DEPENDABILITY

MOTIVE power —sufficient locomotives fit for maximum service—is the prime factor of dependable railroad operation, particularly during the stress of winter storms. And the public will be interested to knew the present state of preparedness of these lines —what has been done to insure the fulfilment of their shipping and traveling necessities. Only motive power of the highest order can consistently win the battles against zero temperatures, mountainous snow-drifts, ice-laden tracks and switches and wintry gales, which multiply the difficulties of every train over every mile of line. To insure dependability of service under the adverse conditions of winter operation, an intensive campaign for motive-power preparedness has been prosecuted by these lines. Immediately following the termination of Federal control last March, 206 new locomotives were ordered constructed, 82 of which are already in service. Others are being delivered daily, and the balance are well advanced in the course of construction. But measured by the total number of efficient locomotives added to active service, the rehabilitation program of the New York Central Lines amounts to several times the new construction schedule. In the eight months ended November first, 4,029 locomotives, or 63% of the total number owned by the New York Central Lines, have been given “heavy” repairs, which, for practical purposes, makes them new locomotives. The progress that is being made is an assurance to the public that the New York Central Lines recognize the obligations of preparedness.

ARMENIAN AID IS EMPHASIZED Blizzards Force Call for Assistance to Orphans. The appeal of the Armenian orphan for a continuation of American support throughout the winter reached the Indiana committee for Near East Relief yesterday in urgent telegraphic dispatches from New York headquarters. In order to meet demands for immediate assistance the executive committee of the national organization has been compelled to shoulder an indebtedness of $1,500,000, according to State Director Clarence D. Royse. Winter blizzards have set in through Armenia and Syria and the demand on Near East Relief funds is so strong that no additional children can be admitted to the near east orphanages, it is explained. “Snow knee deep—orphanages overcrowded,” says a cable forwarded to the Indiana committee. At the present time 110,000 orphans are In the custody of Near East Relief. It is estimated that 250.000 more children are wandering about homeless and uncored for. "All because their parents refused to yield their Christian religion and because they supported our allies In the tforld War,” said Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, chairman of the woman's division of the Indiana committee. “What a glorious thing it would be if every Indiana woman who can afford it would adopt one of these babies."
