MERGER TO CREATE
TRANS-U.S. RAILWAY
Plans of Van SWeringen
Brothers Expected Soon

CLEVELAND, March Attenuation
Of Americas first transcontinental rail-
road system, under control of o. P. and
NJ. j. Van Sweringen, is near compile
ton, it was learned in financial circles
here today. Only one more railroad Is
needed to complete the Van Sweringen
coast-to-coast chain, according to the
information of various railroad finan-
cial observers.
Already in control Of a large railroad
system, covering Northern States from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi
River, the Van 5weringens, according
to good authority have acquired recently
q working control Of the Missouri Pa
cific system, which covers important
trunk lines as far West as Salt Lake
City as far Southwest as Ell PaSo, Tex.
and connecting with the International
Great Northern Railroad from Mexico
at Laredo, Tex.
The Missouri Pacific control has been
acquired, financial observers said,
through quiet buying of its common
stock and convertible bonds.
Need Western Pacific.
The only remaining link believed
necessary to join the Atlantic and Pa
cific by a railroad system under the
Van Sweringen management is the
Western Pacific, from Salt Lake City to
San Francisco.
The transcontinental system as fig
ured out by railroad men would con-
meet the following lines:
noIaurore T.apkawanna & WnGferY1
Buffalo to New York; Nickel Plate, Buff
falo to st. Louis; Missouri Pacific, st.
Louis to Pueblo, Colo; Denver, Rio
Grande g. Western, Pueblo to Salt Lake
City, and Western Pacific, from Salt
Lake City TO San Francisco.
There are several alternate routes
that could be used in the system east
of the Mississippi River.
Through the Denver, Rio Grande &
Western Railroad, one of the Subsidi-
aries of the Missouri Pacific, the Van
Sweringens have a friendly contact"
with the Western Pacific. The Missouri
Pacific owns a half interest in the Den
yer, Rio Grande & Western and the
Western Pacific owns the other half Of
the same lines.
&c. c. Attitude Unknown.
If Van Sweringen ownership is ia
vored by the missouri racine, ana ra1l-
road financiers feel certain it is, the
Van Sweringens are not likely to have
trouble effecting a working arrange
ment with the Western Pacific.
Whether or not the Interstate Com
merce Commission would approve uni
fed transcontinental railroad system Is
unknown. However. the commission al
ready has approved the Van Sweringen
controlled Chesapeake g. Ohio system
In the East.

Of the best art periods are now the

the most popular is one representing

decoration shows Diana, goddess of

TO problems of filling the soil ia the

The cultivation of friendship with
birds, the magazine holds, is one Of
in all the world.
The paintings OF American BIRDS in
their true sizes and colors, made a
happy climax to Audubon's life of
failure and disappointment. At the
age of nineteen he came to America
from France, where his father was a
sea captain, and undertook to manage
parental estate in Philadelphia. He
was a highly cultivated youth, but
his lack Of business ability caused
hin, to lose his fortune and, although
he failed in repeated efforts at bus
mess, he married, became a father,

paurerism !Xl&l

WHEN HITCH nix Frs
ARE DANGEROUS

One of the first signs Of Spring is
the appearance of hitch-hikers trudg-
ing sturdily along the open road. For
the most part they are needless young
people, free of evil intent. Occas-
ionally however, one hears reports
Of sinister crimes committed by the
=Gi=7ss. .-ial Welt in the hitch-hiker's
9sTh. Fear Of such consequences has
made many drivers wary Of the most
guileless pedestrian.
But even though the driver speeds
cautiously ahead, he cannot always
avoid certain members of the hitch
hiking tribe. There is one species
with which riders and walkers alike
must contend -and that is the hitch
hiking germ, against whom medical
authorities are issuing warnings. He
is the most persistent of hitch-hikers.
He never signals for a ride, never
waits for permission. At any time,
at any place, he is ready to hop a
broad whatever object is at hand and
make his way to the inner precincts
of the human system.
Now some germs are as harmless
as the Boy Scout who courteously sig
nails the motorist for a ride. Others
are helpful to man and beast. But
there are many families of microbes
lurking about, ever ready to upset
the orderly machinery of the human
system. Sometimes they enter our
bodies by way of food; at other times
they ride into the gateway of the
mouth on the spray of an uncovered
cough or sneeze. Not infrequently
we speed their journey by carrying
them to our mouths with unclean
hands.
How can we prevent the hitch-hik-
ing germ from touring through the
nrivate pathways of our bodies ?
What barriers car we erect through
which he cannot pass? Clean food
clean air, clean bodies, and clean hab-
its, all help to obstruct the passage
Of the hitch-hiking germ. Failure
| to erect the barriers of simple, every
CAV cleanliness often results in the
wreckage of health and the trans
mission Of disease from the sick tc
the we'll. The rules of the road JUS
tifv no mercy for this kind of hitch
| hiker.
