ENGINEER BROWNE FEATURED
 IN SUCCESS MAGAZINE STORY

Success Magazine for March, con- tains the following sketch concern ing Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, written by Albert Sidney Gregg:
 F. D. Browne is railroad-eon- struction engineer with a reputation on the Pacific Coast reaching from the Mexican border to Alaska. He is called "Hurry-Up" Browne be- cause he has demonstrated that he knows how to get things done. His philosophy is as rugged as his job. Here it is in a few sentences:
 When a thing has to be done, do it. If worrying is part of the work, let the other fellow worry It man must do some worrying himself let the worrying take place after the thing has been accomplish ed"
 While employed by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Mr. Browne was requested by the management to build certain extension in the I'm perial Valley, California, in order to hold a franchise This involved the construction of a bridge several hundred feet long and sixty feet high.
 It looks like an impossibility," exclaimed the big boss, but it's got to be done. Do you get me-"
 "Yes, sir" responded Browne looking straight into the eyes of his superior. Il get you and it shall be as you say"
 Browne made good and, there after, was known as 'Hurry-Up" Browne.
 His working force consisted of Hindus, Mexicans and hoboes; his success depended upon his ability to fire them with enthusiasm so they would exert themselves to the utmost
 Browne called the gang together and told them about great race in which they were abou, to en- gage. T:
 By noon, in six days, We must winn' he exclaimed. "Can you do it?" >
 I've are the lads, you know," re- sponded the hoboes, who under stood Americana" better than the rest. But all caught the spirit of the contest, and set out to beat old Father Time ''by noon. in six days"
 Browne worked his men in groups according to nationality. As the undertaking went forward, he put in his time encouraging the work CTS. He did not drive or urge. He used quite a different method to get speed.
 Hey, there Mahomet" he ex- claimed, addressing the leader of the Hindus, 'The hoboes think you are slow! Better watch out or they will beat you"
 And to the hoboes he suggested: Do you want that gang of Orientals to do better job than you noble 
 Nogales, head of the Mexicans, paused a moment as Browne spoke.
 Say, Nogales," asked Browne, did you ever hear the rice eaters say that they could beat meat eaters any time?"
 "We'll show you," responded the Mexican, as he turned and yelled

CONSTANTlNOPLE CENSORS
 KEEP WATCH ON PAPERS

CONSTANTINOPLE. May 26-- The task of editing a newspaper here is exactly four times more diff cult than in an American city, for here there are Turkish, British, French and Italian censors.
 A paper here, after the censors have finished with it, sometimes bears little resemblance to what the editor intended.
 Here are gathered some twenty nationalities, and each requires an organ. The Greeks have seven news papers in their own language, and one printed in French; the Armeni- ans have four in their own language and one in French: the Jews have one in French and two. dailies in Spanish; the French have one in their own language, the commonly spoken and written language of the Levant; and they also pay subsidies to several others. The British have one-the Orient News.
 The Arabs have their organ. So do the Persians. Likewise the Rus sians, anti and pro Bolshevik. Many strange peoples from other lands have their little sheets. The Amerl- cans print magazine of business. and weekly the Far Seas. print ed by the United States navy. The Italians used to have their organ. and soon will have it again. Tne Greek Patriarch has his. There is also in French the weekly bulletin of the Vatican's Apostolic Vicar
 It is an easy matter to print q paper in English or French. How ever, consider that the Jewish paper is printed in Hebrew letters but in the Spanish language; also that the Turkish language requires four kinds of type and has 90 letters to its alphabet. The Arab language is a good deal like the Turkish. except that it is different in accent marks, and the same may be said of the Persian. .-:>.=.=..:
 Now put four censors. each of a different political opinion, onto the job of eliminating the undesirable part of these newspapers, mix with three or four interpreters to each censor, so he will know what it IS all about and the result is a dis tracted lot of editors who print the news when they may.
 The editors claim they often are obliged to print their paper four times over before issuing it. As this country of sunshine and racial heat is also the land of exaggeration, they may not set up their papers so many times. But their printers bills are heavy and without racial pride to call forth supporting funds the papers would, many of them, cease to be published. Most of them Io

worked like mad, sometimes for
 thirty-six hours at a stretch.
 The night before the sixth day was a supreme one. The tracklaying was about all done, but the high bridge had to be decked and the fill completed at either end.
 Up to this time. Browne had not used the Hindus on the bridge. be- cause they were too easily scared. But, as darkness came on he put on gang of Hindus to carry ties and roll out rails on the high struc- ture. The night was black. and the men had to use lanterns. As the sky began to light up, the Hindus be- came panic-stricken. For the first time they saw how far they were from the ground. Some of them fell on their hands and knees in terror, and crawled to the end of the bridge. while others sat down and had to be helped back to safety.
 Why were they brave in the dark and afraid in daylight? Just a state of mind. to be sure. but Browne understood that state of mind, and did not try to use Hindus on bridge work in day time.
 MT. Browne employed much the same tactics in building railroad through a swamp in Alaska, for distance of twenty-three miles, to get around washout in the Nenana river. What Browne proposed to do was radical departure from the accepted standards of railroad build ing. He was warned that graders would be unable to work in the water to throw up an embankment. Besides if they did succeed in mak- ing grade it would be nothing but mud, not stable enough to hold a track. He was solemnly informed that his crane would topple over. But he did not hesitate.
 The road simply had to be built, or the people would suffer for lack of coal. So he went ahead in his own way. First he made cribs of logs. which were swung ahead by locomotive crane. As fast as the logs were put into position, ties were placed upon them and the rails spiked down, the construction train creeping up as rapidly as tne track was completed. Many times the logs and rails would settle into the mud until the wheels were under water. Gravel trains followed closely behind the track gang, and gravel was packed beneath the track to make solid roadDed
 In discussing the management of men Browne said to me:
 We have, perhaps, every variety of human nature in a construction gang, in these days The men come from the ends of the earth. Many of them have seen better days. All are willing, and the majority will do an honest days work. But there are times when they must be stim llated to put forth an extra effort. They cannot be driven, and an order to hurry would probably result in a slowing down. So we must rely on an appeal to pride of race. Every man has it. No man likes to be out done by one of another nationality, especially if he holds the other nationality in contempt. Good-na- tured ridicule will sting a man into action when every other effort fails. After have touched up the pride of the workers a little, and applied ridicule where it will do the most good, notice an additional horse power or two develop all along the line. The Mexicans and the Scandi- navians would rather perspire than be outdone by Hindus or hoboes, and
