waste. The field Is still open to the

cut averages l5,0O0,OOO.OOO feet,

But we cant continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gines more cars, more tracks, more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power Of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

HOW SHIPS GET LATE MAIL
AirpIanes Used to Overtake Liners and
Drop Bags While the Vessel Is
travelling.

Experiments have proved 4 entirely
practicable TO deliver belated transat-
lantic mail steamers at sea by air
planes.
The ship may have taken It's dcpar-
ture several hours previously. yet the
flying machine, with speed OF 100
miles or more an hour. can easily catch
up with Ii and put the mail aboard.
A plane of the '"fying boat" type Is
used for this purpose. and the water
proof mail bag Is held I'm chute on
the side of the hull. The aviator flies
over the ship and the rigging en-
tangles long line dropped from the
plane that has grapple tails on It's end.
This line Is attached 20 the mail bag,
which. when the grapple tails catch.
is jerked out Of It's chute, falling into
the sea.
IL Is then an easy matter 20 haul
the mall bag aboard, while the steamer
continues its uninterrupted voyage.
