New Years
Customs in
Scotland

AS In France, so In Scotland. New
Years is the chief festival Of the
year. The eve Of the day and the day
itself are called Daft Days" or crazy
days. And the eve separated from
Its daft" associate Is called Hog
manayT But what this means, no
one seems to know. The application
OF the term is in custom Of children
to enrobe themselves in a sheet and
90 the rounds Of houses on New Years
eve, knocking at the doors and crying
"Hogmanay." In response they al
ways get an oat cake.

BUILDING ELECTRIC
LOCOMOTIVE

Henry Ford Is doing the unusual
again. This time he is building the
largest and most powerful electric
locomotive in the world which, when
completed will be used on the De-
troit G Ironton Railway, the latest
addition to his railway interests and
operating in conjunction with the
Detroit, Toledo& Ironton Railroad.
This sper engine, which is now
under construction in the power
house at the Highland Park Plant
of the Ford Motor Company, pre-
sents most important development
| in the electrification Of steam rail-
roads and at the same time a rad
ical departure in locomotive con-
lstruction.
The locomotive is not only novel
in electrical design, but embodies
many new and important ideas in
mechanical design. In size it will
be prodigious. 1t will weigh $40
tons, will be III feet long, fifteen
feet high and ten feet wide. What
is more interesting still, it will have
sixteen ESQ horse power motors con-
nected to sixteen pairs of driving
wheels and will be capable of haul
ing train Of $50 or more loaded
box, cars.
The engine will not be built for
speed, the purpose being to use it
for freight service exclusively. It's
running speed will be II miles an
hour and its maximum speed IS
miles an hour. -
One Of the unique features of this
great electric motive unit is that it
carries its own. converter station.
This eliminates establishment of
sub-stations along the route, a prac-
tice at present general in railroad
electrification.
l. Through a regeneratiye braking
system the Ford locomotive will
have the ability to develop electric
energy at any speed from the maxi
mum to practically standstill.
Another feature of Importance is
that the trolley voltage adopted for
the. Detroit & Irontons railroad cleo
IRRIGATION, is $4,000 volts. rs cycles,
alternating current, q trolley vol
tage twice as high as any previously
used in this country.

there was a warm glow around his
heart that made him insensible for the
moment to cold and chill.
Within his soul he felt the thrill Of
victory. a victory won over the great
est enemy the world knows. For, once
more his hand had helped to avert the
sword of the grim reaper--his skill
and sureuess Of touch had brought
back another soul from the brink. 1t
had been an emergency call this time,
call that came just as the bells were
tolling the birth Of the New Year.
with the chances 100 to against win
ming the fight, but again science ant
skill had added another victory to It's
long list. George Hamilton woulC
live; his family In the little cottage III
Bower street would have him back
with them before many days and, in
stead Of mourning and sadness, there
would be Joy and happiness in the
little home. "Thank God that I was
able to do It," Doctor Trevor whis.
pered to the skies as he got into his
little car. 'It seems like an omen Of
good to have this happen just as the
year was born"
For this time he knew that he had
won double victory. Fer many years
he had tried hard to interest the oil
and wealthy Mrs. Whiteside in thu
building of new hospital for Carter
to be operated along new and up-to-
date lines. It was sorely needed In
the town and II had been the dream of
Doctor Trevor's life since he had come
there. Several times he had thougit
that Mrs. Whiteside was on the point
Of consepting. but always at the last
she had fallen back on the oft-used
argument that people were just as well
or and got along Just a. well or bet
ter before all these new fandangle
ldess were knovn.
Then last night had ccme the call
from the Hamilton home. For years
the Hamilton family had been count
ed by Mrs. Whiteside as her own spe-
cisl psotsgssG and abe had spoken
her mind quite plainly to Doctor IRE
vor this time: "Thsy say the case
IS almost hopeless-that there is not
the equipment in the old hospital to
hsndie such case ana that he can
not be moved to. the Aty. Doctor Fos-
ter said there was q chance and you
were the only one here thst s9Hld
