About thc Road
The coiMaimiisled «^nhirt:t;rutint of the Long Island section of the Penn¬ sylvania Terminal, at an e.stlmatcd f08t of $300,000, means ils second en laxgement in three years. The cir- cumfttaiK*e emphasizes the remarkable increase in population on Long Island which is- due in no small measure to the bulk of the Long Ibland traflic to points within fifty miles of the city.
Kive years ago, when the population of Long Island was nol a.s stable as present, but when, nevertheless, there was a demand for additional trains be¬ tween points In Nassau County, an official of the road said "a railroad Is not run for the fun of It, but as a money making enterprise." Thus when the nefcesslty for the additional trains arose it waa considered business policy to put them In operation.
Since that time the trains petitioned for have not only been placed on the ' Hchedule, but three times the number. This Illustrates in the sl longest pos¬ sible way the remarkable trend of siih- urban populalion lo Lonn Island.
The bulk of suburban traffic on the island wafc conflned practically to Queens Borough and to points such as Jamaica, Ulchmond Hiil, Flushing, Hollis and the Rockaways up to half 11 decade ago. Now Nassau couuty is a keen rival of Queens in the race for growth and improvement.
VVhen the movemeni to .Nassau county began the area south ot Mer¬ rick road to Hempstead IJay and the ocean was a* wilderness. An eleclric branch now penetrates it. This growth has not been a mushroom one, hut on the contrary it has be«ui so RUbstantial that the railroad company has not only improved the service, but the system of transportation as well.
Hundreds of thousands ut' dollars have been aded lo the taxable values of the town of Hempstead in the last few years. The tax hooks of this sec- Jjon tell the story of growth In fee values. Every new home has aided the Increment of surrounding land values.
In view of this development in real estate, it would not be a surprise to real estate men if in the coming live years found 11 imperative lo place four tracks under and over Atlantic ave¬ nue, in Brooklyn, instead of two that are now tbara.
According to the latest ligure.'' ob¬ tainable more than 2,000 couunuters travel back and forth by train from stations of the South Side each work¬ ing day of the year. The railroad, although one of Long Island's fore¬ most tnstiutions is controlled largely by outsiders a comparatively few of whom use it except during the sum¬ mer seaaon. Of its capital slock 56.60 per cent is owned by the I'enn¬ sylvania Railroad Coinpany: and .159 men, 184 women, two trust companies, two educational and elemosynary in¬ stitutions and one industrial corpor¬ ation control the remainder. Eight een of the shareholders live in other countries.
These Interesting facts concerning the much complained of and yet often reliable Long Island Railroad are com piled from a recent report of the sec¬ retary for the Bureau of Economics together with data prepared especial¬ ly for The Nassau Post.
According to the annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad, filed two months ago 48 per cent of its-share holders are women who use the rail¬ road AlQiOBt dally. The 184 women stockbolderB of the Long Island Rail¬ road represent 34 per cent of the total numb'jr and their proportionate hold¬ ings in the corporation are 8.75 per cent of the entire capital. l)f the en¬ tire number 43 of the women share¬ holders live on Long Island and use the railroad with 46 of tbe male sLock- bolders. A number of others doubt- less maintain residences or at least spend part of the summer season along the shores of the island, but city ad¬ dressed are given almost invariably.
The present plan of the railroad to enlarge ita Manhattan terminal is doubtless based upon the belief of ita <ttraQton tm tha tutors ol Long laimmA.

The Store Advertisements Constitute Business Propositions, Affecting the Buying of Supplies for the Person and the Home
Every day the housewife, who is the "buyer" for the home and for the home folks, receives- through the medium of the store—ads in her newspaper—business propositions from the merchants.
Prices are quoted to her on the things she must purchase that day, pr tn the near future. Details and descriptions of the articles offered to her are gillen. Often particulars are submitted Tbhich frankly explain to her why a merchant is enabled, at that particular time to quote to her special and unust^al prices on ceiiain things.
Itis a part of the housewife's business routine to give to these proposals serious and intelligent consider¬ ation. There is no sentiment or fad about it. It's simply BUSINESS.
She is the purchasing agent of the home. She is eiiher a success or a failure in this role. If she buys blindly, guessing at talues, she is ustuUy a failure. If she buys understandingly, after due consideration of the buying opportunities offered to her. she is always a SUCCESS.
'But success as a buyer for a hpme is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of KNOW HOW. It means alertness, the knack of knowing an opportunity " aLsight. It involves a close familiarty tvith thestore- adveatisements—ASAj THE TIME.
Merchants understand that if a business proposition is to appeal to business woman—and every home-making ypoman is a business woma/i—it must be good enough to ^*pass muster."
