brougr up on rum. They hat it in the
housed all the time. They dranj it
freely and even the ninistew drank it
when he eame to our housa. It8s a
pretty kinf of a cointry when a
grndson is better than his gundfaher.

ENGINEERING SLIDES SHOWN
By A. S. C. E.
“Flood Control in Miami Conserv
ancy District,” was the title of a
very interesting series of fifty-two
slides shown by the A. S. C. E. chap
ter last Thursday night at their reg
ular meeting. The slides depicted the
conservatory measures undertaken to
control the flood waters of the Ohio
river in the Miami district just a-
bove Dayton. The Miami district
throughout and Dayton in particular
it will be remembered, suffered heav
ily during the 1913 flood. No serious
damages have been borne by the

WHAT YOUNGER COLLEGE MEN
ARE DOING WITH WESTINGHOUSE
The steam locomotive has a new rival
/\ TTENTION in railway circles focuses
yA. this year on a spectacular undertaking
by the Canadian National Railways—the
electrification of certain trains on non-electri-
fied lines.
One great oil-electric locomotive is already
in service. The largest and most powerful of its
type in the world, this giant electric locomotive
that carries its own generating plant develops
2660 horsepower, uses only .43 lb. of fuel per
horsepower-hour developed at full load.
Many interesting features are incorpo
rated in its design. The speed and voltage
of the engine-generators are
automatically controlled by
the power demands.

The engine exhaust is directed through auto
matically regulated economizers that heat the
coaches and serve as well as mufflers. Control
is placed at both ends, to enable running in
either direction. Only in a difference in gear
ing need the passenger type units differ from
those adapted to freight service.
In the development of this locomotive West-
inghouse engineers co-operated with the Rail
way’s own engineers and leading locomotive
manufacturers and frame builders. Every
year hundreds of important jobs in
which electricity is involved are' dele
gated to Westinghouse, the
clearing house for electrical
development.
