This ` reading is dealt with in a striking ` portion of `an article .on America's i Amazing Railway Traffic," published in the April number of the National Graphic Magazine, one of the finest publications that come to us from the United States. An illustration of the extent to which these electric ' locomotives have been developed is _ given in the article as follows:-- The test of which the electric locomotive may be proudest took place not so long ago at Erie, Penn. One of them, just out of the shops on the St. Paul's new order, was pitted against two of` the steam giants of the New York Central; They could not be matched in a tug of war, for, pulling against one another, a drawbar would be sure to pull out, .with perhaps dangerous re- sults. So a pushingcontest was staged instead. The two big steam locomotives were coupled together, and thus entered the fray. On a long stretch of track their engineers were toldto open the throttles wide.

Still pushing with the last ounce of energy -within them, their grip on the rails 7 gave .way and they bowed to their master--the electric loco- motive. The latter not only had stalled them. but, turning. on . them. was driving them back in full retreat. in spite. of the fact that they continued to strain every rod in.their effort to check their onrushing rival. |' "As the coal problem grows increas- fngly difficult, attention will be more ;and more drawn to the electric blo- comotive, and there can be no doubt that this form of power is destined to play a big part in solving Canada s ltransportation problems. ` were Luliccu DU :4 ucuu m.uuu.w....

Stocks and bonds _ of ` questionable value cost -the Anierican public near- ly $500.000.000 a year. and this im- mense bill is paid by those who can ill afford to lose their hard-earned savings.

A few years ago the On- tario Production Co. received` a small concession from the Town and this was used by stock salesmen to show that the Council had recogniz- ed the company. In this way many people .were encouraged` to invest and when the company went broke thousands of dollars were lost to in- vestors. Another more recent local. stock-selling proposition caused losses totalling quite a large sum to citi- zens of Barrie and vicinity. Any proposition, such as that presented to the Council` last Friday night, which seems to have something sub- stantial behind it should be given` most thorough and sympathetic con- sideration, but schemes that look to` be promoted for the purpose of mak-; ing certain persons some easy money by the sale of stock should be turned!
