This is quite change from the usual
Holding Company.

practice.
Holding Company.
The holding company Is the instru-
ment used both by the Van Sweringens
and the Pennsylvania to tie their roads
together. But it has not been alto
gether satisfactory.
When the Interstate Commerce Com
mission proceeded against the Missouri,
Kansas g. Topeka and the Kansas City,
Ohio and the New York Central In
recent years on antitrust complaints,
the big three" rushed pell nell to get
rid of their holdings in the Wheeling &
Lake Erie stock. The recent Govern
ment action forcing the Van Swering-
ems Allegheny Corporation to trustee
its Wheeling &y Lake Erie stock, is an
other instance of wounds inflicted by
the old Clayton act.
The Pennsylvania, working through
its holding company, the Penn Road
Corporation. hopes to hide behind the
alibi that the rail stocks 1t holds are for
investment purposes only. But the
Government may turn thumbs down on
the proposition.
The holding company popular de-
vice in the merging of banks, public
utilities and other vast business enter
prises-has made little progress In the
railroad field, and it probably will not
make real progress until its legal posi-
ton Is finally determined and limited
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the United States Supreme
Court.
Packing Industry.
The packing industry was one of the
first to dispose of its by-products scien-
tifically. Twenty years ago the packer
was using everything in the hog but
the squeal.
Other industries are now following
the example of the packer. Scientists
working in the manufacturing plants of
many industries are frequently finding
that by-products which in the past
have been thrown away are more val
liable than the main product.
Such a case Is found in the example
of the Industrial Power Corporation of
Chicago, which had a contract to sup
ply electric power, gas and steam in the
manufacturing and stock yards district.
1t cost $40,000000 to build a plant,
which is the first comprehensive COM
bination of loW-temperature distillation
of coal with the generation of electric
current, production of gas and the
manufacture of domestic fuel.
In this plant the low-temperature
distillation of coal will not only develop
all electrical power and steam neces-
sary, but there will be enough excess
gas to sell to other industries. Then. in
addition, other valuable by-productS,
such as tars, light oils and benzoil will
be given off.
The increasing use Of by-product
power should spell one thing-a re-

Special DISPATCH 70 The SIar.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, october o.
Railroad men have been busy in the
last few weeks studying the plans for
a fifth Eastern trunk line submitted by
L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware
g. Hudson, to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. His plans, if approved,
will tie together dozen small rail-
roads in the East and partially break
down other plans submitted by other
trunk lines in the East.
Mr.. Loree's plans are paper ones. He
is going at this consolidation asking
approval before attempting to get con-
troll of the several roads in his merger.

Returning to the nearby stream, Mr.. Crog-
gon says:
"Tiber Creek passed directly under what is
now the site of the new City Post ONCE. When
tests of the ground beneath the foundations
Tor the structure now under way were made
two years ago, the boring machines brought
up quantities of blue mud and sand from the
original stream bed, now more than so feet
below the surface of the ground. The creek
then crossed into North Capitol street, and a
marsh on its banks reached the present north
west corner of the Continental Hotel There
were several branches of the stream, the prin-
cipal one being that which had its source in
<AUAaAlaA Aouile > spring, nearly q mile east
ward near the boundary of the city.
This stream formed a pool in the locality
where the Columbus Memorial Statue is now
located and 1t was utilized at one time as a
hog yard by William e. Clark. Running little
north of street. the Tiber emerged into New
Jersey avenue just north of the square occu-
pied from 1852 to 1905 by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Co.
I'm the neighborhood of the Continental
Hotel was swimming pool and about X street
one known as Blue Cork, which was a popular
gathering place for the boys
THE old building is not today just as it was
erected in 1885, though 1t has stood in its
present condition for many years that few
of us living can recall 1t as appearing other
wise. The first addition was made to the
original structure in 1865, when building go

even settled beyond the boundaries of the
Hill"
James Croggon, who years ago gave SO much
of his valuable information to the columns of
The Star, in speaking of the Government
Printing Office section, says that about 1910
there was some little settlement in the square
east Of this old historic Wendell Building
and that from about this time dates the be-
ginning OF "Swampoodle." He also tells us
that ten years later there was some settle
ment on North Capitol street above Massa-
chusetts avenue, and also on that thorough
fare" and that during the days of Know
NothingSm'. there was much excitement oc-
casioned by murder which took place in one
of the first rough-cast houses erected in the
District on North Capitol street near G street.

TRAITOR"
While looking over the old newspaper files
in the Congressional Library, one Sunday
evening recently the writer CHANGED to meet
Timothy d. Mccarthy, schoolboy friend of
his, who is employed in the Government
Printing Office. In talking over old times,
Tim" said that English Hill" was so called
because at one time 1t almost entirely oc-
cupied by English immigrants, but that it was
not long before the Irish ran the English away
and it was probably the overflow from Eng
lish Hill" that formed the nucleus of Swan
poodle" "Tim's" people-the writer believes
he understood him to say-were at one time
residents of English Hill"
r ECENTLY the writer came across a list of
family names Of early residents of Swami
poodle" and although all of them are not
Irish names, yet all are interesting to the
student Of local history. So here they are:
"Ahern, Alworth, Darlington, Baker Barnes
Barthold, Barry, Becker. Beckett Bennett

and 400 persons were employed in the plant.

To the person who is today employed in this
mammoth establishment, with its thousands of
tons OF presses and printing material an in

so ridiculous as to be almost unbelievable. and

while in the stable were 2 horses wagon and

boiler, 525 feet of fire hose, buckets, ETC.
On account Of the large amount of printing
required by Congress, Washington has always
been good town for printers, especially when
that body Is in session. Before Wendells print
Ing office was purchased, all printing was let out
upon contract, and these contracts proved a
very lucrative source of political revenue the
tacit understanding usually being that the
party In power was to receive a large rake-off
from the successful contractor, and the chances
are that if this was not scrupulously lived nm
to the same party did not receive the contract
again.
N 1886 a law was enacted by Congress, eff
fective two yeas later directing that the
printing of both Houses be given to the lowest
bidder, undoubtedly with a view to eliminating
the graft incident to the subletting of the
printing contract, which largely led up to this
evil. In 184S pursuant to this act. 1t SO hap

 When the gas is taken into the body it may be absorbed by the blood and cause changes in the blood that are most always per manent.
 Some of the tissues are more affected by gases than are others. IL has been estimated that during rest so per cent of the blood passes through 20 DOT cent of the tissues in i each round of the circulation and that the remaining so per cent of ! tho tissues receive only 20 per cent ! of tho blood
 Tho amount of blood that goes to the brain, the organs of the hody and the glands is large; the amount that goes 10 the muscles. l the bones and the feet is small ! There is no doubt that for this reason the brain is more seriously affected carly by small doses of poisonous gas than are other tissues of the body.
 With these points in mind, the gases that affect the human being may be divided into various types First are those that cause lack of oxygen in tho body and which i produce death by asphyXiating ! the human beng Some gases prevent oxygen from getting into the lungs. Other asphyXiatine gases act on the blood 10 keep i from carrying oxygen or on the tissues of the body to keep it iron using oxygen
 A second group of gases arc called irritating gases. They burr or otherwise iumre the surfpc' tissues of the lungs, causing in flammation and in that way pre- venting absorption of oxygen anC producing death.

Ben@iS a noncontributor.
 He watches other children at their work and play, but never does he lend a hand, offer a suggestion or start something on his own initia- tive.
 Indeed, often he satisfies his need for self expression by interfering with their activities.
 If they are painting he ioggles the table or makes clever derogatory remarks which soon bring down on him the wrath of all concerned. Most of his time is spent waiting idly for grownups to give him rides in their cars and buy him candy and ice cream cones.
 He is not liked by the other chil- dren and he is not happy As he grows older and his inadequacy be- comes more and more apparent he will be even more profundly un- happy,
 How are you training your child? Will he be contributor and justly win his way to a fair degree of popularity among his fellows, or will he be an unhappy noncontributor, driven to wise cracks and destruc- tiyencss by his need for some sort of attention?
 Train your child while he is little to get satisfaction out of doing things. Your attitude toward his first efforts to build and make and do in the limited world of his home will do much to determine his atti- tude toward all activity in the fu- ture.
 If early in childhood he can learn to get satisfaction from doing things, it will never desert him. He will have, as a part of his make up. at least one trait which is essential 10 social adjustment,
