he will start an inspetcion trip to-day
over the Western Maryland lines.
For a long time the Reading has
had western freight connections with
the Western Maryland, running over
the W. M. lines from Pittsburgh to
Connellsville, thence over the low
grade route to Hagerstown, and from
there over the Philadelphia, Harris
burg and Pittsburgh branch of the
Heading to Harrisburg. In the event
of the merger, it is said, passenger
trains would run over the same route,
end that other connecting routes
would be arranged between Baltimore
and Washington. The Reading now
runs to the latter city. The Baltimore
American to-day says:
Results of Inspection.
"Two most interesting reports are
resultant from this inspection trip
and each cause the utmost conjecture
among the railroad and financial
men, for it is said that the trip may
result in a closer union between the
Western Maryland and the Philadel
phia and Reading, now one of the
Rockefeller roads.
"The Reading has long been looking
for an outlet in this part of the coun
try, and the possiility of the two roads
Coming to an understanding is accept
ed by those in a position to know as
most likely. It would also give the
Western Maryland an entrance into
Philadelphia and New York and pave
the way for a greater system through
out Xew York State. At the same
time the Reading would have an en
trance into this fertile field, which
would mean much to that road in
more ways than one.
"Railroad men in considering the
oue?tion point out that the two roads
are the most natural propositions to
link together, as they are in no way
competing lines. The connection
would most likely be affected at
Cherry Run extension of the West
ern Maryland, via the Gettysburg
ern Maryland, via the Gettysburg
branch, making a through route to
Harrisburg over the Gettysburg
branch of the Reading, or to Hagers
'own over the Western Maryland.
The Reading it is pointed out, has for
a long time been most anxious to come
to Baltimore.
"Simultaneously there conies also
the report that the Western Maryland
is seeking a route into Washington

way, with a view cither to acquiring

that the convention hall would be
completed to-night.
National Chairman McCombs held a
conference with Senator William J.
Stone, who will be the chairman of the
resolutions committee. Senator Stone
brought- with him from Washington,
certain drafts of more important
planks that have been sketched in
some detail by President Wilson and
his advisers in Congress and in the
cabinet.
Planks Will I,and Wilson
The principal planks that await
presentation to the platform commit
tee are foreign relations, the Mexican
situation, preparedness and tariff. The
foreign relations plank will set forth
the unprecedented conditions that
have arisen as a result of the war
and it will be pointed out that while
President Wilson has kept us from
strife he has also maintained a neu
trality both "strict and honest."
The plank on the Mexican situation
will develop that this question has
been approached with the idea of
keeping peace not only with the Mexi
can republic, but to maintain peace
within her own borders.
On the question of preparedness the
platform will assert that the parts
has met thedemands of the world-wide
situation by an advanced stage of pre
paredness of the navy and the enlarge
ment of the army and the reorganiza
tion of the National Guard.
Tariff— An Achievement
The tariff plank will point out that

government is an achievement of the
Democratic party.
The national committeemen are
awaiting an Intimation from President
Wilson as to whom he would prefer as
the chairman of the committee to suc
ceed Mr. McCombs who has announce
his retirement. It is learned that word
has been sent to President Wilson ask
ing him to suggest the name of a
chairman who would be agreeable to j
him. that the new committee may act
upon the suggestion immediately af-
the final session of the convention.
Committeemen here say that if Presi
dent Wilson's choice lies within the
committee membership it probably
will be Vice Chairman Homer Cum- ;
mings, of Connecticut. Mr. Cum- 1
mings said that he was not a candi
date fo.' the office, but if called upon
would serve.
Delegates Pouring In
Early trains brought scores of dele
gates and visitors to St. Louis to-day
and National Chairman McCombs said
there was every indication that large
crowds would attend the convention.
"This is a remarkable tribute to Pres
ident Wilson and the party," said Mr.
McCombs, "when one considers that
the convention lacks the alluring fea
ture of an exciting contest over the
head of the ticket."
The convention hall is rapidly tak
ing form and the national committee
says it will be ready in ample time. St.
Louis hung out bunting and flags In
profusion to-day and decorations ap
peared everywhere in honor of the
ci nvention.
The convention managers realize the
necessity of keeping the delegates in
terested. It was understood that at
some time during the speechmaking
William J. Bryan might be invited to
address the convention on party
achievements. Mr. Bryan would speak
at a time when there was no other j
business before the convention. There
were no indications to-day that he in
tends to take part in the actual pro
ceedings by proxy.
There are hints of "stunts" being
arranged to enliven the sessions, but I
the managers are keeping them quiet, I
and. it is said, want to spring them as '
surnrises.
Mr. Bryan, who, his friends say, will
support President Wilson, is expected
to appear before tht resolutions com- ;
mittee at open hearings to urge the ,
adoption or planks on peace and pro
hibition and other questions he advo- |
cates. His appearance there may fur
nish one of the exciting incidents of
the committee meetings, as many of j
its members recalled to-day that Mr.
Br.vnn had more to do than any other
man with the framing of the platform
in Baltimore four years ago.
While Vice-President Marshall is
everywhere the leading figure in dis
cussion of second place, some of the
other booms are very lively, but they :
are regarded as favorite son affairs
not likely to disturb the harmony 1

In the month just passed, building
permits totaled $142,845 as compared
to $326,501 in May, 1915 —a loss of
562 per cent. Thirty-two other cities

New Pacific Type Locomotive
Goes to Atlantic City To
day; in Service Soon
One of the largest passenger loco
motives in the worlc; will be added to
the equipment of the Heading Railway
within a few weeks for service be
tween Camden and Atlantic City.
The machine, huge and powerful,
was designed and built in the Heading
shops in Reading. It will draw thir
teen heavy steel coaches loaded with
passengers at the rule of ninety miles
an hour.
The locomotive is complete now and
will be taken to Atlantic City to-day
and placed on exhibition there at the
convention of the Master Car Builders
between June 14 and 21. Immediately
afterward it will be placed in service.
Pacific Type Kiißine
This locomotive is the first of the
new Pacific type of passenger engines,
Class Q-l-A. It is fitted with all the
latest improvements, such as super
heater, power reverse gear, Walschaert
valve gear, piston valves, automatic
fire doors, light reciprocating parts of
heat treated steel, etc.
This type of engine has more ca
pacity than any of Ihe present equip
ment of the Reardlng Hallway and will
aid greatly in keeping up the heavy
fast passenger schedules between this
city and the shore.
The addition of this huge locomo
tive to the Atlantic City service of the
Reading Railway will be a great boon
to travelers to the shore city. The
train that this locomotive will draw
will be composed of all-steel coaches
with every comfort installed and ca
pable of making the run at a main
tained speed of nintty miles an hour.
New Efficiency Record
For Middle Division Men
Middle division employes during the
month of May established one of the
best efficiency records ever attained on
this division of the Pennsylvania Rail
road.
There were a total of 156 efficiency
tests made on the division regarding
the observance of signals and other
safety rules, and all were observed and
carried out perfectly. The observations
of obedience rules numbered 22,163
and of these there were but two fail
ures noted, and they were in the case
of flagmen failing to properly protect
their trains. The greatest number of
observations were in regard to con
formity to speed regulations, there be
ing 2.472, and all were correct. A per
fect record was made regarding proper
use of signals, there being S3l ob
servations. There were also 664 per
fect displays of markers* That caution
was taken by the engineers and train
men in protecting men working on
tracks is evidenced by the fact that
2,221 observations were made regard
ing the observance of regulations, and
all were perfect.

foil CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS
What causes the color to fade from
pink cheeks and red lips? In a word
it is thin blood.
When the fading color in cheeksend
lips is accompanied by a loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing
heaviness in the step, the cause is to be
sought in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition of thin blood that is
known as anemia. Overwork, lack of
, out-door exercise, insufficient rest and
sleep, improper diet, these are a few
of tnem. The important thing is to re
store the blood to normal, to build it
up so that the color will return to
cheeks and lips.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills arethe great
blood builder and invigorator. They be
gin at once to increase the red corpus
cles in the blood and the new blood car
ries strength and health to every part
of the body. Appetite increases, diges
tion becomes more perfect, energy and
ambition return. '
A booklet, "Building Up the Blood,"
will be sent free on request by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady
N. Y. if you mention this paper. Your
own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail on re
ceipt of price, 60 cents per box, si*
boxes $2.60.
