Just north of Hellertown three small steam shov els are being used in taking off top earth and leveling off the contour of tho land for the location of the roundhouse and turntable. Ground Work Completed One-third of the ground work at that point has been completed. Just below the Bethlehem Steel company junction two large shovels have just started the task of removing a mountain of ground, which is being hauled to other parts of the yard site for filling in. This is the big opera tion. A representative of the contract ing company when seen yesterday stated that it will probably require ten months more of hurl Work to complete the operation.

FRIDAY EVENING, READING PLAN TO SAVE TIME Issues Shipping Guide to Hasten Less Than Carloads A new plan for handling less-than carload shipments from Philadelphia that would save from twenty-four to forty-eight hours delay on a large volume of business and release equip ment for the handling of Government supplies will be inaugurated by the Philadelphia and lieading Company next Tlnirsday. By designating certain stations at which freight will be received for specified points, the Heading hopes to concentrate small consignments into full carloads, eliminating the neces sity for transfer from one car to an other. This should expedite ship ments, save cars and prevent traffic congestions in the great drive of the railroads to "make one car do the work of two" for the aid of the Gov ernment. Shipping; Guide There has been issued a "Shipping Guide," dividing several Philadelphia freight stations into zones convenient to shippers, from which shipments may be made on certain days to cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada. Frequent through cars will then be forwarded direct to destination, avoiding the great delay at transfer stations. Over 600,000 cars are handled yearly in Philadel phia by the Beading, 125,000 of which require transfer of loading from one car to another before full carloads can be forwarded to designated points Working in co-operation with the shippers, the Beading hopes bv this new arrangement to save upwards of 50,000 car days in Philadelphia alone, as a "bit" towards winning the war. Three freight stations in Philadel phia alone saved 2,742 cars in one month by the aid of shippers in in creasing the average load 20H per cent.

Expect Concerted Move ] to Benefit Railroads Washington Oct. 12.—Reports 1 that the railroads aro considering i Informally asking the government I to help them In some way to obtain) money with which to maintain and i enlarge thetr present plans and j equipment to enable them to cope j •with the high tide of traffic, are | regarded by officials here as fore casting a concerted move soon to ward that end. It is reported that they have un der consideratino several courses. One possible method is renewed peti tion for a general Increase in freight | rate*. Another is to request the government to lend the railroads money on railroad securities. Within the last two months oper ating expenses have shown an In crease said to be out of all propor tion to the Increase In gross receipts. Railroad executives say that as the government has a practical monopoly through Liberty Bond issues, of the investment funds of the country they have found it almost impossible to obtain funds.

Finally one good Samaritan drove up and hustled the two to Har risburg. What are we to think of automobilists who will behave so badly? If I knew their names I would publish tliem.
