April 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK URN] North Western to " Banish Yellow Hue for Pullman Green The old familiar coat of yellow paint which has distinguished the coaches of the Chicago and North Western railway for the 81 years of its exist- ence, is soon to be a memory of the past. Henceforth all through equip- ment is to be painted a standard Pull- man green, according to an announce- ment by C. A. Cairns, passenger traffic manager. This action by the North Western upsets a tradition which has existed since. the establishment of the road in 1847, but times have changed and the officials find the famous yellow color is no longer advisable for through equipment. Two reasons are ascribed for the change. One, that the trains carrying Pullmans and also yellow coaches present a "spotted" appearance, and this is objectionable to the eye. An- other, the increasing difficulty in keep- ing the yellow paint looking as clean and neat as the cars of Pullman standard dark color. Sentiment of local patrons will not be seriously affected, say officials, as suburban coaches are not to be changed for the present. The yellow color has proven more popular in the Chicago suburban area than at any other point. "Years of consideration and much discussion has been a regularity with North Western officials before the de- cision was made to change from the yellow," says Mr. Cairns. There are seventeen hundred and fifty coaches on the North Western classed as "through equipment." Of this number 212 have already been painted to harmonize with certain trains, and the remaining 1538 will be repainted as fast as the paint shops in the 40th street yards can turn them out. The coaches will be taken from service as they need repainting and will then receive the green color to which they are unaccustomed. Two years will complete the color revolu- tion, it is estimated.

Harry Waidner home at 206 Scott avenue, Winnetka, was decorated with spring flowers, candles, and for- mal boxwood trees for the wedding last Saturday evening of Miss Eliza- beth Waidner to Henry Horn Adams, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Adams of Englewood, N. J. The Rev. James Austin Richards read the mar- riage service before a few relatives and friends, at 8 o'clock. The bride wore a period gown of heavy ivory satin and a lace veil that is an heirloom in her mother's family. She carried a bouquet of gardenias and liles of the valley. Her only attendant was her sister, Peggy Waidner, who wore a period dress of yellow taffeta faced with cloth of gold. Her bouquet was of yellow daisies, daffodils and roses. John Adams, Jr., was best man for his brothe,. Mr. and Mrs. Adams went directly to Washington after the service, and sailed this week on the De Grasse, for a honeymoon in Furope. Upon their return June 1, they will go to Lake Minnetonka for the summer, and later will make their home in Minneapolis.

The Panama Canal cost $375,000,000. This is a vast sum, but is not as great as the amount which will be spent this year alone by the Bell Telephone System for new plant and equipment. : The total investment in the Bell Telephone System is now more than three billions of dollars. It took forty- one years after the telephone was invented to build up the first billion dollars in Bell System plant investment. The second billion was added only six years later and it required only four years more to add the third billion. At the present rate of increase the fourth billion will be added in less than three years. These figures indicate the tremendous forward strides being made in teleph- ony. They show as nothing else could the way in which the Bell System is meeting its obligation to the American people to give them the best and most com- plete telephone service possible.
