Aeroplanes Solve the Freight and Traffic Problems of Colombia. By Roger Batchelder. The development of remote sec- tions which have hitherto been in- accessible because of the lack of transportation facilities will no longer be a problem ir Utilized as it is t according to O. the Pennsy “Until recently,” Mr. Hale reported, “the chief means of transportation in the South American country was by its rivers. The Magdalena is not un- like the Mississippi, and on it run the same type of river steamers. The mumber of the people who in the interior are of Spanish cont, though Germans, Americans and English have settled in numbers for business purposes. “The aeroplane, however, has solved the problem of quick and effi- cient transportatic The trip from Barranquila to ¢ for instan was difficult, even by water.

All during the trying days of our country’s birth, the steady stream of shot from this busy smelter in Western New Jersey—still in operation on the Lackawanna Railroad— formed a large part of the ammunition served to patriot cannon. Ever since 1740, Oxford Furnace had played its part in the Colonial iron industry but about 1835, scarcity of fuel and difficulties of transportation caused the out- put to decline. In fact, it was the lack of charcoal which induced George and Selden Scranton to journey in 1840 to the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania for the purpose of experimenting with coal in the reduction of iron ore. In connection with this work, they established the Liggett’s Gap Railroad to Great Bend, N. Y. where connection was made with the Erie to tidewater. Later, they and their associates sought an outlet to the East by the Cobb’s Gap Railroad to the Delaware and the Warren Railroad through New Jersey. From these humble beginnings, and through gradual extension and consolidation, has finally grown the Lackawanna system as we know it today, the shortest line between New York and Buffalo and “Mile for mile the most highly developed railroad in America.” people, | August Sale Departments Muslins and Sheet- Linens ngs Towels and Pillow Towelings Cases f Silverware Quilts and Pillows Comfortables Tickings | Decorative Linens | ‘THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1922, — | August Sale Depariments mn < | Blankets Ruge Flannels Lace Curtains Housewares r winded 1827 FOURTEENTH STREET WEST OF Cutlery Soaps Poles Shades FIFTH AVE Our August Sales Are Business Builders Merchandise Most in Demand at Sale Prices A Sale That Has the Test of Time and Added an Appreciable Number of Patrons Each Year August Sales Save You Money Art Crash Curtains 3.94 Were $5.97 One and two pair lots, with stencilled borders and centre valance.
