+ / were asked today by any young
man who Is about to finish his
preliminary education and embark
/ on a life'S work what I thought
was the most attractive business
or profession toward which he should
direct his attention, I would say that
I would not venture to advise him
as to any particular calling, but that l
would suggest that he turn his attention,
for the purpose of such examination as
might enable him to make up his mind,
to the railroad industry or to some
phase of 1t.
With the vast extent of our country,
the increasing demand of each section
for the products of another section, the
increasing necessity for personal COM
munication between business represent
atives the railroads have become what Is
really the backbone of American indus
try. Other forms of transportation are
entering the field, but the railroads will,
for q long time to come, maintain their
pre-eminent position in that particular
line.
Not only is the railroad industry the
second in Importance of the pursuits of
the country, but it is a fact that no
single form of business embraces, within
itself, so many different phases of ac-
tivity as q railroad. Every railroad or
ganiZation must be complete within
itself, and the great departments are
those Of finance, engineering, operating,
traffic and law.
Departments Interdependent.
While each Of these great departments
Is independent, and you need special
qualifications and training for work in
the different divisions, all of them are
interdependent, so that a knowledge of
the activities of one implies some
knowledge Of each of the others.
For instance, If it should be necessary
for the financial department to obtain
money for new equipment that depart
ment must know, from the operating
department, the reasons for it; must
know from the traffic department what
business is expected, in order to make
1t necessary that the business should be
had; from the engineering department,
whether the character Of the equipment
sought is such as would be suitable for
use upon the tracks and road bed: from
the mechanical department, the design.
weight and such matters, and from
the law department, the steps which
must be taken in order to go before the
proper authorities to secure permission
for raising the money.
And each of these great departments
has its subdivisions. The financial de-
partment covers not only the larger
matters involving the meeting of in
tereSt payment, payments of dividends,
the retirement of indebtedness, but it
includes the taking care Of the receipts
and the expenditure for supplies, wages
and all the other avenues through
which money Is expended.
The engineering department cares for
the tracks, the roadbed and the Struc-
lures, and requires the highest engi-
neering skill obtainable.
Mechanical Department.
The mechanical department keeps in
order the rolling stock, designs new cars
and locomotives, operates the railroad
shops, in which cars and locomotives
are repaired and sometimes built, and
must keep up in every particular with
the highest state Of the rapidly ad-

ATTORNEY REFUSES
TO REVEAL NOTES.
Counsel for Estates of Two
Women Will Guard Their
Letters and Diaries.

ny Vie Associated FreSS.
LAGUNA BEACH, Calf, April 29.-
Moresby White, attorney for the estates
OF Adele Ritchie, former stage star, and
Mrs. Doris Murray Palmer, found shot
TO death last Thursday here announced
today that he would refuse official de-
mands for letters and diaries of the two
women wanted in connection with a re-
newed investigation into their deaths.
These letters are part of the estates
OF the two women" White said. land
as such have no part in any inquiry.
The case has been closed, I believe, by
the verdict of the coroner'S jury of muir
der and suicide. 1 see no cause for fur
ther investigation"
The investigation was reopened by
Orange County authorities after White
announced receipt of a letter written
to him by Miss Richie which, he said,
indicated suicide pact" Sheriff Sam
Jernigan, however, said he did not be-
lieve that Mrs. Palmer had agreed to q
double suicide, as evidence found at
the scene of the tragedy indicated that
she was attempting to escape when she
was shot in the back by the former
actress.
Friends of the women voiced the be-
lief that the murder and suicide theory
told the entire story of the killing. They
believe that Miss Ritchie, who was the
divorced wife of Guy Bates Post, noted
actor. shot her friend in a jealous rage
and then turned the gun on herself.

alton of the trains, both freight and
passenger: the operation of the rail-
road yards and stations and for the
equipment in general.
The traffic department is the one
which obtains the business, for a rail-
roads product is transportation, and it
is the function of the traffic department
to sell that transportation and not only
to retain satisfied customers, but to add
new ones.
The accounting department is the re-
pository of information concerning all
activities Of the company. It keeps the
books, sees that the tariffs are observed,
checks all payments against authorities,
Classics the receipts and expenditures,
SO that the proper distributions may be
made of the net income; works up all
the statistics, prepares reports to the
stockholders and governmental authori-
ties, so that the affairs of the company
may be properly presented to all inter-
ested.
The law department cares for those
affairs Of the company which demand
legal attention, and the questions of law
which arise in the conduct and the OPP
Grafton of a railroad company are Of
the most varied character.
Scope Of Rail Service.
have described briefly the organi-
cation of railroad company to show
that no matter what your bent of mind
may be you can have no practical busi-
ness end in view that cannot be OBJ
tanned by service with a railroad COM
pany
The financial rewards at first are not
great, but the ladder is there to be
climbed and can be climbed rllng by
rung, through ability, ambition and per-
severence, and the rewards are greater
as you advance higher. You can start
in whatever department for which your
training and inclinations best f1t you
and have hopes Of reaching the highest
positions.
I have talked to many men in diff
ferent walks of life and following
different professions and vacations, but
have not been able to find any bust
ness which has the fascination of rail-
reading. 1t is an absorbing pursuit, no
matter in what department you may
be engaged. and while, as I said at the
