Remarkable Transportation Sys
tem in Africa.
Likely to Have Big Effect on tho
Problem of Defending the Land,
Which Is Now Occupying At
tention of Statesmen.
Railroad tolephono and telegraph
makt It a much moro simple matter to
marshal thu elements of dofenso In the
Land of tho Pyramids than It was
when Nupoloon I brought his soldiers
there. The Inlgatlon and railroad do
lmrtmcr.ts havo been treated as tho
most important public services undor
the Hrltish admtnlstratlon of tho coun
try, and tho railroad dovolopment 1ms
taken on an especial Importance since
tho outbtcak of tho war. Tho railways
of Egypt, now contributing manifold
their Investment toward tho security
of the British frontiers In tho middle
East, are described In tho following
inllntin, issued by the National Geo
graphic society:
"Stretching from the Mediterranean
sea, across a great continent of burn-'
ing sand, beyond the Nubian dc3crt.
into tho heavy Junglo of Ccnttal Afri
ca, there lies ono of tho greatest steam
routes In tho East, by rail, by boat,
and then by rail again. Tho building
of thi3 way first made it posslblo for
England to bring tho Sudan into a
stato of comparative order and safety,,
and consolidated one of tho wildest
reaches of land remaining at tho be
ginning of tho twentloth century.
Around this steam routo tho prosper
ity of modern Egypt has been built up,
whllo along It tho methods and stand
ards of civilization have encroached
moro and moro upon tho wild, hazard
ous, want-burdened freedom of tho
desert.
"Egypt's railways, with few and un
important exceptions, aro stato under
takings. The Egyptian Dolta Light
railway is tho largest of tho private
lines, with C2G miles of trackage. It,
like tho other privately owned lines,
operates in the rich agricultural delta
of the Lower Nile. Tho main lines of
tho stato system run from Alexandria,
Port Said, and Dlametta to Cairo, thus
linking up all the moro important
cities of tho rich delta and both end3
of the Suez canal with the Egyptian
capital. These lines have branches
throughout the region of tho lower
Nile, whoro is located tho most pro
ductive of the world's cotton fields.
From Cairo ono line follows tho west
ern bank of tho Nile southward to Nag
Ilamadi, where it crosses to tho east
bank and runs to Luxor and Assouan
In Upper Egypt, serving tho irrigable
and fertile core of the great sand
waste.
"In tho beginning of tho English ad
ministration tho Egyptian Stato rail
way was in n bad way. Its roadbed was
out of repair; its equipment seriously
deteriorated, and its locomotives and
rolling 3tock were mostly out of date.
Its Incomo was not sufficient to keep it
in tho ways of progress. British army
engineers were put in charge, and just
before tho present war tho railroad
had bucomo ono of tho government's
principal sources of revenue.

Tho manner in which tho American
public has consumed tho largest out

Industrial year. Practically every

from 10 to oven as high as 100 per

"Tho 1915 automobilo selling season

advertising managor of a largo cor

GIVE CREDIT TO AUTO
RESPONSIBLE FOR BETTER-HlGH-WAY
AGITATION.
Growing Number of Motor Trucko In
Operation Has Made Improve
ment Inevitable.
In an addross boforo tho Heading
(Pa.) chamber of commorco, Arthur II.
Blanchard, professor of highway en
gineering at Columbia university, N.
Y claimed it Is tho motor car
which has been responsible for tho
steady improvements in nearly nil
roadB and for tho continual agitation
for improved highways. In speaking
of tho hlghwuyo to bo found in for
eign countries, tho Fronch and Eng
lish roads woro greatly praised by
tho speaker. Franco owos its splendid
roads to tho efficiency of its ongluoors,
ho said. In England, ho stated, tho
roads aro good, partly becauso of tho
physical condition of tho country,
which mako road building and main
tenance easy.
Ho rofcrrcd to tho growing numbof
of motor trucks on tho public roads,
as follows: "Years ago an avcrago
width of a road was considered good
it it was sovon or eight feet, but now
tho motor truck tho largo rumbling
threo and four-ton motor truck Is
here, and horo to stay. No eight-foot
road is adequato now. Tho highways
cannot bo mado too wldo. To Ignoro
tho motor vohiclo In tho building of
roads is utter negligonco. Somo largo
trucks havo a -width of 100 inchos. In
building a stato road tho minimum
width should bo 20 feet.
"Tho day is not far distant when tho
motor truck (in samo states. Editor.)
will convoy freight almost exclusively
if tho haul is not moro than 75 or 100
miles. For this enormous motor traf
fic of tho futuro. allowances must bo
mado in tho construction of our high
ways. A railroad must bo rolatd with
now ralljj, to roplaco tho worn-out
ones, and, in tho samo mannor, tho
roadB must bo kept in repair. In 1914
there wcro 100 motor-bus routes in
New York stato outsldo of Now York
city. This number Is increasing
dally." Professor Blanchard stated, in
conclusion, that Columbia university
was tho first American educational in
stitution which created a chair and a
department of highway engineering.

DANGER ALL DRIVERS FEAR
Cad Skid Gets on the Nerves of Even
the Coolest and Most Skill
ful Men.
Ask tho average motorist what ho
fears most In tho daily handling of his
machlno and tho answer will bo "skid
ding," for, If there bo ono thing moro
than all others that tho motorist fears,
it Is that sickly sinking of one's In
terior that comes with tho sudden and
ontlro loss of control inevitably ac
companying a bad skid.
Tho reckless, tho foolish, and tho In
competent pedestrian can bo guarded
against; even tho man who loses him
self in a brown study in tho middle of
a busy street, and tho old lady who
flutters back and forth in tho path of
a car llko a befuddled hen can bo
taken caro of with tho brakes.
But, with a skid onco started, only
providenco nnd tho skillful hand at
tho wheel arc of any avail. Llko tho
pedestrian, who, apparently, drops
from nowhero in particular plumb in

most entirely unexpected, but, unllko
tho former, It Is not always unavoid
able Tho caso Is distinctly ono for
preventives, and not for remedies.
There is no remedy for a bad skid
but to patch up tho damage and gath
er together your shaken nerves as
best you may.
