Returning to winning ways again
in their final game of the regular
season Bluffton High cagers trounced
Upper Sandusky by score of 40 to
"a, last Friday night in game at
that place.
After leading, 5 to 2, at one time
in the first quarter, the Pirates
slumped during the closing minute
and at the close of the period they
found themselves on the short end
of an to 5 score.
It was a different story IN the
second stanza, as the Bluffton attack
gained momentum. Upper Sandusky
made only two points during the
period, and Bluffton rolled in IL to
lead at halftime, 16 to 10.
They continued their runaway
pace in the third quarter and at its
close were out in front, 81 to Is.
In soaring their impressive win,
the Pirates racked up 20 field goals
and five free throws. Upper San

A. C. & Y. Railroad
Handles Over $4,000
Cars Per Month
Continued from page u

The A. c. & Y. railroad showed
a gross income of s3,479,4S7 in 1912.
The railroad at the present time mas
% coal burning locomotives one
DIESEL engine, 46S freight cars, 244
coal hoppers, 40 stock cars. There
are 63S full time workers on the pay
roll
In this country there are a total
of 742 different railroad lines.
The A. C. & Y. really consists OF
two lines, the A. C. & Y. and the
Northern Ohio railroad. Attempt is
being made at the present time to
consolidate the two lines, the speaker
said.
In the country at the present
time are $4,000 locomotives, with
practically all of them engaged IN
some type of war transportation. A
locomotive weighs 135 tons without
the tender 1t costs from 100000
to 100000. The fire box OF the
modern locomotive is 20 by 6la feet
in size and is large enough to hoid
an automobile with room to spare.
A locomotive travels about nine
miles on one ton of coal. Federal
law requires a locomotive to have a
new boiler installed every seven
years. In addition there are other
changes which are made. The fed
eral inspectors are checking on the
condition of locomotives constantly.
Sometimes the trains are stopped In
Bluffton for federal inspection, the
speaker pointed out.
Freight cars are built to standard
specifications because they must be
interchangeable for the various
roads. This is done in order to make
repairs easy. For example an A. c
& Y. car routed to California could
be repaired out there in case of 6
breakdown. The average freight ca
has a capacity of about so tons.
Railroads use fifty million wooder
cross ties per year. AS yet no salts
factory substitute for the wooden til
has been found. The rails are I
feet and 81a inches apart which tht
| railroad men refer to as STANDARD
gauge.
Chicago is the largest railroad cen
ter in the world with more thar
5000 miles of track in that cit,
alone. The longest line in the coun
try is Atchison, Topeka and Sant
Fe which has 13,400 miles of tracl
but the biggest line in the countr,
is the Pennsylvania railroad whic
has $4,000 miles Of track.
A detailed accounting system i
necessary to keep record of tn
cars of the home railroad as well a
the cars of other lines operating o.
the home line. As soon as ca
from another railroad comes on tn
line, the agent sends the informa
ton to the headquarters. Rental 0
one dollar per day is paid the othe
line.
Many advancements have been il
railroading and this great industr
has shown itself equal to the gigan
tic task of war transportation, tn
speaker said in conclusion.

crushed stone and tar binder for the
patch work but the materials for re-
surfacing can be secured only thru
the county commissioners, it was
pointed out.
Last year the re-surfacing pro-
gram in the township was dropped
because of inability to obtain ma
terials. Two years ago between
seven and eight miles of township
roads were hard-surfaced.
In the entire township there are
25 to 30 miles of roads that are not
hard-surfaced, trustees said.
As further indication of the bad
condition of township roads the
county commissioners have placed
load limits on county roads. The linn
its became effective Monday and they
involve total reduction of 35 per
cent.
"The roads are soft and bad and
heavy loads are running them, one
of the commissioners pointed out.
"The winter has been of nature
unusually severe on the roads and
we cannot see them completely brok-
en- up"
County Engineer Hobert Mumaugh
is operating his department with a
half force and is rigidly limited on
materials. Only very important
roads which show severe damage can
be repaired, it was indicated.
All county roads will be posted
with load limits and those limits will
be enforced, the commissioners and
! engineer warned.

to enable efficient moving about

She tells of visiting a tribe which
lived in forest of tall mahogany
trees. The village huts were built
so closely together that pedestrian
had to "walk sideways" to pass thru
them. The ebony natives wear no
clothing-"not even a leaf"!
Miss Haas states in her letter that
she met couple coming thru the
woods. The woman was dressed
up" wearing many beads and bangles
and she carried an umbrella. Her
guide saluted them as being married.
When asked how he knew the cou-
pie was married the guide Informed
Miss Haas that there was one UNI
brella in the village and that if the
DAAAS Ao WSh-tuOukHt-oA, thS DIluc-
groom can borrow the umbrella for
her to carry few days in order to
proclaim her married status.
She tells of following a dry sea-
son motor road where the grass was
ten feet high. 1t was in the ele-
phant country and herd of Is ma
ture elephants is in that section of
country. They make broad paths in
the tall grass and feed on nuts
from the palm trees.
If the tree is too high for the
elephant the animal pushes it over.
The elephants have been known to
push over native huts in the vii
lagos, Miss Haas stated.
She spoke considerably in her let
ter of the peaceful ways of most of
the tribes and that the natives get
along with each other. About the
only noises one hears in this part of
the African continent are the noises
of nature-the rushing wind, the
calls of wild animals and birds and
the gentle noises of moving streams.
Miss Haas is member of the st.
John Mennonite church and Is mis-
sionary under the Mennonite Board
of Foreign Missions.
