RAILROAD AND AUTO
MOBILE DEVELOPMENT

Although little railroad building is
being done. a glance at the map of
the world shows that its civilized por-
lions are not so badly supplied with
this form of transportation. In the
United States alone there are 256. So
miles of track, over which 1850, 900. 900
of passengers and 1888, 900 900 tons of
freight are transported annually. the
cost of this great system being some
21.000 000 600. The railway mileage
Of all the world is estimated to be
about 10000 miles. Effort during the
year has been directed to repairing
the damages and making good the
neglect Xof the war period. The ten
dency in the United States is toward
heavier engines and larger cars.
Weights and capacities are enormous.
The most powerful passenger Iocono-
tive weighs $50 tons and is capable
of hauling II to 16 Pullmans at so
miles an hour on the level; and the
largest freight engine. weighs $50 TONS
and has actually drawn, of course at
a moderate speed, a load of IL 900 tons
on an up grade of two tenths of one
per cent.
Increasing attention is being paid
to the improvement of terminal and
station yard facilities. with view to
increasing the average speed of freight
movement. Port and terminal conges-
ton has reduced the average speed of
movement of a car of freight to the
low figure of 20 miles per day Having
reached the limit of size, improve
ment in the locomotive must be looked
for in the direction of improved eff
ciency,a problem to which increasing
attention has been directed during the
year. There is & tendency to increase
the weights of rails. One hundred
pounds is standard, and many miles
of 130- pound rails have been laid One
leading authority claims that there
would be a distinct economy in the
use of ,2o0-pound rails.
A development full of promise for
safe and economical handling of
freight is the container car, which is
meeting with increased favor both in
this country and abroad. There is a
proposal, which should meet with ev-
cry encouragement, to utilize the con-
tai1er car in conjunction with the mo-
tor truck by building the cars in such
units as viii match the dimensions Of
both freight car and motor truck.
There is great promise of saving OF
both time and money in the prosecu-
ton of this method. The development
of the motor truck goes on anace, apd
it is significant that the two greatest
engineering projects for facilitating
transportation, the Hudson river
bridge and the San Francisco bay
crossing, have received their greatest
stimulus from the enormous develop
ment of automobile travel and motor
truck transportation of freight The

OLD GUARD PLANS TO GEORGE
OR PUNISH PRCGRESSlvES

The republican reactionary bosses in
congress are admittedly devising ways
and means to coerce the progressive
members of the agricultural bloc who
rebel against voting for major admin
istration measures.
OF all the reactionary republican ad-
administrations the present one is per-
haps the most reactionary. Special
privilege has been re- throned and ev-.
cry effort is being made by the admin
istration to deliver in the passage of
the F'ordney tariff bill: carpet bag
ism has been revived in the south by
the appointment Of late arrivals from
the north to postmasterships; perni-
cious craftsmanship is likewise being
rewarded through determinations
against ex service men, and now the
reactionary leaders are getting out the
rack and thumb screw and other in
struments OF tourture figuratiyely
speaking, of the political inquisition in
order to compel the liberal and intel
ligent element to accept the dogma OF
reactionary faith.
The admission that such plans are
under way is made by Representative
Tess, Ohio, chairman of the repub-
Attdtla FtODSltSS4Ofl1la III cfi
interview with j. Fred Essary. Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun.
The plans include two dire threats
one to deprive insurgent members of
patronage, and the other to withhold
campaign funds when the insurgents
stand for reelection
In the first case. according to Mr.
Essary, who is one of the most reliable
and able of the many reliable and able
correspondents in Washington, Sen
ator LaFollette of Wisconsin has
not been recognized in this distribu-
ton of patronage in his state, such as
judges. attorneys, marshals and col
lectors. 1t is understood that the
postmastership patronage has been
taken out Of the hands Of the rebel
Hous Wisconsin representatives and
turned over to Senator Lenroot
Chairman Tess in his interview is
quoted as saying:
1T is true that the members of our
executive committee have under con-
sideration now a proposal that cam
paign funds be withheld from repub-
leans who will not stand with the
on party measures. fo4
the most part republicans who voted
with the democrats against party
measures come from districts that are
either normally democratic or repub-
lican by small majorities.
"On the other hand most of the
members of our executive committee
come from the big contributing states
like New York, Pennsylvania. Illinois
and Ohio. They do not feel that the
funds collected there should be sent
into other states to help elect men
who will not stand with the party
af1er they have been elected.

REvlvING THE CHIMNEY
SsME Pu

The custom of engaging the services
OF a chimney sweeper from time to
time is an ancient one that is honored
nowadays more in the breach than
otherwise, although the employment of
such chimney cleansers has been re-
vived in some cities, notably st. Jo-
seph, Mo, where, about two years ago,
an individual was appointed whose
duties require him to sweep and
clean in a faithful manner once in
each year all chimneys within the
limits of the city, which have been ia
use at least six months prior to the
date of such cleaning" He is also re-
quired to report to the superintend-
ent of buildings any defective fues
encountered. The superintendent no
titles the owner. who must repair the
defective f1ue within "a hours or be-
come liable to fine ranging from $40
to 500.
Owners or occupants of buildings in
that city are required TO have their
chimneys and fues cleaned at least
once year, the penalty for not doing
so being fine of not less than IS or
more than $40. The chimney sweep

HEREDITY AND HEALTH
Rx Ad Carter

OF all the considerations that de-
termine health, heredity is the one
unalterable factor Although certain
characteristics are obviously heredi-
tary, such as complexion, height and
mental and physical traits in great
variety, yet in the past heredity has
been very little understood. In con-
sequence, it has served too often as a
scapegoat for faults and faiIings not
beyond an individuals control, but it
is now possible to predict with a high
degree of accuracy the inheritance of
certain characteristics.
Many diseases. formerly considered
hereditary because their actual causes
We're unknown. are now known to be
communicable. Thus. it is now known
that tuberculosis is not hereditary, al
though little children may be infected
by tuberculous parents. No germ dis
eases are inherited in the strict sense
of the word but a baby may be in
feeted with syphilis before birth If his
father or his mother has the disease
It is true, however, that certain It's
sue weaknesses of the body seem to
be hereditary, and in consequence one
family is more susceptible to digestive
disorders, another to diseases of the
lungs. a third to deafness. and so on.
Moreover, general low vitality may be
inherited. It should be emphasized,
however, that hereditary weakness
does not inevitably lead to disease.
Many persons have succeeded in pre-
venting the development of active dis
case by guarding against strain in
directions where they are weak by in
heritance.
OF all the tissue weaknesses that
may be inherited. defects Of the nerv-
Gus system are the most serious. Nerv-
Gus disorders Of every degree Of Sc
verify, from slight nervous instability
even to insanity may result when
these tissues are defective; but it is
now recognized fact that nervous
disorders in many cases can be pre-
vented from developing with the right
care and favorable environment
Feeble mindedness, another condition
due TO defective tissue, is known to be
inherited in the majority of cases, and
in all cases is incurable
Where different members of the
same family have decided tendency
toward the same type Of disease, great
care should be taken to avoid undue
strain in this direction If it should
happen to be a germ disease. such as
the throat, every precaution should be
taken to avoid exposure. With proper
care given in time, there is no reason
why these tissue weaknesses should
necessarily lead to the disease itself.

The SEASONS.

Small wonder that the poets sing
In eager notes their praise of spring
IT'S then we read of curves and shoots
Displayed by promising recruits
Summers approach the rooters see
With uncontrolled hilarity;
The race is on and every day
This baseball teams proceed TO play
A pleasant season IS the fall
Perhaps in fact the best OF all;
For though the pennant battles done,
The series then is lost or won.
For the winter there Is no excuse;
II isn't OF the slightest use.
And fans agree II is shame
That it should block the national
game.
