PARIS. (VP) ectrlntlon of
railroads In France has been going on
a a rapid pace during the past tew
years and one company, the Paris-Orleans-Midi,
now has 1632 miles of
electrified track.
The P. O. M. Is far ahead in the
modernization process than the other
lines of Prance, who for various rea
sons, mostly mllltsry, have not
adopted electric traction extensively.
The principal advantages of elec
trifying the lines are a reduction of
50 per cent In traction expenses and
greater commercial speeds. One elec
tric locomotive can do the work of
three ordinary steam locomotives.
The P. O. M. line has at present an
electrlo locomotive which can draw
a train of 800 tons at a speed of 6a
m ph.
The most extensively electrified
section of the P. O. M. system Is that
from Bordeaux southward and across
the valleys of the Pyrenees, extending
from the Atlantic to the Mediterra
nean and accounting for 1157 miles.
This system had Its beginning from
the short aoctlon between the Oare
d'Orsay and the Oare d'Austerlltz,
the two underground stations In
Paris, a distance of about 1'A miles,
which waa begun In 1900. Pour years
later an 11-mile extension was msde
to Juvlsy, Fails suburb, but It wss
not until 1927 the electric lines were
first extended outside the Paris
region.
ine eiectnilcatlon program was
first carried out In 1911 In the
southern section of the system with
85 miles of track to reach the biggest
stretch of 187 miles, Toulouse-Dax,
in 1925.

ITALY SPEEDS UP
If proposals of the Appomattox Memorial association materialize, Appomattox courthouse, which burned
years ago, Hill be restored exactly as it was when this photograph nu taken during trie war oeiueen me
states.
APPOMATTOX. V. (AP) Not
even In stone will Lee and Grant
ever meet again on the field they
chose for ending the war between
the states 70 years ago on April 9.
A proposal for an Appomattox
memorial monument, showing them
as they appeared the day "Marse"
Robert surrendered bts ragged Con
federate army, has been abandoned
definitely and finally because of the
old sorles It opened.
Several years ago congress author
ized an appropriation of $100,000
for the monument, but the move
ment got no further. Protesting that
such a memorial would be seen In
the light of the Union triumphant
over "common rebels' rather than
"patriots of a lost cause," southern
people united In a vigorous campaign
to prevent its erection.
Field May Be Restored
Joel Flood, former Virginia con
gressman now serving as chatrman
of the Appomattox Memorial park
association, says the proposed mon
ument "is definitely out," but that
prospects are good for restoration of
the battlefield Into a national park.
He predicts congress will pasa a
revised bill, eliminating the monu
ment and providing for the park.
The chief patron of the revised
measure Is Representative Patrick
Drewry of Petersburg, Va,
Government engineers have sur
veyed the battlefield area and re
cently Arno B. Cammerer, director
of the National Park Service, inspect
ed the territory.
Would Restore Old Buildings
The park would embrace about
, 1.000 acres which could be acquir
ed from the owners without dlffl
culty, says Flood. The site of the
historic courthouse and Jail Is own
ed by Appomattox county which is
ready to donate It to the govern
ment for park purposes.
Plans- for the park contemplate
the restoration of the McLean "Sur
render House," the courthouse and
the old tavern, and the marking of
Lee's and Grant's headquarters.
The McLean house was dismantled
for removal to the Chicago World's
fair In 1893 but It was never moved.
What la left of It Is still piled up
on the field.
However, It could be reconstruct
ed authentically, for two sets of
plans were drawn and adequate
photographs were made before the
building waa torn uown.
The old courthouse was burned be
fore the turn of the century.

the Van Dyke auto waa mechanically
defective, and that Mr. Van Dyke
waa "negligent" in not apprising the
plaintiff relative thereto. The plain

CLERK EXPLAINS
DOG LICENSE FEE
County authorities report there Is
considerable confusion among dog-
owners relative to the penalty affixed
since March 11. The license fee Is now
(1 for males and 91.50 for female
dogs, plus the penalty of 11. This
makes the male dog fee $2 and fe
male $2.50.
The county clerk reports payments
are being received daily wlthotit the
penalty. This necessitates non-granting
of the license until It la paid.
Dog-owners coming to the clerk's
office for dog license, also report they
have been advised that If they paid
within seven days after notification,
there would be no penalty imposed.
This Is In error, and cause of consid
erable misunderstanding.

to Peter O. Schmidt, president of

has not been generally known that
Louis Pasteur originally developed
the process In the early I860's for
the protection of beer and wine
through controlled low temperature
heat treatment which is pnsteurlza

process was applied In the milk In
