"Second, What traffic, both in coming 'and outgoing, in kind and quantity, is likely to be carried upon the proposed route both at its in ception and in the future?" To Study Engineering Plan.

The Restless Age , - " : . (Copyright. 120; by The Chicago Tribune) j " . . , . The gray shabbiness of winter was giving way to the first flush of spring loveliness. Trees and shrubs were dapplcdwith tender green. The farm was awakened to the magic touch of spring. On all sides nature was stirring with hints of the fruitful richness of tne months to come. Already the barnyard was simmering to the sun ny music of clucking hens and peep ing chicks, and before long thee would be new calves and coffs and puppies and pigs to add to the busy joyousness of life in the country. A young man was standing near the door of the barn.1 In the lapel of his coat was a service button which told of service abroad. He was about 23 years old, and, although he had been out of the arm "for over a year, he still showed the Clear eyed and clean cut effects of his military training. His eyes were following the course of 'distant train, which was whistling at thq village station. In another five minutes it would have stopped, taken on its passengers, and then moved onward toward the great city, 150 miles to the north. , A look of restless discontent set tled in the young man's 9fcs. His hand clenched and unclenched nerv ously. "I've got to go," he muttered. "If I stick around here much longer I'll go crazy. I simply can't stand it. He 'brooded for a moment. "I guess the travel and excitement has spoiled me for this life. I used toi like it here on the farm, but since I came back from (the othqr side the place seems deadly monotonous." His eyes turned toward the com fortable old farmhouse, surrounded by its cluster of big oak trees. "There'll be an awful kick from the folks," he thought, "especially as it's so hard to, get help these days. They won't want me 'to leave 'em in the lurch and go to the city. But, great Scott, these's no life out here! Their idea of an eight hour day is eight hours in the forenoon and eight in, the afternoon. "Out of the 10 boys who enlistedU from the farms around here lm the only one who has come back. The rest are all up in the city, having the time of their lives and making more easy money than I ever saw. They're seeing life, and as for me, the same old grind day after day." The sound of the locomotive whis tle came from the distant village. It seemed to decide him. ,,'Tm going 1" he explaimed, ;'folks or no folks 1" ; For an instant his lip trembled. "I wonder how Emily will take it" .

Mr. Iteveridge was brought for ward -as a compromise when the suggestion of Senator ' Borah of Tdaho for the permanent chairman ship met wit? opposition in old guard circles. It was found, how ever, that' Mr. Beveridge was even more objectionable. It was generally asserted that the final word in the selection of the permanent chairman would be spoken by Senator Hiram Johnson; The .California senator, it is under stood, has no objection to Mr. Reveridge but he prefers Senator Borah. He is sairl to consider Sen ator Borah the logical man for the place and probably will "make 'a fight for his selection. Senator Kenyon of Iowa also j is talked of for' the .place.
