New View of Largest University
The entire expanse of Columbia University, Now
York, is shown above as viewed for the first time
from the observation gallery atop the Laura Spellman
Rockefeller Carillon Tower, of the Riverside Church.
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

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
