WHAT TRAIN WHISTLES MEAN KEEPING COSTS OR THE F,
Engineers Oas Talt lo Obb taothar la Its   Ooaaly Fara agaat Baala* Has topply

A locomotive engineer never
"happens" to do anything. Eve-
•y lit'le blast of jits whistle has a
meaning of its own. Whis'b s are
part of the language by wbiob one
train can talk to anoth r and by
which tbe engineer can rignal the
towerman, the station man, the
brakeman or tne conductor.
A few years ago, says Horn* r
Eitigsley in the "Youth's Companion," . different railways had
different whistle signal, bat now
they are virtually all tl-e sam-.
But ths a histies may mean different things, even i hough tbe so ind
is the tame; it dep nds whether
tha train is moving or s andng
sill. The signal that you her
of en' st when the train is moving
is two lou-- and two short blasts.
The whistle indicates a grade for
road ciossi g and g us   like this:
 — — —   As you   '*ride
the cushions," to use the train
men's sla-g for riding in the pas
senger car, you   frequency   bear
one long blast -, which mea a
that the t*ain ia near a station or
some jda-e where it is going o
stop.
Maybe yonr train pulls i to th •
station slowly, tot there is another
train c.-mir g from theo-posite
dir«-«**ion. If}our engm* gives
two short whistles, the otber tran

To get good road.< through the
Logan valley it Waa necessary to
to appeal to the -ta e. It is true
that they have been constructed
of more enduring material and it
is likely that they will last in*
definitely.
But there is another highway
that demands the immediate attention ot the county commissioners in this section, and that
road leading from BeUwood to
Altoona np through G'aagow's
woods. In tunesi past tbis baa
beeu a much-traversed highway'
aud will continue to be so, but its
present condition is such that
will not admit of it being called
t modern road. This road should
come under the jurisdiction of
of tbe county, snd tbe route
changed. Iustead of itn%serpentiiie
path through Glasgow's woods,
a resurvey should be made,
starting at a point where once
stood the Clark bam and continuing iu a straight coarse
el one the river to what ia popularly known as Crider's store at
Pinecrolt. By so doing tbe road
would have bat few "kinks" in
it from Bellwood to Altoona..
This suggestion should take eonerete form ones it is proposed to
improve tbe highway.
Civilization owes a debt to good
foade. It is the highway wbiob
makes tbe towns, not the towns

which makes the demand for tbe
railroads, which is but a steel
