KNOWS MACHINES HE BUILDS
Head Of Great Locomotive Works Has
More Than Business Acumen to
His Credit.

On a hot day last summer an ex-
press train between Philadelphia and
New York came to jolting halt, says
Nations Business. The passengers
first joked, then grumbled, then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down
from a chaircar and marched up to
the engine, which was the center of
a ring Of passengers.
"What's wrong?" he. asked.
In effect, the engineer said that the
engine had quit and he didn't know
what the several things was the mat
ter with it.
The big man peeled off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort of disappeared
in the interior of the unwilling engine
and the ring of Watching passengers
grew.
Half an hour later he emerged with
a smudged face and grimy hands, and
said, "She's all right now" put coat
and waistcoat over his arm and
walked back to his chair car, wiping
his hands on handful of waste he'd
picked up in the cab.
She was all right, and the man who
made her all right was Samuel Mat
thews Vauclain, millionaire president
of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and
a real boss of their 10000 wOrkmen.

LONGEVITY ON THE DECREASE
University Professor Thinks It Is, and
Gives Some cogent Reasons Why,
II Should Be.

Prof Raymond Pearl Of Johns Hop
kins, after an exhaustive study of life
probability extending through a histOr-
ic period of two thousand years, ar
rives at the conclusion that while
mans possibilities of life at birth and
in earlier stages has been steadily i'm
proving, his expectation of life at adj
vanced age has been steadily decreas-
ing. Comparisons ranging from the
Romano-E Egyptian to the present day
offer statistical proof. The theoretical
explanation is that in early times, with
babies and infants, only the more rug
ged pulled through Nowadays with
increasing care for childhood, the weak
are carried into adolescence and adult
hood. Where formerly only the fittest
or toughest managed to reach the
shady slope of life, and were cOnse-
quently more likely to hang on to ripe
old ages, the salvaging of the weaker
brings them into the fifties and sixties
with less hope of prolonged life. 1t
sounds plausible and may explain the
apparent decrease of longevity. Incl
dentally, his statistics brought out the
fact that while women formerly had
less expectation of life at all ages,
this has been eversed-another blow
to the tradition of 1.-The weaker sex"
Women now appear to have the great
er probability of prolonged life.

Good Work Is Costly.

The remarkable difference in prices
of tennis rackets is not so much due

materials of which they are made as
to the kind and amount of labor on
their making, says the American For

tennis rackets are works of art, and
the skill of the worker is reflected in
