long and of 80 ton capacity The new
scales will be 50 feet long and capable of
weighing 100 tons The old scales are
on one of the inside yard tracks but

mainline The foundation of the new
scales is of solid concrete and the cost
will exceed S1000
For the purpose of making eye tests
and studying conditions under which
train signals are displayed occulists will
be placed on the engines that pull the
fast trains on the Chicago Milwaukee

preliminary to a revision of the system
of examining trainmen for defects or

present manner of displaying lights and
semaphore arms The brotherhood of

the proposed unique test The road
men have complained that their eyes are
tested theoretically rather than along
practical lines

To use a comparison
wheat does not have the
vegetable glues the same
as the coarser grains of
corn and oats Instead
it is rich in phosphates of
lime iron and sodium
Wheat absorbs more
moisture in cooking and
is therefore more
delicate and better suited
as a food for children
