SYSTEM ENABLES PEtJfJSY TO LOCATE MY OF CARS HANDLED IN YARDS DAILY

Frleght cars handled here dally 1,400-1,600. Passenger cars handled here dally 420. Engines handled from this point dally 70. Passenger trains in and out dally 60. Freight trains In and out dally 75. . Number., of employees on local payroll 1,254. -Freight cars carrying merchandise for local consumption 70-80. " Freight cars carrying merchandise from Richmond to outside points 50-60. - '

The above will give the average layman an idea of the amount of business done over the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad on this division. ' While these figures are varied from day to day thery are a fair daily average and no attempt has been made to boost them in any one of the details. They were secured from Panhandle officials and computed after an examination of reports and are approximately correct. City is Railroad Center. The most interesting feature in connection with the above is that it shows the importance of Richmond as a railroad center and gives some idea of the amount of business done daily by local manufacturers and merchants. Over 2,000 cars aijd engines are handled every day here and yet the most wonderful indeed it seems marvelous part of the whole proposition is that the local office knows where every car and engine is within 24. hoars after "it leaves here and although one particular car may not be back in Richmond for two or three years within twenty-four hours it can re located. This is done through the Pittsburg ,office where ; an army . of . over . 600 clerks do nothing but follow up the (location of every car and engine own

ed by the company.

Necessity of System. The necessity of this is apparent for if you watch a freight or passenger 'rain go by you will notice cars with V. Y., N. H. &H., or Santa Fe or Northrn Pacific painted on them. While hose cars are owned by. those roads hey may be sent out new from the bhops and never travel over the line of

the owning company again. Here Is where the .necessity-of keeping track of the cars is necessary for -the road over whose lines it is running reports its destination daily and the mileage traveled and they pay for the use of the car accordingly. The train dispatcher in Richmond can tell in a moment the exact location of any car on any train made up here so long as it remains in this division but when it leaves the division he has to get in touch with Pittsburg. Cars are often lost in transportation and it is through this intricate system that they are located. It Is practically a simple matter to keep track of passenger coaches but not so easy with freight care for they move only at an average of fifteen miles an hour and often are held by merchants for weeks who are glad to pay the demurrage which is small for the storeroom. Company Makes Charge. It is necessary for the company to make some charge for this for if it did not do so merchants would take advantage of it and hold cars indefinitely. The company does not want this "demurrage. II wants "the cars for Jt can make a greater profit by keeping them in motion. A reasonable length of time is given for unloading but this' time varies with different classes of merchandise. Figuring that . there are about, forty carB to a freight . train there are 4,000 freight cars passing through here every day and then estimate that the same cars would hardly go through again in thirty days and some idea of the number that have to be looked after may be gained.

COP

Opened and Censored Letter Received from England , There is how a general censorship in all mails to America, the chief postal censor asserts. The reason for this, it is intimated, is that without, such a censorship the British government believes there was always an opportunity for Germany to receive information through the mails,' and information of value to Germany is believed already to have passed to America in that way. The censorship on American mails has heretofore been insignificant.

"Many laws." he said, "affecting the work of township trustees are now on

the Indiana statutes which conflict with each other. There are so many' laws in fact that the trustee sometimes does not know what he is supposed to do or what he is permitted to do."

SHIVELEY SENDS

ENDLESS CHAIN PRAYER ONWARD

postage to get the thing to Edens, though Edens already had it. And Wade's life is amply insured, at that. Shove him along. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. It might bust somewhere, and thereby cease and determine a trifling with an Immortal Name that is being kept up -with almost fiendish industry.

Just . when Henry Ford,; millionairs automobile manufacturer and peace

missionary, started a certain endless

chain . prayer Is not known, but D. G. Reid of New York took up with it

and passed it along and then one day

S. E. Swayne of Richmond found it in

his , mail and he handed it over to

James A. Carr, and Mr. Carr forward

ed it to Charles E. Shiveley.. And today Mr. Shiveley confessed to being indirectly responsible for the appearance of the prayer in The Scoop, a weekly publication of the Chicago Press club. , Mr. Shiveley said he forwarded the prayer to Henry Wade of Chicago, president of the insurance department, supreme lodge, K. of P., who presented it to W. G. Edens of Chicago. Edens has turned it over to the Scoop with the following comment: "The prayer was sent to me by a personal friend who said it was handed down from Mr. Henry Ford of Detroit through D. G. Reid of New York, and my friend Charles E. Shiveley has asked me to pass it along. The prayer: "O, Lord, I implore Thee to bless all mankind. Bring us to Thee. Keep us to dwell with Thee." . Then the Scoop remarks: Just so. - "Don't break the chain" Is very like "what one would say to a dog behind a garbage cart, but these boys need no such warning. Mr. Ford is by no means past praying for. Possibly Mr. Reid's recent - experiences in Rock Island matters have induced a stte of mind in which he would rather take a chance on what a prayer might do for him than take a chance by breaking away. And Shiveley is out for any good thing he can

come ' by honestly. . Even Wade is

willing, and invested two cents in

To Keep Skin Healthy, Youthful, Wrinkleless

Lady Eglantine registering under the admiring eyes of a woman guest at the hotel. Her manager and personal attendant Frederick Stoneburn is at the left. Many stories have been told of toy dogs being given every possible luxury, but Lady Eglantine, the $100,000 prize white Leghorn hen, is probably the only chicken who is accorded honors equal with those of the most temperamental prima donno. Lady Eglantine has her own room and a private bath at one of the leading Broadway hotels during her stay in New York. She is being exhibited at the Palace poultry show at the Grand Central Palace. The snow white fowl is the most expensive chicken in the world. Her value comes largely from the fact

that she is the world's record holder for egg laying. Lady Eglan tine layed 314 eggs in 365 days.

Now that the social season is here, be especially careful to keep your skin in fine condition. You know how conspicuous complexion defects appear under the bright light of the drawing or ball room. Also how very evident are some- make-ups when similarly illuminated. I have myself discarded cosmetics entirely, using a process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the skin. At night I smear on a thin coat of ordinary mer-.

colized wax, washing it off next morn

ing. This gradually absorbs the devitalizedparticles: of surface skin; just as gradually the more youthful skin beneath comes forth, providing a complexion as clear, smooth and delicately tinted as a young, girls.' Get an ounce of mercollzed wax at your druggist's and try, this remarkable treatment. Remember, too, that, wrinkles, even the finer lines,- are not easily concealed in a brilliantly lighted room. Yon can quickly obliterate these hateful marks by . bathing your face in a solution of powdered saxolite, l'oz., dissolved In witch hazel, pt. And your face won't look" sticky, as after using pastes.

Throw Away Your Glasses Like These People Have Done Everybody knows that thousands of people wear glasses they do not need and that thousands of others wear misfit glasses that do their eyes more harm than good. It is also known that many of them, by the use of a soothing, healing, cleansing lotion to tone op and strengthen the eyes can discard glasses entirely. The prescription used by the people who wrote these letters has brought relief to tens of thousands. A. G Luken ft Co. or any other druggist can fill it.

Railroad Engineer Wore Glasses Eleven Years and Lost Thousands of Dollars Because of Poor Eyesight. I am the first person, I think, that has used Optona in our city, but will say If others that are inflicted with weak eyes will listen to me. I am sure you will find a large market here for your remedy. I have worn glasses for about 11 years. I have been a locomotive engineer for thirty years, but I have been retired en account of the rigid visual examination. I am reduced from $200 or more per month to $65 per month. Had I been In possession of your remedy I would have been several thousand dollars better off today. W. J. Phillips, San Bernardino, Calif.

Laid Aside Glasses I wish to express my satisfartlor with your treatment and exercise: which I believe will benefit anyont when properly used. I have laid asld, my glasses and believe that I can d without tm entirely. L L. Krug Chattanooga, Tens. Distance Glasses Discarded "I Can Count the Fluttering Leavei en Trees Aeroee the Street."

I hav worn glasses for several years, hot) for distance and work and wlthou j them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting or the machine before me. I caln do bott easily now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether, can count the fluttering leaves on th trees across the street now, which foi several years have looked like a din green blur to me.

.If .your eyes. are inflamed or tired. Irritated and, overworked; If they itch or burn; if you ever use an eye water or a eollytlum. Z to your drag gist and get a tube of Cptona tablets. Dissolve one tablet In t ounces of water and use as an eye bath from two to four times a day. Thousands have used this prescription and have received benefit beyond anything they expected. The eyes are neglected more than any other organ. This neglect sometimes leads to complications that result In misery, partial loss of sight, or. In extreme cases. In total blindness. Take care of your eyes be fore It is too late. Do not neglect them. Adv.

GET IT FIRST NOT LAST When a cold grips your system it is convincing proof that your condition is weakened remember that It is risky indeed to simply trust your strength to throw it off, because neglected colds have brought more serious sickness than any other one thing, while weakeningcathartics and stimulating syrups are often depressing and dangerous. The one best' treatment for arty cold the one so often relied on when others fail, isthe powerful blood-nourishment in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the very sources of bodily strength to suppress the present ' cold nd generate strength to thwfrt further sickness. Get Scott's first, not last and insist on the genuine always free from alcohol and injurious drugs. Scott Jk Bowjie, nioomfield. N.J. '"1S-M
