THE FIRST STEAM RAILWAY

There were railways in the min
ing areas of England as early as
the 18th century, some 200 years
before the invention of the steam
locomotive. Over them ran heavy
wagons Transporting coal. Some
mine owner had thought of a way
to overcome the breaking down Of
dirt roads by these heavy wagons.
He had logs placed at three or
four-foot intervals, to which big
planks had been nailed. The wag-
on wheels ran over the planks.
The horses walked between the
rails. Soon other miners were
building such plank roads-the
%forerunner of the modern rail
road.
The steam engine, developed by
James Watt Q736-1819, pointed
the way to a new era of travel.
Watts engines ere used first
to pump water out of some Eng
lish coal mines. These were, OF
course, stationary engines.
The first steam railway ran at
the bottom of a coal mine. 1t was
built by George Stephenson.
George was born in 1881. He
was one of six children in a poor
family. When he was still a chic,
he was given the job of tending
n of Watts engines which pump
ed water out of a mine. George
was fascinated by the engine and
wanted to learn all about it. But
he had no one to teach him, and no
books: and even if he had had
books, he could not read. Not until
he was a grown man did he learn

ed, then started back carrying
only passengers. When Stockton
was reached, it was found that
about 800 people were riding in
or hanging unto the trucks of the
little train.
That was the first time in the
history of the world that a steam
engine had drawn a train carrying
passengers over a railway.
The second railroad, also built
by Stephenson, was between Liver
pool and Manchester. Stephenson's
son Robert helped to design the
engine had drawn a rain carrying
ct and was built on a new design.
From that time, the engines of
George and Robert Stephenson
were purchased in many countries.

RETIRES INTO
PUBLIC SERVICE


James Wright Brown, for many
years editor, publisher and owner
of the newspaper mans organ,
THE Editor and Publisher" has
retired, turning his responsibilities
over to his sons. However. he is
in his office every day and the
influence of his radiant personal
ity prevades the place.
He tells me that his retirement"
permits him to devote more time
to various public auses in which
he has long been interested. He
has become the guiding and driv-
ing force in two great journalistic
causes. His latest and best years
belong to the public and to his
professional confreres. His ever
youthful, ever-helpful spirit is what
might be expected of a Presby-
terrain elder.
Mr.. Brown like so many others
in Jul time, such as Bernard Ba-
ruch and Henry Stimson, illustrate
the Scriptures teaching apous
bearing fruit in old age. There is
always work to be done for which
the most mature are best quail
fled. Glider statesmen" have a
mission to fulfill for which their
long experience and mature judge
ment peculiarly qualify them.
Veterans see life in the glow OF
a near eternity. They take God
and the deathless truths into ac-
count.
Lord of the years. we thank
Thee for all of the Calebs among
the servants whose last years aye
their best years. Amen.

agricultural prices and the wages in
the aforementioned industries are too
high at present. Chances are that any
support for increasing wages will re-
suit particularly and mainly in the in
creases of those wages which should
not be increased.
"Any increase in wages without an
increase in productivity is bound to
push prices upward more than the in
crease in wages"

STAIN MUST HAVE PEACE; by
Edgar Snow (Random House;

S2.5O).
Snow presents his case on the
American-Russian problem in four
parts. He begins with explanation
and illustration of the language
barrier; for instance, it is just
because we can't hear, or don't
want to hear, he maintains, that
we read warlike intentions into
Stains February, 1916, speech.
He proceeds with a description of
the way we look to the Russians;
tells why Stain, however he may
talk or however we may think he
talks, needs peace, and winds up
with his own formula for getting
out of hot water.
The most interesting section, l
find, concerns the Red-eye view
of the wicked old U.S.A. The Rus
sian, says Snow, is bewildered by
the democratic spectacle. In brief
he can't tell which we hate, or
which we hate more, Fascism or
Communism, when he notes among
other things MacArthur's support
of a Filipino who was a Japanese
''puppet,' and letters in the Amer
lean press urging war on Russia.

Never The Twain Shall Meet

Here are two Americans in Europe
who are too we'll known for their activ-
tiles to be ignored by the home press
or the people. One Of them is Henry
Wallace. The other is Harold Stassen.
Aside from the fact that both are
Americans, they obviously have moth
ing in common. Mr.. Wallace is touring
Europe solely to defame the United
States policy toward Russia. He has
made unforgivable charges against his
nation and issued proposals in behalf of
the Soviets that are impractical and
economically unsound. His whole O n
duct during his speaking tour provides
unmistakable evidence that his sympa-
thies are for the Russians. He has
caused more disturbance in the politi-
cal sea than a tidal wave in the Pacific.
On the other hand Mr.. Stassen,
whose itinerary includes sixteen Euro
pean countries, seeks to gather impress
sions of the Continents reactions to
the American foreign policy. Mr.. Stas-
sen is an avowed candidate for the re-
publican nomination for President next
year. He wants to know how other peo-
pies look upon the United States, OBJ
viously with the purpose to shape his
own course, to more or less extent, on
their attitude.
The fact that he is a republican and
the administration at Washington dem
ocratic could have given him an excel
lent opportunity to upbraid President
Truman on political matters, in the
knowledge that what he said would be
copied in the press of this country and
so strengthened his position upon his
fellow-party members. Instead he has
refused to discuss American politics,
beyond saying in London that he be-
lieves his party has a good chance to
name the next President.
He told London correspondents that
in his opinion coal is the crux of the
European problem, with shipping, tex
tiles and finance following in this order,
and added that Europe would have to
dig its own coal in the future. Thus he
revealed a sidelight on his w idea of
how our foreign policy ought to shape
Iup. But at no time during his travels
has he, purposefully or inadvertently,
made direct reference to this nations
political situation or its governmental
conduct toward any foreign power
1t is not the privilege of the indivi-
dual American to sit in judgment on
any mans politics, save that in the
case Of the communists there is rea-
son for countrywide condemnation of
their conquistatorial ambitions. But it
is easy to realize the difference in the
course pursued by Mr.. Wallace and
Mr.. Stassen.

Animal-shaped sandwiches are
appealing and easy to make. Use
cocky cutters. Cut the loaf Of
bread lengthwise in slices. This
gives a larger surface to cut from
and the cutters can be applied
with greater saving of bread,
Press currant eyes into the bread
to give the sandwich animals a
realistic appearance.
Animal crackers are a delight to
children especially if they stand
up. This can easily be accom-
plished by dipping the feet into
icing and standing each animal on
a cracker or cooky.
Gum drops cut in halves and
put on cookies while the icing is
still moist always appeal to ehl,
dren. For floral decoration cut
slices from pink or red gum drops
mick the edges, and press into the
Icing while still moist. Cut small
centers from yellow gum drops
and fasten with a little icing.
MarshmalloWs cut in halves
can be pressed into the moist icing
ON S small cakes. A funny race
traced on with chocolate, adds to
the interest. Clever little snow
men can easily be fashioned from
marshmauows. A marshmalloW
dropped into a cup Of cocoa gives
it a festive appearance.
If lemonade is served, add
little raspberry Or strawberry
Juice, or harmless artificial Color,
