ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS RECORD SUNDAY ON TWO LINES Heading Has Busy Day at Rutherford; New Figures on Middle Division Sunday efforts on the part of rail road officials to break up conges tions brought good results on Sun day, when a total of 6,200 cars moved brought the first big day since winter started. Between Harrisburg and Altoona yesterday the total movement was nearly 6,000. N. W. Smith, superin tendent of the Middle division, said to-day he hopes to reach a total of j 6,500 before the close of the week. ! Reading officials also came acrossj with a big day's work. Bines are | slowly but surely emerging from 'the I congestions due to cold weather and : snowstorms. The same activity in evidence Sunday was shown to-day with a view to making a further cleanup. Itusli nt Rutherford There were just thirty trains east from Rutherford on the Lebanon Valley on Sunda\\ Much of this freight and coal was sent east via East Penn Junction. Much of the anthracite taken through on Sunday was consigned to Philadelphia and other points where the fuel is badly needed. All of the mines of the Reading Coal and Iron Company re sumed operations in full and there are plenty of empty cars. The total number of cars of all kinds handled on the Reading and Harrisburg divisions on Sunday was nearly 14,000, which is considered very good when all of the conditions are taken into consideration. Great quantities of soft coal were brought down the Lebanon Valley. The Cumberland Valley, Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads are now shoving the fuel into the Rutherford yard at a lively rate, ac cording to reports. New Pennsy Record This movement of 5,200 cars on the Middle division on Sunday is the largest in a long time. From the time the real cold weather began in December and through the great snow blockade, weather conditions and the congestion in the East had combined to bring the movement to an unprecedcntedly low figure. Dur ing the bitter cold only about 2,000 cars were moved a day, while it got down to 1,500 and lower during the battle with the snows. While the weather is the biggest fac'tor in increasing the movement, the congestion in the East is also be ing somewhat broken up, or the number of cars moved yesterday could not have been handled by the adjacent divisions. The Middle divi sion has at all times been able to move more cars than the other divi sions'could take off their hands, and now this handicap seems to be somewhat removed. The Sunday movement with the embargo still on means that an im mense amount of coal went east, probably seventy-five per cent, of the loaded movement being coal, but it also means that a large amount of perishable foods, munitions and ar ticle* needed for the of the war and the maintenance of the population can now be handled. Middle Division Employes Show Record Efficiency The Middle division efficiency bul letin just issued by Superintendent N. W. Smith shows that the excellent mark of 99.9 per cent, perfect was established during the month of January. There were a total of "32 efficiency tests made and but one resulted in failure, establishing a mark of 99.6. A total of 20,807 observations of obedience to rules were made and four failures were recorded, making a mark of 99.9. Total tests were 21,039. failures 5, per cent, of efficiency 99.9.

READING TO TRY NEW TRAIN STOP j Tests to Be Made on Cole-! brookdale Branch; New Features Reading, Feb. 12.—Herbert Sch weyer, of Easton, who has devised what he calls an automatic train stop, has been in consultation with Reading Railway officials for some time with a view of trying out his invention on the Colebrookville branch of the Reading. Mr. Sch weyer is now at Barto and his start ed installing his system. The attachments translates con ditions of the signals to the en gine's cab under all conditions and operates the brakes if the train is exceeding the speed limit. Fits Any Signal System The device can be attached to any signal system. It is attached to the airbrake system. The electric circuits involved are all developed on the closed current principle, using alternate and direct current production, whereby the train can be brought to an immediate stop if a circuit is broken or the device is disarranged in any way. A novelty of the invention is a visual signal of three lights in the engine cab. Another feature, if de sired, is an audible signal, which is sounded every time the train passes a clear signal. Mr. Schweyer, the inventor, has four patents on his invention, all granted since 1913. ■J Three new Victor triumphs H Kp| These three great Victor study courses give fresh evidence SJj[| of how closely the Victor keeps in touch with the times— jig | how alert and eager to serve the people as new occasions | jjpjj d Singing taught by the Victor r A complete course which provides the oppor mF- tunity for every aspiring singer to study under y'ijO direction °f Oscar Saenger—one of America's 1 greatest and most successful vocal teachers. \ ,ijMEjfi Twenty lessons on ten double-faced Victor Records— ft illl ff '"'' se P arate scts ' or soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, |hlSl|l fjP bass.
