from the Pennsylvania anthracite fields, while bituminous from West Virginia also flows over 1t into New England.
 The little line hooks up with the spur of the New Haven which crosses the Hudson at Poughkeep- sic; and as everyone knows, the so-called branch line of the New Haven through New Britain turns in that direction. That is why there are so many coal cars pass ing over this branch line every day. From a standpoint of freight, it Is the city's most direct line to and from the west, especially to and from the coal regions.
 The Lehigh & New England has been leased by the Philadelphia & Reading, greatly to the disgust of the Pennsylvania, which was one of the five large systems which formerly angled for the line. The lease, Of course, will have to be countenanced by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and hear ings are at present under way, with the Pennsylvania the main objector against the application of the Reading for the approval of the I. c. c.
 Any Of the railroads can route freight cars over tho Lehish & New England without owning or leasing the little line; and indeed, this has been the practice for years. But there is certain advantage in having complete control, and 1t would be an advantage to New England shippers as well. Control by the Reading, heavy anthra- cite carrier would no doubt be an advantage to that railroad, and 50 far as we can see, would tend to facilitate coal shipments 10 New England.

VALENTINO'S WILL

Although comparatively young in years, at least one in the prime of life. Rudolph Valentino thought enough of the possibilities of the future to make will. Considering that he had been married and di- Vorced, had an estate of at least sl,O00,000 and was fully aware of the peculiarities of human nature as depicted in the films and in real Ire, he had every reason to have his affairs well in crder, prepared for any contingency.
 And he did a neat job. An earlier will which named Winifred Hud- nut as sole heir was withdrawn through the making Of the later instrument, which virtually cut her off, but curiously enough, hand somely remembered her aunt. The provision in his last will, virtually disinheriting anyone who would contest it. may be taken as a model of preventing litigation.
 What the sheik owned included palatial homes, foreign automo- piles, an enormous wardrobe, aviaries of birds, dogs and an- tiques - one wonders how he ever found time 10 look after so much, even with the help of the retinue of servants for whom he provided cars.
 All this came to him within a mparat!yely short time as a re- suit of his popularity as hand some man in the films and a ster- ling actor Of love. parts. Small won- der there are constantly a horde of ambitious folk hanging 10 the skirts Of Miss Hollywood.

\ LITTLE RAILROAD SERVING NEW ENGLAND

The public of New England will look upon the battle of railroads to gain control of the Lehigh & New England line with mixed feel ings, perhaps with tiresome ges- ture. But nevertheless, they have q vital interest in the disposal Of this e19-mile railroad from Camp bell Hall. N. r., to Tamoma, Pa. At least, a goodly portion of the coal they use comes over that line

He is continually changing their resi- dence and expects her to go out looking for tenements about every month, she said.
 Marquis, however, said his wife nags him and thinks nothing of throwing utensils at him.

One night he told her to put out the light at o'clock, but that was because she stays up too late to suit him. Why, that woman sits up every night until 10, II and 1 q c'n1Inl. cold
