The tower is 387 feet above the street and on a clear day affords a panorama extending as far as 30 miles. It houses the largest and finest carillon in existence. It was opened last year. too MUCH FOR THE ENGINEER ' Careless Motorists Are Nerve Wreck ers, Says a Retiring Railroader From the Milwaukee Journal "‘When you’re up in the cab of a t great locomotive and you’re mak ing 70 miles an hour — and you see a fool motorist trying to beat you to the crossing — and you know you can’t stop the train in less than three city blocks— “Say, young feller, your heart Just gets stuck in your throat. “And if the fool doesn’t make it — and the next thing you know you’ve sent that motor car into the air — and you hear screams—’’ Engineer William R. (Spike) ( Kennedy, 69 years old, stopped to' gulp. “Is It any wonder we locomotive engineers get nerves these days?” he asked. I’m glad it’s all over and I’m retiring after 50 years of railroading for the North Western. “I had a fast passenger run be tween Milwaukee and Chicago. There are plenty of towns to go through and lots of motor car traffic. Nobody can beat a rail road train to a crossing. We can’t stop those engines in a hurry. Why don’t people use caution? With these closed motor cars they can’t hear the whistle or the bell when they’re talking and paying no at tention to where they’re going. Just to stop a minute to let a train go by — if they only would. But no; and— “Why, I’ve hit so many motor cars •and trucks I can’t stand to get down to look at the wrecks any more. It breaks me all un. I’m iust a bunch of nerves for days after ward. If those folks have no regard for themselves. I wish they’d have a little for the engineer.” Kennedy started as a brakeman at Beaver Dam in T882 when engines on that branch h"med wood and he had to get off at every town and load the tender with more wood. “Fourteen and fifteen hours a TREE CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS Great Number Planted Exceeds the Hopes of the Bicentennial Sponsors From the New York Times A year and a half ago the Amer ican Tree Association urged that the George Washington bicenten nial be celebrated by planting trees in all parts of the United States. It named 10 million as the mark to be aimed at. This seemed ex travagant. Hie idea spread, nowever, kind ling enthusiasm in evory city, town and village. By the end of April, day was nothing to put in then,” he said. “But it wasn’t so hard. The engines were ‘watch charms," just ‘tea kettles’ then. When I got to be an engineer in 1899 we fel lows took a lot of pride in keeping the engine all polished up and the cab like a Dutch kitchen because we always had the same engine. “Now an engineer is only a chauffeur and it’s no cinch run ning those big engines. And he’s got to ‘run’ — make speed in fog and every kind of weather.” Kennedy has had only one wreck. A few years ago his engine took an open switch at Wilmette, left the rails and turned over. “Funny how a fellow feels then,” he said. “I just thought, 'Well, here it goes; I’m done for.” I picked myself up between the engine and the tank; not hurt a bit. Luck.” Now it is all over. ANOTHER PROTECTOR Prom Christian Science Monitor Regulating an industry in order to protect it from the effects of excessive competition gives a new aspect to the question of govern mental supervision of rates, yet this, basically, is the underlying reason for the request of a number of steamship lines for federal su pervision. * Tl\? intercoastal route between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States is protected against foreign steamship lines, but the sur feit of American lines in this route any of them earning a profit, or, under present conditions, even cov ering their operating costs. Some of the lines are known as industrial carriers, being owned by large in dustries which operate the ships for the carriage of their own products, notably the United States Steel Corporation. Any additional general freight which these lines might car 1932, a total of 16,284,761 trees was registered on the honor roll. Berks county, Pennsylvania, leads with almost 2 million trees. The Wisconsin Federation of Women’s Clubs has planted 640 acres. Civic societies have Joined in the move ment. Indian schools were enlisted. In Dayton, Ohio, the schools are credited with 53,000 trees. A grove on Hains Point has been started by the D. A. R. of the District of Columbia. It is appropriate that Washing ton Crossing on tlv; Delaware above Trenton, should share in the cele ry could be handled at a low rate, which would be virtually net profit. There are more than a dozen lines either general carriers or those be longing to industries, on the route. Eastbound, the tonnage is relatively heavy, due to the oil lumber and fruit; but westbound, cargoes are very light. Several attempts havy> been made by the operators to arrive at a fair basis of rates by agreement, but these agreements last only a short time, being violated by one com pany or another in an effort to get business. Now the United States Senate Commerce Committee has been hearing testimony in favor of fed eral supervision of rates, presum ably by the United States Shipping Board or the Interstate Commerce Commission. Many of the steafship companies favor such regulation; shippers who naturally benefit by any rate wars, disapprove of the rate regulations. If the lines are to be maintained and American shipping aided, a moderate degree of control over rates seems imperative. The rail roads have benefited rather than suffered from federal regulation of rates. The same generally is true of other utilities whose charges are governed by federal or state bodies, and the intercoastal water linef should similarly profit thereby.

BURIAL PLACE OF NOAH SACRED SPOT Moslems Venerate Supposed Ark Builder’s Grave. When people ask whether religion Is dying out iu the world It might be well to remind them of the grave of Noah in El Mualakah. Hardly a day passes that the faithful do not decorate this holly spot with gar lands of flowers. The traditional resting place of the bones of the great Ark builder is marked by a huge mound. Noah, according to the stories handed down from ancient times, was no less than J52 feet tall. According to tradition, there were giants in those days. Compared to Noah, Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, whose grave is near El Mualakah, was a midget who only achieved the height of 55 feet. Noah is supposed by the Moslems to have lived to be 950 years old. They respected his memory Just as do Christians, nnd his grave was a Mecca tor the Mohammeduns long before the Christian era. Not far off from the famous mound will be found the extraor dinary ruins of Raalbek. Thpse are the reinuins of an edifice so ancient that nobody renlly knows the cir cumstances of its founding. Some authorities declare that this tower ing heap of stone was once the Biblical Tower of Babel. The Mos lems, however, believe that the She's Up in the Air Again Those she love* . < . are first to suf fer when monthly pains shatter her nerves. Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound would ease that awful agony. builder was Cain, wlio threw It up as a mighty fortress to defend him self after lie had slain Abel. Nimrod, the mighty hunter, is said to have been one of the early settlers at this place, and he Is supposed to have had considerable connection with making the scene the first site where idols were wor shiped. So mighty are these ruins even to day that some writers claim the great towers and walls could only have been constructed in an era when mastodons and other huge prehistoric monsters were used to lift the stones into place. IMstinguished visitors like Abra ham, kings and patriarchs all came to this place, and Solomon is re ported to have erected a palace there. In the chief temple wall there are three stone blocks that weigh from eight to one hundred tons each. This gives credence ‘to the theory that the Phoeniciaas, masons and architects of tremendous structures, were the original settlers. Today you will find many great archeologists backing the opinion that the Temple of the Sun at Baal bek was the most magnificent and perfect temple ever seen on the face of the earth. Earthquakes have demolished most of this build ing’s 54 gigantic pillars, which flash golden hues, with tints of pink and red when the sun is shining.—Cleve land Plain Dealer.
