Chicago, June 17 M — The fifth revolutionary step in the history of American railroading is declared by officials of th> Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad to be encom- passed in the introduction of roller bearing trains on its lines. The others they enumerate as the flanged wheel, which made possible heavier rails and greater speed; the attachment of wheels to cars on pivoted trucks, permitting long coaches to negotiate curves; the placing of the locomotive boiler in a horizontal position instead up- right, increasing its heating sur- face, and the automabic airbrake, which gave the engineer control of the cars behind the crgine and permitted operation of long trains| at high speed. Roller bearing trains, after long experiment, are heralded as eliminating riding discomforts, | increasing speed, saving fuel and de- | creasing friction. | Expert at Woodcarving ; Although Past 82 Mark | Los Angeles, June 17.—(A—Al- though past her 82nd birthday, Mrs. Adelaide Samuels Bassett is a profi- adopted | |to the Persian Guif and from the | capital in Samarkand, cient woodcarver.
