A N ice-cold bottle of Orange-Crush gives
sparkling satisfaction to parched palates.
Orange-Crush has a carbonated piquancy which
makes it an irresistibly delicious drink.
You can be sure of the purity of Orange-Crush
because it is made from the fruit oil, pressed from
fresh ripe oranges, and such other wholesome in
gredients as pure granulated sugar, carbonated
water and citric acid, which is a natural acid fpund
in oranges, lemons and grapefruit.
We suggest that you tity an ice-cold bottle of Orange-Crush
today. You can obtain it wherever soft drinks are sold; either
by the bottle or case. We bottle Orange-Crush under strict
sanitary conditions and personally vouch for its purity. A case
in the home will bring joy to every member of the family.

quit* no heavy us tht>?e in u&v ou Amer
ican railroad*, but th?y are laid with a
far better idea to the practical The
rail* do ttot' touch the croMtim Broad
iron damps are Ixdted iuto the tie* and
through these tth<> ba?e flange* of the rails
are .passed, wooden blocks being wedged
ti? the sidos to five rexlleucy. No spikes
are used. By thl* method tl?v rail* ??>
prevented from working ifkto the tie*
and producing uneven level*, and the
wheels pass over a pcrmaueutl.v smooth
uiul solidly lutM'd rail ned, This smooth
rail surface, with the eliuiiuatiou of
crossing*, enables the ftngll*h railroad
engineers to maintain u steady rate of
speed, tti? "-purts" so common on Aiupf?
iva.o lilies being unknown. The superior
ity of speed which the English. railroad*
art- a bleto maintain over tin* railroads
of the I uiU'd States is easily located in
the superiority of roadbed. In equip*
tUent of engine* and rolling stork the
American lines are vastly ill the load.
We heli&ve that with trackage condition#
similar to those of the English railroads,
ilit' Southern Hallway would ha euabled
tii ?maintain a schedule of eight bourn bo
tween t.'harVdte and Washington.
The ordinary English railroad coioji is
a series t?f Imxed oflf compartment*. If
we would take half a down of the hotel'
omnibuses of the type common in Amcr
ieu and fasten them side by side, pine
ing a pair of railroad truck* under eaelt
eml, we/would have a fair conception of
the English railroad CO&Ch, t>nee the
journey is started there is no intercourse
between the passengers of one compart
ment \y i t li another. They must sit fac
ing each other, three pairs of knees on .
one side projecting against three pairs of
knees on the other, and it is only when
I a Atop is made at stations that a shift
is possible. There is no water on the
ears and none of the modern comforts.
Hut o4? through traiui Lhe cumpurt^cuts
are arranged to the better convenience of
the travelers. Narrow side aisles pro
Aide communication from one car to the
Other, but the boxed-in system of six
passengers to the compartment still pre
vails. The dining ear, service oil the
through trains is equal, if not superior
to tiiat of the American railroads, t'er
t ni uly he <1 1 1 sco stmUucnoiiishrdtucmfwy
tainly the traveler on the English raii
roads gctsMnore for his money thnn the
traveler in the tinted States.
Hut even after the American railroads
should move up to the standard of the
English railroad iu trackage conditions,
there would yet remain one thing of ne
cessary accomplishment to enable thoir
through trains to make the time estab
lished on the English roads, ^aiul that
would be tlie .privilege of operating ?'
system of through and local trains. Un
der the English sohedule there would be
but two stops between Charlotte and
Danville on the Southern's through '
Washington train, -where there arc now
14 or mom In England a "through'-' J
train is not expected to do local ser
vice. but mi adequate schedule of local
trains is arranged to take care of that
part of. the business. And furthermore,
in England railroad legislation is <if a
constructive rather than a destructive
kind. The people stand between the
railroads and the politicians.
<52? The Sport of Kings.
After the war. the King of the Bel
gians took to travelling constantly by
airplane and became, a keen student of
aviation. I'nless he <i>uld not-' avoid it
lie never us?sl automobile or train for
any trip he had to make. Before his
visit to America he journey almost week
ly by airplane, from Brussels to Houns
low iu England, where his ^on is at
school.
King Alphonxo has always been an ?
ardent autoinotoillst. A short time ago,
when he wished fco attend the ^opening
of the Spanish parliament, he jumped
into his two-seated racer and rode, all
night long bo get to Madrid by morn
ing. He arrived in time to save the
falling of the cabinet after going 000
miles in less than nine hous, over the
no ugh mountanous roads to the Castile
region.
