VAN SWERINGENS MODEST BROTHERS Famous Railroad Men Refuse to Be Interviewed Cleveland, (M—When men begin to usurp the headlines in American newspapers the world usually knows a lot about them in short order— what they like for breakfast and how they comb thelr hair and such things. But the bright beam of nation- wide attention which centered on 0. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen when they startled the financial world with plans for the Nickel Plate railway merger has never been able to throw into relief any of the personal things about them. The public has hammered in vain at the wall of aloofness and reserve which “the Vans,” as Clevcland calls them, have built about them- selves. They direct their vast un- derstandings in a cloister of elu- siveness and taciturnity, 5 Cleveland classifies them as mlil- 1lonaires but no one can be found who will give an exact estimate of their wealth. Several characteristics disting- uish “the Vans:” | As far as anybody knows neither ever made a public speech. | They never consent to be inter- | viewed. When they transact business the road,” each travels in a pr car with & corps of secretaries an stenographers. | They belong to few of the lead- ing clubs and take little part in| Cleveland social life. 3 Both are single, and in their late, fortles, and they live with thelr two malden sisters in a vast home | in Shaker Heights, ¢ urb which was the key wealth. | They acquired the property in| developed it as an ideal resi- | ce district, and bought the Nickel Plate railroad so they could | have a downtown terminal for a rapid transit line to their property.

A much | longer time of experimentation, | however, will be necded before the engineers and experts reach con- | clusions. American makers of hard surface road materials need not be disturb- ed by the prospects, however, be- cause the report adds that the rubber used fn the test merely sup- | plements ordinary materials In making a roadway, The test street is paved first with a concrete foun- dation, headed over with sand, and on the sand is lald rubber topped brick, sealed with a rubber cement.

John X Regan, founder of the school, came to the conclusion while teaching in Buffalo that the Irish in America were losing much of their traditions, and so patterned a school here after St. Enda's at Dublin. The school’s constitution says its object is to “provide an Irish en- vironment for American boys wherein Gaelic studies, ideals, and traditions and thefr repository, the Gaelic language, shall have an hon- orable and prominent place for the purpose of educating boys and young men for college.” PASSENGER RECORD SET London, (UP)—Nearly 17,000 pas- sengers, or an average of over for- ty-six a day, flew between London and the Continent on Imperial .iir- ways liners during 1926, setting a new record.
