Greene IN VOLON IN MUNICIPA DEFINES A TORNADO Causes and Effects of Windstorms— When, They Occur—Preca- tions to Avoid Injury. The United States Weather Bureau has issued a series of warnings and definitions of tornado conditions which are briefly summarized below. It says that tornadoes are usually preceded by high temperatures and humidity—a weather condition generally said to be "sultry," "stick," or "oppressive." Rain may come before, with, or after a tornado, or very rarely, there may be no rain at all. The barometer does not foretell a tornado, though it indicates low pressures; and tornadoes always occur in a "low" area. The season in which tornadoes may be expected varies according to the region. They may visit the Gulf States in winter, and as the season advances the region of greatest frequency is in the Plains States and the Mississippi Valley, from April to September, inclusive. In this region May is the worst month, with April next. East of the Appalachian Mountains, however, tornadoes rarely occur until after July. Generally they come between 3:30 and 5 p. m., but they may even come at night: Persons may somewhat avoid tornado danger by watching the local signs and reading the weather maps, which at least show the conditions which favor tornado formation. The local signs are heavy, dark clouds, first in the southwest, almost immediately followed by clouds in the northwest, and north. A funnel-shaped cloud is a sure sign, though there may be a tornado when such a cloud is not readily seen. If a funnel cloud can not be seen, the whirling motion of the air many be known by a peculiar roaring noise, somewhat like the rumble of distant thunder or the approach of a heavy train of cars. If one can see the cloud and get an idea of the direction in which it is moving, the zone of safety is at right angles to the direction of motion. The southern margin is usually more dangerous than the northern, and this should be remembered in seeking a place of safety. The width of the path of greatest destruction is ordinarily not more than a few hundred yards, though this destructive diameter may be from some rods wide to a half mile, or sometimes wider. However, the worst part is comparatively narrow, and relative safety may be bad only a short distance at right angles, to the line of the advance of the tornado. In some of the Plains States there are so-called "cyclone" cellars, and where these are not available the southwest corner of the cellar of a frame building is the next best place. Brick buildings are not so safe, but the cellar is probably the safest place in them. In the Omaha tornado very few brick houses were seriously damaged. These are ordinarily unroofed though sometimes the walls crumble or fall outward. Western men define a tornado as a violent windstorm, with rain or hail, thunder and lightning, in which the air masses whirl with great velocity around a central core, while the whole storm travels across the country in a narrow path at high speed. The thunder and the whirling motion have given rise to two theories of the derivation of the word, as to whether it is derived from the Spanish "tronada," a thunderstorm, or from the Latin "tornate," to turn. A cyclone, in the definition of the Weather. Bureau, is not necessarily a windstorm of great velocity, but rather a widespread storm that moves with no great speed. Its width may cover several States. This cyclone, or area, of low pressure-indicated as "low" on the weather map-gives conditions essential to tornadoes. Many cyclones never develop a tornado, but a tornado never develops without the cyclone, and almost invariably the tornadoes occur in the southeast quarter of the low area. About 120 cyclones pass across the United States each year, moving in a general way from west to east. They are of great benefit because they induce a movement of surface air from the south and southeast, and the rainfall that makes the great interior valleys a rich agricultural region is dependent upon these southerly, moisture-bearing winds. Proactically all of the cyclones of the warm season give rise at some time or place to thunderstorms or hall or violent winds. These winds may be violent enough to cause destruction, but unless they have the whirling column of air they are not tornadoes. In the East it is not always easy to distinguish the funnel-shaped cloud, but the lay of the debris after a storm will tell whether there has been a twisting motion. Tornadoes almost invariably move in an easterly direction and generally from southwest to northeast. The average length of the path of destruction is about 25 miles, and this path may not be continuous, if the funnel cloud is not in contact with the earth during its whole course. Sometimes it rises and goes for a considerable distance before descending again.

FLOORED JIM JEFFRIES And Fought Jack Johnson to a Couple of Draws $1,400 -Got $1,000 Detroit, Mich.—One of the greatest "might-have-beens" in ring history was Hank Griffin, a multifaceted boxer, who died at Ann Arbor seven years ago. With more money for proper training and expert management, Hank might have developed into a champion heavyweight, for he was the first to win the pugilists of his time. Jim Jeffries fought his first professional battle with Hank as his opponent twenty years ago in Los Angeles. Griffin later years were spent in teaching boxing to the youths of the University of Michigan, and before that he conducted a fight club very successfully and traveled as a uninstructed instructor in California. His principal income was derived from acting as sparing partner and trainer to more successful boxers. He served in that capacity to Bob Fitzsimmons, and Idolized "Ruby Robert," and as cordially hated Jeffries. Griff and Jeff first mingled in the ring in 1893, when he conducted a champion was a husky and Griff was an accomplished ring general. The Afro-American made a monkey of Jim during the first part of the mill, but Jeff waded in for more, and in the fourteenth round over and in the fourteenth Hank out for the count. After Jeff had defended Fitz and Corbett he toured the country offering $1,000 to any man who could stand before him for four hours and be in the arena for a long time in lense and the exhibition was staged in Los Angeles in September, 1901. Jeff had an advantage in weight of forty pounds or more, but it didn't help him any. The smiling Hank danced out of the way of Jeff's rushes, occasionally landing a slinger. During one of Jeff's bull-like charges Hank saw an opening for his best punch, and he bushed an mountain back into the ring seconds, wilder than ever, but Hank kept out of the way without apparent effort and stayed the four rounds, setting away with Jeff's $1,000. The following year Hank took on Jack Johnson in two battles, one of fifteen and the other of twenty rounds, and got a draw decision in both.

It will be sent tree to any office of the State Civil Service Commission, Columbus, Ohio. Many of these positions will be filled just as soon as the eligible list is prepared, and because of the many vacancies existing, it is the desire of the commission to get just as large a number of applicants as there are in the examinations. If at all interested, send for a copy of the Bulletin. TROOPS IN FRANCE Washington, D. C. — It is currently reported that at least 10,000 colored troops have already arrived in France, and that others are on their way. The Old First Separate Company of Maryland, Company L of Massachusetts, the old First Separate National Fortification, the District of Columbia, the National Defense of Ohio and a number of draftees are said to be among those "over there." The old Eighth Illinois Regiment is there to help fight the Germans. It is estimated that the number of Canadian and American colored troops "over there," combatant and non-combatant, number 25,000. Then there are also thousands of colored troops from the British and French Colonial possessions. Colored men also fill a number of important positions in the French army. **Buy War Savings Stamps** Juntic Monthly and other, leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary public.

A-CAMP SHERMAN COLOR-LINE A West Virginia Captain Draws It in a Mess Hall—Headquarters Notified Cleveland, O., May 3, 1918. Major Gen. E. F. Glenn. Headquarters, Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O Dear General:—According to reports reaching here today, one Capt. Frank N. Geilfress, Co. 38, 158th Depot Brigade, has issued orders that "No Negroes." meaning doubtless Afro-Americans, "shall eat in the mess hall before the white boys," the result being that the former are compelled and not allowing all or some of both races to eat at the same time. This we hear is his order and not even that of his major, or one from headquarters which of course would not be guilty of such an insult to soldier or officer, but of great state. Capt. Geilfress, I understand, is from West Virginia, and doubtless is unfamiliar with the laws of this state and burdened, with a benevolent prejudice that we do not believe even his state would permit such full sway under similar circumstances, because I feel there is no way out on this matter promptly as your time will permit. Thanking you in advance for what you do in response to this request, I am Yours very truly, Harry C. Smith. Chillicothe, O., May 6, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette. West 3rd and Frankfort Ave. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: I thank you for your better of the 3rd inst., calling my attentio tion to certain management of the troops in this command. The matter you refer to had been called to my attention previously and was promptly adjusted. Very truly yours, E. F. Glenn, Major General Commanding. Private J. B.

IN UNION IS STRONGER SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "You Shall Live to See Me Gome Again as a I Went," a Voice Told Her. ZION CITY, Ill.-Grandma" Delia King, the oldest woman in Lake County, not only has just celebrated her 100th birthday anniversary, but she also makes the starting statement that she has seen the Savior face to face in her wakeful hours and while in possession of her fullest faculties. She related her strange experience as follows: "One morning just before daybreak I lay in bed sick and discouraged. I thought it would be a good thing if the Lord could take me home to be with Him. "While I lay there Christ appeared to me at my bedside. He was dressed in a white robe and was so near me that I could see the fingernails on His fingers. As He looked down on me he smiled. Then He drew His skirt aside as much as to say: 'Don't touch Me!' A moment later He vanished. "I felt so full of joy that I got out of bed, and kneeling down, asked the Lord to take me home. A voice said to me quite distinctly: You shall live to see me come again and I went. Mrs. Kline was wonderful memory. She reads her Bible, converses intelligently and has a strong conviction she will live to see the Savior again take up-His abode among the billions of this world. Last Sunday this wonderfully preserved centenarian mounted the platform at the tabernacle here and delivered an address to the people-of Zion City. Mrs. King never is idle, and her fingers are as nimble as they were years ago. She is usually busy making patchwork quilts. She makes her own bed and scans the idea of anybody else taking care of her room. Her uppetite would arouse the envy, of those much younger than she, for Mrs. King eats three. hearty meals a day. She scorns elevators and climbs the stairways unassisted In the hotel where she makes her home. On Lord's day she takes part in the processional at the tabernacle, and she rarely misses a meeting. SAVED FROM SIXTY-FOOT FALL Boy Holds Stricken Man Thirty Minutes in Midday OXFORD, Pa. — Paralyzed while working at the top of a windmill, John Z. Wilson, who weighs 240 pounds, was held helpless sixty feet in the air for half an hour by his helper, a 17-year-old boy, William Gordon of Russellville. Ex-sheriff Ingram, on whose farm the windmill was located, was the first to come to the boy's assistance. Ingram, who is 75 years old, climbed the sixty-foot ladder upon the mill and held Wilson until the boy could go for help. John Cannon and Walter Biddison came and finally lowered Wilson with a block and fall. The ex-sheriff was wounded. Young Gordon, noticing Wilson reclining on the bar on which he was standing, caught the stricken man just as he fell and held him over a brace. No one was about the barn, however, and it was nearly half an hour before Ingram appeared. Wilson's condition is critical. Greenwich, Conn. — Wrapped in a jace shroud and sealed in a pine box, the body of Krazia, Mrs. Frank L. Brittain's Russian wolfhound, a victim-of poisoners, was buried heg on the grounds of the Brittain estate. While members of the household were directing burial of the animal, the countryside was being searched for the person who administered the poison. Krazia was found dead by Mrs. Brittain. A veterinarian—found that strychnine had killed the animal. A grave was dug near the swimming pool, one of the picturesque spots on the estate, and the coffin containing Krazia's body was lowered into it. Later Mrs. Brittain said that she would have a headstone placed over the grave. Krazia was valued at $2,000 and since puppyhood—had been the pet and almost constant companion of Mrs. Brittain. The dog was 4 years old. Henry L. Brittain, president of the Empire Metal Products Corporation, when seen by a reporter, seemed to be deeply perturbed over the loss of the dog Krazia. He said the dog had been the companion and protector of his wife. "I have offered a reward of $500 for the identification of those responsible for poisoning Krazia," said Mr. Britain, "but up to date nothing has happened to bring us nearer the culprits. Krazia was of purest breed and, altho she possessed 'high money value, money, could not buy the affection we had for the animal. Mrs. Britain particularly feels the loss of the dog."

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918. Dispatches from Washington set forth that names have been chosen for the ships. This indicates fine progress. Now all that remains is to build the ships. We are told we must be very careful with Japan. We may offend Russia. Wouldn't it be awful if Russia were to become real violent about something or other? The war department is only going to publish, without other data, the names of soldiers wounded or slain. But suppose John Smith is among them. Which John Smith? Or which Thomas Jones? Where do they find some of these intellects that draw salaries in Washington? Some of our leading men, taking their cue from designing white men, are proclaiming that "this is no time to discuss the race problem." What would happen to an Irishman in Ireland who would give such second-handed advice to the Irish there or elsewhere, these days? Do you hear of a leading Jew talking such rot to the Jews in this country or anywhere else in the world? The Gazette's publication last week of a rumor to the effect that Francis E. Young, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., had started suit against that East End color-line restaurant keeper who refused to serve him and James W. Johnson, national organizer of the organization, has not "taken root" as we hoped, from what we hear. Friends should prevail upon Mr. Young to "get busy" in the matter. The eyes of our people of this community are on him. They want material results from the hundreds of dollars they have given to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. the past several years. MINISTERS PROTEST! Monday evening at Engineers hall, this city, women of the race gave a minstrel show in which were several "of the better class" who "so far forget themselves" as to "mix" indiscriminately and appear before the public dressed in men's clothes with faces black, some even wearing knee breeches. Several of our local ministers very properly denounced this from their pulpits Sunday evening, one at least going so far as to say that if his wife participated in such a public demonstration he would apply to the courts for a divorce "the next day." About three hundred persons witnessed the affair. A few of our good women of this community seem determined to lower their status as the result of what appears to be an overweening desire for public notice of one kind or another. This is to be regretted. LUNA PARK AGAIN The Cleveland Caterers' Association, a race organization, held its annual ball at color-line Luna park, Tuesday evening. It is just such as this that encourages the management of that place of amusement to continue to insult our people of this community by denying them the use of its dance hall, roller skating rink and bathing pool every day it is open to the general public (our people only, excepted) year after year. It pays them to do so. Such affairs as that Caterers' Association ball, Tuesday evening, "emancipation celebrations" and the like are what net the park management the money referred to. Our people could go into the courts, use our Ohio Civil Rights law, and put a stop to the unlawful discrimination at Luna Park—but they won't. Why? O, that some of our people had more manhood, self and race respect! CAN THE COTTON CROWD Representative Henry I. Emerson, of this city, introduced a bill the other day fixing the maximum price of raw cotton at 20 cents a pound. Panic and rancor now rage throughout the South from Albermarle Sound to the Rio Grande. Senator Ransdell who was in Louisiana at the time, forthwith shot, a telegram into the Senate, where it is now embalmed in the Congressional Record, and a part of which reads as follows: "After conference with our cotton friends and bankers here, I urge you to make public statement immediately that no bill fixing price of cotton could pass unless it fixed prices on all articles made from cotton including textiles, also on all products of the farm, also on manufactured articles of all kinds, upon the same basis." Senator Ransdell seems to be all "het up" because some one wants the cotton war profiteering reduced. And yet Senator Ransdell and the rest of the consecrated cotton crowd placidly voted to put a maximum price on northern and western wheat! And in the meantime the farmer has the privilege of paying anything he has to for what he has to buy. In all candor, this fall would seem to be a good time to take Congress out of the hands of the cotton crowd. Why should cotton remain so eminently sacred? Why is wheat to be unsacrosanct? OHIO COMES CLEAN The state of Ohio has passed the 20,000 mark in regular army enlistments. When the recruiting campaign began on April 1, 1917, Ohio was assigned a quota of 9,534. There have been actually recruited in the state by voluntary enlistment in the regular army since that time 20,526, or more than double the state's quota. The patriotic showing of Ohio makes a singular contrast when the figures from some of the Southern states are noted. Louisiana has only recruited 3,231 out of her quota of 3,312 Arkansas has only raised 2,415 out of 3,148. Mississippi has only raised 1,704 out of 3,624. North Carolina has only raised 2,952 out of 4,412. South Carolina has only raised 1,689 out of 3,030. Virginia has only raised 2,834 out of 3,122. The contrast of Ohio's excess voluntary enlistments with the failure of these Southern states to meet their quota is an unanswerable vindication of the wisdom, necessity and simple justice of the selective conscription method in raising the army. Legislation should be enacted by Congress that will cause the shirking sisters of the South to put into the armies of the United States their full and exact quotas. If the government is good enough to get appropriations from it, it is good enough to volunteer for—anyway to be drafted for. OUR ONLY JUDGE SWORN IN Highly Honored by Members of the Bar of the District of Columbia and His Associates on the Bench Washington, D. C. — Immediately after being sworn in last Saturday by a federal judge for his fifth term, Judge Robert H. Terrell was confronted in his chambers by his associations on the bench, by a number of ladies, a large gathering of friendly lawyers and members of the Washington Lawyers' Association. His court room was crowded. Royal A. Hughes, Esq., president of the association, arose while the Judge sat in a bower of flowers and made a feeling and eloquent address of congratulation and felicitation, and then on the Judge's behalf, he joined the Judge with an elaborate basket of flowers, designed by Powell, and a handsome leather brief case. Judge Terrell made an eloquent and feeling address, in which he spoke in the highest terms of the uniform courtesy of his associates on the bench and of the members of the bar who practice in his court, and of the honor which his associates conferred upon him in this public address and presentation. He also said he considered the occasion as a milestone, marking a long advance from 1856, when the race had no legal status. Mr. Mary Church Terrell, the talented wife of the Judge, was called upon by Hon. James A. Cobb and spoke sympathetically of the appreciation in which her husband is held by the members of the bar and his associates on the bench. The ladies present were Mrs. Terrell and their daughter Mary, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, Mrs. Walter Singleton, Miss Jeannette Carter, and Mrs. George Burrell, of Philadelphia, Pa.

BEST FOR THE BLOOD — Petro Herbs. Sold only at Brown Drug Co., cor E. 28th St. and Central Ave., Adv. —Buy War Savings Stamps— An examining optician is an eye-witness. The man who has no money can't lose it. And sometimes a man marries for love of money. When a sculptor makes a cast he fishes for fame. It isn't every client who is able to keep his own counsel. He who lives for self and self alone is a successful failure. Even a first-class phonograph may be ashamed of its record. Some men make room at the top by pushing other men off. It is sometimes difficult to bring a girl of the perio. to a stop. Bees are only insects that have any use for any kind of combs. The sunlight of happiness seldom falls on a shady reputation. The more praise a man bestows on himself the wiser he is not. The straight and narrow path isn't wide enough for some people. And a lot of good resolutions are manufactured the morning after. A painful silence is unknown to men—but women know about it. Comparatively little work can convince a man that he needs a rest. Men with money can keep their friends by not lending it to them. A woman's inconsistency may be the greatest of her many charms. The sweetness of some women reminds us of sugar-coated bitter pills. Luck may be a good servant, but as a master his pay days are uncertain. No man ever got a pain in his back from carrying his neighbor's burdens. Cynics learn by experience, but other people imagine they were born that way. He's a wise man who makes the mistake of guessing a woman's age too young. One-half the population of a village knows all about how the other half lives. Small favors are thankfully received and often unthankfully remembered. Often the spirit of peseverance strikes a man hardest when he is in the wrong. The married man who waits for the owl car is sure to catch it when he gets home. Some men are so mean that they even refuse to let their wives have the last word. Two men may live together in peace and harmony, but no two women can do it. And lots of people seem to go to church for the purpose of picking faws in permons. A great many men make their mark in this world because of their inability to write. A baby is the only precious thing a woman possesses that doesn't stir up other women's jealousy. There is nothing quite so unsatisfactory as the good judgment a man might have used but didn't. Many a man's morality doesn't get busy until he discovers that he is being shadowed by a detective. One kind of a dark secret is the method employed by a bleached blonde in keeping her hair light. It is easier to criticise the small mistakes of others than it is not to make a few large ones yourself. When a man does a fool thing that gets him into trouble he is sure to say that "accidents will happen." There are two distinct classes of college graduates: Those who accept positions and those who hunt jobs. The man who sits down and waits for something to turn up will succeed in time. His toes will turn up. Few women are really 'afraid of price, but they hate to disappoint the men, who seem to expect them to be afraid. When a man and wife argue the man gets a good chance to say a lot of unprintable things and the wife to turn on the brine. A bachelor never figures on marrying a widow, but when a widow figures on marrying a bachelor the wedding bells do ring! —Buy War Savings Stamps— FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR Grossmans, the Leading Druggists ENDORSE FORMOSOL The complete drug store where you always find what you want.

BURNT AT THE STAKE A poor Negro lay cringing, He was to be burned at the stake; He had committed a crime, they said; And his life they vowed they'd take. His eyes scanned every face, But not a friendly glance did he see. He bowed his head upon his breast, So great was his misery. A woman had been mistreated, She was white, with eyes of blue; It was for her he was to be burned, He was not guilty, the statement untrue. The crowd with vengeance thicker grew, With taints and eyes aglare. They seared him with red hot pokers Most pitiable was his prayer. They jabbed hot irons into his flesh God save me, was his cry; A match was struck, the torch was lit Oh, Lord! Pray let me die. Just then a storm swept over all, Whence it came from, no one knew And those who were left to tell the tale, Were but very, very few. One man was struck down by a tree, He was crushed and could not live He asked that he might have a priest As a confession he had to give. Oh, Father, I am the guilty one, Please save my soul from hell, Water, water, my lips are parched, My life's story I must tell. That man that lies charred and black Over in yonder vacant field. Was innocent of any crime at all. But they would not list to his appeal. I am the guilty one, can you hear? I blackened up my hands and face, I loved the girl, who deceived me, It was I who planned her disgrace. She told me that she loved me, And had named our wedding day; I built a little cottage for her, And put into it all my pay. But there came into our village, A chap with fine city airs; And whenever he called on June, I was filled with sad despair. Then I heard they were to marry, My revenge? I would have her first of all; But I did not mean that my crime Upon the innocent head should tall. I watched her enter the garden, Then walk into the woods, To catch her alone was my delight, It did my wicked soul good. With my face and hands all black- ened, I thought they'd never know; But I could laugh and sneer at them, Wherever they'd chance to go. Father, I know my sins are great, And there's none but myself to blame; But, thank God, I lived long enough To clear that poor wretch's name. The black men have suffered much. For crimes they were not guilty of; Give them a chance for their life, Before they are into eternity shoved. I am shaking into darkness, Soon my eyes will close in death; Lord, I give my soul into thy keeping As I draw my fleeting breath. Mazie Earlhart Clark.

HICKEY, Manager Industrial Department, National Association of Manufacturers, New York. Business in 1918 is to be war. It will primarily be war against a well prepared enemy without our borders. We must not permit it to be war within our borders, as it will be if the blickerings, misunderstandings and social unconsciousness are not effectively and constructively dealt with by those who are directly concerned with American industry. The National Industrial Conservation Movement will continue to exert every possible and legitimate energy at the command of its writers, public speakers, printed literature, moving picture films, co-operating chambers of commerce, boards of trade, religious, civic, social and patriotic bodies, to spread the gospel of industrial co-operation. Certain agencies abroad in this land are constantly seeking, creating and seizing upon every possible form of excuse and opportunity to sow the seeds of dissatisfaction, discontent and unrest in our industrial world. These agencies thrive on misrepresentation, exaggeration and agitation of destructive varieties. Must Combat "Isms." They preach hair brained "Isms," class hatred and sedition. To defeat them is not only an imperative work for our national safety, but a patriotic duty incumbent upon every thoughtful American. It cannot be done by the occasional denouncing of such national enemies, thus affording them the notoriety by which they thrive, but must be combated in the public interest by a carefully worked out campaign to present the impartial truth on the industrial, social and economic problems at stake. Wage earners must be made to more fully appreciate that their interest in American industry is mutual with that of our wage payers so far as our industrial prosperity is concerned. Wage payers who do not realize the value of cultivating the human element in their plants must likewise be shown the necessity for them to literally interpret and practically apply the lesson of co-operation. It must also be recognized by our public officials and communities in general that a healthy industrial atmosphere is only possible when friendly relations rather than class antagonisms are fostered by law and public print. It shall continue to be the purpose of our work on a national scale to diplomatically and truthfully correct the misinformation and spirit of thoughtlessness which has so frequently led the public into acts of reprisal that are inimical to their own interests as well as to the interests of the industrial institutions upon which our national welfare as well as our individual comfort and convenience is so dependent. The patriotic importance of this work must be evident to all careful observers of events at this time. In its relation to our future industrial development the intrinsic value of a better understanding all round cannot be overestimated. Spread the Truth. We will dedicate our energies to the spreading of the truth, the awakening of public thought and the public's sense of mutual interest and responsibility. We believe there is no more room in this country for profiteering on the part of so called Capital or so called Labor. Our work will also involve a further extension of the campaign to protect and conserve the lives, limbs and general health of wage earners, the reabsorption by industry of jobless warriors and such of our soldiers who may be partially crippled in our military service, the maintenance of our armed forces in the field and comforts of our home staying citizens as well as our brave allies. Our industries must likewise do their full and important share in the financing of our war operations — Industrial Conservation, New York. Railroads and Manufacturers Are Learning to Eliminate Waste, Including Drainage of Man Power. Confronted by the necessity of utilizing every possible traffic facility for war material, the railroads are going to the scrap heap for additional equipment. They are patching up discarded locomotives and engines 25 years old have been rebuilt and made "better than when they were new." No doubt the railroad scrap heap is the largest of all American scrap heaps and by that token the one from which most material can be salvaged. But the conditions of railroad waste and extravagance in the name of efficiency equally characterize all American industry, and the new railroad policy of reclamation is important as an example and a precedent. What the garbage pail is as an index of household thriftlessness the scrap heap is as a monument to wasteful methods of manufacture. But the greatest of all wastes, progressive manufacturers now realize lies in the careless manipulation of man power.—Industrial Conservation. New York. 2426 A PRETTY AND PRACTICAL STYLE 2426—The quimpe could be of lawn, batiste or dimity, and the overdress of gingham, percale, challie, silk or other seasonable model, especially nice for spring and summer.

Bruton of Mountlea, Ga., who until recently regarded himself as a mathematical genius, has consulted specialists in Atlanta to determine if he cannot stop calculating. He suffers from an alliment which he refers to as acute and chronic calculation, and as a result of which his head hurts, he talks constantly to himself and his nervousness increases daily. Mr. Bruton became so mathematical that he counted how many steps he took in any direction, how many times he opened and closed his eyes in a given time and how many strokes he took when shaving. At first he required 503 strokes of the azoto to do the last-mentioned performance, and when he had cut the strokes down to 300 and whittled his chin down to nothing he began investigating himself with the aid of physicians. He now estimates that he will be cured by spring, during which time he will open and shut his eyes. 8,978,978-678,987,645,567,658,493,987,654 times. Arizona Has Cave Prison.
