BALTIMORE & OHIO STREAMLINE NOW IN SERVICE OVER ENTIRE LINE CHICAGO TO WASHINGTON, D. C.

Baltimore, Nov. 23—The Capitol Limited, the only Diesel-powered all-Pullman train in the east, after more than 15 years operation, started from its terminals in Baltimore, Washington, and Chicago Wednesday, November 23, completely streamlined. Just before leaving Washington it was christened by Tallulah Bankhead, internationally famous American actress now playing in her latest success, “I Am Different.’ She smashed the traditional bottle on the steel nose of the big Diesel-elec-tric, while a group of debutantes costumed in the period o‘s 1850 formed a court of honor around her. . The debs Represented passeng&ys of the famous B. & O. train which brought President Lincoln from Baltimore to Washington on February 23, 1861, for his inauguration, and which was symbolized by the colorful William Mason locomotive of 1856, the type that handled the Lincoln train. Despite its huge bulbous smoke stack, it was dwarfed by the 140 foot long Diesel-electric locomotive standing next to it. With rounded roofs and deep skirting on the sides the streamlined Capitol Limited now carries out from end to end the striking blue, gray and gold color scheme which has been so much admired on the B. & O. streamliners operas ing between Washington and New York.

“How . far that little candle throws its beams” . . . This well known speech of Portia's in The Merchant of Venice well applies to the theme on the 1938 Christmas Seal. And the second line may be changed to read—“So shines this little symbol for a healthier world. The pleasant custom of lighting a candle in the window on Christmas Eve has come down throng l :! the ages and the mother with her two children on this year s Seal links that seasonal ritual with the idea of family and home. The message of the Seal is “Protect your home from tuberculosis.” To carry out the suggestion of- earlier days the three characters are costumed in the formal style of the Victorian Era the period when “Home” was idealized and holiday customs meant much to old and young alike. The health situation in those days, however, was in a sorry state. That is why it is well to realize, as we buy and use our 1938 Christmas Seals, that we are living in an a -? e when modern methods and intelligent cooperation have completely revolutionized health conditions in Tnir country. In the middle nineteenth century, for example, people did not even know that tuberculosis was contagious. Although Dr.. Robert Koch a German physician, haa discovered the germ that causes the disease in 1882, it was many years before the public learned the way infection spreads. In homes of those days any one who had consumption was considered domed to death —he FAMILY MILK BOTTLE AS AUTO BRAKE TESTER Another use for the family milK bottle is as a brake tester, Harold Treichel, head of the Chicago Motor club emergency road service department, pointed out today. “Pour a Pint of water into a

The interior of the train Is modernistic in furnishing ami decoration. Chromium finish meta.l furniture is used in club and observation cars, the chairs and lounges being deeply upholstered in sponge rubber, covered with gay shades of leather and other fabrics. The sleeping cars are upholstered in rich, new patterns in the lighter shades of green and brown, and pastel tones are used for the side walls and ceilings. Os special moment is the train’s new “luminous” system of lighting. This is accomplished by the use of heavy, ground-glass bull’s; eyes, which cover the lighting clusters and panels and prevent all glare, but bring a diffused glow, ot' unusually high candle power at reading distance. One of the most attractive innovations is the soft chime signal for calling porters that does away with the loud electric bell. To meet the popular demand for privacy in train travel, an unusually large number of bedrooms, compartments and drawing rooms —some of these en suite for family travel — have been provided. The latest model radios are at the disposal of passengers in both club and observation cars. Barber-valet and maid service is continued on the train, as is also the service of a train secretary without charge. The modernizing of the train was done by the Pullman Company, with Otto Kuhler, the B. & O.’s engineer of design, as consultant.

Twas kept indoors and watched over resignedly by his sorrowing family. When other members broken down, with the “wasting sickness” they never realized they had been infected by the coughing victim—they believed tuberculosis was inherited. The treatment prescribed then by the best physicians was exercise or an ocean voyage, plus many tonics. In 1885- Dr. Edward L. Trudeau established modern sanatorium treatment of tuberculosis in this country and rest became recognized as all-important. Today we have advanced still further and through the tuberculin test and X-ray are able to detect tuberculosis in its early staged, when cure in most cases may be effected. We are privileged indeed to ne living in this world. The death rate from tuberculosis, for years the leading cause of death, has been cut more than two-thirds since the turn of the century. Each year finds the public better informed in the need for prevention. Yet tuberculosis still takes more lives than any other sickness during the ages between 15 and 45. Until that important group of people have been protected, the educational work of the Christmas Seal must be continued. The little candle on the 1988 Christmas Seal throws its beams far out into the world. To those wno are ill with tuberculosis it offers hope, encouragement. To others, It stands as. the beacon of happy healthful homes —homes free of tuberculosis. quart bottle, cap it, and place it on the floor of the car,” he said. “Drive at a speed of twenty miles an hour and apply the brakes fully. “If the bottle remains upright, your brakes need attention, but if the bottle upsets and your car stops within 30 feet, your brakes are in satisfactory condition,” he said.

So enthusiastic are'some labor officials over the industrial nursery, scheme they readily admit they’d like to claim the idea as their own. The first batch of the new' fivecent pieces bearing the likeness of Thomas Jefferson arrived from the government’s mints with a decidedly pinkish hue. News wags immediately sought out treasury officials and inquired if the pink color reflected the Brain Trust on the government. Chagrined treasury officials hastened to explain that the pink color was caused by chemical action on the new i e’m and would rapidly wear off.

n I FRED W. BRAUN < Many times in this column I have pleaded for sane wnd sensible enforcement of traffic laws. We must have officers on our highways and tree’s to properly enforce the reg>il io.is pertaining to driving. More, must have judges in our courts who <” appreciate the danger involved when people become reckless in their driving habits. Recently, in my own country, two cas s of drunken driving were d.s---missi-d by the court. This is not en ly discouraging, but it is a deplorable condition and one that should not exist. When the evidence clearly points to the fact that drive: s were picked up because of drunken, reckless driving and that ;he officers were unbiased hi their opinion, the court should enforce the laws on the statute books. It is the duty of every citizen to protest lenient decisions on the enforcement problem. Leniency only ncourages the man who -'has no repect for the rights of others and who, on the highway, is a menace to the safety of ourselves and our children. I'lease, Mr. Citizen, help enforce the traffic laws.
