Modern Trains
Travel On Wood

From the time of wood burning
steam engines, wood has been es,
sential in the construction, opera.
ton, and maintenance of railroads.
With the development of stokers
and oil-burning diesel locomotive
engines, the use of wood as fuel
ceased to be important. However,
these diesel or other powered en-
gines pulling stream-lined coaches
or freight cars must depend upon
wood to function, points out the
U. S. Forest Products Laboratory,
Madison, Wis. Today more than a
billion wooden ties are in use in
the United States-enough IL plac-
ed end to end, to encircle the eartd
70 times.
In recent years about so million
wooden railroad ties have been
purchased annually, of which more
than three-fourths have been pre-
servatively treated. Ties are cut
from a number of kinds of wood.
Many are hewn by hand. The pre-
ference, however, is for sawed ties
because of their greater uniformity
lower cost of treatment, and better
handling qualities.
Some 80 years ago the railroads
in Germany turned from Wooden
cross ties to iron and steel ties. In
recent years they have been going
back to the wooden tie because
experience has shown that, when
properly creosoted, it is less ex-
pensive and more satisfactory than
the metal tie. The reason why
wood cross ties have held their
position in competition with other
materials and a flood of inventions
is quite definite. The American
railway track is a flexible, yield
ing mechanism, constructed so as
to yield to the terrific impacts of
rushing masses of iron, yet elastic
enough to retain it's form and
strong enough to bear tile great
loads placed upon it. 1t is built
of ballast, ties, tie plates, spikes,
and rails.
In this complex assembly the
wooden tie plays leading role
because of its cheapness, strength,
elasticity, resistance to shock, and
relative ease of replacement, not
to speak of it's electrical insulating
properties, which are necessary to
the operation of an increasing
mileage of automatic signal sys-
tens. Ties someties last 80 or 4O
wears. and their average life is
increased as result Of both
preservative treatment and better
service conditions. Whatever the
Improvement in building railroad
tracks. it is all in favor OF the
wooden tie, which has weathered
hard service now seems establish
ed for long time to come.

They opened the first with two

doubling them in. Billy High,
''Slugger" Brown and Harold Her
rem collected hits to account for
two more.
Harlan McKeithan, first up in
the third, drove a deep triple to
left center and M Shigley
singled him across. The fourth
found the Chemists, looking more
like the Chemists of other years
when they were unbeatable, get
ting three more men home on a
walk and three clean knocks. An
other count in the seventh rounded
out the shut-out.
For the first six innings it was
three up and three down as Brown

Overlin Wins Decision

NEW YORK, May 23.-P-Ken
Overlin, the exsailor boy from
Washington, won the New York
version of the worlds
middleweight championship from
Ceferino Garcia tonight with as
cute" a job of boxing and ring
generalship as Madison square Gar
den has seer in a long time. Over
lin weighed 1853; Garcia, 154 IL.
Before a slim, almost coy, little
of fans, the much-travelled
veteran took a 15-round decision
from the smuggling Filipino. What
he really did, however, was to out

Only on rare occasions was Garcia
able to set himself to throw his
deadly right hand, the occasion was
rarer when he was able to land
cleanly with this so-called "bolo
punch.' Usually Overlin took it on
the shoulder, the arm, or didn't take
it at all, dancing in close out of
harms way.

Through the first six rounds, Over

jabbing, bounding in with swinging
lefts to the body and then either

last half of the fight, however, he
began to take chances, especially in
the seventh and 18th, when he wad-
ed in, and Garcia, trying desperate
ly to land his rights, banged him a
couple that really hurt.
Overlin's left hand won the fight
for hum. He jabbed Garcia off bal
ance all the way, and just when 1t
appeared the Filipino would catch up
with him, Ken waded in with the
left to the body. That was the pat
tern of the affair.
Overlin suffered a slight cash owe

the lobe of his right ear torn in the
