Panama Limited IS
Speeded Up Hour

The schedule of the Panama Limit
ed between Chicago and New Or
leans will be speeded up one hour in
each direction effective June2, ID
was announced today by Albert C.
Linton, passenger traffic manager
of the Illinois Central Railroad. The
new 17-hour schedule for the ILL
nois Central streamliner is the fast
est train time ever scheduled be-
tween New Orleans and Chicago
The new schedule will call for
departures at 4:30 p. m. and arrivals
at $50 am. Central Standard Time
in both directions. The 4:30 depar-
lures will increase the number of
connections at both New Orleans and
Chicago.
Departure from St. Louis will be
at $50 p. m. and arrival northward
at 1888 a. m. The running time in
both directions between st. Louis
and New Orleans will be reduced to
fifteen hours, also the fastest ever.
AS examples of the effect Of in
creased connections, Mr.. Linton poin-
ted out that the new schedule will
provide approximately 24-hour serv-
ice between Minneapolis st. Paul
and New Orleans and between
south Texas points and Chicago.
"This shortening of the schedules
of the Panama Limited is one OF
many postwar improvements in pas
senger service which have been plan
ned by the Illinois Central Railroad"
Mr.. Linten said. "Others include the
City of New Orleans, a new stream
line luxury coach train now under
construction to operate between Chi
cago and New Orleans, and the Day
light between Chicago and st. Louis.
Other improvements will be announ-
ced as our plans develop"

whose sparkling waters once had a
market in England and for more
than half century has proved a
boon to residents of the town, has
come into the limelight again.
A topic of much interest these
days among Takoma Park organi-
cations is whether the spring, with
its adjoining little stone house
should be beautified and made into
a shrine, or whether the house
should be torn down.
Located in Spring Park, Elm and
Poplar avenues, the house is con-
sidered landmark and one of the
towns Oldest structures. Because
of complaints of the condition of
the building the Town Council has
asked various groups, including the
Takoma Park Historical Society,
their opinion on the matter.
Judge H. c. Heffner, who is chair
man of the Welfare Committee for
the Town Council, said he would
like to see the building restored and
Spring Park improved with an en-
larged Playground The house,
which is about IA feet square, with
stone foundation and an open
pavilion-like top, he said, would be
ideal for use as an open air band
stand. He recalled that some years
ago band concerts were given here

interviewer with the story of the
stone house, which has served at
various times as a storage place
for water, then as a Jail and later
as place to keep town tools, is the
colorful history of the spring.
According to old residents, the
spring first came into prominence
during the latter part of the 18th
Century when it was sold to a
prominent London doctor who spe-
cialized in curing rheumatism. He
claimed the water was very benefi-
cial, and had great medicinal prop
critics. 1t was bottled and shipped
