history We have an orchestra com
posed of college students. Hereto
fore our ~orchestras have required
the help of people outside of the
school. We are proud of our orches-
ira and intend that they shall play
for college functions in the future.
We enjoy their playing at our in
formal weekend dances. The orches-
ira is composed of Marcella Lynch,
pianist; Robert Kindschy, trombone ;
Ted Mcneil, saxaphone; John Brown,
xylophone, and William Rafferty,,
drums. In another place the same
paper states that John Brown was
elected yell leader of the Junior class
at a meeting held on February II.
The short course agricultural boys
are now studying weeds. One of the
boys said, "Our lessons will now be
the weeds" Mr.. Noble has been
helping US out a great deal in our
work as he has a large supply of
good pamphlets which the boys have
been using. Mr.. Switzer loaned US
four corn testers and we are finding
out what our seed corn is going to
do when it is planted. The work in
this curse will end April 1.
Sylvester Smith, Keith Riggin,

RAILROADS EFFECT
HUGEFUELS SAVING
Increased Efficiency in Use of
Coal in 1924 Said to Have
Reached $29, 500, 900.
Special pispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March How the
railways are saving many millions
of dollars by increased efficiency in
the use of fuel is shown in the Rail-
way Age. 1t estimates that the in
crease in efficiency In the use OF coal
in 1924. as compared with 1928, saved
$29, 100000, and that increases in eff
cheney in 1924, as compared with
1920, four years before, saved about
$44,O00,000. These estimates do not
allow anything for savings due to
reductions in the price of coal;
Saving. in Millions.
''The average number of pounds of
coal consumed per 1000 gross ton
miles of road freight service in 1923
was ISL pounds" says the Railway
Age, land in 1924 only 149 pounds-a
reduction of II pounds and the best
years record ever made. Total gross
ton miles in 1924 were 1,085,765 mil
lions. The amount of coal saved in
road service by increased efficiency
in it's use was, therefore, 6.514, $50
S3.05 per ton and therefore the saw
tons. The average cost in 1924 was
ing was about $19,S70,000.
'The amount of coal consumed in
passenger service was reduced from
ISL to II pounds per passenger train
car mile, or IL pounds. This made a
further saving of almost 100000
tons. or about $6,l00,000.
THE foregoing figures are for road
service only. There must be added
for other service a saving by the
class roads of approximately
$4,000, 900. 1t would appear, there
fore, that the saving accomplished
by the class l roads solely by in
creased efficiency In the use of coal
was about $29,500,00o.
Less ConI for More Freight.
THE reduction in the amount of
coal used by the class ] roads in
1928, as compared with 1920. was
about 5,169.000 tons, although the
freight service rendered in 1923 was
slightly larger, and although, In
spite of a reduction OF passenger
traffic there was no reduction in the
passenger service rendered. II the
saving in 1929. as compared with
1920, bE added to that made In 1924,
the total saving in 1924, as compared
with 1920, is found to amount to
about 100000 tons OF coal. or at
the average price paid in 1924 to
more than s44,000.o00.
This saving would pay 5& per
cent return upon an investment OF
about $4,000, 600"

Copper Bit Stronger.
Copper steady. No general demand

absorbed or Withdrawn, and in some

row, Lucius Teter, president of 'teh
trust company division of the AmeTt-
can Bankers Association, stated in
the principal address attending the
annual banquet of the section.
The position of the suitably CAPT.
talized. well-manned corporation ac-
tion in a fiduciary capacity properly
takes the place of the trusted and
honored individual trustee of former
days. the speaker said. 1t is part
OF their task, he continued, to see
that the public understands this, and
still more important in the conduct OF
trust company functions that no one
misunderstands the character Of such,
companies or feels that their great
influence is at any time misdirected.
To this end. according to Mr.. Teter,
it would seem desirable for the trust
company or national bank developing
fiduciary department to heed that
there is something more than COM
mercial profit to be considered.
One of the problems which the
trust division of the American Bank
ers' Association is now working on,
through an excellent committee, Is
that of State and Federal inheritance
taxes This Is one of the most i'm
portant questions before the people
today.
Economy in Branch Banking.
Branch banking has been developed
in some centers so intensively that
in not a few instances such branches
constitute a liability and expense
rather than an asset.
To arrangements of banks and trust
companies, which are seeking greater
economy in the conduct of branches
the experience of the Washington
Loan and Trust Co. may be of interest.
In establishing the West End branch
at Seventeenth street and Pennsyl
vania avenue northwest, in 1915, to
serve hundreds of the banks custo-
mers because Of the transfer to new
Government buildings, President Lar
ner introduced an innovation. In
stead of conducting the branch as a
unit with it's own force of book
keepers, tellers, files, etc, a system
of telautography was introduced so
that the daily records are kept and
the routine conducted as part of the
operations of the main Office. This
obviated the expense of separate
clerical forces and separate sets of
entries and bookkeeping.
In the nearly eight years that this
plan has been followed it has amply
demonstrated it's success, which Is
further evidenced by the recent erec-
ton of a handsome new building for
the West End branch.

The Fragrant Gala.

Our list of Summer-flowering bulbs
was not yet completed, and I was par
ticularly anxious to ask Mr.. Burbank
about the callas, the amaryllis and
the dahlias. as l knew he had made
extensive experiments with all three.
First, Mr.. Burbank, give me a
few directions about growing caIlas-
you know they are not always sue
cessful in the East, but any bulb
that grows naturally in bogs and
ponds ought to grow we'll in gardens.
"The Gala Is another African bulb"
said Mr.. Burbank. ''It is very much
at home on the Pacific coast, and re-
quires little care besides plenty Of
moisture, and in many waste places
thrives without any care at all, but
in the East it does best as a pot plant,
as it is too tender for out-ofdoor
winter growth: or it may be grown
in pools Or aquariums.
THE secret lies in giving it rich
soil, plenty of water. and as small a
pot as possible. II too large a pot is
used. it will run to foliage and the
blossoms will be few and small. The
Gala blooms best when the little side
offshhoot plants are occasionally re-
moved. v
THE soil should be about one-third
old lpanure, with loan, leaf mold and
sharp sand, and the pot should stand
in pan Of water to insure constant
moisture.
Now, Mr.. Burbank, / want TO hear
about your fragrant callaSn
This calla," said Mr.. Burbank,
was not not so much an accident as
an accidental discovery that had prob
ably lain hidden in the Gala family
for many centuries.
THE typical callas, you know, have
no perfume, but one day, among a
large field of seedlings, one was found
with a faint perfume. This plant was
given every encouragement and care,
and although the first generation of
seedlings still gave only a faint per-
fume, among the second generation l
! found one with a decided and pleas
ing perfume. and this selected plant
was propagated by division. and be-
came the parent of the Gala Fra
GRANGE This Gala. fortunately, had
{ also developed the habit of abundant
/ and constant blooming"
Were there any variations devel-
oped in the other callas?"
! Yes" answered Mr.. Burbank. Il
/ have introduced four other variations
of callas, and in the course of my ex-
| periments have found great variety
| in the size of the blossoms and the
] bulb and in the coloring of the So

! fed leaf twisted like a cornucopia
about the central blossom stalk.

was nothing TO fear. And then it
came to him. the smell of the Red
Terror. He had smelled it before, and
he knew it and what 1t meant. He
lifted his head and shifted. The breath
of the Red Terror. the smoke, made
his nose smart. He got to his feet
and glared anXiously toward the old
road. The Red Terror was coming
straight toward him,
With a whimper Of fear. Yowler
bounded away, and as he did so Mrs.
Lightfoot, with her beautiful spotted
babies at her heels, trotted out from
behind a pile of brush almost in front

those fawns he had come there to seek
and had been lying in wait for. He
passed them as If he had no interest
in them whatever. Nor did Mrs.
Lightfoot show fear of him. Neither
had a thought for aught but the Red
Terror. In a common fear they were
no longer enemies.
