PRNfflY Section in ice to Complete plettng the greatest prbgrarn of ratU road Suburban electrification ever un- dfe'rtaken in any metropolitan centef Iri: the world, the Pennsylvania rail- rbad placed in operation yesterday the flft'al link 6f its Philadelphia electrlfled suburban service. The last sector of the Philadelphia pibgram covers seventeen miles of electrified trackage between Philadelphia and Norristown, on the Schuylltill division. With the Inception of the SchUyl- klit Valley electric service the Pennsylvania will operate in the Philadelphia suburban zone a total of 131 miles of electrified line and 426 miles of electrified tracks. This trackage, If placed In a-slngle line, would, be sufficient to build a new railroad from Atlantic City to Pittsburgh across the entire states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Completion of the railroad's suburban lines in the Philadelphia district fully electrified opens the way for inauguration of complete service in and out of the new Pennsylvania suburban station at Sixteenth Street and Pennsylvania boulevard in the heart of Philadelphia, as soon as construction work on the terminal and its ap- proaches'is finished.

The first Pennsylvania railroad suburban electrification in the Philadelphia area was Inaugurated between Philadelphia and Paoll on the main line to the west'in 1914. In 1918 the Chestnut Hill branch, between Philadelphia and Chestnut Hill, was elec- trlfled. Electrification of the Octoraro branch, between Philadelphia and West was completed in December, 1928. Local and suburban electric service between Philadelphia and Wilmington, was introduced in September, 1928, and between Philadelphia and Trenton, a little less than a "The Schiiylklll Valley electrification involves a total of forty-one passenger trains, resulting in materially faster schedules between Broad Street station, Philadelphia and Norristown. A total of 341 minutes will be cut from the present running time, or an average of more than nine minutes per train.

Through passenger trains to Wllkes-Barre, as well as all freight trains, will be hauled by steam locomotives for the present. With the change from steam to electric power on the Schuylkill division the Pennsylvania railroad will have in operation 354 miles of electrified line mileage and 683 miles of track mileage, representing approximately one-fifth of the total electrified line mileage and one-quarter of the electrified track mileage of all roads In the United States. The general program of electrlflca tion announced by the Pennsylvania railroad some months ago, covering much of its important eastern track mileage, Is going ahead with great The project involves a change from Steam to electric power of both passenger and freight service from Hell Gate bridge, New York, through Philadelphia and Baltimore to the Potomac gateway at Washington.

Poultrymen from sixty countries will be present tomorrow when the fourth world's poultry congress opens at Crystal palace to continue until July 30. The Duke of York will open the congress, of which King George, Queen Mary and the Prince of Wales are patrcms. The congress has been organized by the British ministry of agriculture and fisheries In conjunction with the department of agriculture for Scotland and the ministry of agriculture of Northern Ireland. For the past month people interested in poultry have been arriving in London from various parts of Europe, Africa attd the- Americas, nly-thfes of the flattens ed by delegates will stage national exhitoiftohs. Fblldwing lomorfow's opening session tfte congress will swing into the routine hard wofk of; regular morning meetings.

During the fftofning ses' siona 170 papers, the pick-of thbse submitted by experts all over the world, will be discussed. It Is for th6 interchange of world knowledge that the congress exists, s. Five special sessions win be held simultaneously to discuss: (a) ing and incubation, (b) nutritidn and rearing, (b) diseases and their control, (d) economics, including market- Ing, (e) education and general. In addition to the special sessions and morning meetings a separate sessions for papers dealing with rabbits, pigeon, in other small livestock will be arranged. The ground floor of the Crystal palace and the galleries of the main floor will be allocated to the livestock displays which will be non-competitive.

All of the fowls and livestock entered will be subject to a veterinary examination and" a sick bay has been vlded. Space set aside for trade exhibits was contracted for by June 1, and the original 35,000 'square feet allotted to business houses proved insufficient. Ten thousand square feet were added, but the amount also proved inadequate. While the congress will demand a great deal of hard work, a varied program of afternoon and evening entertainment starts tonight when the government of Great Britain will receive delegates and members of the parley at Lancaster house. On Wednesday evening the.

government will give a dinner for foreign delegates. On the closing day of the congress a garden party will be held at Windsor castle. Delegates a body tour the historic grounds, of the castle which is in a remarkable state of preservation. The City corporation will give a conversazione in honor of the delegates on Thursday and on Friday and Saturday evenings the Army and Royal Air Force pageant will be held at the Crystal palace. Delegates will have the opportunity of hearing the Handel festival choir of 2,500 voices under the direction of Sir Thomas Beechman, Crystal palace, the venue of congress, is one of Britain's most famous meeting halls.

The palace Is acces- 21, sible" uimi piattleally every central station in London with a Journey time of 15 to SO minutes. the headquarters for the congress itself are considered extremely appropriate. The palace came Intb being in 1851 but was not opened to the public utttll 1864 after a sum of 1,350,000 or $6,661,000 had been spent to construct the place of glass. Two hundred acres of beautiful grassed and shrub-covered grounds surround the palace which occupies an imposing position 6n Sydenham heights. During the World war the grounds and palace were used as a naval depot.

After the building was redecorated it was again opened for public 'use on June 9, 1920. Today the structure and its contents are roughly valued at $12,600,000. Within the walls of the glass palace are art treasurers of Egypt and Greece, Italy, the Far East and Africa.

While the factories have been closed the demand for steel from the automobile makers nas increased in anticipation of resumption. This is a straw pointing to better business. From almost every district evidences appear in the Important barometric steel Industry that buyers believe prices have hit bottom and are ready to place orders. Inquiries for Structural steel orders increase In spite of the fact that this has been one of the most active branches of tfie steel industry. Structural steel awards last week were the largest of any week this year.

FLYNN. NEW July shut down of the automobile makers for a fortnight or so has added somewhat deeper tinge to the feeling of uncertainty, though without any good reason. The outlook is for resumptions in all closed factories by August. Moreover, July shutdowns in the automobile trade are not unusual. Ford plans to reopen July and news comes that that concern plans a daily output in the first ten days of August of 6,500 cars.

News of the closing, down of automobile and kindred plants during July has been strangely missing from the business news in the papers. When this business depression started an immense amount of false ballyhoo was fed oUt to th'e people. It took months before the self-appointed guardians of the public emotions realized that they had made a capital error in this stupid ballyhoo. Now, apparently, they are making another mistake in supposing that the suppression of these factory closings'will help things. The truth is that the business is now at its bottom.
