GIRL OF 14. SOLDIER’S WIFE

While Her Husband Fights ip France , Young Bride Will Go to School in-This Country. A fourteen-year-old schoolgirl became a soldier’s wife in Brooklyn recently, thus following the exarUple of her mother, who became the bride of one of Uncle Sam’s men In khaki 14 months ago. Mattle Lee Hudsbeth of Douglas, Artz., was the latest bride, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The soldier boy who became her husband Is David Eugene Henry of Spring, Tex. The bridegroom is only twenfy-two, and a member of the Twenty-second Infantry, now stationed at Fort Hamilton. The girl’s stepfather went abroad with General Pershing, and is nojv “somewhere in France.” His wife planned to join him and come East. While waiting passports here her daughter met Henry, with whom she became acquainted In Arizona, two years ago. While the bride’s mother is absent in France her daughter will remain here and attend school.

What Ailed Smith.

A plainly dressed man, who Intro* duced himself as Mr, John Smith, walked into a doctor’s office in a Texas town, and, having explained his symptoms, asked the doctor how long It would take to cure him. The doctor, who had treated the visitor with every possible courtesy, replied: “YOU will require careful treatment under my personal supervision for about two months before you are able to resume your labors In the bank.” “Doctor, you are fooling yourself. I • am not Smith the banker, but Smith, the street car driver.” “Is that so? Well, my good -fellow, I don’t see what you came to see me for,”

TRAINING WOMEN FOR RAILROAD WORK

INSTRUCTION IN OPERATION OF SIGNALS.

The statment that the Pennsylvania railroad is planning to employ women wherever It can, _t° replace men who are drafted for service, is among the first symptoms of the changed industrial conditions which we shall be forced to face. Even before the war, however, this movement had been under way to an extent which may not be wholly realized. According to our last census figures, one-fourth of all the Women over sixteen years of age 'are now gainfully employed: this contrasts with one out of every five in ' 1890. The actual numbers have increased from 3,500,000 to 7,500,000. Even more striking than these Totals Is the increase in employment of married women. In 1890 there were half a million, of 4 per cent; now there are nearly 2,-

ENGINE IS STRONG

Giant of Rails Constructed for Definite Purpose. ' \ HIGH VOLTAGE IS EMPLOYED Locomotive Is Capable of Exerting as Much Power as String of Trolley Cars Over Half a Mlle Long— How It Works. Onpe more has American genius demonstrated Its supremacy in the railroad field, this time In the production of the most powerful locomotive In the world; not a freak built for spectacular purposes but the first of a standard type of giants of the rails constructed for a definite purpose. It is capable of developing 7,000 horsepower, and was designed and built by the Pennsylvania Railroad company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company. This monster, capable of exerting as much power as a string of trolley cars over half a mile long, draws its’ current fspm a wire no bigger than that used by a trolley car, or aboiit'*the size of a lead pencil. ' Field for Engine. The Important field for this engine will be for hauling the tremendously heavy freight traffic of the Pennsylvania railroad over the Alleghany mountains from Altoona to Johnstown, Pa., including the famous Horseshoe Curve, a distance of approximately 40 miles? The freight traffic ovdr this division runs as high as 300,000 tons a day. In capacity this locomotive exceeds by more than 50 per cent the power of the large electric locomotives In transcontinental service, popularly called the largest locomotives in the world. The locomotive has been sent to Philadelphia, where it Is being placed ifi initial service on the electrified portion of the Pennsylvania main line extending west from Philadelphia to Paoli. It is built in one unit. There are two trucks, each having six driving wheels six feet in diameter. On each truck are mounted two powerful electric motors taking current from the trolley wire add supplying mechanical power through a gear wheel to the drivers. The total weight Is 260 tons, length 76 feet. Although this' weight is compact, the engine Is said to be much easier on the track and roadbed than the steam locomotive because the weight is cushioned and the running gear Is perfectly balanced for all speeds. Perfect Control. . The control has been applied to such perfection that power can be exerted gradually so as to enable theengine to start a train without Jerk and acquire the speed of 20 miles per hour with a heavy train In about two minutes. This speed is fixed as desirable for the grades and curves which will be encountered .when crossing the mountains.. An interesting feature Is the fact that the engine will handle these enormous trainloads, owing to the design of the motors, at constant spped, whether operating up or down grades. When going down grade the motors automatically become generators and return power to the line, and at the same time obviate the use-of the airbrakes, which are simply held for emergency use and for bringing the train to full stop. •

000,000, or 10 per cent. What these figures will be at the end of the war, it. is impossible to foretell; hut they will doubtless be very much larger. The modern conception of marriage as a partnership between equals will certainly receive an immense stimulus. To facilitate the work of training telegraph operators for the service, the Pennsylvania railroad has transferred its school of telegraphy from Bedford, Pa., to Philadelphia, and has opened the course to girls and women, as well as men. More than 200 students are now taking the course, which includes practical experience as block operators and work id-agents’ accounting, waybilling and similar railroad work. An average of six to eight months is required to finish the course.

TEACH GIRLS RAILWAY WORK

Young Women Being fcaid to Learn to Become Efficient Draughtsmen and Engineers. Fourteen young women have been taken into the construction department if the Santa Fe railroad and are being paid SSO a month while the railroad trains them to become efficient draughtsmen and construction engineers. This radical step has been taken by the railroad because of the large number of engineers who have been called to assist the government war work. E. S. Rice, assistant engineer of construction, says of the innovation : “Thirty-seven years of practical experience, during which time I have experimented more than once, has taught me that if-the right kind of a girl is given a chance she will make good. Many girls who are drudging away their lives behind counters sl/ould be bolding better positions. Usually the female is of finer clay than the male and has a splendid capacity for details. “Technically trained men often fall in practice. ( Human weakness is just as existent in men as women. Instinctive, intuitive morality is stronger in women than in men, and I propose to strengthen that characteristic in these girls. “There will be no coddling. They will be paid and treated like men.”

WIPE OUT GRADE CROSSINGS

California State -Investigators Recommend Changes in 1,100 Crossings—“ Bumps” Urged. The stataof California has JUst completed a detail investigation of its railroad grade crossings. Numerous crossing accidents are responsible for the undertaking. The investigators recommended changes in 1,100 crossings. For the most part, these changes are designed to give the approaching motorist a better view of the track. Only in 18 cases did the commission recommend an elevated grade. So much of the trouble was due to speeding that the construction of artificial “bumps” on each side of certain crossings is being These bumps let a car inside the speed limit Over fairly gently, but a speeder gets a Jolt that it certain to warn him it is time so slow down.

WOMEN MAY OMIT OVERALLS

Railroad Authorities Rescind Order Requiring Car Cleaners to Wear Cumbersome Garments. Women employees of the Kansas City Teftainal company won their fight against overalls when the company made optional the order that all women employed in cleaning coaches 9 must wear them. Through the Woman’s Trade ‘Union the women took their case before the city factory inspection department Legally, the company is permitted to designate the clothing Its employees shall wear while at work, L. A. Halbert, heacLof the welfare board, found. An arbitration committee was appointed. Then the company modified the rule. The women protested because there were so many men working in the yards who would comment about their attire. “Most of the workmen arevgentlemen,” one of the women remarked, “but some are noL”

RECOGNIZE WOMAN AS EQUAL

Heads of Industrial Plants Say Can DO Any Work Consistent With Strength Better Than Men. < JOnce man pretended to place woman on a pedestal and worship her. Now, according to Donah! Wilhelm, who reports “The Confessions of a Munition-Maker” In the Century, he is forced to recognize her as an equal, and respect her. < The quotation below states the .opinion of a hardhead* ed factory foreman, on the importance of women .in the world of labor: “Welch, one can see, isn’t emotional. One can trust his judgment of women. . “That is why I was glad he was present in the officers’ room of the company eating quarters when the report was made in detail of the strike scheduled to take place the-follow-ing Monday morning. He made a speech, saying: “ ‘Gentlemen, we’ve all known worn 1 en practically all our lives —ever since we were born, practically. Most of us get to thinking that a woman can’t do mechanical work because they’re always willing to let a mart" use the hammer, that being something he. .tjjinks he can do. But a woman can do it. A woman can do anything that a man can do, and most things better, but men can’t do anything Tiear what women can do. Now-, maybe you can imagine what women can do in mechanics, and I know what they can do. Leaving out big girls, I say women can do any klqd of mechanical work that’s consistent with their strength better than men.’ “Another superintendent, a new man', said he had thrown out a hundred men in his plant ‘back tn Ohio’ and put girls in their places, and he had found them better all around.”

A Mean Advantage.

The “canniness” of the Scottish people is aptly illustrated in the following : The other days two boys of about twelve years of age quarreled and finished up with blows. In the tussle one of the combatants got knocked down, and while still on the ground he queried: “Wad ye hit a chap when he’s doon ?” "Na,” gallantly responded the victor. i- - “Ah, weel,” quoth the Vanquished yet cautious youngster. “I’ll be here till ye gang awa’.” —Tit-Bits. The chairman of a meeting uses his gavel when he wants rapt attention.

Knew Father’s Weakness.

Johnny B ———, who has seen eight summers go by, not very long ago developed a fondness for playing “hookey” from school. After two or three offenses of this kind he was taken to task by his teacher. “Johnny,” she said, “the next time you are absent I want you to bring me an excuse from your father telling me why you were not hes-e.” “I don’t want to bring any excuse from father," protested the boy. “Why not?” asked the teacher, her suspicion plain. “’Cause father isn’t any good at making excuses. Mother finds him out every time.”—Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme.

Two young Irishmen in a Canadian regiment were going into the trenches for the first time, and their captain promised them five shillings each for every German they killed. Pat lay down to rest, while Mick performed the duty of watching. Pat had not lain long when he was awakened by Mick shouting: “They’re cornin’! They’re comin ! “Who’s cornin’?” shouts Pat. “The Germans,” replies Mick. “How many are there?” “About fifty thousand.” “Begorra,” shouts Pat, jumping up and grabbing his rifle, "our fortune’s made 1” —London Opinion. ..

Doris’ Idea.

Doris’ father raised chickens, and Doris understood all about setting hens. One day she was taken to see the new litter of puppies. They were curly black balls cuddled down besido a smooth tan mother. “Are those really Emmy Lou’s pies?” Doris asked. “Yes, dear,” she was told. “Well, then.” she remarked in a disgusted tone, "she couldn’t have sat oa her own eggs.”
