It was cramped, poorly made, and hard _ riding. The standard railway car of the present is the com- modious all-steel car of the Pennsylvania Railroad. All cars running in and out of the Pennsylvania Station—sleeping cars, par- lor cars, dining cars, and day coaches—are made of steel. They are heavy and easy riding. They ars: elec- tric lighted, large. ciean, sanitary, and safe. “The Pennsy!vania Rail- road was first to put the all-steel trains of cars in service on its fast express trains between New York and Chicago. Now the Pennsylvania runs only steel cars into its New York Station.” This is the New York Journal's recent edi- torial comment on all-steel equipment. Experience has proved the safeguarding qualities of the all-steel car. It represents one of the great- est forward steps ever taken in railway car construction. The “Pennsylvania Spe- cial,” ‘The 24-Hour St. Louis,” “The Pennsylvania Limited,” ‘‘The Chicago Limited”’ are all-steel from “cow-catcher” to end of observation platform. 50 FNCRAVED CARDS OF YOUR NAME $4.25 PON REQUEST STATIONERS SKINS: PHILA, $26 CHESTNUT STREET The meeting, having been called to order, the chairman said, “ Water takes de lead.” Dr. Crane came forward. He said: “Mr. Chaarman, geografers tell us dat one-quarter of de yaarth's surface is lan’ an’ three-qiarters is water; in one squaar foot of dat water is more wonders dan in forty squaar rods of lan’. Dese chil- len settin’ round hyar can figger on dat. Dat’s a argyment I introduce jus’ to keep de chitien quict awhile. When you spill wat able it spreads out all thin— or 2 clean table, I mean. Now, sposen de tabie dusty. Note de change. De water separates in globules. (For de in- formation of some of de folks, I would explain dat globules is drops, separated drops. Now, why is dat? Isn't dat won- derful? Can de lan’ do like dat? Ni saar. Dere’s no such wonder in de lan Laukins said: “ Mr. Chaarman, I ee nothing wonderful in de water ii . Dat's de natcher ob de water. Dere’s nothing wonderful in anything actin’ accordin’ to natcher. Sposen it wasn't its natcher, what causes it to get into drops? De dust. De Dust! de lan’! de lan’! De wonder’s in de lan’, after all. Mr. Chaarman, Dr. Crane makes no argu- ment for de water at all, but all for de Jan’. He makes a p'int dat de table should be dusty. De dust makes de won- derful change in de water, an’ dust is Jan’! I wants no better argyment for de lan’ dan Dr. Crane makes.’ Mr. Hunnicut sai Mr. Chaarman, speakin’ ob de wonders in de ter, I take my position in Niagary Falls—de gran’, stupenjus, majestic wonder ob de hole world. Dere’s no such or-inspiring objeck in de lan’. Den see de water- falls ob minor importance scattered all ober de face ob de yaarth. Whoeber saw de lan’ rollin’ ober de precipice like de water?

Dr. Crane tells us dere’s more wonders in one square foot ob water dan in forty rods ob lan’. He's right. Why, one night las’ week I's ober to Doc Russell’s house an’ de ole doctor he ax me would I like to see a drop ob water in his glass (his magni- fyin’ glass, I mean); I tole um sartinly. So he rig up de glass, an’ when he got um all right, he tole me to take a good look. Wa'll, Mr. Chaarman, in dat one drop ob water I seed more wonders dan I eber saw in de whole course ob my life.
