Our Business Prospects
in Southern MARYLAND
BY BILL PRICE.

Good news for Washington's business future comes
from all Sides assuring steadily increasing retail bust
ness from constantly widening territory.
The latest development is the granting OF permission
by the Maryland Public Service Commission for the
extension Of the Washington, Brandywne and Point
Lookout railroad from its present terminus at Mechan
icsve ST. Marys county, to Esperanza, at the mouth
of the Pauxent river opposite Drum Point, the finest
harbor for ships of great size in Chesapeake bay Solo
mons Island is in the vicinity
Washington motorists are familiar with all this
gion and they visit it by thousands each year. When
the proposed road is completed it will bring Washing
ton into comparatively close touch with Drum Point,
which may become important center for shipping
As now contemplated, the road, part Of it. may be
motorized and operated by gasoline From Washington
the line would run to Bowie, Md, then turn east to
Brandywne the Popes creek line, as it is called;
thence to Mechanicsve and in southeastern direction
to Esperanza, the plans calling for later extension to
Point Lookout at the junction Of Chesapeake bay and
the Potomac river.
Washington is fast developing her business connec-
tons with southern and tidewater Maryland through
the fine buses of the Tdewater lines These buses
operate daily through of the territory to be given
new railroad connections but they do not yet travel the
main highway leading to Solomon's Island. The new
developments will doubtless enable cooperation be-
tween the two companies that will result in great bene
fits to Washington in enlarged communications with
southern Maryland. .s..+
When the extension from Mechanicsvie is made it
would not be necessary, in going to Esperanza, to
travel around by Bowie The buses of the Underwater
lines could take passengers to Brandywne and transfer
to the railroad the transfer could be made further
along at Mechancsville.
The proposed development will be watched with in
terest by Washington business men, who have found
that the fine service of the Tdewater lines has done
much in bringing in closer touch with southern
Maryland people, who realize that this is their log
cal point Of trade With the expansion of connections
into this historical region the trade of Washington will
rapdly increase It ia steadily increasing now with the
putting on of new buses. Given proper encourage
ment, the Tidewater lines will soon southern

Il Mayor of Youngstown, Ohio,

Quit drinking free liquor or
you'll lose your jobs.
According to the Volstead law
citizen has the right to give drink

his guest. According to the Mayor
of Youngstown, the guest, if he hap
pen to be a policeman, would have
to pay the host for it.
That is what the Mayor of
Youngstown said. Of course it is
not what he meant. But when

Short Trains Us. Long.

TT ENRY FORD, wi no has made a
great success of the bankrupt
- little railroad he took over a
while ago, and shamed the other
railroad managers of the country by
doing it, has suggested that rail
roads could operate more efficiently
and cheaply if they would Tighten
their equipment. He expects to
tighten the engines, make shorter
trains and run more Of them.
Commissioner Esch, Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, at a
hearing held before that body on the
question of reducing railroad rates,
asked S. M. FELTON,, president of the
Chicago Great Western, this ques-
ton:
Do you think you might cheaper
your operation by trying this plan
out7
Mr.. FELTON, replied:
The experiment would be contrary
to the theory Of railroad progress.
At first blush, it would appear
that Mr.. FELTON, was right. And yet
practical freight conductors, brake
men and engineers, who have oper.
ated both kinds Of trains for many
years, have often told us that the
long, heavy train is by no means
economical in many important re-
spects. 1t makes greatly for the ex-
traordinary slowness with which
freight is moved. The average mile
GER hour movement of freight on
American railroads, counting in ter.
minal delays, is probably slower
than the time made by Adams OK,
team.
Much could be learned about prac-
deal raihoading directly from the
smploEsa
