to suppose that other roads will

It's an accepted axiom Of aviation

PElVNSY' NOW USES
ELECTRIC Power
Increases Speed and Capacity
Of Lines

New York. Nov. .. RNSpeed and
Vegetables, mixed with a little eco
uomics, have enabled electric pow
er to win a $1o0.0O0.000 ..ctory
over steam.
Announcement OF the Pennsylva-
MA railroad that its lines between
New York and Wilmington, Del,
would be electrified and that
eventually it may abandon steam
entirely in favor of electricity, dis
closed the decision OF the roads
engineers that only In this way
would it be possible to meet the
growing demand for added speed
and capacity not only in conveying
passengers, but in rushing to mar
ket the fruits and vegetables of the
South and West.
The S1o0,00o0oo project, which
will take seven years to complete.
will, it is believed, assure greater
economy of operation, especially
in dense traffic territories; meet
future as well as present demands
for expansion of freight and pas
senger capacity; simplify terminal
construction at Philadelphia and
Newark, N. J., and accelerate serH-
ice generally.
Passenger business. not only in
the committing service. but on long
runs, has grown enormously, it was
said, while a change in the public
appetite to fruits and vegetables
from the former heavy meat diet,
has created demand for fast ship
ment Of food products to market
and table. II is estimated that
freight capacity will be increased
100 per cent and speed 90 to 30
per cent, while double heading and
most, il not all. second sections Of
passenger trains will be elimi-
mated.
The effect of the project upon
business probably will be far
reaching. Not only the railroad,
but dozen other industries will
be involved, for the 800 electric
locomotives, miles OF wire, tons of
steel and large quantities Of other
supplies needed will keep factories
and workmen busy for years. Ger
tainly the public utility. copper.

wire, cable, railroad equipment and
other industries will share in the
work, to say nothing of the en-
ployment of thousands of work.

In effect. the decision to electri-
~ the Pennsylvania system repre-
sents rather an extensive victory
for electric power over steam. War
between the two was declared
years ago when the electric loco
motive first demonstrated its eff

WASHINGTON. d. c., May s.
When you meet Lucy Hurd George,
wife Of Senator Walter Franklin
George, Of Georgia, you recall all
Of the nice things you have always
heard concerning southern women.
In the midst Of the formality If
Washington's official life she's
charmingly sweet and natural, and,
above all, she has a keen sense of
humor. This keeps her from taking
capital society. with its strict little
code. too seriously.
Although her husband il Geo-gia's
~favorite son. she laughingly protests
that she isn't a celebrity-merely a
senator's wife.
She confides that. although she
loves Washington. her heart still is
in Vienna, Ga, the town which has
been her home since she was born.
Washington hasn't made her lose
her taste for small town pleasures.
An afternoon AZ the Vienna Civic or
Music club probably NEAR more 10
her than the swankiest diplomatic
tea.
Dcvotes Self to Family
She has been toe busy rearing her
two sons. Hurd and Marcus, % take
an active interest in politics. She
prefers TO leave public service TO her
husband and devote herself 20 her
household.
Although proud ar her senator
husband she knows that the wife Of
a man in public life gives him Up TO
the government. realizing he will
hu.n~ fe#HFw trw.- wrhWah IL, .ur amff
his own while i'll office. And Mrs
George believes children Of official
folk miss n great deal because their
fathers can give them so little atten-
tion.
Like many other Washington
women. Mrs. George finds time 70
do fancy work. She proudly ex-
hibits an exquisite dinner cloth Of
lace which she had pieced.
Minglcs With Senate Women
Mrs. George is n frequent attend
ant az the luncheon meetings Of the
senate women. The club. one OF the
most Informal in the capital. was
formed during the war. Members
bring their own lunch. Ever since
she has been in the White House.
Mrs. Coolidge has attended the
%luncheons because they give her so
much enjoyment.
One gathers that Mrs. George
doesn't banker to be mistress Of the
White House. She likes people and
she doesn't relish having n set OF
rules outlined for telling her when
she shall entertain and whom. She
has been used 70 the frindiy hos
pitality Of a small town. and in the
White House she would be bound By
convention. But one feels. if bv
some queer chance Of the ballot. her
husband becomes the next president
~ the United States. Lucy George.
like n good soldier, would rise to the
occasion.
