running order, says the Wilmington
Evening Journal. They have made
wonderful gains since Uncle Sam
turned rails and cars back to their
owners. Out of the fearfully costly
congestion has come order. The roar
of railway chaos has given place to
the hum of industry. The brakes are
off, and American railroads are re-
spending. These ribbons of steel
again are rushing, throbbing arteries
of trade. For which the nation may
give credit to private initiative. "In-
creases in railway efficiency have been
effected so rapidly within recent
weeks" says the Railway Age, "that
the railways probably are now NOV
ing more freight than they ever moved
before at this time of the year."
During the first week of August,
7O,077 more cars were moved than
during the same week of 1919. The
movement of freight cars during that
first August week exceeded the first
week of June by 20 per cent. Up to
"a, the roads moved 100000
tons more of coal than were handled
in the same time last year. Septem-
Der came in to find the roads dump
ing more than 1000 cars of coal at
Lake Erie every day, enough coal to
guarantee the Northwest its winter
fuel supply.
Since the government quit railroad
ing the car mileage has been increased
% to 26 miles, and now the private
owners have set the goal at 30 miles.
Each mile added is equivalent to put
ting into operation 10000 new cars.
Yes, the removal of government Oper-
alton has had the same effect as TAX
ng off the brakes. Railroad wheels
low are turning more easily, faster
md to better purpose. -

quantity of grass into the digester,

1t has become automatic in the pa
per industry that there is no substi-
tute for spruce wood in making paper
pulp. And so they have received
with great deal of skepticism the
recent announcement that a satisfac-
tory paper can be made from the saw
grass of Florida, and that a practical
method of production has been devel-
Oped, says the Popular Mechanics.
Engineers connected with the en-
terprise say that a preliminary sur
vey reveals that there is in Florida
nearly 100000 acres of saw grass.
This can be harvested twice a year,
yielding 20 tons of paper per acre to
each cutting. 1t woul dseem therefore
that Florida might eventually furnish
paper to the whole world, for it is
claimed all grades of the commodity
can be made from the grass.
at is not surprising, in the light
OF past experiments, that relief to the
present paper situation should come
from such a source. Fiber suitable
for paper making has been produced
from a number of plants, among
them corn and cotton stalks. But two
Chief difficulties stood in the way of
commercial exploitation of the pro-
cess. In the first place there is not
a sufficient supply of any one mater
ial, and it is too expensive to gather
corn or cotton stalks from a wide
area. The second, and perhaps the
most important difficulty is that, be-
cause of the material is not compact,
only small amount can be placed in
the pulp "digester'' at one time, max
ing the production very expensive.
" The first objection-that of in
sufficient supply at first applied even
to saw grass, for although there is an
enormous quantity, it grows in almost
inaccessible swamp lands, and cannot
be harvested by ordinary methods.
With the later development of a spe-
cial harvesting machine, model of
which has never been successfully OPP
Grated, -fhis objection seems to have
been eliminated This machine is an
amphibious modification of the wheat
harvester that works equally well on
land and water, its cutter bars being
so arranged that they can be lowered
beneath the water as much as four
feet, if necessary.
"The second difficulty-ina5ility to
get a sufficient quantity of material
into the digester-has been removed
by an entire revision of the pulp
making process. Different chemicals
are used, and in order to get a large
