The trouble with the game of love
was that it never appeared To develop
beyond The solitaire stage. Dale
seemed TO be playing it alone, al
though he was more than anxious to
entice Martha into the play as an op-
ponent or partner. The two are
synonymous when used in connection
with the game in question.
But Martha WAS business woman
of the first magnitude, if you care to

Martha's office was located. and Dale
was about to drive into it when his eye
caught the police sign:

Dale swung back into the stream Of

A record in railroading that will
stand for some time was made by c..
E. Mccullough, Baltimore, division
passenger agent for the Pennsylvania
railroad who had charge of the spe-
cial train on which Marshal Foch
toured the United States as guest of
the American Legion. The trip ended
at New York Dec. IA, when the allied
generalissimo sailed for France.
Under McCullough's direction the
train moved 5000 miles on the fastest
schedule ever maintained by a pas
senger train, and without an accident
and without ever having been behind
time. The train not only smashed
speed records but also established a
new mileage for passenger trains, hav-

thirty-two states and into Canada.
