RAILROADS STRIVE

Portable Trains Make Bid

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Ill. April S.-With the
throttle nearly wide open in dash to
catch up with business that has drifted
to competitors, American railroads will
turn on still more steam through the
late Spring and Summer.
The steam roads, having watched
travellers turn to air lanes and highways
for speed or economy, set out to meet
the competition. Now there is hustle
to push smother, more comfortable
sleeper trains at speeds that a few
years ago were near record runs.
Zephyrs to Make Test.
Next Monday morning there will
fash out of Chicago pair of silver,
snub-noSed twins, bound for st. Paul
and Minneapolis over the Chicago,
Burlington g. Quincy tracks. The run
will be just an exhibition, but week
later these twins-Diesel powered, ar
ticulated "zephyrs be racing
between Chicago and the Twin Cities
on regular runs.
Another week and trains all over the
Nation will be speeding at a faster
pace. The changes will come with
the semi-annual publication of time
tables.
Pennsy Cuts Running Time.
It has been reliably reported that
the Pennsylvania Railroad will speed
its Broadway Limited up to 16 hours
and IS minutes between Chicago and
New York, to be matched, as usual,
by the New York Centrals Twentieth
Century Limited.
The Western roads have expert
mented with fare reductions. They
cut the rates from a fiat SO cents a
mile to cents a mile for first class
and 2 cents a mile for day coaches,
with regular reductions for round
trips. The reduction began in No
vember, 1888. The Western Passenger
Association has just reported that the

and Tom on the verge of tears.
James, however, felt that as he was
now a man and the head of his family
1t was up to him to assert himself at
once and save the situation.
Look here, Aunt Lou" he asked
briskly, "are you in on this mister
business, too?"
"Yes, indeedy, Mister Stimson," an
swered Aunt Lou gravely. and as Aunt
Lou had Graded, rocked him on her
own breast, taught him his manners,
smacked him, tucked him in bed until
the last year or two, James gave a
sudden nervous giggle and the two
ladies smiled wanly.
They got through the breakfast
somehow, but after that James place
was always laid opposite his grand
mothers and James always sat there
in the big carved high-back oak chair
with the maroon leather seat.
That chair typified then for James
and forever after more than he could
have put into words. 1t was in way
his throne and scepter, the symbol Of
all his grandfather stood for and had
passed on to him as a trust.
He had the weight Of thousand
worlds on his shoulders that Winter
while he learned only too surely that
grief and suffering and loneliness were
no more to be spared Stimson than
the lowlieSt of dependents.
For James had no more than begun
to realize that his grandfather would
never again come striding through the
wide front door of the house he had
built than his grandmother sud-
denly had stroke.
They thought for one whole night
that she was gone from them. DR..
Fox pulled her through. much to the
old lady's undisguised indignation.
