There are no limitations of any kind placed on the shipment of freight over the Indianapolis streets. Mo-t of the cars are broncht in during the night hut this is done more tv relieve the traillc than to live up to any city regulation. Part of the city penetrated hy the freight arring lines is at the half-way period, where there is little demand for property either for business, or evidential purposes. On the line which runs to Peru over College a v. are located some of the finest residences In the city. There are many boulevards which cross the traction lines and a large number of homes are now lein erected alom: this car line. n K. Washington av.. which is traversed hy the line to Richmond, the homes are not so pretentious, hut there are many handsome homes, beginning from about 2400 dock and continuing to the city limits. Four trains are run over the Peru line each day while two are run over the Richmond line. The trains are never more than four cars each, the capacity of the line limiting the iiuinl'or. The lines radiate from Indianapolis in every direction and play a prominent part in the city's ! -UM ness. Has Only One Sinulo Track.

The Fort Wayne tractions are unnbP to handle regular railroad fhiprnents in carload lota owing to the sharp turn, but an arrangement has been worked out whereby the traction lines deliver to the railroads the r.irs from the various manufac turing plants. At a recent meeting of the Commercial club a committee, was appointed to meet railroad and traction officials with a view of enlarging and increasing the shipping faf iliti s of the c ity. The traction ompany strives to keep its car.? in food shape and oificials claim that fVvv complaints on th handling of freight have been received. While stopping off at IJluffton the South I '.end party discovered a

Pumely traction en'-'ine on a freight car. waiting for the purchaser to a cept it. The engine had been sent on traction through South Bend and thence south. Indianapolis tractions are nowhelping out in the freight congestion. Several cars of Overland cars have been shipped by traction from Toledo to Indianapolis, while traction officials at Indianapolis stated Sunday that their lines are in a position now to accept carload lots from South Rend to Cleveland, U., or other eastern points. Judging from figures gleamed during the three days' trip the larger city ships out more goods than it receives. Indianapolis' outgoing freight was in excess to the incoming freight, while at Muncie, which is situated not many miles from Indianapolis, the reverse was in order. At Fort Wayne the outgoing freight is the heavier. ROTARY CLUB TO GIVE SCHOOL POOL iS(hI Roaid lioisos Installation t I of Swimming Tank in New ! Building.

TOWN

TALKS TO WOMEN

Mrs. J. M. Kavanaugh of Lagrange, III., Speaks to Woman's College Club. Mrs. .1. m. Kavanaugh of Lagrange. III., gave a" most interesting and instructive talk on "Rirds in the Oarden" before the members of the Woman's College club at the (liver hotel Monday afternoon. Refore introducing the subject of bringing birds into the garden. Mrs. Kavanaugh dwelt at considerable length upon the general study of birds. "Rirds. to the bird lovers and student, become personalities, a voice joining the past with ths present," stated Mrs. Kavanaugh. "It requires a keen eye, a quick ear and loving patience to acquire a knowledge of them and the interest which one displays in birds is often met with more or less ridicule from those who care nothing about them." Mrs. Kavanaugh urges everyone to attend the bird pageant to be held at the "Dunes of Indiana May CO to June :10. Concerning birds in the garden, the speaker impressed upon her hearers the value of their presence in comparison to the harm which they are often said to da. One cat bird, she said, for each or erry which it eats from the tree, destroys 1.000 insects. If a pan of water is placed beneath the grape arbor, it very often saves the grapes since many birds eat the fruit from thirst. Bird 11 y Swiftly. "Rird migration", continued Mrs. Kavanaugh, is the greatest mystery that the whole animal kingdom presents. For instance, the bob o" link makes its winter quarters in Rrazil and the blue bird in the Rernuidas. The speed of which the little creatures are capable is amazing and almost unbelieveable. A blue bird travels at the rate of a mile a minute and the average rate of all birds is 100 miles an hour. "livery meadow lark is worth a $1 a year to the farmer and aside from eating insects harmful to the ilowers and fruit of a garden, birds eat mosquitos. which are our particular pests." All that birds require to bring them into the garden is food, water and protection and they will return year after year and repay such kindness. Rut the feeding of birds in winter and elimination of the undesirable sparrow and cat are importart parts of the work of preserving them. Clearing a place in the snow in winter and scattering grain about has become a common oecurrance In many places. particularly in the eastern states. The afternoon closed with a general discussion by the members and Mrs. Kavanaugh. On Monday. April 2. Mrs. J. II. Roardman of St. Paul will speak upon "Color Harmony in the Harden". Preceding the talk, there will be a luncheon for the club members and Mrs. Roardman at the Lexington tea rooms.
