WAS CREATURE IN THE WELL

Tommy Had Never Seen It, but Knew It Was There Because It Smelled "Terriblelike.” Tommy Is nine and he has nine’s vivid imagination. He was out on a lake some little distance north of Indianapolis with a friend of his father. Tommy never was premitted to go out on tehlake in a boat, even though the lake was in his front yard, unless he had an older person along. So he just naturally warmed up to the visitor. “Say, don’t tell anyone, now, won’t you, if I tell you something?” The visitor uttered protestations of — "Well, there is a well over in the woods, and it hasn’t any bottom to it — runs way down to China, I guess. And it has a creature in it. (The visitor grew interested.) Yes, sir! Oh, it must be a terrible creaturel” “Ever see It?” asked the visitor. “No, sir,” answered Tommy, truthfully, though no doubt it detracted from his interest to the visitor. “Uh-huh-um. Well, what does this creature do?” “Oh, he smells terriblelike. Some day we think he will come out of the hole. And we don’t go by the woods at night.” Then the visitor interviewed father while Tommy was down the beach playing, and learned that there was a sulphur well in the woods, and that no doubt it did “smell terrible.” —Indianapolis News.

Misleading Influence.

“Do you think a sensational reformer does any harm?” “No,” replied Senator Sorghum. “But he is liable to cause a number of Individuals disappointment by making them think it doesn’t require any special gifts to stand up and charm a crowd."

VERY SERIOUS TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

TRAINLOAD OF RUBBER LEAVING PACIFIC COAST.

A solid trainload of rubber, 30 cars, value over $1,000,000, which arrived at San Francisco on the Pacific Mail Steamship company’s steamship Ecuador, left Point Richmond recently, bound for Akron, Ohio, and New York. This is the first complete rubber train moving from the western seaboard across the United States. The incident marks two important changes on the Pacific—-the joint return of the American flag and Pacific Mail to those waters, and the incidental diversion of the vast rubber movement.

PLEA TO EMPLOYEES

Necessity of Every Railroad Man Doing His Bit. CHAIRMAN FAIRFAX ASKS AID Co-Operation of Each Person Is Urged in Appeal Issued by Special Committee on National Defense— Details Outlined. In an appeal issued to the railroads of the country by Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the'special committee on national defense of the American Railway association, the co-operation of each employee is urged. This includes every person in the railway service, from the presidents of roads to track and construction laborers. The necessity of every man doing his bit in order to help bring the great war to a speedy termination was pointed out by Mr. Harrison. He said that unless all who are engaged in the great transportation systems co-operate loyally and completely the railroads are foredoomed to failure. Details of How to Help. He said that every time a freight handler puts extra effort in 'trucking 1,000 pounds more a day in loading a car, he will have aided Just that much In bringing the war to a close, as will be' the case every time a locomotive crew adds 15 miles a day to the running power of their engine. He told the crews of the engines that it is, more so now than ever before, .heir duty to do all in their power to keep their locomotive out of the repair shop. According to the appeal, 15 per cent of ths locomotives of the country are in the repair shops or undergoing repairs at the present time. It is said this number could be reduced 50 per cent by closely carrying out the suggestion of the committee in that regard, putting back into service approximately 3,325 locomotives. Reduce Time of Loading. The average time consumed by shippers in loading and unloading freight cars is about four days, according to figures. By reducing this time a day, or even a half-day, each ear can go that much farther in doing its work toward carrying supplies to points where they may be needed by the armies of the United States and its allies.

According to statistics, there are about 2,575,000 freight cars in the United States, of which 167,000 are normally under repair. By proper co-op-eratlon and quick repair work 64,000 more of these cars could be put into active service. Shippers are urged to see that cars loaded by them are filled as far as possible to their capacity. If every car is filled there will be that many more cars in service. As on an average only 43 per cent of the total freight space is utilized, the remaining 57 per cent is- wasted. Jr-Co-operation between the railroads and the shipping and commercial organizations of the country was advised in the appeal.

RAILROAD TO PROTECT DEER

Enginemen on Western Road Ordered to Extinguish Headlight to Allow Animal to Jump. —— A kindly act on the pdrt'of a railway Is the order of a big California railroad to its enginemen that when a deer is seen on the track at night the headlight shall be extinguished for a moment. More than a dozen deer were killed by trains In California in January. It has been discovered that when the headlight is extinguished, if only for a second, the animals are able to jump to safety. Otherwise the glare of the headlight dazes them so that they are run down before they can escape. .

which has grown to be one of the country’s greatest industries. Its utility in the construction of tires and other articles in current use has expanded so as to take in munitions and many other manufactures included in the never-ending circle of necessity. The value of the import will probably reach $200,000,000 this season, and as none of the product is domestic, the movement from abroad is one of the serious problems at present engaging the attention of the transportation world. ~•• = - -

MOOSE STOP TRAINS

Herds of moose have been delaying trains on the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad, which runs through Jasper Park, Alberta. The superintendent at Jasper reported that following a ten-foot snowfall in that region the animals would gather on the tracks, which was the only place cleared, and would fun frantically ahead of the engine. Sometimes passenger trains would lose as much as two hours by slowing down or stopping to avoid killing the moose. In one or two instances the animals turned and charged the engines.

AVOID ACCIDENTS ON ROADS

Intricate Electrically Operated Mechanism Installed by Two Big Railroads In Chicago. A room filled with intricate, electrically operated mechanism Installed at a cost of SIOO,OOO by two large Western roads on Washington street, Chicago, the junction of the two roads, has reduced to'the minimum the possibility of accidents and injuries to the traveler. This room is the headquarters for the interlocking signal system installed by the railroads. It is through this station that the lives of thousands are safeguarded as they go thundering over the tracks of the two roads, in daylight and darkness. Through the medium of this new service the possibility of a headon collision is practically obliterated and the open-switch catastrophe becomes a thing of the past. The headquarters station is connected with dozens of smaller stations along the routes of the two roads, and between these stations are both overhead and track-light signals. Through the installation of the new system the forgetful switchman and the untrustworthy signalman become things of the past, and travelers may slumber in peace as they are whirled through the maze of tracks in the railroad yards.

PRACTICAL HINT ON ECONOMY

American Railroad Man Makes inter, esting Suggestion to Employees on Use of Pencil Holders. An interesting suggestion of econ» omy has recently been proposed by an American railroad to its employees, in the use of pencil holders. Ordinarily, a pencil is thrown away when it has been reduced to its last third, but if placed in a pencil holder it may be used down to. the last inch without any inconvenience to the user. Each pencil is a small item of finance, but on the amount of pencils used by that one company alone, the saving would amount to thousands of dollars every year.

Concession in Brazil.

The president of Brazil has granted a concession of the construction and operation of a railway from Cuyaba, the capital of the state of Matto Grosso, to connect with the Araraquara railway. The t<ftal extension will be about 620 miles in length and will furnish direct railway communication between the city of. Cuyaba and the port* of, Bio and Santos.

Hassocks for Footrails.

Hassocks as substitutes for -metal footrails are finding their way into many car bodies designed more particularly for the use of women. The light-colored shoes of the moment are largely responsible for the change. Metal rails frequently stain them and hence are in disfavor, though In winter something of the kind under the guise of a heater is much to be do sired. . & a

Economy.

An amateur gardener of Irvington has learned to "have his potatoes and plant them, too,” and his plan may afford a suggestion to others who are planting gardens in bac,k yards and vacant lots. In jdace of cutting the potato up in the usual way—into, as many pieces as there are eyes—the Irvlngtonian simply peels the potatoes, cutting a little deeper where the eyes occur. Thus the part of the potato which clings to the peeling hanging to the eye will afford nourishftient for the plant until it takes root, and he saves about half the Inside of the potato for the pot. • He took the hint from an old negro who has had such success in raising potatoes that his “tater patch” is famed in his neighborhood—lndianapolis News.

To Keep Phone Cord Straight.

A new conrtlvance described in Scientific American promises to keep the kinks out of flexible telephone cords. The device consists of “two small composition parts turning on a central spindle, all inclosed in two brass shells or covers. Between the two rotating parts are two ball races that serve both as fractional bearings and as conducing means. The cord terminals are easily connected to the binding screws on each part, and there is ample room for a strain knot within each shell. The freedom of the swiveling of the two halves eliminates the snarling of the cord.” *>
