There is no more ser ious talk at the present time of closing

Some of the shippers have been very frank with the railroad men and have pointed out to them that the high freight rates and often times slow service has re- suited in much business being diverted to the trucks. Instances are known of shipments from Worcester requiring up- wards Of a week to reach destinations within five miles of Putnam and only 30 miles from Worcester, over a direct line The same is more or less true in instance of shipments from Provi- dence and other points into this terri tory. The trucks have proved depend- able and have furnished a fast delivery service The manner in which they eaten into what is called the "local' freight business of the railroad Is real ly surprising It is understood that the railroad company will seek ways and means of speeding up it's local freight service in an effort to regain business it has lost.

free style champion and record hold
or OF. Great Britain. once more calls
attention to%this remarkable young
mermaid. who has attained interna-
tional rank at the immature age of
seventeen.
While, In fact. it Is our proud boast
that American, girls lead the world in
swimming for women, actual per-
formances in competition indicate
that the Liverpool lassie will prove a
dangerous rival to our fair cham
pions, from 440 yards upward at least.
For some reason difficult to explain,
British swimmers of both sexes are
notably more expert in middle and
long distance work than in %sprinting,
and Miss James is no exception to the
rule She has never beaten ! minute
10 seconds for 100 yards, or 2 minutes
IS seconds for the furlong, while our
national records for women stand at
~ 20 seconds respectively. At these
distances she does not begin to- COM
pare with the leading home stars.
But when it comes to covering the
longer courses there Is a reversal Of
the situation. Miss James has to her
credit official British records of s min
utes Is rs seconds for 440 yards and
: minutes 1S. seconds for 500 yards.
Also. She has done II mile under
standard conditions in 20 minutes 80

American records for the same dis
tances are listed at 6 minutes 20 sec
