DRIDE of the nations trainmen

DRIDE of the nations trainmen was the smoking, steaming fast express pictured on the Pan- American postage stamps of 1901. Symbolic of a. changing era, it represented the progress of Amer ica.
 But the real revolution of trans portation was yet to come. This is the streamlined era which is only now getting under way. The "Iron Horse" has evolved from a dusty, smoky, roaring chain of cars to a quiet, air-conditioned silver streak.
 So you ride today at 100 miles or more per hour on one of these arroWlike units which cost from $50O,000 to S1,500,000 and years time to build; you speed from coast to coast with the loss of only two business days; and you relax meanwhile in the luxury of a. modern living room, with built-in lounges, radios, libraries, Vene- tian blinds
 You may dance; have movies; there are orchestras aboard; there are nursery cars for the children; garage cars for your automobile and sleeping cars for women only. "Electric eyes" open the door to the diner. You might very well live aboard year in and year out so complete an entity is the mod ern train. So far has this revolu- ton gone that even the humble freight train is g per cent faster than it used to be. The 1901 train stamp is described below.

 Polly laughed. Well, I hope my nagging tonight hasn't turned you against marrying. Isn't there any girl at all? Isn't there some one in Boston?"
 If I arrive there I shall prob ably propose to young lady named Prudence Winthrop whose father is in business with mine."

 We don't set each other afiame the way you and Jerry do, if that's what you mean. But we respect each other greatly and have a congenial sense of humor :. Good night, young Mrs. Whitfield! =. Leave the first mate alone, please"
 After he had gone below, Polly ran lightly along the quarterback to where Jerry stood, alone for the moment, at the ships wheel. "Jerry!" she whispered, and clung to him, her cheek pressed hard against his.
 What are you doing here, Pol ly? Have you lost your mind?"
 I'm bothering the first mate. I'm telling you good night, my darling. So much could happen while I sleep. .. When some one relieves you here vii: you waken me and take me in your arms, be- fore you sleep?"

DR.. Barker stated that friendship
was one of the most valuable as
sets any man could have. Many
incidents were given where friend
ship has played an important part
in his experience as Rotarian.
Rotary is an essence of friendship
that cannot be explained. Rotary
friendship extends to the home,
community and business. There

less than 10000 population and
these clubs are most valuable in
the small towns. DR.. Barker laud-
ed the public schools and their
teachers, as the largest industry
that any community could have
and urged Rotary to support such
a valuable institution. DR.. Barker
has visited 26OO clubs in his "a
years of lecturing and has a spec
ial address for school children and
their parents The motto Of Ro-
tary, HE profits most who serves
best" was explained and urged
every Rotarian to remember his
motto. DIR. Barker concluded by
stressing the value of Friendship
outside of Rotary in helping his
neighbors at every opportunity

liams of Millsboro, responded to
DR.. Barker's address. On Thurs
