Digging Under Great City
i New York.—Ask the average New
I Worker to name the greatest engi
neering feat in history and prob
ably he’ll still answer, "The Panama
Canal"—unaware that the most ti
tanic and difficult construction job
ever attempted is going on under
his own feet.
The 70-mile rente of the city’s
new subway system, now half com
pleted, is being bored under sky
scrapers, busy streets and rivers
with little more disturbance on the
surface than would be occasioned
by an ordinary paving job. Pedes
trians and the traffic move as
usual on temporary wooden pave
ments above, hardly realizing that
anything is happening. But the
subway, costing $700,000,000, twice
the price of the Panama Canal, in
volves 1,000 of the most delicate
problems ever approached by engi
neers, points out Erijest K. Lindley,
writing in the August issue of the
Review of Review’s.
The new subway, which will
bring the total length of the city’s
underground passenger railways to
140 miles, was begun in 1925. More
than 12,000 men working day and
night are engaged in rushing the
work to a completion which is ex
pected in 1931 although part of the
route will be in operation before
that time.
Three tunnels underneath East
river, to conrect Manhattan with
Brooklyn and the Borough of
Queens, represent the simplest
problems of the vast undertaking.
The really delicate jobs consist of
propping up some of the world’s
largest buildings, underpinning the
existing subway lines under which
the new route will pass and blast
ing and boring through ground
which is criss-crossed with water
mains, electric light and telephone
cables without disturbing these
services for as much as an hour.
At one point the tunnel has been
bored 160 feet below the surface.
At another in the financial district,
buildings are so heavy and deeply
imbedded that the railway has been
narrowed from the ordinary' four
tracks to two—one on top of the
other!
Chinese Railways
Stripped of Cars
BY HALLETT ABEND
Special Correspondence of the New
York Times.
Peking.—Worse than actual civil
warfare, more disastrous to trade
and prosperity in North China than
battles and military confiscations.
Is what is now termed the “theft” of
more than half the rolling stock of
the four main railways of North
China.
This “theft,” according to an of
ficial statement put out by the new
nationalist ministry of communica
tions, was committed by the Ankuo
chun or northern party when it
withdrew to Manchuria and took
with it more than 300 locomotives
and more than 6.000 freight and
pasenger coaches belonging to rail
way lines south of the Great Wall.
This rolling stock represents a
value of $54 000,000. and in loss of
revenue to the railways will mean
an addition.*’ $25,200,000 annually
unles it is recovered.
There Is no question about the
truth of the assertions that when
the late Marshal Chang Tso-lin
gave up Peking and started on the
retreat to Mukden, which ended in
his assassination by a bomb, he
stripped the railways in North
China of locomotives and cars.
The Peking-Hankow system, the
Tientsin-Pukow system, the Peking
Kalgan-Sulyuan system and the Pe
king-Mukden system were practic
ally denuded of all engines that
would run and of all frpight and
passenger cars that could be hauled
away, loaded or empty.
There w;as, of course, a valid mili
tary' and wartime justification for
this “theft,” for by crippling the
railways south of the Great Wall
by taking all usable rolling stock.
Chang Tso-lin also vastly slowed
down the nationalist pursuit of his
retreating armies.
But now the old marshal is dead.
His son. Marshal Chang Hsueh-li
ang. professes to b? willing to make
peace with the nationalists. Of
course, the faot that he holds this
immense number of locomotives and
cars idle on side tracks outside Muk
den makes his chance of obtaining
good terms much better than it
would have been if he had no de
sired assets to bargain with.
But there is morp involved than
military and political considerations.
The trade and prosperity of North
China languish. The people are al
ready Impoverished by years of civil
war and merciless taxation. Now.
with harvest time at hand, they
cannot move their products to the
ports for export.
Indeed, even Dassenzer. traffic is
grievously curtailed, and perishable

AN OLD TALE
All down the countryside, dark and
debonair.
A minstrel went singing. He filled
the bright air
With something more than melody.
Tire quivering notes
Were sweet as golden music from
wild bird throats.
Folk on the countryside and folk in
the town—
First they stopped to listen; then
they followed down.
And their good golden pieces, in a
shining shower.
Filled the minstrel's pockets in less
than an hour.
On went the minstrel along the
countryside,
And he met Love traveling with
Beauty, his bride;
Looking for a roof and a hearth and
a bed;
Looking for a green place with
boughs overspread.
Dust on their sandals and wonder
in their eyes.
On their lips a low song that trem
bled to the skies.
And all the golden pieces his gold
en voice had earned
The minstrel poured before them.
And, oh! his heart burned.
And “Oh,” he said, and hailed them,
"now buy a wide shack
And feast you all the fools that
fare around the world and
back.”
And on he went, singing across the
countryside.
And turning pilgrims to the door of
Love and his bride.

Railway Private Car
Probe Reveals Abuse
Joy Riders at Expense o$
Railroads Travel Mil
lions of Miles
BY BASIL MANLY
Washington.—Great gloom exists
today among railroad presidents
and other officials because of the
move of the Interstate Commerce
commission to abolish the Iree "joy
rides" which these same officials,
their wives, children, maids and
friends have been enjoying for more
than a generation in the private
cars assigned to them,, by the rail
roads with which they are connect
ed.
Commissioner Prank NcManamy
has Just concluded an investigation
revealing the gross abuses of the
private car privilege by railroad of
ficials and their families and has
recommended that in future full
tariff rates should be charged for
the transportation of such private
cars off the home lines and that
full charges should also be made for
furnishing meals and other accom
modations to the "joy riders” ir
such cars.
Figures Astounding
The extent of such abuses is
shown by the fact that during the
years 1923-25 covered by the in
vestigation private cars of railroad
officials were heuled free over the
lines of other railroads a total of
9.930.244 miles. At the minimum
published rate of 23 cents a mile
this mileage would have cost $2 273,
956. If the full passenger fares had
been paid for all persons thus trans
ported and full retes paid for meals
the amount would have been many
times as great.
In addition the private cars o?
railroad officials traveled 42,176.627
miles cn ‘'home lines.” The inves
tigation shows that a larpe Dropor
tion \>f this travel of private cars
on home lines should alco b= classed
as "joy ridine” which should prop
erly be paid for by those who enjoy
the privilege.
Will Hit Resorts
The proposed order of the com
mission. prohibiMng such abuses
and requiring the oayment of the
full published tariff in future, will
nut a crimp in the patronage of
Palm Beach. Newport. Hot Springs,
French Lick and the Kentucky
derby. In the past, the railroad
yards of such resorts have been
so filled with the private cars of
railroad officials during the height
of the season that there was hardly
room to handle ordinary freight
and passenger traffic.
In the last analysis the burden
of this abuse of private car privi
leges falls on the shinoers and the
traveling public. The cost of
handling private cars on joy rid°s
must be paid out of th^ freight
rates and passenger fares collected
from the reneral public.
In th^ language of the Tnt,erstate
Commerce commission, “It is un
justly discriminatory and unduly
preferential and preiudwial to haul
such private cars of other ca-Tiers
free, or at less than published tar
iff rates.”
well supplied with food, tools and
explosives, and contact, will be es
tablished with skilled engineers and
geologists who will be flown to the
properties later in large transport
planes. The small planes are to be
the “prospectors’ taxicabs in the
north” and the bieger planes will
solve the problem of large transpor
tation of men in numbers, supplies
in bulk and machinery of consider
able capacity.
"The days of hardship, starvation
and death wb*ch followed the open
ing of other famous gold coasts, will
be a thing of the past,” says Mr.
Hammell.
Snarling, though contented, the lion
now made a meal of his victims.
Negroes from the jungle ate those
parts of the buffalo and crocodile
which the lion left.
This story certainly sounds ficti
tious. but it is told as fact by the
negroes in Zambezi, who relate it
to the traveler today as they did to
the first Portuguese explorer, who,
when he came to this land 300 years
ago, was shewn the tracks of the
buffalo and lion on the very spot
w'here the fight had taken place.
Although the whole story is un
doubtedly mythical, it shows the
strength of the wild animals who

other is In Soul It America. A flaretip
from either center is always possible.
Just as cholera and plague frequently
spread to epidemic proportions from
their centers In India.
Itecent investigations point to a
reservoir of yellow fever in certain
monkeys of Africa, and ,<uhlie health

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT I
The basis of treating sickness has nd
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medicf
College in 1875, nor since he placed
the market tho laxative prescription If
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness
headaches, mental depression, indigeatioij
sour stomach and other indisposition!
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still tho basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
l’cpsin, a combination of 6euna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa
tion, the safer for tho child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. Jt is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
