The O. S. Mine Sweeping Detach-
nent has just returned from its work
n the North Seas. The ever present
LANCER of floating mines was counter
lcted by the sharp eyesight of the
men who were behind the guns. Their
job was to pick off the mines as they
appeared and explode them by direct
hits. The lives of the other mel;
aboard and the safety of the ship de
pended on their keenness.
A large proportion of the $4,000
mines laid in the North Seas by the
u. S. Navy was destroyed in this way.
This is just one of the jobs that
comes IN the career of a U. S. sailor
one of the experiences that gives him
a grip on himself and makes him a
regular fellow.

hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREBLED SINCE 1888
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet Country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
world. The traffic hauled on the rail
ways of the United States is now three
times as great as it was twenty years
ago. In four months now h railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in a year.
IL the three months alone of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal
ed that of.the whole year of 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads of the country were more
than 100, 000, 100000 a1sRr4 In 1910
they were more than 250,000,000 900,
In 1913 more than 300, 900, O0o, 900 and
in 1918 more than 400, 000, 000, 900. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890, i'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, etc, have been SO marked that
the volume of goods carried measured
In the number of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than five
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1900
hauled 10000 traffic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
ployee. By 1917, the last year of pri-
vate operation of the railroads prior to
the entry of the United States into the
war, that 10000 had been increased
to 100000.
The following table shows the in
crease in efficiency of American rail-
roads since 1900, which enabled the

Sid McLaren was benign idiot.
That Is conclusion not lightly ar
rived at. To appreciate the breadth
OF his benignity you would have had to
know Sid In the days when he was
Old Man Parsons drug clerk; you
would have had to pull him out some
morning at two o'clock to ill the
baby's Group prescription; or to con-
template his homeiy but expansive
smile as he waited upon the three
deep row of people who would line up
for nut sundae after the last per-
Torrance at the Orpheum; or to see
him slowing old Aunt Pliny Flaccus
and dozen bundles into the Berry
Vile hack, which at four promptly
each afternoon took its rickety depar-
ture from in front Of Parsons apothe-
cary shop.
And to sound the depths of his
idiocy you would have to know all the
, circumstances that led to his "up and
leaving" Just as Old Man Parsons
was about to turn the business over to
him and make him the chief benefici-
airy in will. And by rights you
should also know the girl in the case

and the theater is passageway. 1t
is wider than those passageways down
which wash water and offending smells
come. 1t is not so wide as an alley.
A popcorn man has built stand
which makes it blind on the Main
street end, but it is open to Woodlawn
avenue. Between the bare fire walls
the patch Of sky above looks uncom-
mon blue, and of an afternoon 1t is
cool and damp and quiet there. There
is a single side door into the hotel
and a small stage entrance across
from It.
To make short cut, drummers
sometimes come in that way at noon
and bid faithful Fridays park their
sample-laden pushcarts there. And
when, as is frequently the case, the
atrical production finds its drops and
mechanical effects too elaborate for
Simpsons stage, they store scenery In
this passageway. So usually It is clut-
tered I'D like the sidewalk In front Of
a Harlem fiat building on the first Of
October.
Sid McLaren came out this little
door and glanced about like man
seeking air. Inside the boys were
lounging about and smoking and talk
ing. When the clerk handed him the
letter he looked knowingly at Sid. At
least II seemed so to Sid, so he took
his letter and finding some one In the
writing room finally landed on pack
ing case In the far end Of the passage
way-a sort Of hidden solitude which
such letter seemed TO demand.
For Sid had been expecting just the
letter. Now that II had really come
the contents--well, one never can
quite anticipate despair or elation.
Sid read the letter through, turned
it over, gazed at the blank reverse
side, turned II back and reread the
last sentence: despite our patience

ing your employment. We regret that
we will have to ask you TO come In

Rapt in the contemplation Of his
own problem, young McLaren did not

ont from the door at the other side OF
the passageway:
