Song Of The Rails To
Become Soft Melody

A note for all We Pullman trav-
elers,
The new song of the rails will
be pianissimO.
Standard length of steel rails
used by the railroads of this coun-
try will be increased to SO feet, ac-
cording to specifications now ap-
proved by the American Railway
association.
This means a reduction of Is per
cent in the number of rail joints
and will permit the cars to roll
more smoothly, according to en-
gineers.
The adoption of the longer rail
by all railroads is based on the
saving it involves in the cost of
maintaining tracks. 1t is estimat-
ed that fifty cents out of every dol
lar spent for track maintenance is
expended on joints and ties and
ballast under joints. The use of
the new 39-foot length rail will
save about one-sixth of the total
amount of expenditure required for
bolts, nuts, joint bars and spring
washers used in connecting rails.
The weight per yard of the new 80
foot rail will remain the same as
the 33-foot rail.
