Ideals of an Engineer.
Philosophy Developed by Sixty Years
at the Throttle.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Richard
NJ. Shane recently completed sixty years
service as a locomotive engineer In the
employ of the Erie Railroad. The an
niversary was celebrated by the presen-
tation of a medal to him at the Youngs-
town, Ohio, terminal and on the even
ing Of the following day by surprise
party at his home at Cleveland. There
were some impromptu speeches. letter
OF congratulation was read from Presi-
dent F. d. Underwood Of the Erie. and
some gifts to Mr.. and Mrs. Shane will
help them to remember the occasion.
In tho report Of the anniversary in
the Erie Railrood Magasino are two
sentences worth a wider reading In
these anxious times. One Of them was
uttered by a railroad official. Mr.
Shane's superior. and the other by the
engineer himself. In presenting the
medal Manager w. A. Baldwin of the
Ohio Region, Erie Railroad, said, "Mr.
Shane has helped to make Cleveland
and Youngstown and all the cities be-
tween great and prosperous" This
was literally true. since the industries
and population of that section have been
developed almost altogether within the
past sixty years, and transportation has
been the greatest single factor in their
growth and prosperity.
A part of Mr.. Shanc's response was.
IT will go back to my run day after
tomorrow, and will notch >the throttle
as long as am able to lift my hand.
or as long as they will let me-" Every
day that he continues in service will
add more margin to the distinction
claimed for him - tha Oldest engineer

encourage those behind the project

encourage those behind the project
Of establishing retreats for migra-
tory water fowl in their journeyings
north and south in the spring and
fall. 1t has been shown that these
birds, II unmolested, will take up
housekeeping far from the bounda-
ries to which their forbears were
compelled to journey for safety.
Areas of marsh land suitable for this
purpose exist in every State in the
Union. With the beginning Of the
shooting season they could be thrown
open to gunners under proper con-
'ditions and restrictions.
Those who argue that Wild fowl
under the proposed plan would be-
come accustomed to civilization
many of the best retreats are not far
from regions that are well peopled-
and that therefore they would be
killed in great numbers at the open
ing of the season do not know the
amazing intuition of ducks and
geese. Gunners of experience aver
that these birds have a language Of
their own, that study of the calendar
is a part of the education Of their
young. Birds which will swim quietly
away on the approach of man only a
few days before the season opens will
rise in alarm at the first sign Of
human being once the shooting sea-
son is under way.
That this change in attitude is not
altogether due to shooting in the
Leighborhood is the belief Of gun
ners, who say that the same differ
ence in behavior before and after
the opening Of the season may be
noted in a locality where gun has
not been discharged. However tame
wild fowl might seem in one of their
refugees, it is certain that in some
mysterious way they would learn
when the protection Of the law was
withdrawn from them.

A Light Fancy.

Across the brilliant flower beds.
The velvet lawn. the wayside grass.
The dewy field, the dusky wood.
On fairy wings behold 1t pass;
II hovers DER the mossy rock.
Or by the brook In shadow brown,
Then slowly upward out OF sight
1t soars---the snowy thistledown.
These airy things on f,lmy wings,
Each softer than the swans white
breast,
Are souls Of tiny humming birds
That die before they leave the nest
A little while they linger hcre
Among the blossoms erc they rise
On gentle breczes to the sky,
And flutter into Paradise.

Uncle Sans Big Business.

The Post Office Department has just
issued its tabulation of the complete
postal receipts of the 1874 first class
post offices for the year ended De-
cember 81, 1921. At first thought one
would expect to find the ranking Of
cities in the amount Of their post
Office business follow very closely
their ranking in population. The De-
partment's list, however, affords sew
eral surprises.
New York, naturally, leads OF,
with receipts totaling $5s.2S6,927, ex-
elusive Of Brooklyn. whose post Office.
ranking ninth in the country, adds
SIS, ,662, ,069 to the total for New York.
Chicago, although she falls short of
New York's population by more than
half, presents total in postage re-
ceipts Of $42,273,953, t~o-thirds as
large as New York's.
Chicago's high total indicates the
multiplicity Of business exchanges Of
one kind or another between New
York and Chicago. It reflects par
ticularly the tremendous trafhc Of the
lrail order houses, Of which New
York and Chicago are the great CEN
ters, and the volume Of first class
mail which accompanies it, More
over, as large business organiza-
ticn grows up in either New York or
Chicago the first branch ONCE is
usually established in the other OF
these two cities. Their close busi-
ness connection probably explains
also why Philadelphia, although she
has a population OF 1,S23,15s to Chi
cago's 2,701,7o5, has only one-third
as much in postal receipts. Her total
IS $14,972,23s as against Chicago's
record of $42,27S,953.
1t is interesting to note that De-
.roit, in spite of her position as
fourth city in population, follow
ing Philadelphia with 9e3.73o, ranks
tenth in postal receipts. Boston. st.
Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland, San
Francisco and Brooklyn in the or
der named all do larger volume of
post Office business. Detroit'slitotal
is $5,620.3S1. Boston, with less than
four-fifths of Detroit's population,
1oes a business amounting to SILL
696,0S0. This difference may SINH
.arly be explained by Boston's greater
activity as business center.
st. Louis. which ranks sixth in
population, is fifth in postal receipts.
She does $2,6OO,OO0 less post ofice
business than Boston, although she
has $4,000 more population. Kansas
City, which is only nineteenth in pop
ulation, ranks sixth in post ONCE
business. She il followed by Cleve-
land In seventh place. although
Cleveland has more than twice her
population. San francisco is eighth
III postal receipts and eleventh in
population. The other two cities in
the leading ten are Brooklyn and
Detroit.

every unit is derived from coal burn
ing steam plants. f
Power development enterprises in
the Adirondacks and along the Hud-
son and st. Lawrence rivers may
within a few years be able to deliver
water power electricity to Greater
New York In sufficient quantity to do
a great share of the work now done
by the steam plant generators. But
even then It is by no means certain
that the cost OF the current here will
be reduced. Economy and efficiency
in operation of the city steam plants
have reached point whore 1t re-
quires only two and a half pounds Of
coal to generate kilowatt hour OF
electricity. Even with coal at tho
present high price the experts of the
Empire State Gas and Electric AS
ISOLATION doubt the possibility of sue
cessful hydroelectric competition in
New York city.
Not that the last word on water
power electric development In New
York State has been said. Far from
it. Even when all the projects now
in contemplation have been car
ried out the limit will not be in sight.
New York city may have to depend
on the mines for its light and power
supply for good many years to
come. but the white coal field has
still many unexplored regions. They
are only awaiting inventive genius to
open them up. 1t is a rapidly ex-
panding field. moreover, and Greater
New York may yet be included with

Bolshevist Principles.

Two recent dispatches from Eu-
rope require scrutiny together. One
was from Berlin. 1t was an account
of the first formal reception given by
tho Soviet diplomatic mission to the
German and the foreign diplomatic
corps at the former imperial en-
bassy. The dispatch gives this pic
ture OF the occasion:
Twenty green iiveried and brass
buttoned lackeys stood stiffly in the
hall. Forty formally attired buffers
served. There wasn't business

tartan In their attire were not per-
mitted to enter the drawing, rooms.
A buffet table sixty feet
long groaned with variety Of deli
cacies and comestibles that ran the
gamut from caviar to Turkish
sweets"
The other dispatch was from Lon
don. 1t has to do with letter re-
ceived there from an eminent Petro-
grad physician. 1t says in part:
I'VE are living a life Of beasts
and we think only Of food and

Wild Fowl Supply Increases.

Persons living on or near water
ways in the Eastern States north Of
Maryland have commented on the
unusual number of ducks seen NOV
ing about morning and evening.
That the apparent increase is due to
the enforcement OF the migratory
bird treaty act is the belief of those
familiar with the habits Of wild
fowl. the prohibition Of spring shoot
irg having caused the birds to breed
in zones which previously they did
not frequent.

Senator 0Verman of n. c., in an
Attack on Republicanism.
Says Necessary Reforms"
We're Cause of Big Savings.

Washington. July 26.-RepubHcan
claims of economy in federal appro-
priation and expenditures, were de-
MED by Senator Overman of North
Carolina ranking Democrat of the
senate appropriations committee in a
statement today in the senate compar-
ing present and past appropriations.
'AH the big headlines which have
been appearing in the newspapers
showing the great savings made by
the budget system under the Harding
administration were nothing but cam
outage and pipe dreams, said over
man, referring to recent statements
by Chairmen Warren and Madden OF
the senate and house Appropriation
committees respectively
Appropriations under the Repubh-
can administration for the presentyear
were $3.50, 900. 600 more than those
under the Wilson administration IN
1915 for actual running expenses OF
the government excluding wartime
obligations, according to comparisons
presented by Senator OverTnan-
He said it was more fair to compare
with 1929 appropriations with tne
peace-time period of 1915 than 10
make the comparison with approprla-
lions of last year, as was done by the
Republican committee chairman.
cit is true, as stated Dy senator
Warren" said Senator Overman. "that
the appropriations for the fiscal year
of 1928 are s319,OOO.00O less than
1922, but by analyzing this statement
il is found that a greater part or 1t
was on account of a saving by con-
gress- in decreasing the army and
navy and by charging the good ROADS
item to the postal appropriations
of which are necessary reforms
brought about by peace

tions all war aftermath major eX-

Has the state house burned
DOWN." is the first question which a
Topeka newspaper man asks when he
returns to the job after having been
out of town for any length of time.
The ina gination of the newspaper
man can't picture a bigger story than
the burning down of the state house,
and when he asks his question, he
really means, Has there been any big
news breaking?"
The fire department feels much the
same way about it, so when there was
a still alarm at 800 o'clock this morn
ing to No. 2 Hose company-meaning
a telephone call to the effect that the
state house was believed to be on fire,
No. 2 hose didn't let any grass grow
under its wheels getting to the state
house.
No fire could be discovered there,
and a search of the neighborhood con-
WINGED the firemen that the observers
had been deceived and there was no
fire. So the department records show
false alarm"
But gosh" said one of the firemen
who made the run. 1T would have
meant more than a still for No. 2 If
that place had been on fire"
