RAILROADPOWER CHANGES

Three standard gauge lines are
planned across the Pyrenees, while lines
entering Warsaw are being thus ener-
gized. India is working for the cleo
trifying of her principal lines, with two
near Bombay already in operation.
Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil
all have turned to electric power for
their rail lines.
The Pennsylvania and New York
Central developments by no means rep
resent all the activities in this country.
In 1927 the Milwaukee Railroad ex-
tended its identification from Black
River to Seattle, total of 878 miles.
The Great Northern has pushed its
Cascade Tunnel of almost miles to
completion. The Reading has drafted
plans for identification in the Phila-
delphia suburbs, while the Pennsylvania
maintains such a service to Atlantic
City. The Boston, Revere Beach 81
Lynn Railroad has announced that it
plans to e!ectrify. The Detroit, Toledo
& Ironton has been operating electri-
cally between Fordson and Flat Rock,
Mich, total of IS miles, and is extend
ing to 81 miles.
Commuters in the New York subur-
ban area are familiar with electrified
service and will soon find this service
extended The Delaware, Lackawanna
81 Western, the New York Central and
the Long Island Railroads all have
comprehensive programs of develop
ment in the area feeding New York
City.
The movement to replace steam with
electricity was slow in getting under
way, but it is now on a firm basis and
its progress is expected to be accel-
Grated as water power projects are de-
veloped in various parts of the country.

THE gradual passing of steampower,
upon whose powerful shoulders the
great transportation lines of the coun-
try were built, is further forecast by the
recent announcement of the New York
Central Railroad of plans to electrify
its lines from Buffalo to New York City,
drawing its power for this 500-mile
stretch of line from Niagara Falls.
The announcement followed closely
that of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
which the project for an electrified
system from New York to Wilmington
was revealed. The New York Central
contemplates an outlay of $4,000, 900 in
changing over from steam to electricity
Altogether 10 railroads in the United
States have electrified portions Of their
lines, although the total trackage.so far
is only 1000 miles This represents
but per cent of the trackage of the
country, so ample room for increase re-
mains.
Approximately 100 railroads in 35
different countries have electrified lines
of transportation now and the use OF
steam Is gradually falling before the ad-
vance of the dynamo. During the past
year, initial installations in electrif1ca-
ton of railroads have taken place in
Costa RIGA, Siam and CZechoslovakla.
Germany is rapidly approaching its
1,000th mile. Switzerland, the land of
the perpendicular railroad, has added
about $50 miles to the 1850 already
using electric power.
In Italy, where Premier Mussolini is
laying great stress on water-poWer and
the vital need of Italy to use her natu-
raj power resources rather than import
fuel, 200 miles of new roads have been
added to the $50 already in operation
a great stride toward the l,400 proposed

would have so little time together. She
was certain now that Rose would not
tell her about the letter. and the GER
tainty augmented her fears about the
motive that had impelled the writing.
"Ill be back-in time"
For the wedding? Why, of course"
Would you mind awfully, if
didn't" Rose asked, not looking up
from under the dropping brim of her
hat.
"Why, Rose?" she cried. "You don't

"Oh, I'm so tiredl I just can't make

about it. But this Jersey entomoligist
has finally got the dope on EN-.
Now we are getting down to the
'Nubbin'' or main part and like all
Speakers he dident explain that. 1t is
this. He told you go Go out and ex-
terminate Female as early in life as
possible" But he dident tell you how
to distinguish the female from the
Male. You are liable to go out with
the best intentions In the World and
kill one, and what might it turn OUT
to be but an innocent Male. A poor
Male Mosquieto, that had never done a
sung to you, it had never bit you, it
had never laid eggs on you. In fact, 1t
had gone through life acting in gen.
tlemanly way, and here 1t is killed.
Why? Because you haven't been taught
to distinguish the sex. He has given
up his life this poor Mosquieto has
just as a Martyr to the ignorance Of
the human race.
What we need is Literature of two
kinds. One to teach us to readily
realize the sex, and the other is
phamphlets for the female mosquitoes
on Birth Control Show them that
they are not only doing their part, but
they are going over their quote. Teach
them that the days of the big families
in Mosquitoes are past, that what we
want Is Fewer and better Mosquiatoes."
Try and get EN- to move out OF Jersey
and to Fifth and Park Avenue, New
York and let EN- see there that being
prolific In offsprings Is only for the
Lower Glasses"
Don't try to kill off the females. Edu-
cate EN- up to modern ways. They are
not so crazy about laying eggs, its Just
because they think it's their duty to do
it, Course the whole thing Is kinder
mysterious to me. I don't see how the
female can be the one that lays all the
eggs. raises all the young, does all the
biting, and still has time to sing. Now
some of these must kinder overlap
Now they cant bite and sing at the
same time. We know that from ex-
perience. They generally don't start
then they crow about it, If the biting
hasent been good they wont sing. I
have noticed that.
Now when Go they find time to raise
all these children? There must be
times wh1a they cant be singing -
biting. Now the way this Entomoligist
hsa left us now about the only way We
have left open to do Is watch a Mos
quieto till he bites you and then de-
stroy him. Il mean herr. In other
words, If he bites you he Is her, and
If he sings, he is a her. Watch him
and see If he lays an egg. then its a
Her.
But If he just sits around all day and
don't do anything, why about the only
conclusion we can come to is that it Is
a He. Don't kill him, he does no HARM
he just sits and revels in the accom-
plishments of his Wife. So when you
find Male the best thing to do is just
to sit there and wait till his Wife comes
between bites.
How does the Male live?" That's
what they are going to take up at the
next dinner.

talk to you now All right, then. I'll
meet you at 4. Yes, at the same place. -
Sara heard no more, but the con-
versation disturbed her. "She mustn't
meet him." she thought. but she felt
that Rose had won the right to solve
her problem in her own way. And Sara
braced herself to go through breakfast
with Rose as if nothing had happened
Rose had gone out, however. when
she went downstairs. Agnes, the cook,
came from the kitchen. Miss Rose
won't be back to lunch" she told her.
did she have a telephone call?"
Sara asked, not for satisfaction of her
own overhearing, but as justification for
Roses unwantedly early departure.
Yes" Agnes said. "Mr. Rodney
called her"
Rodney" Sara puzzled. Didn't he
ask for me?"
mo, he wanted Miss Rose"
Il see. But some one else called,
didn't hep"
II didn't hear any one. Maybe she
answered it herself upstairs. Will you
have bacon?"
None" said Sara Why was Rodney
calling Rose? Did he know something
of the circumstances of Roses affairs?
Did he know the man? Sara felt relief
in the thought that he was really con-
corning himself in Roses welfare. It
took something of the burden from her
shoulders. He might dissuade Rose from
any more meetings with this man, who
ever he was.
TT was a day more than ordinarily
busy with household tasks, but in the
middle of the afternoon she found her
self too restless to stay in the house.
I'm going to look at those new apart
ments," she told Agnes.
She took bus out to the neighbor-
hood near the park, on which she and
Rodney had decided for residence, after
their marriage. The park was green with
the soft beauty of a too-early Summer,
and roses were already in bloom. Sara
skirted the green, however, toward the
apartments in course of construction,
and climed over scaffoldingS to win en-
trance to the one nearest completion.
The apartments gave promise of attrac-
tiveneSs both of arrangement and price,
and she stood alone in one of them,
deciding that, if Rodney liked it as
well as she did, they would engage it
for october, when she saw Rodney's
car turn from the boulevard into the
parkway.
Hes looking for me-" though she.
and went downstairs to call him. but
she saw him swing across the road into
the park and stop beside bench, where
girl was seated. The girl moved
to make room beside her, and Sara saw
that 1t was Rose.
Sara stared unbelievingly at the two
on the bench. It couldn't be Rodney
who had come to meet Rosel It couldn't
have been Rodney to whom she had
talked this morning! But Agnes had
said that Rodney was the only one who

FOR a long time Sara sat by the
window. staring out upon the
street, but seeing nothing of its pass
ing traffic, so busy were her thoughts
with the puzzle of Rose. Not until
Rodney came did she rouse from her
reverie. Then she gave him only di-
vided interest, after she had greeted
him in the high-ceilinged parlor that
had been associated with the pleasures
and sorrows of her twenty-odd years;
associated, too, with Rodney who had
been their neighbor since childhood
He had been with her nearly an hour

that Rose had written it. "She's so

Rose weren't miserable"
Couldn't you be happy unless she

| ooh, it isn't that, Rod, dear!" She
came close to him, eager to emphasize
to him her belief that she would find
happiness with him. You know, though
what Rose has been to me, and how
much I want her to have-what I have.
I'm so happy myself that it seems selfish
to let her suffer without trying to do
something for her"
II don't see that you can do any,
thing" he said. Lets go for ride,
anyhow"
She went for her hat, hurt little by
his failure to sympathiZe with her about
Rose, but telling herself that he was
right in refusing to force crisis in the
situation. She could do nothing for
Rose, unless Rose confided in her and
gave her the opportunity for aid and
counsel, and that was what Rose was
refusing to do.
The discussion, however, clouded the
brightness of the afternoon as she and
Rodney rode out from the city. They
had supper at the roadside restaurant
that had once seemed quaint to them,
but that now appeared gariSh, and
they rode back to town in an endless
and tagging procession, Rodney hardly
speaking and Sara silent. They said
good night almost hastily. Rodney did
not come in, but, after she had entered
the house, Sara regretted having con-
fused Rodney with the failure of the
jaunt. 1T wasn't his fault that the
roads were crowded and the food poor"
