Shippers Facilities

The efficiency of main track and the
rapid turnover Of cars are governed
in the last analysis not only by the
railroads own sdetrsck and yard IA
cilities, but also by the shippers own

the requisites 70 a freer movemant OF
cars in periods Of heavy trafic an IN

cilities for handling freight when. u ls
delivered TO them. In other words, OF
every three cars actually delivered one
must wait until the shipper can hno
room TO handle II.
Mr.. Loree believes also that the
facilities furnished BY municipalities
and other public agencies for the con-
duct of transportation should be in

Is an individual opinion IN contradis,
tinction TO the opinion OF railroad
president. But coming frcm a mar
who is at the head of one Of the larges'
rail systems in the country and whose
interest in other roads is widely diver

business expansion that must be real

what this means may be ILLUSTRATED
bv reference again to the official hg'
ures on car loadings. II means IN Q
general way that the loadings OF ISl,'

600 600 cars, and loadings OF Goa
which amounted 10 $4,000 cars IN OMe. M

yet finished Great have been the
dangers of clearing the land. sixty
eight men have been killed in this re-
gion alone by accidentally dropping
shells or hitting munitions of all kinds
while working. The total quantity
Of ammunition removed from the
"Red Zone" is close upon 10000 tons.
Whole ammunition dumps, both Ger

moved elsewhere to be exploded. The
remains of villages and towns have
had to be gathered up and siftcd,
roads have had to be completely dug
before being repaired. Tree stumps
have been removed by the thousands.
Two hundred thousand shells alone
have been discovered.
The work is drawing to close now,

Eleven kangaroos have also come.

two thousand parrots, three thou

This list is a partial one. 1t does not

does it note animals sent to other
ports than New York and Boston.
Canaries are the most numerous of
all the bird immigrants to the
United States. A single dealer has
imported as many as 10000 in a
season. but no canaries arrive in the
summertime. The weather is too
warm for them to travel, and if they
did make the trip the moulting sea-
son would make them unfit for i'm
mediate sale. So they are left until
fall. most of them in Hartz Noun
tain villages, where the finest OF
them are now going to singing
school. The large dealers have ca
nary houses as large as our average
school building. and the bird music
students must practice four or five
hours a day. The school is strictly
kept and they have regular in
structor who teaches them to sing
in imitation of the notes he plays
on the bird organ, sometimes using
bells and whistling. Some birds
learn so well that they are kept as
music teachers. In proportion to the
entire number of canaries only a
few are SO carefully trained-per-
haps one in q thousand None of
these college trained canaries is on
the Bowery now.

quite unlike any other buying in the
world. A trip to Latin America will
last three months or longer and one
to the Far East generally lasts about
six months. The first thing a buyer
does on landing is to rent a small
building in which to keep his coliec-
ton till he can ship them out This
may be a matter of many weeks, for
he cannot ship any of them until he

are brought down the Amazon in
small boats by natives who make a
regular business of going into the in
terror after wild live stock. Circling
all the port towns are many dealers
who have animal farms, to which the
catchers bring their stock if they
find no direct buyer. Hundreds Of
natives have no more certain way of
getting ready money than going on a
wild animal hunt.
Some of them will only go along
on hunt organized by another ma
tive, and take no trouble after the
beasts and birds are caught. The
most ambitious have regular wild
animal farms. Prosperous ones live
in pretty cottages with a front yard
full of brilliant wild flowers. The
back yard is full of equally brilliant
wild birds and animals. with small
jaguars and leopards tethered like
dogs and serving as playmates for
the children. The whole family

sections in 1t as a rule-a snake Sec

section.

The Brazilian natives pierce the
ears of this tiny marmoset and give
it brilliant earrings to wear; they
put a necklace to match round its
neck, and it becomes almost as well

children. Buyers who know the
Brazilian back country very well re-

because they really like animals
