PAGEANT OPENS
 C0MMEM0RATI0N
 PILGRIMS SAILING

Southampton, Eng, July 24.-Scenes attending the departure 300 years ago of that little band of adventurers known to history as the Pilgrim Fa- thers were enacted today in a pageant inaugurating a four days celebration of the tercentenary of the sailing of the Mayfower.
 The pageant was preceded by a luncheon including prominent persons in American and British official life and the heads of various Anglo-Amep- jean societies.
 Southampton, desirous of eemind- ing the world of her proud claim to fame as the original port of embark ation of the founders of the American commonwealth, is wing with Ply mouth in mmemorating the event.
 The staging of today's pageant was in presenting:
 John Alden's choice at the an- cient quayside near the west gate through which the pilgrims left be- cause no roadway existed and garbin g the performers in Puritanical dress, an attempt was made to have the repro duction as historically, faithful as pos stble. The gate has remained through the intervening centuries as a verita- ble monument to the pilgrim voyagers.
 Outstanding events of American his- tory, including the Boston tea party, Lincoln making his address at Get tysburg, and American intervention in the recent war were depicted in the pageant.

MILLIONS FOR NEW THEATRE IN
 NEW YORK CITY

New York, July 24-Millions are being spent for new playhouses to 1n- sure New Workers ample amusement this winter, although flat builders cannot get loans for housing the masses of the metropolitan district.
 This was. revealed today when a survey was made of the rush of thea ter constructions, which disclosed that $25,0OO,OO0 worth of new amusement houses were under way.
 Many of the new playhouses are wiping out old flats and dwellings urgently needed for homes, social well fare Investigators declare, and as a result the housing shortage Is be- coming more acute.
 The theatre builders assert that the immense sums pouring into places of amusement are justified as the new construction guarantees them prof itable return on the investment.
 Although there are 800 running theatres in the greater city and 65C in the entire metropolitan district eight new theatres costing more than S12,O0O,00O are planned in Long Acre Times Square district, three in Green wich village, four large houses and g scores of smaller theatres in the Bronx, three in Washington heights and five in Brooklyn.
 There are now .115 theatres oper. ating in Brooklyn.

UPPER PORTIONS
 OF ST.LAWR WRENCE. MUST BE OPENED

Detroit, Mich, July y24-Importance of opening the upper St. Lawrence river to ocean-going vessels as a means of enhancing the worlds food supply was pointed out in a telegram from Herbert Hoover. former food administrator, to the Great Lakes St Lawrence Tidewater congress and read to the congress today. MT. Hoover had been asked to attend the congress but was unable to appear.
 There is absolutely no question that requires so definitely con- structive program as our whole trans portation problem the telegram said. Both railroads and waterways are far behind the productivity Of our country. Agriculture and general dn- dustry are embarrassed by lack of transportation and the margins be- tween producer and consumer are widened extravagantly by failure to obtain proper distribution.
 "In the years to come the country will find that proper outlet for the bulk of it's commodities will lie by water, rather than rail. We need a national study and national pro- gram of transportation development, and such a program will embrace not only improvement of interior water ways, but development of the St. Lawrence.
 "That the ports of the Great Lakes can be put effectively ons seaboard with a comp paratively moderate ex-
 penditure is unquestioned and such a step will improve enormously the
 prosperity of 15 states, decrease cost of distributing commodities aild an- crease returns to the producer. "It is necessary that these problems shall be handled in a definite and CO., ordinated manner, that a positive pol icy be outlined by the government extending over a term of years TOT their complishment and that they be taken out of partisan politics ana placed in the hands of competent managers.
 "As an incident to such a develop ment program I know of nothing more important than consolidation of the many construction and engineer ing departments of the government into one great public works depart ment, probably in replacement of the present department of the interior. Such a department would become the central point for handling these problems, save an enormous dupl1ca- tfon and effort, make possible for ward looking program over a long term of years and reduce the pork barrel to a minimum" -.

BOLSHEVIKI PASS
 POLISH BOUNDARY

Warsaw, July 23-The BolshevilS thrust in the' direction of Sokolka, west of Grodno, has carried them past the Polish boundary line set by the Council of Ambassadors. Along the railroad in this region the Poles are fighting to stem the momentum of the southwesterly drive which Is swinging the Reds toward Poland's capital but in many places the tired Poles are compelled to withdraw without much. resistance in the face of overwhelming numbers of fresh Bolshevik troops.
 The Poles and Bolsheviki are fight ing for Grodno. In a counter attack the Poles captured two of the Grodno forts and the southern part of the town, which was taken in hand to hand fighting.
 In their offensive against Galicia the Bolsheviki are bringing up Tartars and Kuban and Terek Cossacks.
 On the Galician frontier the Poles are fighting with all their available men and materials.
 Lemberg newspapers assert that Bolsheviki officials admit that the present Bolsheviki is final effort which will not continue for more than a fortnight, as the Reds are demora- lized and discouraged One of the Warsaw hints that the chief command is preparing a de- cisive blow at the advancing enemy. Owing to the reports that the Bol- sheviki are approaching East Prussia the German minister has given assur- ances to the Foreign Office of Ger many's continued neutrality. American aviators continue to operate on the southern front, not withstanding the wounding of Maor F. Cederic Fauntleroy and the dis appearance of Captain Merton Coop CT and Captain Arthur D. Kelly, all | members of the Kosciusko Aerial | Squadron.

Trivoulidas like Johnny Hayes works at a job which has nothing to do with developing prowess. He as sists in the kitchen of a big New York department store.
 Previous to this Trivou1idas did quite bit of running in his native country, Greece. Once he finished second in a race held over the ortgi- nal course treklsed by the soldier of Miltiades. Then he served a long stretch in the navy. which probably didn't develop him in the matter of running style. But it fashioned a. pair of sturdy legs and moulded, gen. orally, the. physique which enables him to sustain the wear and tear of the awful Marathon run.
 Greece has triumphed in an Olym- pic Marathon but once. That was when Loues won at Athens in 1896. In the last one at Stockholm in 1912 the first Greek to finish could do no better than 18th.
 Trivoulidas may re-establish the lost prestige of the Greek as a Mara thon runner.

OUR OLDEST TRAuRoAD.

To the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is accorded the distinction of being the oldest railroad in the United States. It has been continuously in existence since 1927, the year it re- ceived its charter. Charles Carroll one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence laid the first rail of this road on July 24, 1928.
 Previous to this time several short however, were small private. enter prises. The first railroad ever built in the United States was completed in 1S27 and ran from the granite quarries of Quincy, Mass, to tide water, a distance of five miles. This railroad was built to supply the granite for the Bunker Hill monu- ment, afd was made of wooden rails laid on granite si1ls, with a strap rail of rolled iron.
 In 1927 second. railroad was begun It was completed in May of the same year. It covered a dis tance of nine miles, extending from the coal mines to the Lehigh river at Mauch Chunk, Pa. The rails were of timber covered with a strap of iron. On this railroad the loaded cars coasted down an incline by gravity and were drawn up by mules.
 The Delaware and Hudson Canal Co.,, constructed a railway sixteen miles long in 1928. This railroad was built for the purpose of trans porting anthracite coal and reached from the company's coal mines at Honesda1e, Pa., to tfdewater.
 The construction of these private roads was followed rapidly by that of the Baltimore & Ohio, the Mo ! hawk & Hudson, the South Caro-
 lima, the Camden & Amboy, the Itha-
 ca & Oswego, and the Lexington & Ohio, which at the end of the year | had ninety-two miles built and 463 1 miles projected. All of these roads ! were operated by horsepower.
 - At the end of ten years there were 1 2S16 miles of railroads in the United l States. From that time on rail-
 road building made rapid strides and l in 1900 there were in operation 230.- o84 miles of railroads in the coun- 1 try. !, The original design of the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad was as a l road fram tidewatar to tha Ohir

 Of course every one in America wants a Yankee shield to first breast the tape in the gruelling Marathon race, the blue ribbon event of the coming Olympics at Antwerp.
 But in the event of defeat being our lot in the classic test there would be few complaining voices raised were Peter Trivoulidas used as the instru- mept of our disappointment. For Peter is one of us'' although he is to bear the colors of Greece on his breast in the terrible run at Antwerp.
 Trivoulidas expects to duplicate, in a sense, the act of the ancient sol- dier of Miltiades who-ran from Mara thon to Athens announcing victory, then to drop dead. He expects to run the same distance to the fraction. And he expects. at the finish, to bear news to Greece not of military vic tory, but one strictly athletic. Being a strictly athletic affair, Peter, unlike the messenger of old, does not ex- pect to drop dead. He's too much of an athlete for that sort of thing.

river. The road was first built of wooden rails topped by iron plates. In those days a speed of nine miles an hour was considered very re- markable. Today 60 miles an hour by railroad is considered as nothing unusual. The journey from New York to Chicago, s11 miles. takes less than twenty-four hours; from Chica- go to San Francisco eighty-nine hours, and from New York across the entire continent, four days and eight hours.
 Fifteen or-twenty years ago the speed of American expresses was from thirty to fourty giles an hour It has now been raised to consider ably over forty. The first locomo- tives used were brought from Eng land The first locomotive made in the United States was built by the West Point Foundry and was first tried out on November 2, 1880. Since then locomotive building has become enc of the most important industries in the United States.
