When the Macmillan expedition referred to in
the news dispatch printed above left on June 10th
from Wiscasset Me-, headed for the Arctic regions,
he had as valuable part of his equipment several
storage batteries.
These storage batteries, which are Exides, will
enable members of this expedition to the Arctic
region not only to maintain communication with
the rest of the world through their radio but will
provide them with many of the conveniences and
comforts of our civilization.
Besides the ship Bowdoin, which carries set
of EXIDES used for lighting and radio operation,
the ship Peary, the new member of the expedition
and three airplanes are Exide equipped The En-
IDES on the air planes will furnish current for igni
ton and radio Storage batteries viii also be used
in the operation of the delicate scientific instru-
ments which Macmillan took with him.
We believe there is nothing we could add that
should convince battery users of the merits OF
FXTDE BATTERIES.

beneht and for that Of the public,
first. by working together to prevent
accidents. That proved so satisfac-
tory that soon they were working to-
gether in other phases Of their mutual
affairs.
Not small part Of the movement
toward greater efficiency and better
handling can be traced to wise pro-
vision for the health and happiness of
railway workers and their families.
Shorter hours, better loan and build
ing societies, the announcement and
the providing Of facilities for sport.
and, finally, the active cooperation of
executives has created an esprit de
corps" which now benefits public and
workers alike.
Travel has been made safer by a
reduction of nearly 40 per cent in
killed and injured since 1918 despite
a great increase In trafic in that
period. Employees have invested mill
lions of dollars in the stocks of the
roads on which they work: and, not
unnaturally, being interested in divi.

GRUVER ADDRESSES
"Y REALTY CLASS
Tells Students of Necessity
for Care in Selection of
Site for Construction.

The vital necessity of a proper Sc
lection of the site for new construc-
tor and the proper and careful plan.
ming of new houses was stressed by
James s. Gruver, local builder. at the
weekly lecture last Tuesday night OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. real estate class.
Mr.. Gruver in his lecture on The
Selection of a Site and the Building of
House" urged that a proper amount
of care be given to the site under con-
sideration by prospective builders. He
emphasized that sites suitable for
business property, detached homes,
semi-deteached homes and row houses
are entirely distinct one from another
and cannot be blended for use.
The speaker said that il is very i'm
portant to survey the conditions and
location of the site and 10 be sure that
If improvements in the way of drain
ase. electricity. gas. etc, were not al
ready on the grounds that they would
~ least he easily available. Proper
title is A prime necessity, the speaker
said
At the same time he pointed out
that the location Of the site and the
people of the neighborhood should
govern very largely the type of dwell
ing to be erected
While Mr.. Gruver fully agreed with
the Fine Arts Commission on the ques-
ton of the abolition of porches and
the construction of parapet walls he
declared that in certain sections of
the city it is almost impossible to
sell property unless they have porches.
In dealing with the question of
innovations in building the speaker
stressed the necessity of care, quoting
the motto. BE not the first by which
the new is tried. vet not the last to
cast the old aside
The importance of good material
and good workmanship is one of the
main things to be considered in the
erection of all types of houses,
whether they be small or large. The
speaker told of many interesting de-
tails which face the prospective opera
tive builder.

Author Of when Railroads w.r. New" E

What has become of the railroad
problem" about which so much was
heard prior to Midsummer, 1928?
The doctors could not agree on what
the railroad problem" was. but 1t is
understood to have been serious.
Yet, despite the handicap of this
mysterious malady. the railroads NOV
ed tho largest tonnage in history in
1928 without car shortage or delay
due to any fault Of the carriers. In
the first ten months of the current
year the railroads have moved nearly
six hundred thousand moro carloads
Of freight than in the corresponding
period of the record year, 1928. not
only without delay, but with surplus
cars and locomotives In good repair
ready for service, but idle for lack Of
freight.
In explanation 1t is pointed out
that billions of dollars have been in
vested in new equipment and other
facilities. That helped, but It Is more
enlightening to hear that the rail
roads have learned much about CO.
operation. Railroads and shippers
