A Road of Rails / .v Roadbed and track constitute the foundation of railway service. This foundation has had to be strengthened from time to time in order to handle heavier and faster trains safely and economically. Except for the addition of preservative chemicals, crossties have changed little, but ballast, rails and all other elements of roadbed and track have made notable advances in quality and weight. Crushed stone, gravel, cinders and slag are now the principal kinds of railway ballast. They make the roadbed resilient, easy-riding, long wearing and relatively simple of maintenance. Many railroads, the Illinois Central System among them, obtain considerable ballast from their own quarries and gravel pits. Steel rails have long been standard, superseding iron, and they are constantly being made stronger and heavier. Measured in weight per yard, rails now in use on the Illinois Central System range up to 110-pound. The heavier rails are used under high-speed) main-line traffic, the lighter for branch lines, sidings and yards. The life of a rail under heavy traffic is approximately ten or twelve years. The total weight of all rails now in use on the Illinois Central System is nearly one and one-half million tons. Laid end to end, they would nearly encircle the earth. Important accessories of roadbed and track are tunnels, cuts, fills and bridges. They too must be strengthened, enlarged or rebuilt from time to time to keep pace with the weight and speed of trains. Curves and grades also must be reduced or eliminated to improve operating conditions. The Illinois Central System last year spent nearly $30,000,000 in the maintenance of its roadway and structures. The system’s investment in roadway property has increased during the last five years at the rate of more than $23,000,000 a year. Both a satisfactory rate of investment and a suitable degree of maintenance must be continued if the roadbed and track are to keep pace with modern standards. What is true of this railroad is true, in proportion, of the railroads generally. They must make money in order to continue providing modern transportation. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, July 1, 1927.

So the Moscow Therapeutic Society was told when a group of soviet scientists reported successful experimental treatments of pernicious aenemia by a raw liver diet. Raw liver, they said, was better than cooked liver, judging by the results shown by seven sufferers of pernicious aenemia whose condition improved under the treatment.
