Jos. H. O'Brien Will
Speak on R. R. Terminals
at the Engineers' Club
Joseph H. O'Brien, engineer and
building expert of the Central Con
struction Corporation, will deliver an
address at 8 o'clock this evening at
the Engineers' Club on railroad ter
minals in the United States, which
may have a bearing on the proposed
changes in Harrisburg which just
now are occupying the attention of
engineers of the State and the Penn
sylvala Railroad and have not yet
been fully developed. The public
has been invited.
Mr. O'Brien, who is a member of
the American Society of Civil Eng
neers and of the Boston Society of
Civil Engineers, has had more than
twenty-six years 'experience in gen
eral engineering and construction
work. He began his engineering
career with the Boston Terminal
Company, where he had direct
charge of the design and construc
tion of every important feature of
the Boston Terminal, known us the
South Station. Subsequently as as
sistant engineer in charge of con
struction he designed and supervised
the construction of important works
for the street railway system of
Providence, it. 1., including the Man
chester Street Power House, the
Cranston Street Siiops and the Elnt
wood Avenue Carbarn.
He was first assistant to the term
inal engineer in the original organiz
ation charged with the design of the
New York Central and Hudson River
Terminal Improvements in New York
City, and later had direct charge of
the design and execution of all civil
engineering work of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company's terminal
improvements in New York City, in-I
eluding the station building, in con
nection w'th which he co-operated
with the architects.
Newspaper Printed
on Wrapping Paper;
St. Louis, Dec. 22.—The East St. J
I.ouis Dally Journal will be printed I
this afternoon on light brown wrap- !
ping paper, according to an an- i
nouncement in yesterday's issue. ;
The publisher of the journal, Allen i
T. Spivey, president of the Illinois j
Hcpubllcan Editorial Association, ;
printed a statement in his paper
yesterday that the Sunday issue was
made possible by using borrowed
print paper at one cent a page for
the other eight pages The price of
the Sunday paper is five cents.
The Journul has obtained an op
tion on a Quantity of light brown
wrapping paper, which will be used
this afternoon unless something
happens to replenish the stock,
good fortune that is not much
hoped tor. Mr. Spivey had a con
signment of print paper on the way
to East St. i.ouis and was resting
easy until he received a telegram
that the car containing his paper
was smashed in a railroad wreck at
Titlin. Ohio, and the paper ruined.
This afternoon's issue of the
Journal, if printed 011 wrapping pa
per, will attract much attention and
he in demand for souvenirs. Old
timers recall that a newspaper in
Memphis, Tcnnj, was painted on
wall paper during the war, and that
the Chicago Times issued a hand
bill the day after the great Chi
cago tire, but so fur no one recalls
Feeing a newspaper printed on
wrapping paper.

of a growing scarcity of sugar more
than a bliiion and a quarter pounds

000, were exported from the United
Stales during the first 10 months of
the present year, a Depaitment o
Commerce report issued yesterday
chows.
Exports, which went largely to the
United Kingdom and France, ex
ceeded in quantity 329 per cent the
amount sent cut of the country dur
ing the rante period lost year.
While th s sugar was being shipped
out of the country. American im
porters brought in more than eight
and a quarter billion pounds valued
at $481,242,009. Th< imports in
ereascd only 27 per cent which in
comparison with tne much larger ex
port increase, officials were of the
opinion, undoubtedly accounts ai
least in part lor the difficulties Un-
