peeping at him from behind some
bushes and chuckling inside. She was
quite as proud of him as he was of
himself.
She longed to go over to him and
tell him that she was proud of him,
but she didn't. No, sir; she didn't
She didn't go near him. She kept
out Of sight. YCu see, she wanted
him to continue tc feel Independent
She wanted him to feel that he could
stand on his own feet, as the saying
is. She knew what he must be think
ing of her, but this didn't matter.
That little Fox was learning one of
the greatest lessons in life and she
didn't intend to spoil it. The time
would come soon when he would have
to go out into the great world and
take care of himself. with no one
to help him. Mrs Reddy was pre-
pairing him for this.
All this the little Fox didn't know.
He was more than ever sure that his
father and mother had forgotten him.
And from feeling bad he began to
feel a little angry. He would show
them that he didn't need them. He
would show them that he could get
along without them. all of which was
exactly what his father and mother
wanted.

tobacco into his pipe and say moth

that 1t was no use building unless
one could do it we'll
1t was humiliating to John to have
repeatedly to admit that he couldn't
afford to give his darling even the
most modest of houses. And modest
houses began to look very insignifi-
cant, indeed, to a young woman who
was being taken day after day to
see superb1y built ones.
For X. Worthington had an artful
way of telephoning to Merriam that
he had something rather entertain

Merriam would give the poor little
Pumpkin Shell a lick and promise"
and either dump the twins in the
back of her newly acquired car. or
leave them with Susan Sue. while
she dashed off to the other end of the
island to enthuse over some palatial
cottage" that X. Worthington
thought might be reproduced for the
Lindsay family.
For X. Wortningon was shrewdly
aware that Merriam possessed a
wealthy father, and it seemed to him
an eminently proper thing for that
sort of father to build a house for
his young married daughter. But he
annoyed John and fretted John and
worried John. John was fed up

spoke of 1t as casually, but never as

livable sort of shack could be run

And I'VE just about got the

tress. "And when I say quarter.

tinued good humoredly, 'of young

And when the client asked the young

the Britisher would stand for. Final
ly he stammered out something
about a thousand. Dollars or
'P-p-pounds.' gasped the lawyer.
And he got away with it,,
John chuckled with delight at his
own ingenuity in butting into the
conversation.
''The English are rawther gull

his mind. He began to talk learned

EXPERT ADVICE ON RADIO
No. lO2.-Radio Railroading.

For the past few weeks the rail-
in the national mind. What with
strike problems. and other hazards,
the roads find it more difficult than
ever before to put their safety first"
slogan into practice.
The first and foremost thought of
any railroad is to safeguard the lives
of passengers, and while it would
seem that the modern road is equip
ped with every conceivable device for
the safety of life and limb. at the
same time accidents continue to oc-
cur at the most unexpected times
and places.
What is the remedy for this condi-
ton? That is what the big officials
are asking today, and in order to help
solve the problem, they have consult
ed with the radio engineers of Ameri-
ca. After many weeks of conference,
predictions are being made that the
next step ahead in railrOading is to
be radio routine communication be-
tween train and dispatcher.
At any rate the question is being
asked by those who see the future
Significance of the Interstate Com
merce Commissions final orders to
forty-nine railroads to establish au-
tomato train control devices on their
lines before January /, 1925
Trains Ran "Wild-"
The first trains ran wild" with no
other control than that of the engine
man. When two trains used the same
track in opposite directions. the first
control was through synchroniZed
watches. But engineers. like other
men, are only human. and failure of
patience often resulted in head-on
collisions Then came the telegraph
and the red light and its resulting
intermittent communication between
dispatcher and engineer. AS the air
brake was perfected and speeds and
weights increased, the block signal
system, and later the automatic inter-
locking signal system came into use,
Evening star., 1922-09-16

extending the intercommunication be-
tween dispatcher and train.
Now, of course, we have the auto
matte train control to insure that
engineers will do with their trains
what the signals dictate they must do
However. with the best of signal sys-
tens and the most reliable of auto
matte control, the fact remains that
a fallible human being is prOpelling
an engine at tremendous speed with
only intermittent communication
with those who might warn him of
danger or tell him why he should
stop.
1t is generally understood that the
matter Of radio railroading. as it has
been popularity termed. is under seri
! Gus consideration. and the news of
the installation of radio system
should not come as surprise to any
one.
FOrsees Its Success.
There is no reason why the radio
railroad signal should not be as sue
cessful as a similar system now be-
ing used on ships. The Department
of Commerce has been experimenting
with five radio beacons for sending opt
warning signals to ships in fog ard
heavy weather. and SO successful has
the outcome been. that the depart
ment has ordered five more such sta
tions. The new beacons will be IN
stalled at Boston, Nantucket, Cape
Charles, Columbia river and Puget
sound.
Foreign ships are being equipped
with direction finders to enable them
to tell the direction of the warning
beacons. and foreign authorities are
watching America lead the world in
this new development of the science
of navigation.
AT present the five stations which
stand watch on our coast are located
at Ambrose Fire Island and Sea Girt,
near New York. and on the lightships
off Cape HatteraS and San Francisco.
The radio signals are sent by auto
matte devices which operate at regu-
lar and frequent intervals.

What the Young Fox Didn't
Know,
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.


Some things that must be learned by each
Experience alone can teach.
Mrs Reddy.
The young Fox who had been forced
to live by himself had his first lesson
in independence. He had been out by
himself and caught his own food.
Very proud he felt. He had right to
feel proud. To be proud of independ-
ence is always right. There is no finer
feeling in life than the feeling of in
dependence. How that little Fox did
wish his mother could know what he
had done! There wasn't a doubt in
his mind that she had forgotten him
that day. She brought him no food
and he was certain that 1t was be-
cause she had forgotten him. He
would like to show her that he could
take care of himself even If she did
forget him.
But there were some things that
little Fox didn't know Had he known
them he might have had an altogether
different feeling. 1t didn't enter his
head that he had been given a lesson
in the school Of life, but he had. Yes,
sir he had. The night before Mrs.
Reddy had said to Reddy. 1T is high
time that that little scamp of ours
should learn to take care of himself
His brother and sisters have been out
hunting with US every day and have
learned a great deal. while he has had
to stay over at the old house, because
