Whereas, most of the subjects of the congress were devated to such subjects as the functional activity of the adrenal medulla, the motility of the gastric intestinal tract, and the "curative effects of radiation, some of the physiologists paused during the meeting long enough tộ discuss with the United Press a few more popular topics.

Coming in from his temple to ace the tights of the great city, and perhaps to collect from the wealthy devotees, he thought the streets of Hankow as safe as a country road. A Chinese' driving a car round a corner at a good speed knocked the dreamer senseless and he died soon after admission to a hospital. The accident happened in the French 84.60 Concession and the driver and car were handed over to the Chinese authoritica.-.-C. Daily News.

NEW OLYMPIAN

The building of The Milwaukee Road thru this rugged mountain range was a notable engineering feat. From many points on the climb won-. derful bird's eyes give vivid impressions of the difficulties which they, overcame."Going over the hill" in the days of steam was a task indeed, but the electric locomotive makes easy work of it and gives you who use the new Olympian a comfort and a pleasure in mountain scenery... hitherto unknown on railway journeys.

Roller bearings add to the riding ease of this train-all the way from Seattle to Chicago. No other transcontinental train is so equipped. Rector's delightful dishes are served in the dining car-another exclu sively Milwaukee feature.

The observation car contains many conveniences that add to your en joyment-lounge rooms, library, buffet, radio, valet, maid.
