ment and the railroads will pay 1 per cent interest for their loans.
 Nearly all of the $2O0,0Oo, 900 will be spent this year to increase purchasing power in hundreds of communities where work has been directly or indirectly created.
 The largest single loan was ESQ., 650,000 to the Pennsylvania Rail- road company to beused for com pleting identification of its line between Washington and Philadel- phia, purchasing 10000 tons of new rails, building 1000 freight cars and 25 electric locomotives in its own shops and purchasing 76 more electric locomotives that are being built in outside shops.
 The smallest loan is $36,000 to the Midland Continental, a little road in North Dakota that most people never heard of. It will use the mo oney to buy q new engine.
 Loans were made to railroad companies only for the purpose of creating employment for railrs-<l workers and for the emplo.~s of the many industries that furnish materials and supplies for railroad construction work.
 If all the new engines and cars being manufactured this year with PWA loans were coupled to- gether they would make a train of 22,395 freight cars and 323 pass- enger cars drawn by 101 electric engines, 6S steam engines and 1O Diesel engines.
 All the new equipment financed by railroads themselves in both 1893 and 1884 would make a train of only 4,700 freight and 1SO pass enger cras pulled by 3S engines.
 The old equipment being re- paired in railway shops with PWA loans would make up a train of 1,552 engines. 1856 passenger cars and 34,061 freight cars.

 The railroad companies have called over 5O,000 back to work on jobs in shops and on rights-of-way. These men are repairing old cars and locomotives and building new ones in company-owned shops. They are laying new rails. building bridges, putting in ties and ballast and finishing identification of the Pennsylvania railroads lines be- tween Philadelphia and Washing ton. The Pennsylvania electrifica- ton is the biggest private con- struction job in the country.
 Other thousands of men are back at work in long idle car and locomotive building shops not owned by railroad companies but in which new cars and engines are being made with PWA money.
 Still more thousands of men are back at work in iron and coal mines, copper mines, steel found ries, rolling mills. quarries and forests. They are producing many hundreds of thousands of tons of new rails, structural steel, rail fastenings, car wheels and steel shapes for car bodieJ, parts for steam and electric locomotives. cement, timbers for bridges and trestles, stone for ballast, ties and hundreds of other kinds of matc- rials. ..
 And women who work in offices of the railroad companies, car and locomotive builders and other in- dustries are coming in for their shareof the work created by all this activity. Letters must be writ ten. books kept, telegrams sent and telephones answered to keep the work moving.
 The exact number of men and women who have been directly and indirectly put to work by the PWA loans to railroads for em- ployment creating constr u ct o Ii work never will be counted, bat the estimate of 100000 is conser- vative.

The local Red Cross is sending a large number of local children who have had tonsils or adcnoids to the hospitals in Waterbury this summer, Miss Marian keefe, sec- retary at the chapter house here said today. Thus far, since the close of schools in the borough, and up to the third of August 50 will have been sent. This is part Of the work of the Red Cross in making local children healthy. Most of these cases have been recom- mended to the Red Cross by school physicians.
 The well baby clinic at the Red Cross which is held each Wedncs- day is being especially well attend ed this summer, Miss keefe said. The Red Cross has recommended a few boys to Scoutmaster Lyman B. Bunnell and he has taken them to Camp Pershing where they are enjoying several weeks. This is one of the fine bits of work done by the local scout order. The boys recommended are children of needy parents who could not afford to send the boys to camp. The lads are also in need of the health that outdoor life gives. These are sepa : rate from those sent by the local Rotary club.
 Miss Keefe has a chart for 1881 and tlso for 1892 where she kept colored pins showing tonsil and adenoids cases of the Red Cross during the year, orthopedic cases and those treated for glasses.

The ahhouhce- ment came as a surprlse TUT al though Miss Brennan's name has been mentioned unothcially m con nection with the post, It hau ho' been expected anyone Woulu o1 chosen so soon. Miss Bull nnisneu work Saturday, having resigned:
 Miss Brennan is well qualineu to uo the work, Warden Snerludh said. and above all she is NauSa- tuck resident. The job Is now tenn uorarily in the hands of MISS Elea- nor Parker of Ansonia, who ac- cording to Miss Bull has not the specinc experience required py the EZRA.
 Warden Sheridan emphaslZeu that Miss Brennan is the cholce ol the administration and he salu ne did not anticipate any oppositioh rom the state or local EZRA. Miss brennan is a graduate oi Lauralton Hall, Milford, and Of the New Ru> helle college for women. Sne received instruction Ill soclai service while at college.
 She had practical experience III this line, the warden said. For auout two years she worked in tue catholic social Service bureau in New Haven. While there she worked both in the office and do- ing investigating outside so she learned all angles of her work.
 Miss Brennan will probably work for two or three weeks in the ZEBRA bureau in Waterbury to get acquainted with the methods, the warden said. There Is no need or going out of town for someone 10 un stie vacancy, he added.
 N h!le Miss Brennan Is in the Waterbury ouice, Miss Parker will be handing the investigating in town, but this will only be for few weeks, said the warden. The local welfare department will pay Miss Parker during the time, thus clearing up the luzzling question us to who Mas to give her her salary, N n.ch is much smaller thae that received by Miss Bull.
 of course Miss Brennan will be paid by the town as Miss Bull Mas. This is required by the state EZRA. Miss Brennan's name was tiist mentioned at a meeting of the welfare board several months ago when it was said ex-Warden Harris Nhittcmorc had claimed Miss Bull was the only one qualified in town tor the task, according to FERA lu;tliucations. However nothing fur ther developed at that time.
 Miss Brennan will be willing to do the work the warden indicated. Last night she was at her fathers cottage at Nvoodmont and could not be reached. Mir Brennan has been u democrat for some years.
