Cloward, shop foreman of the Pennsylvania railroad machine shops at Wilmington. Del., was awarded the John Clark ‘kims memorial scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania, according to an announcement made Saturday, by the railroad company. The interstate commerce commission Saturday ordered every interstate express coiripany in the country to submit before Feb. 1 complete statements as to their business on certain designated days and to show cause before that date why the commission’s sweepingly low rates; recently suggested should not be declared effective. ’ Dr. Carl Alsberg has been appointed by President Taft to the position formerly held by Dr, Harvey W.

Rglph Johnson, aged 14, son of Mrs. Mollle Johnson, of Milroy, swallowed a whistle and every time he breather the whistle blew.
