The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "Young women as ushers to tend the gates and to announce trains in the Broad street terminal and West Philadelphia stations have proved so satisfactory at the first trial, ac cording to J. L. Johnson, stationmas ter at Broad street, that the Penn sylvania Railroad is training others to take the places of the men. The second candidate is Miss Catherine H. "Ward. "Miss Ward is now being 'posted,' a railroad term for the stage In the course of instruction when the usher is put on duty at different stations to become accustomed to the various phasis of the actual work. She is bright and proving adept at her chosen calling, according to Station master Johnson, and will very likely be given a 'regular' position the fi>st of this week. "The first usher, Miss Sarah I*. Petriken, who is now on regular duty at Broad street as an usher, was previously in the parcel room with Miss Ward. Her success led Miss Ward to request the opportunity of joining the ranks of the women ushers, and forthwith her training began." Higher Pullman Rates Are Now a Certainty WashinKton, June 4.—ln line with the increase in pasenger fares to three cents a mile, the Pullman Company soon will raise the mini mum overnight rate for sleeping berths from $1.50 to $2. Other Pull man rates will not be changed ma terially. Passenger fares for travelers in Pullmans will be raised higher than ordinary fares under Director Gen eral McAdoo's recent order. Commuters' tickets, it was an nounced. will be honored until used, although railroad fares are raised beginning June 10. The railroad administration is con sidering establishing universal mile age books, good for all parts of the country, at three cents a mile, the standard rate. Rates of interurban electric lines soon will be revised to a basis of nearly three cents a mile. Further reduction of passenger train schedules between Omaha and Kansas City, Omaha and St. Ivouis. St. Paul and Minneapolis and cities at the head of the lakes is contem plated by the railroad administra tion. The reduction, in line with other curtailments in the west, would save 1,000,000 train miles a year. PENNSY BRANCH SHOWS PROFITS President Rea Says P., B. and W. Line Handled Large Business Philadelphia, June 4.-—Extreme concentration of war traffic—both passenger and freight—upon a com paratively limited portion of railroad line, constituted the most notable feature of the operation of the. Phila -1 delphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad for the year ended Decem ber 31. 1917. This is shown in the company's annual report. The service rendered by this rail road, which constitutes a portion of (he eastern lines of the Pennsylvania railroad system, was equivalent last year to carrying one ton of freight i,811,953,435 miles and one passen ger 658,252,717 miles. By far the greater proportion of this heavy traf fic converged on the main line be tween Philadelphia and Washington, a length of only 137 miles. The total freight traffic increased 17.41 per cent, and the passenger traffic 35.23 per cent, as compared with 1916—a year which had, itself, broken all previous records (pr both freight and passenger transportation on this rail road. The results of efforts to operate ef ficiently are reflected in the fact that as compared with the heavy in crease shown in the ton miles and passenger miles of public service rendered, the freight train miles in creased only 4.58 per cent, and the passenger train miles only 6.82 per cent. An Important Outlet The Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad occupies an unique position on the railroad map o fthe United States. Its main ine, between Washington and Philadel phia, forms the most important of the three chief traffic routes connect ing the entire south Atlantic terri tory with the Middle and Eastern states. In addition, one of the branches of the road, the Delaware division, extending from Wilmington, Del., to Delmar, Del., forms part of a second of the three great north and south routes, namely that through the Norfolk, Va., gateway. These two routes, converging at Wilmington, threw upon the main line, between the last named city and Philadelphia, an immense por tion of the north and south freight and passenger business of the most extensively populated and highly developed territory of the United States, in which many of the prin cipal war industries are centered. An especially heavy burden resulted from the enormous passenger travel to and from Washington, which had to lie handled at the same time that one of the long tunnels at Baltimore was undergoing extensive reconstruc tion. The expenditures during the year for improvements and betterments on main and branch lines were $5,- 389,759, including $1,173,255 for ad ditions to equipment.

Blast Calls Birds to Feast of Dead Fish Toronto, Canada. —A striking ex ample of wild-bird intelligence has been observed on the Panama canal in connection with the underwater blasting that is carried on there. A barge has been especially equipped for drilling blast holes be low the water and depositing charges in them. When a blast is ready the craft moves off to a safe distance, and before setting off the dynamite the barge whistle is blown several times to warn all vessels in the vicinity. Instantly numbers of wild birds may be seen coming from all directions, the reason being that they have learned that many dead and stunned fish rise to the surface of the water following each explosion. To them this particular whistle is like a dinner gong. More remarkable still, they readily distinguish be tween this whistle and others. Canal workmen and natives also share in the harvest. Star.
